surprises when you're not looking

I had a half day on Tuesday.



I was getting to the point where I thought, this is all there is. I've covered the whole city, no more hidden nooks and corners are gonna pop out of no where anymore, I need to get out of the city to get some fresh inspiration.

However, my schedule would not allow me to do so, so I had a cuppa down at my favourite spot. I brought my camera out but after looking long and hard, I knew it was a dead end. I finished up my coffee, and I was given a key to a different world.



I've always wanted to step into that realm, through those golden doors. I posted up a photo of it a year ago.



FINALLY, an opportunity out of nowhere.



It was past the facade now, I got to experience 1932 archi-wonder from the INSIDE! With VERY limited access though.



Surprises. They hit you in the face when you're not looking. Made my day.

i was just looking back..

..at my Bangkok photos. Miss the holidays so much, but I guess life was never meant to be a holiday.



Now if you're wondering why I haven't been posting a lot of photos lately, it's because I've been using film. It's also because I don't have time for photography. I still dream about last year, when I grab my Lowepro and just.. Start walking.



When we were in Bangkok, one of the most exhilarating things we did was to ride on one of these tuk-tuk's.



At night.



They get you from Point A to Point B. FAST. I don't know what is it about them, but it's like using the brakes is a sin. We went against the traffic flow, weaved through traffic jams, went from 0° to 90° at lightning speed around corners, and are surprisingly still alive.



Happy times.
