March 13, 2020: It was the last day of our 3-week vacation, and two days before the start of the two-week enhanced community quarantine in Manila, Philippines. Our hotel was located just a few miles from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, but we decided to head there early as I wasn’t sure how the traffic was. We were filled with wonderful memories seeing family and friends during our stay, but we were also very worried of what will happen next. I don’t remember much of the flight back. I just remember going to the market the day after our arrival and finding empty shelves. All photos taken w ..read more

One of the fondest memories I have from childhood was listening to my dad tell stories of his experiences during his days in the Navy. He also talked about the multi-day cycling trips he went to with his friends many years ago. It’s hard for me to imagine that my dad did all that, because he is always working, and would often take side jobs on weekends. He didn’t have a lot time for a hobby. Now that he’s near retirement, he rekindled his love for cycling. A few weeks ago, I started going out on bike rides with my dad and my older brother. It was only this year that I started using a bike with ..read more

The camera I’ll be using for the second half of the Frugal Film Project 2021 is Minolta X-570 paired with Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 55mm f/1.7. My film choice is Kodak Gold 200 since it’s the least expensive film stock I found in my area. I bought the camera a few years ago for $20 USD and the lens was a gift from my mom’s friend. Frugal Film Project – The Zine! -is available here. Photo was shot with Contax TVS on Ilford HP5 ..read more
