July @ Kathy's Place

I looove every collection of Jojo's all sorts of lamps and vintage stuff! I just realized that it is a good location to randomly shoot and shoot. Now that I have my "beloved investment", I am so fascinated by all of it, which by the way, I've seen ever since. With my camera on hand, i fell in love with its every bits and pieces. :) So, here are my best shots.

this was just sitting at their shelves ;)

see the red lanterns? cool huh? :)

Baia Cuore Language Institute, Cebu

Aside from hanging out with relatives, I spent half of July training and observing at B.a.L.I. This is a school for foreigners who would like to study and learn English as their second language. B.a.L.I. mainly caters before to Korean learners but now they also cater to Japanese, Chinese, Thai, some Iranians, Italians and some Russian learners. The place is conducive for studying, minimal distractions (just t.v. and internet). 


Here are some of my "advertising" shots. :)
