TAIPEI IS SO OOTD-FRIENDLY

-

If there is one thing I love about Taipei it is how there are lots of OOTD-friendly places.


For starters, on our first day, the place right outside where we stayed was so full of character some of us started taking OOTD photos while waiting for the others.


A lot of places have character that while walking, I regularly had to stop one of my officemates to take some shots of myself emoting.


The zoo had a lot of nice backgrounds, such as this one with plants.



Or these ones with the old trains.



Of course, for safety, I had to take more than just one shot.


In different poses, of course.


The national museum had some nice places for dramatic poses. Like this one that I spotted as soon as I entered the place.


I instantly knew how I wanted the photo to look and how I’d pose.


But my favorite would have to be this street with wooden gates. My officemates and I took turns having our photos taken there.

What’s funny is that after quite a while, we discovered that just around the corner was the Bopiliao Historical Block, which had more OOTD-friendly backgrounds.

So we spent more time having our photos taken.


Brick walls are the best. With details.


Or without.


Or with moss.


When I got tired of brick walls I looked for other backgrounds with patterns.


And of course I had to vary my poses.


But I found myself going back to brick walls and my usual poses.



But I really love these shots with the whole gang.


Very TGIS, noh? ;)

Till our next trip, TaiBaes!

I AUDITIONED FOR SMOKEY MOUNTAIN

I loved singing and performing for relatives and guests at home when I was young. One time, when I was about four years old, my mother asked me to sing Tomorrow for our relatives who were visiting. I instantly burst into song. However, after singing the first line with so much passion, I decided to stop and asked to be excused. I went inside my room, did a proper entrance, and then whipped out my milk bottle, which I used as a microphone. I sang “The sun will come out tomorrow” again and finished the song. No doubt about it: even when I was just a kid, I already knew I wanted to sing and perform for others. Fast forward to my high school years. One day, I read in the papers that Ryan Cayabyab was forming an all-male version of Smokey Mountain. Of course, I just had to try out. I didn’t tell my parents about it. My friends and I decided to try our luck. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, Smokey Mountain was a vocal group composed ...

TAO NA!

I’ve always found the expression “Tao na!” (used to describe a baby who’s already acting like a big kid or an adult) hilarious, but I found myself using it a couple of hours ago when Sadako kept on bugging Honeybun, my sister and I while we were enjoying our shawarma pizza dinner. To shut her up, we offered her a bite. As it turned out, she wanted more than just a bite. Good thing we didn’t put hot sauce on all the slices. Tao na!

LA PACITA GRAHAM CRACKER SANDWICHES

I’m always one the lookout for yummy snacks for the office and these Graham cracker sandwiches from La Pacita caught my attention at the supermarket recently. I was like, oo nga noh. It’s such a no-brainer when you come to think of it, but then no one really thought of it earlier but it really makes perfect sense. I guess we were all busy using Graham crackers for mango floats and ref cakes and s’mores. Good thing La Pacita came up with these Graham cracker sandwiches. The chocolate and peanut butter flavors were pretty expected but they’re still so good. I especially like the peanut butter flavor but both really complement the crunch and taste of the Graham crackers. My super favorite has got to be the cream cheese flavor. The cream cheese filling is pretty good, with that slightly sour-salty taste. It’s genius! I love all of them so much I didn’t even get the chance to share them with Sadako. Guess I’ll be buying twice as much the nex...
