52 | The End

It's currently 10:01 PM in Seoul, Korea where I am. Korea has been an eye opener although half of the time I'm trying to squint my eyes as small as possible to minimize the wind blowing into my eyes. I have no idea how the girls do it here in Winter, keep warm I mean. I've seen a fair amount of girls in flawless hair, short skirts/dresses and heels without any gloves and they don't look the least bit cold. It's like as if I'm overreacting to the temperature. I'm pretty much like this ball of yarn, tightly bundled together everyday. I broke the record of wearing 7 layers today and I still can't feel my face (yups I finally get the song).

I've been really happy eating out of convenient stores. The options are endless although I've been tricked like about 5 times into buying a can of coffee thinking its pure espresso but after a sip I taste that essence of milk in it. Bah. But today I finally realize the trick to keeping your hands warm without a glove. Hot Americano. It's like this magical portable heater. And it keeps you awake. Totes-amaze- balls. 

Okay I realize I'm talking to much. I know I should be sticking plenty of gorgeous photos here but to be honest the weather is making me so sleepy. Everyday I only have energy to transfer the photos of the day up on to my laptop and that's about it. Picking photos takes energy. Editing them takes energy. Organizing them takes energy. See, so much energy needed. Ok I admit I am being lazy but I AM on a holiday. Sometimes I don't even bother putting my photos through VSCO and just use Instagram to edit them. However the lighting is magical here in Korea so most of the time I don't really need to do much touch up just a bit of brightness/contrast/saturation/temperature edits and the photo is more than good to go. I'm talking too much again right? My point is, if you want to get a little something out of reading all the way till here, I've pushed my laziness out of the way a little bit and posted some photos here which you can check out. No edits. Like raw raw. So, enjoy and drop some love there :)


On another note, one side of my strap broke on the second day and the camera fell onto the floor but it's so sturdy I can't find a single scratch on it (thank God) so all is good. But, I may have exposed the first roll of film TWICE to light :( so I'm just crossing my fingers the pictures are not too ruined. I'm really truly excited to see how the photos turn out. Running on full manual mode hasn't been easy especially when I'm trying to capture a certain moment that disappears so quickly. I've missed plenty of opportunities this trip and I can only trained my frozen fingers to turn the dial faster and be as fast as a bumblebee. Shall share them here when I get them developed back in Singapore!

Alright this is most probably the last post of the year. Like everyone in the world, I can't believe 2016 is approaching in a day's time. Just like what the boyfriend said, we are nearer to 2020 than 2010. Time, oh how you fly. Happy New Year in advance y'all.

Cheers!
