Photo post # 11

Was able to capture photos of ladybugs! Achievement unlocked!

I've always wanted to take a photo of these cute bugs. I was and still am not a fan of bugs but ladybugs are exceptions. They are such cuties especially when they fly away! ヅ❤

I hope to take better and closer pictures of them next time.

Also, I learned something new about my camera! Discovered certain settings that would improve my "Aperture Priority" shots! Yeeess! I already feel accomplished today! What a way to spend my holiday! ✌ღ

Late Valentine’s surprise to myself… I guess?

I’ve always had no luck in raffles whatsoever. For some reason, my name or entry never gets called until I’ve given up any hope of winning. I only drop them in dropboxes with a carefree mind, thinking I will never win until this month.

There’s this raffle from Gifts Davao where all you’ve got to do is like their page on Facebook (Gifts Davao – Free Delivery), like and share the post about the raffle and comment on the post. You’ve got to comment on which one of the two necklaces you would prefer, yellow gold or white gold, and tag your lover. It was pretty easy and I commented yellow gold and tagged my partner. He’s not active on Facebook so that was just for the mechanics. He didn’t know I entered the raffle. I shared their post and tagged my friends who might be interested. I shared the post twice and I was very active about the raffle and interacted at the comments section of the post.

I was hoping without actually expecting that I’ll get the yellow gold heart necklace. One day, the admin of the page replied to my comment and announced that I won the yellow gold necklace! I couldn’t believe it at first! My glee sprung from a deep belief that I don’t have luck in such situations and here it happened! I won! It felt like a miracle! I felt like dancing for joy because aside from getting a really dainty prize, the essence and feeling of actually winning something after years of believing I am not meant for such things is heady! I couldn’t contain my joy and was excited to claim the prize as soon as I can! It’s actually stainless steel plated in gold with a delicate gold chain. Wow. After I claimed it, I asked my partner to clasp the necklace for me. I won myself a necklace! Happy late Valentine’s Day to me, indeed.

Swerte daw

        I keep hearing things like, “You’re so lucky he is your boyfriend!” “You’re so lucky because he is so handsome!” “I’m envious!” “He is famous and you’re such a lucky girl!” and something along those lines.

        I agree that I am lucky but for different reasons. Him being handsome is a bonus and I’m not into popular people or guys. If anything, I prefer the mysterious people. The ones you see on the sidelines. My curiosity pushes me to know more about those people. He just happens to come into my life and many unexpected things happened afterwards.

         I am lucky because I have a boyfriend like him. Caring, practical (to a fault at times to my great annoyance!), protective, and challenges me to become a better version of myself. I’m lucky because he is who he is and it makes me both sad and happy.
