MIBF 2014

Last September 21, I attended the 35th Manila International Book Fair at SMX along with my friend, Cheska.

I was able to snag two books — "After Dark" by Haruki Murakami and "Please Look After Mom" by Kyungsook Shin. A few days before the event, I actually finished reading “Norwegian Wood” which kind of explains why I purchased another one of his books — Post-Haruki Murakami vibes~ As for the latter book, it was an impulse purchase and a quick judgment on its title, plot, and book cover. It was pretty coincidental to have both books form one face.

We spent around half an hour walking around the area trying to look for a nice spot to shoot at — from the busy crowds of the SMX convention center, to the by the bay area, we ended up at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Spot the subtle streaks of Pink and Purple! I tried using hair chalk for the first time and was disappointed to have the hair chalk fade away when we arrived to the event. </3 I’m still aiming for Irene Kim's hair color, okay. Soon.

Colored hair, a beret, and going to a book fair — how stereotypical of an Art student can I get?

Lots of love to my malnourished panda for the great MIBF date and the amazing outfit shots (even though we struggled looking for a nice location). ♡ Also loved our heart-to-heart conversation during our Pepper Lunch date. Love you, beh!!
