I know I missed last week’s Fave Fridays post but I had a really good reason! I was busy running around preparing for my sister’s surprise 18th birthday! Yeah. It was a last minute decision to have one for her and we only had one month to prepare for it. If you know Filipino culture, this is called the “debut”. It was a successful event! I wish I had taken some photos but I was also busy running around trying to keep everything scheduled. Oh and the candy bar, it was devoured. I was just going to get one red velvet mini cupcake made by Rona of So Into Cupcakes and there was nada. zip. zero. Anyway, the goal was to get my sister to cry – happy tears. Mission accomplished. Oh and the excuse to get her to the hall?
“Hey, Monica do you want to do a photo shoot with you and two of your close friends? You can borrow some of my dresses. Just meet me at the hall – I’m already shooting an event there”
It totally worked. She fell for it. The dress? I bought it for her – because I didn’t have the perfect dress in my closet fit for the event for the birthday girl. Now I can borrow it from her. Hehe. What? That’s what sisters are for, right? Haha
Anyway, this Fave Fridays (like the title on the left? I thought it needed its own fancy title)post is dedicated to my favourite iPhone app that I use on a daily basis. INSTAGRAM. Equipped with camera, photo filters, tilt-shift, and social sharing. I love that I can take a photo then quickly add a filter and tilt-shift effect and quickly share to instagram, twitter, tumblr, facebook, and flickr. The number of effects is just right. Not too many and not too little. iPhoneography at it’s best. As Chase Jarvis would say, “The best camera is the one that’s with you”.
This week I also celebrated my birthday! Yay! I spent it at Auberge du Pommier with a few of my close friends. French food at its best. It was probably the best lobster I’ve had and coconut rice too! (Homard PochĂ© au Beurre Doux). Oh yes, back to the topic of this post. I took a few photos from that night. Oh and the cute Louis Vuitton inspired cake? Lucas surprise me with that.
Of course, with the help of Kristine. You can view my instagram photos here. If you would like to follow my instagram my username is reeese.

Enjoy && have a great weekend!
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to the US!
