New Year, Same Me

Hi Ya'll, Happy New Year! I'm a little late on the greetings, I know, but what can I say? Between Bangkok, Macau, and Jeju, there was really little time for me to shoot, sit down, edit, and type up posts.

My brothers came to visit me in the Land of Smiles over the Christmas holidays, and I was juggling time spent in the office during the mornings with taking them out to places within the city at night. Then the weekends were saved for longer out-of-town excursions a.k.a. the beach. I had intended to shoot and film, but living in the moment took over, so I merely brought out my camera. I did, however, manage to take a few snapshots, which will be up here soon enough, so stay tuned.

Then came my short trip back home to Macau for the New Year festivities. With just a bittersweet 4 days and no time to waste, all I wanted to do was spend time with my family and dear Penguin eating, catch up with the rest of the family, drinking, and being merry. Between that, Pierre and I did, however, manage to shoot once and show my love to Michael and 5Preview by way of this oversized bomber jacket-coat. Is that what this is called? I've no clue, but one thing I know is that this kept me warm and cozy throughout my stay. Gosh, how I missed winter.

Speaking of winter, Macau was followed by a short work trip to Jeju, essentially completing what I call my winter escape. I was expecting Jeju, being an island and all that, to be much colder than Macau. Well, from a temperature perspective, yes, it was a few degrees lower. But the wind was a different story. Add to that the strong heater that took over the entirety of the resort I was staying at, and all I needed was a light jacket after all. But anyway, I did get to use the leather jacket that I brought with me for at least one day, so it wasn't a complete waste.
