Life is a picnik.

Hi. My name is Nikki. Journalism graduate, and now struggling through law school. This Tumblr is more for self expression than anything else. Some photos and works are mine. Others are reblogs.

My gorgeous weekend. Part of me didn’t want to go back to Manila, especially since doing so required a seven-hour bus ride. I’d pick the ocean over thesis any day. View high resolution

Hopped on the back of my dad’s motorcycle to go see the sunset one afternoon. The locals were hauling in their nets from the sea. It was lovely. Sunsets always calm me, they’re so beautiful. View high resolution

Batchoy. A must-try for tourists and a well-loved meal for locals of Iloilo. My favorite thing to do pair it with pandesal or puto. A boiled egg is always delightful too. View high resolution

Boodle Fight

A group meal where different kinds of fish, huge prawns, pork, lechon, rice and vegetables are laid out on a long, long table covered with banana leaves, and everyone sits down at the table and eats with their hands. 

We like to do this at family reunions in the province. Then when we’re done we have a food fight with the cake.

They say you haven’t really experienced Manila until you get caught in one of its traffic jams. For a lot of foreigners, this is extremely frustrating. For a lot of Filipinos, it’s every day on EDSA. (And a lot of other main roads.) View high resolution
