Escaped the nine to five.


ESCAPED THE NINE TO FIVE


Well it's never really a nine to five job in the hotel world nor does it suck when you work on holidays. I had just resigned from my job precisely 5 days ago and today was when I finally completed the necessary formalities. Following my last post after 2 years, a lot of things have happened. After completing my studies in Switzerland, I made way through southern Europe followed by Iceland then crossed to the east coast of America towards the west directing myself home in the Philippines.

Before reaching the finish line, I performed as a duty manager of a large 5-star hotel in the heart of the metro and after a year and a half, here I am now; a millennial taking his shot in online business with a large motivation of exploring the islands in the homeland or spots in South East Asia. 

In the next coming days, I will be heading over to Bali, Indonesia for the first time but hopefully it wouldn't take 2 years before I start adding up content on my page.

Thank you.

Apres-midi / Afternoon

Image
Ever since I was younger, every time I get the chance to sleep in the afternoon, I do. In Paris, the sun does not set until 10 in the evening because it's summer. I slept until 4 in the afternoon before I headed out to see some sights. It's now 9 in the evening and while writing this post, I can see the sunset outside my window. I took a photo of it and posted it at the end of this entry. I did not make the tourist sights as my main subject in most of my photos today because I believe that details are more important. I want something that tells a story. This is something you commonly see in luxury brand campaigns. I think having the main tourist sights come off as discreet makes it better. Finding inspiration in the different rues is what amazed me this afternoon as well. Some of the art galleries that offer minimalism and contemporary art are found in the Saint-Germain area. The district where I am currently staying in. I am quite inspired to create a gallery so

Sion, Switzerland

It's been a week since I moved to the alps of Switzerland. There has been a lot of changes that happened to me, and I still am in the process of adjusting to this new lifestyle. Gone are the days when I could visit a mall at any time, or grab take out food at any hour, or just get lost in the tiny streets of a big city. It makes me happy to leave my village at times and explore new places. I just can't stay in one place for a long period of time.  What do you think about the Swiss Alps? Of course, Snow. Well at this moment, it's summer therefore snow is nonexistent in most places. Today, I took a trip to Sion which is a couple of kilometres away from where I live. Here are some photos that I took of Switzerland during the summer.  Climbed up the chateaux Tourbillon, which was built in the 14th century. When you get to the top, the beauty of nature will shut yourself silent.  Apparently, the canton of Valais in Switzerland produces a lo

Bali Video

If there are two places in the world aside from my home country, that I love, it would be Paris and Bali. The lush greenery, friendly people, and the overall energy really caught me. The affordability of the place too. As a citizen of a South East Asian nation, cost of living is fairly low compared to EU counterparts and spending for basic necessities in Bali is similar to the Philippines. While I was there, I felt as if time had moved at a pace that suited me. I woke up at a decent time of 9 in the morning, took my breakfast, read some news and briefed myself with pinned areas to see without any timeline. Along my exploration, I was able to capture some moments that I'd like to show you all. Here is a video that I created:
