Spring Scents

Mabuhay!

I am grateful to be working in an environment that is cold (read: airconditioned studio).
In fact, I have to bring a jacket or wear boots to keep me warm — very Fall/Winter lang ang peg.
So far, all my shoots have been indoors, but I am dreading the next campaign I'm working on as it will be on location. In a farm. No trees. Just a field. I'm melting. @.@

I wish summer in Manila is just like the way perfume companies describe it in their press kits: "Refreshing sunny summer days!" or "Lose yourself in a field of flowers?" and my favorite, "Evoke the freshness and spontaneity of a springtime fancy!" OK, wherever those places are, please feel free to take me there. Now na.

Anyway, I have to admit that with a few spritz of my fave scent, it helped me feel refreshed. Just a bit. Teeny tiny.

In the end, looking at my perfume bottles make me happy! Spring joy!
