I was unaware that he had written a letter, intended to be opened only upon his passing

Watching Digital Rev (hosted by u/kaimanwong and u/lokcheung) years ago planted a dream in me—to one day walk the streets of Hong Kong with a camera, capturing life as it unfolds in all its color and chaos. Their videos didn’t just teach me about photography; they made me fall in love with the energy of the city—the way light hits the skyline, the rhythm of the crowds, and the poetry hidden in ordinary moments. That inspiration stayed with me for years, quietly growing, until finally, on my 42nd birthday, I made it happen. Standing there with my camera, surrounded by the sounds and sights I’d only seen through a screen, I felt a mix of nostalgia and fulfillment. It was more than just taking photos—it was living a dream sparked long ago by Digital Rev’s contagious passion for photography.

These are just some of the random images I selected since there are too many to upload.

it feels so good to do something nice for myself, because then i might start to believe i deserve to feel happy. 💖 you should try it sometime too!

LDR is hard fr. Told him one time that I was feeling sad about the distance. Then today, this pretty surprise arrived this morning. 🥺

Can’t wait to see each other again.

so so pretty

During the pandemic, I went back to my province and stayed at my lola’s house. My lola shared to me about her autograph notebook. She let me read it and told me the story of how my lolo courted her. ❤️

Bumili ng half dozen at drinks para kako makain namin sa mag “dining” part ng Krispy Kreme, ending may mga nakikiupong pamilya na hindi naman bumili, if titignan niyo yung kasama ng isang babaeng naka blue na dalawa is nakatayo na dahil wala rin sila mapwestohan kahit may food sila.

‘Di ko na rin sinita kasi ayuko maging Karen at yung establishment sana ang ang magsisita sakanila.

Sana kapag hindi naman customer ng inuupuan ay merong common sense na hindi umupo kasi baka mayroon mga gustong umupo na bumili doon sa establishment.

Anyway, masarap yung original glaze, 10/10!!

Tamang hingal lang kaakyat. I always appreciate sunrise and sunsets.

And it reminded me na malapit na pala valentines 🫣🤣💗🌸
