Met a new friend today. Emily, a University student from Germany has been traveling around Southeast Asia to study the different cultures, traditions and everyday lives of the people living in our side of the globe. On that account, she gave me this Single Use Camera hoping to catch a sneak peak into my life and probably see what I see, and how I see it.

It's interesting how she was telling me she was able to delve into the daily lives of, say, a monk in Cambodia doing his everyday food collection and temple visits or a tuktuk driver in Thailand on his excursion of taking people to places. Witnessing how different people are but never unfazed about the individuality of each culture. That no matter how simple a life can be, there are different ways to make each second count.

She mentioned of being able to see how a society and a culture make and mold a country, and what makes that country unique.

With that, I'm honored, you could say, of being asked to participate in such a wide-scale project (and I don't take the prettiest pictures nor do I know how to capture the perfect moment or angle for that matter). But, I want her to also see how beautiful our country is and the Filipino people are.

After all, it's more fun in the Philippines, right?

And here's the project. A website made to create a cartographical illustration of a certain country not by showing its shape (or color), but by looking deeper into its residents. Check the website out below!
