Filling Station Bar And Cafe

Get a feel of RIVERDALE in this 50's type diner located at 5012 P. Burgos Street in Makati.

To those who are IG feed conscious and who has Instagram addiction, this is the perfect place for you. The area is filled with vintage posters, old types of vinyl, neon signs, neon lights, life-size statues, car parts, gasoline station signs, etc. that makes it a certified Instagram worthy restaurant.

The diner is open 24 hours, but there is a part of the place that is only open until 3AM.

They serve a wide variety in their menu choices. You can order a single serving, and they also have food for sharing. We ordered pasta, milkshake, and other desserts. The food was, and the meal is big that’s why it’s a bit pricey, but for me, it was worth it because we got to enjoy the beautiful and chill vibe and atmosphere of the place.

You can take photos as much as you want, but they only allow mobile phones. Professional cameras are not allowed.

All the photos are taken using my iPhone 6s, and as promised I will be sharing how I edited my photos using Adobe Lightroom. The settings will be different depends on your picture, but I’ve used a Brandon Woelfel inspired preset. You can also check my blog tutorial on how I edit night photos using my phone here.

Today we’re talking something I’m definitely passionate about and well-versed in: Instagram.

I know for a fact that I waste too much time on that app, so balance is definitely a goal for this year. But social media can also have really awesome impact!! I have met all of my best friends through this app…seriously. The first time I reached out to my best friend was some reply to her story saying that she looked super cute. I eventually worked up the courage to DM her and ask if she wanted to hang out some time…and here we are!

I met my other very best friend and future bridesmaid on Instagram as well. If you haven’t already read my “Meeting My Internet Friend IRL!” blog post here, you definitely should! The Internet, and social media especially, has opened me up to a world of possibilites, places, ideas, people, you name it! So I’m eternally greatful for that. ♡

As soon as I started my Instagram, I knew I wanted to be “aesthetic.” Yes, my account was private, and yes, my only followers at the time were my parents. My first post had a whopping 12 likes – including good ‘ol Mom & Dad, my aunts and uncles, a few close friends and even my friend’s mom. #therealones

I was always so focused on my “look,” growing up in the age of influencers, watching YouTubers do brand collabs and take trips to Bali. I knew I wanted my life to be like that. Which, granted, is a dream that I’m pretty sure every girl from 10 to 20 has wanted.

But seriously speaking, through Instagram I also began to develop my passion and figure out my career path. I’m no influencer yet – believe me, I know! But Instagram has become my creative playzone, a place to share about myself and my life and have a good time with it. Kinda like this blog!

I love spending time taking & editing photos and videos, figuring out color schemes and design along the way. One of the coolest things I think, is scrolling through somone’s Instagram and seeing how their theme and style has changed throughout the years! You can definitely see lots of different looks on mine…

LIGHTROOM

I’ve used a lot of photo editing apps and tricks throughout the years, but I’m currently hooked on Lightroom Mobile. As the beginner noobie I was when I switched from VSCO I was like what…the heck. What am I supposed to do with all these buttons?! And no filters!?

Turns out Lightroom is super easy to use, and filters here are called “presets.” I have finally curated my own preset that I’m pretty dang happy about (it only took me forever), but there are literally a million availble to purchase and some even for free.

Since I’m a cheapskate I’m obvi going to talk all about the free stuff today! So, when I started using Lightroom, I started with this free preset from Tara Kellie Smith.

my feed with the free Tara Kellie preset

Not only did I love it, it was free, and downloading it and accessing it turned out to be a piece of cake. I’ll leave a link to her video about it here, she goes step-by-step through the process and the link for the preset is in the description!

When I wanted to switch it up a bit, I started looking around on YouTube for free presets or free editing tutorials. I found this AMAZING goldmine of a playlist that I definitely recommend you check out! It’s got tons of presets for almost any influencer you could want: Aspyn Ovard, Jaci Marie Smith, Jess Conte, Marla Catherine, Zoelaz, and Brandon Woelfel, just to name a few. 😉 I’m not kidding, this playlist literally has over 100 videos on it. It also has lots of general presets for different themes and color schemes as well!

The way to maintain a cohesive Instagram feed is to edit all your photos similarly. You can use the same preset on every photo, just keep in mine that it may need to be tweaked a little bit depending on what the light level is, colors, etc.

PICSART

I love bringing my own creative elements into the picture (pun intended!) and playing around with different techniques. My favorite app to do this on by far is PicsArt.

It’s had its ups and downs for sure, but it’s a free app and has lots of amazing capabilities. In the past I used it when I went through my “doodle” stages and wanted to add drawings to my photos. Lately I have been using it for the “sticker” and “collage” options.

Having taken a couple of photography and design classes in high school, I got really used to Photoshop and Illustrator and loved them. Upon graduating, however, I was not willing to pay the hefty price tag just yet. PicsArt is the only app I’ve found so far that has so many Photoshop-like features yet is completely free!

So, when doodling on a photo I simply opt to go with the “draw” option. When making collages, I’ll pick the “freeform” option and select usually the max amount of photos allowed.

Then comes the really fun part. The “sticker” button essentially is a cut-and-paste selection type of tool. Take a photo of yourself for example, and you can completely cut out the background. PicsArt even has some pretty decent facial recognition, which comes in handy when doing portraits!

a couple of collages I have made, all on PicsArt. I simply gathered photos and tumblr posts/quotes from Pinterest and cropped and arranged as needed!

There are also thousands of stickers added by other people into the app that you can use for free, as well. You can search anything, from “tumblr” to “aesthetic” to whatever color scheme you’re going for. So get out there and spruce up your feed!

PHONTO

If you love creating Instagram stories, iPhone lockscreen quotes, or just tasteful memes, I highly recommend Phonto. It’s a super basic app that lets you put text on your photos. Free and simple, it has everything you need. You can even download fonts off the Internet and add them to the app super easily. I have my own growing library of fonts of all kinds.

UNUM

UNUM is a fantastic app if you really want to plan out how your feed is going to look or even schedule Instagram posts. I mostly just use it to see how a certain photo will match up with the rest of my feed before posting, but you can also set up your caption and hashtags and post directly through the app!

UNFOLD

Unfold is the app you’ve probably seen influencers use but never knew what it was. With Unfold, you can create really gorgeous little setups of photos, videos, and text for your Instagram stories. I love to do it especially when I have story posts to make about my blog and blog posts.

————————————————————————————————————————–

And those are pretty much all my photo editing tips & tricks! Everything I talked about is 100% free to get started with. I don’t use all of these apps on a daily basis, but they’re super helpful from time to time. I hope you enjoyed these post and found it super helpful, till next time, cheers!
