i sorta had the mojo to scrap... :D wish i could like spend more time doing this. i like sunday mornings :) i get to do something in between.. and today, i decided to use miss mint's kindergarten crafts coordinated kit (www.peppermintcreative.com) and scrap away :D
on we went to la union last oct 31st up until the 2nd of november for our yearly family reunion at la union. my hubby's clan gets together during this time of the year and it's also a nice break for the family to enjoy the beach. :)
daddy came in just before sunset and played with tristan and tiff :)
the sunset was so lovely.. never seen anything like it! the hues of the sky were so perfect. 
really so beautiful... God painted a masterpiece that afternoon :)
the following day, we went up at around 6:30am and basked in the morning sun.. of course i was still left taking photos :| not that i didn't want to swim.. twas more like that time of the month.. :|
and if you still aren't tired of sunsets, this was the sunset last saturday afternoon :) i really love how the colors blend together!
went back to manila sunday evening :) now that was really relaxing! we're soo excited for April next year.. i promise to myself that i'd go to the beach more often. who cares about getting a tan, i love the water and the sand on my feet! :D
ugh, hubby and i were watching hbo last sunday and it was al gore doing some heavy preaching on something. i wasn't interested at first but when he started talking more about global warming, man, i just started to freak out!
see for yourself.. www.climatecrisis.net!
an excerpt -
If the warming continues, we can expect catastrophic consequences.
> Deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years -- to 300,000 people a year.
> Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet with the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and Antarctica, devastating coastal areas worldwide.
> Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense.
> Droughts and wildfires will occur more often.
> The Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2050.
> More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.
don't you just love to be away for a couple of days, be carefree and not be responsible for anything except yourself? selfish as it may sound (haha), i really had a grand time being in singapore with my buddies oly, omeng and tania. metrophoto had actually two e-sessions there, but i was on leave as a photographer, and so oly and omeng pretty much had to work for two days hehehe :P
we had coffee and a couple of crazy stories in TCC - the coffee connoiseur along orchard. i love that this coffee shop is open 24 hours! :) 
and when evening came, we went back with the guys for a metrophoto group hug (or group photo) with singapore's beautiful view of the esplanade and the merlion. i love that i get to do a couple of long exposure shots too! :) 
on our way back to the hotel, we had to make use of nokia's ads in one of the mrt stops and do a couple of photos. you can just imagine what a nuisance we were to the commuters. haha! good thing it was kind of late and we had plenty of time to play with. i love how singapore is so photographer friendly! 
just posting some crazy collages of what we did last saturday :-) another week coming... have a blessed one! :-D
I've always loved babies. Call them babies, peanuts, sweatpeas, little people. I adore them all :) That's why I had a superb time shooting today's project. Baby Magazine will be coming out this October with a feature on kiddie parties - Martha Stewart style. As a mom of two kids, I totally love the idea, the concept. I mean, you don't necessarily have to spend loads of bucks for your child's party. You can spark up your child's creativity and pull in a family activity to prepare for party decors, sweets, goodies and other party favors. It's also like steering away from the usual cartoon character themes we always see at parties. It's like you're hitting two birds with one stone - spending quality family time and at the same time, prepare a unique but fun concept for a kid's party that your family can conceptualize! :)
She was looking all nice and dandy in her mint green blouse; with her was Nicole who awesomely crafted the party decors :-) Diana, how can you still look fresh when we're all sticky and sweaty?! Haha :-) 
Yummy party goodies! :-D I felt really tempted to munch on these colorful treats. Haha!
The children were just so fun to be with! They were calling me Teacher Rache (hey, that sounds nice... maybe I can teach too? Haha!). Here's Raffie, Regina and Mari being sweet looking wackos in front of the camera. So adorable! :-) Oh and another shot of Mikey right below.
Regina was concentrating on cutting this piece of paper that she was going to stick on one the birthday banner. 
And here's Ms. Diana Uichanco, helping out the kids with the party decors :-) 
I thought the kids were already tired after shooting for almost two hours. But I was wrong! They still had energy to pick on me with their party horn blowers. Hahaha! They all ganged up behind my back and blew their horn blowers all at the same time. Lol! I had to twist ala contortionist to get this photo. Lol! :-D
There ya have it :-) Thanks so much, Ms. Diana and Baby Magazine! We had pure fun :-) Excited to see the photos when they come out in your October issue :-) All the best!
came from boracay last week to attend the first dell phils partner conference at discovery shores. it was actually a pleasant trip going to the island. we took pal express, uy, hindi delayed ang flight :D
here's me and my roomie, shiela. thrilled! hehe!
after appreciating our room, we had about two hours to loiter around station one. hehe. so we walked from discovery shores to station 2 .. bought some shakes at jonas then went to d'mall. hehe! it was kinda gloomy that afternoon and the skies weren't all that bright.. perfect time to walk :) 
we left boracay on the third day (bitin!) .. i'm happy though that shiela and i got to swim a couple of hours in the morning the day we flew back home. yes, nognog ako. thanks to my pride for not putting on sunblock. haha. now my forehead is chipping off!! yakk!
