Remember this weekend snapshot entry a few weeks back? Tada, that is the beadwork that I did. Nope I didn’t sew the gown nor the cocktail dress but I was the one who suggested the design, of course where else do I pick…internet! I also helped buy the fabric. I was also deeply touched by the appreciation of the Mom of the debutante who is the first cousin of Nelson. I don’t know but I am just happy doing small things like this. I want to be of help all the time and I always volunteer when it comes to such stuff. My MIL knows about this that’s why she always has me in mind whenever someone goes to her for help.

Sunday was spent watching Fashion Week again. We missed Saturday’s show though, but I’m glad that I made it to Sunday’s show. All the brands and designers were all awesome. I particularly liked that of Lyle Ibanez, man he’s good really. I want to wear his designs, very simple yet so chic. He’s like Marc Jacobs I think, well that is just my opinion. Michael Cinco on the other hand still rocks! All his gowns were well applauded. Magnificent beadworks too, oh so intricate. And the Bench show, my oh my, oh so yummmeeeehhh! See second photo, LOL.

Weee! I finally finished it. That’s what I did on the weekend. If not for Pet Society and Restaurant City I could have finished it in a day or two. Can you guess how many days it took me to finish it? I started doing it I think Tuesday of last week…so that’s like 5 days. My my, blame it on these two games I play over at Facebook. It’s addicting!

Gandang ganda ako nung nakita ko ito. Dali dali kong kinunan ng litrato, yun nga lang ang ginamit ko ay ang camera phone ko, pano kelangan ko pa mag swimming sa bag ko para mahanap ko ang P&S ko. Naranasan nyo na ba yun? Yung tipong excited kang kunan ng litrato ang napakagandang tanawin, tapos hindi mo madampot dampot ang camera mo dahil ito ay nagtatago sa laki ng bag mo? Hay naku, lesson learned, kelangan parati nakalabas ang camera para madaling madampot (madampot mo at madampot ng kawatan, LOL).

Ito ang peyborit kong parte sa Forbidden City, Beijing. Kakaiba talaga sya nung makita ko. Napakaganda ng hardin. Meron pa ngang portion ang hardin na meron tanim na maninipis na bamboo, bigla kong naalala ang Kungfu Panda. Alam ko nakunan ko ito ng litrato ngunit di ko na mahanap, baka napindot at nabura.
Nakakatuwang tignan ng mga bulaklak na ito. Nagkalat ang ganitong klaseng halaman sa mga lugar na aming napuntahan mapa Beijing or Shanghai man. Kung pede nga lang ako magtanim ng ganun klaseng bulaklak sa hardin ng aking Ina, gagawin ko. Instant favorite ko ang bulaklak na iyan. Tinanong ko sa tour guide kung ano ang tawag sa bulaklak na yan, ang tawag daw nila ay pink flower.

We went up to Tagaytay to have lunch on Good Friday. Good thing we made reservations at the restaurant, if not we would not have eaten on time because there was just too many people. Looks like each year, more and more people go out and have fun on Good Friday. I remember when I was a young girl, you seldom see people on the road. Good Friday is usually quiet, but now seems like everyone is having a great time including us.
I almost forgot, well actually I have forgotten about our Good Friday tradition with Cuz and her family. Good thing she reminded me that we had to meet at Starbucks at 9 pm. This is our 4th year already and I promised myself not to forget about it next year.
On Saturday, we went to watch Slumdog Millionaire. I love that movie and I think it really deserved all the awards they got. Cinematography was just awesome, music was good too. I just didn’t take photos of our Saturday and Sunday activities, but we were up and about during the weekend.

I was like them last Saturday…a spectator. It was fun watching the dragon boat competition at Baywalk. We were suppose to wake up at 6 in the morning to be at Baywalk by 7:30 to witness the first race of the day. But having slept quite late the night before, we were not able to do so, waking up at 6 that is. We left the house at around 8:30, good thing the race was still going on. We were able to catch about 20 groups competing with each other. It was a great experience for me having to watch the actual competition. I only get to watch the past competitions on telly.

Sapatos…sapatos…bakit nga ba napakarami kong sapatos? Hilig yata ito ng mga babae, ewan ko ba. Para din syang bag, di makontento sa iisa, kelangan if possible ka-match ng iyong sapatos, hhhmmm aminin! Aminado ako, madami akong sapatos, iba’t ibang kulay, pero madalas naka tsinelas lang naman ako at dahil sa hindi ako umaalis madalas ng bahay. Nasisira na nga ang suelas ng iba dahil nagiging marupok pala ito kapag di masyado nagagamit, kesehodang mamahalin pa sya.
And sapatos na iyan ay isang bling ng selpon. Madaling hulaan! Nabili ko yan nung kami ay nanood ng Cinderella kasama ng anak kong si Ish. Cute na cute talaga ako sa kanya kaya di ko napigilan bilhin.
Pasensya na kung sobrang dami ng litrato, ginanahan lang akong kumuha, although dapat kaninang hapon ko pa ito ginawa para mas maganda ang kinalabasan. Yan tuloy, kinailangan ko pa syang i-auto correct dahil medyo di maganda ang ilaw at mauga ang kamay ko dahil sa mga DIY stuff na ginagawa ko.

Ang cute di ba? Akalain mo bang singkwenta pesos lang ang presyo nyan! Nabili ko yan sa Divisoria, sa bangketa pa nga yata eh. Naging isa sa mga paborito kong alahas yan tuwing ako ay sumasayaw, uy hindi sa club ha, LOL. Belly dancing class ba. Minsan naman naisusuot ko yan pag meron kaming recital din. Sobrang gaan at hinding hindi mapupunit ang lobes ng tenga ko kahit napakalaki nyan.

I’ve witnessed a lot of wedding ceremonies and celebrations. Why you ask? My husband and I have been in the wedding industry for quite some time now. We have done a lot of weddings already, so we’ve witnessed different styles especially when it comes to the wedding reception. For one, wedding cameras are getting to be in. At first I was really wondering what those cameras were doing on top of the tables. I cannot help but notice it because it wasn’t the usual disposable cameras that you see. This one is really personalized. I love the idea, it’s cool! It’s the interaction among guests that spells fun. You can even include a table card with the instructions on how you want your photos taken or that of the festivities. I also love that fact that everyone who attended the wedding will have a photo on that memorable occasion. Sometimes we can’t help but miss out on some people especially when it comes to photos. Of course we want to know who attended this special day and only these photos can tell. Now I get the idea on why some couples have come up with this cool idea. Before I forget, let me mention that these custom cameras are very affordable. You can even get additional discount for bulk orders.

Tila paborito yata ito ng aking dalaginding kasi di nya tinapon sa basurahan. Kung sabagay, maganda at cute nga ang smiley paper bag na ito. Kung sakin binigay yan, tiyak itatago ko din ito.
O di ba? Ang galeng ng anak ko, may creativity tulad ng ina, hehe. Hindi itinapon ang native bag na ito, kundi pinakinabangan pa. O meron na naman smiley, peyborit nya yata ang smiley ah.
Bags for sale!!! Uy di ah, ang sarap nila panoorin, di ko kasi gaano nagagamit dahil bihira lang naman ako lumabas. Pero ewan ko ba kung bakit di matigil tigil ang pagbili ko ng bags, babae kasi siguro. Pero swear matagal nako di bumili at kung ako’y bibili, di na yung mamahalin kasi naka-imbak lang naman, sayang ang moolah.

Bulaklak : yan ang pinaka paborito kong subject…andami sa flickr account ko. Maswerte ako dahil sa yard lang ng Nanay ko ang daming litrato ko nang makukuha, in fact karamihan ng mga kuha ng bulaklak sa flickr account ko eh sa bahay ng Nanay ko. Nakakatuwang tignan ang mga bulaklak lalo na pag sabay sabay itong in full bloom. Di ko alam kung anong kulay ang una kong kuhanan. Sari saring posisyon na din ang aking naranasan para lang makakuha ng magandang anggulo.
Nakakatuwa ang bulaklak na ito, kakaiba ang kanyang itsura, ang ganda pa ng kulay. Di ko nga lang alam ang pangalan.
Aba parang na she loves me, she loves me not ang bulaklak na ito. Bakit nga ba nakulangan ng petals ito, sadya bang ganito o sinadya? Uy wala akong kinalaman dyan ha, basta nakita ko nalang na kulang yan.
Ang rosas bow! Parang ito yata ang universal flower ng mga lalaking nanliligaw. Parang lahat ng mga bulaklak na natanggap ko ay rosas, iba’t-ibang kulay nga lang. Uy dati yun ha, nung wala pa akong asawa, hehe nililinaw ko lang.

Ano ang pinagsimulan ng ganitong scenario? Alam nating lahat na ito ay nagsimula sa simpleng tipanan or date. Kung ilan, di natin alam. Ang alam ko yung sakin ay limitado lamang ang mga tipanan dahil sa sandali lang naman ako engaged, di man lang inabot ng isang taon, haha. Napakagandang isipin na ang tipanan na ito ay nauwi sa isang panghabang-buhay na pagsasama, eto baga ang pinaka final at ang nagsi-seal sa kanilang makailang beses na tipanan. Naniniwala ako na di dapat magtapos ang tipanan ng magsing-irog pagtapos makasal, ito ay dapat tuloy tuloy para masaya at romantiko ang buhay buhay.

Parang isa syang bulaklak na hugis puso…pero teka dahon ata ito ah. Oo dahon nga, pero ang nakakapagtaka bakit ito ay nagiging kulay puti? Hindi lahat ng dahon nya ay ganito, ako’y litong litong, ito ba talaga ay isa pang uri ng bulaklak or sya’y dahon. Ah ewan, eto alam ko pusong puso ang dating, yan ang susunod na litratong makikita nyo.
Dalawin at tignan nyo ang ibang lahok ng kapwa ko litratista…click nyo yung button after nito.

Saturday was spent in school again, it’s the 4th PTC. I didn’t like to go really but I have too. I needed to talk to the HS supervisor because of the college entrance review thing. I don’t like to enroll my child to the accredited review center of the school, but more than anything else I’d like to exercise my right as a Mom to choose which review center I’d like my kid to go to. What sucks is that my daughter has to enroll with the school’s reason that I signed the student-school agreement. It’s like I have a choice. But honestly I overlooked that portion, but then again I can’t do anything but sign since my child was already enrolled. I just feel a little bad that just because I can’t let my child join their review, I have to take him out from that school. Isn’t it unfair, in the first place that is not even part of the curriculum, moreso who is the school to decide on what review center is good for my child? Why are they imposing that everyone should undergo this college entrance review? Darn!
I love the hanging chinese lanterns I saw, there were some in the lobby too. Extended Chinese New Year celebration?
We attended a wedding on Sunday. I was one of the principal sponsors. They are the 3rd couple that I stood as “Ninang”. The bride is the daughter of my husband’s trainor in cycling. It was a simple ceremony, and I was deeply touched by the marriage vow of the groom, I was actually short of crying.
That was our weekend…it was fun…hope you had a fun weekend too.

Kinalakihan ko na ang curly tops na yan (iniba na pala nila ang packaging, wala ng papel). Naalala ko nung maliit pa kami, yan parati ang prize ng Nanay ko kapag ka naubos namin ang aming pagkain, o di kaya pag kumain kami ng gulay. Meron pang isang tsokolate na peyborit ko din, pero parang wala na yatang tinda. Eto yung Serg’s Chocolate. Tatlong brands ang premyo naming magkakapatid, isama na natin ang Van Houten. Ina-alternate ng bigay ng aming Nanay yan. Kaya kahit na masuka suka na ako ubusin ang gulay, talagang pinipilit ko dahil lang sa mga tsokolate na iyan.
Ok, fast forward na tayo. Yan ngayon ang isa sa mga peyborit ko, and coated kisses at siempre ang walang kamatayang M&Ms. Kahit na magkasugat sugat ang aking dila, di ko yan titigilan hanggang di nauubos.
Ang aking paborito, then and now.

Ang paboritong headband ng aking dalaginding at ang paborito kong beaded necklace.
Mga bato sa iba’t-ibang shapes at color lila.
Ang Lila ay isa sa mga poborito kong kulay (Violet is one of my favorite colors). Medyo di ako nahirapan sa tema ngayong linggo ngunit nakalimutan kong sumilip kung ano ang tema para sa linggong ito, kaya heto medyo huli ang entry ko (I didn’t find theme hard, but I forgot to take a peek at the website to know the current theme, thus I’m kinda late in posting). Nahilig ako sa mga beads kaya yan ang napili kong kunan. Nagkaron pa nga ako ng bisnes nung araw at nakabenta naman ako ng madami, umabot pa hanggang US ang aking beadworks (I was once into beads in fact I was able to put up a small business selling my beadworks, sales even reached the US).

Ang ganda di ba? (Isn’t it a beauty?) Kuha yan sa garden ng aking Nanay, napakadami nyang bulaklak dun, sari saring kulay, pero napansin ko parang dalawa lamang ang kulay kahel. (That was from my Mom’s garden. She has a lot of flowers in different colors. But there were only 2 orange flowers). Nakaka catch sya ng attention dahil sa kakaibang kulay na naiiba. (It will never fail to catch your attention because of it’s color) Sa garden ng aking ina ako nagsawa kumuha ng mga litrato ng sari saring bulaklak at sari saring tuwad na din ang naranasan ko para lang makakuha ng magandang anggulo…ah eh maganda nga ba? (parang ang hirap isalin sa english, wag na nga)
Posted by girlie on January 15, 2009
Heehee, hindi ako ganado kumuha ng litrato ano? Basta bigla ko nalang naisip ang mga bagay na yan na kulay asul. Habang nasa mood pa, kelangan click ng click.

Tamang tama pala ang craving ko ng noodles kahapon. Niyaya ko si N para kumain kami ng noodles dun. Natuwa ako sa kulay ng bowl, kaya kinunan ko ng litrato. Ang ganda against the epol green tabletop. Pero parang di lumabas na maganda sa litrato, hmp di bale na nga, nakakatamad kaya magbibit ng malaking camera. Nagpapasalamat naman ako sa aking esposo dahil parati nya akong pinagbibigyan kung ano man ang mga cravings na naiisip ko. Mabuti nalang madaming kainan sa paligid namin, di na kelangan mag drive ng malayo (basta provided karamihan ng cravings eh chinese food ha).

Sayang walang live na karoling, pano ba naman walang gustong mangaroling sa bahay namin, kasi di sila maririnig at di rin mapapansin. Hindi concentration camp ang bahay namin ha, pero sa iilang butas lamang makikita kung anong nangyayari sa labas. Haha mala concentration camp yata. Kaya eto, yang mga anghel na decor na lamang ang aking lahok, itsurang kumakanta naman sila ng christmas carols di ba?
Makakakuha na sana ako ng litrato ng mga batang nangangaroling sa mall na iyan (Shangri-la Mall), pero eksakto naman ng makababa ako sa unang palapag, sya naman nagpalakpakan ang mga tao, exit na ang mga bata, sayang, sana tinakbo ko nalang pababa kesa sumakay ako ng escalator. Nasa 5th floor nga pala ako nung narinig kong may nagkakanta ng christmas carols.

What brand of compact flash do you use? Is it reliable? I heard that there are certain brands that give you error. Proof to that are my husband’s friends who come to us and have lost data retrieved. It’s a good thing the the brand of compact flash we use is very reliable. I think we only used the software to retrieve only once and it was due to human error. It’s very important to have a reliable compact flash brand. I was also surprised that it now comes in 32GB. The last time we bought it was only 8GB, not a long time ago. I’d love to own a 32GB or even a 64GB compact flash. Now this is what you call super unlimited photos without changing compact flash every now and then.

Oh my goodness! I am addicted really. I bought around 8 pots of different flowers in different colors so that I can take photos of it and upload in my Flickr. Whenever I go to Ace Hardware, I would buy plastic pots and different varieties of flower seeds. I’ve asked my brother and brother-in-law to sow it for me since they have better conditions there (sun and soil). I will just get it from them when it starts to produce some buds. Haha I am such a brat. I’ve placed it in our terrace, and you can see me there every morning watering and talking to them. I have asked our driver to make me some ledge so I can put the pots there for everyone to see. I really love the different colors. Once the ledge is done, I will take photos of the flowers (wide angle). For now it’s just sitting on the floor with only us appreciating it.

This is partly the reason why I am having backpains right now. I was uberly excited using the lensbaby and wanting to perfect each and every shot. If you are familiar with the lensbaby, it’s not like the ordinary lens where you don’t do anything but point it to your subject. Well you still point the lensbaby to your subject but you do a little adjustment like bending and tilting for whatever effect you want on the subject. It’s very hard to hit the sweet spot I tell you. It not only breaks my backbones but blurs my eyes as well. Maybe it would take a while before I use that lens again.

If not for Thess, I wouldn’t have any interest in using this lensbaby. In one of our chat conversations, she asked me if I’m familiar with lensbaby. I told her that the hubs has one, but I haven’t had the interest to use it (it’s just lying in the cabinet collecting dust, haha you can see it in the pic). I thought it was hard to use, indeed it was when I tried using it the other day. It’s a bit tricky. I took a couple of shots ending up disappointed coz I couldn’t get it right. I was sooo used to macro shots, and even with this lensbaby, I want it done the macro way too which is impossible. I think I need to buy a macrokit so I won’t feel frustrated. I already have a couple of shots posted in my flickr account, plus the pictures you see (flag and ring) in my LP entry. I love using it and I can’t wait to take pictures of flowers in my Mom’s garden.
Remember this weekend snapshot entry a few weeks back? Tada, that is the beadwork that I did. Nope I didn’t sew the gown nor the cocktail dress but I was the one who suggested the design, of course where else do I pick…internet! I also helped buy the fabric.
