Project 365: #10 Tong-its

My husband's family is almost complete. His mom and sister is with us tonight. This is just one of their bonding moments.

Project 365: #9 Bookworm

He's nine years old and he's into Mitch Albom and Paolo Coelho. This is aside from the fact that he also reads the Harry Potter series, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and Bob Ong's books. I'm not a bookworm. He got it probably from his dad.

Project 365: #8 Work-at-Starbucks

I woke up today to the sound of my phone ringing. It was the bus driver much to my surprise. So I woke up late, probably slept through the alarm, and ended up bringing my son to school myself. From his school, I went straight to Starbucks to finish my online tasks. It's either I should add one more alarm clock in the house or I should stop sleeping late at night.

Project 365: #7 Trying out something new.

I'm trying out a new set of shampoo and conditioner. I don't know if it can bring wonders to my hair. My hair's a little dry and dull nowadays. And I'm having hairfall problems, too.

Project 365: #6 Fighting the Fat

I'm now working out daily via Wii Fit Plus and I make it a point to burn this much calories a day. I do this by doing the advanced aerobic games yoga, and strength training exercises. It takes 3 hours for me to reach this goal but it's ok since I see the results already. This 2010, I'm fighting the fat the healthier way. No more pills and crash diets.

Project 365: #5 Missing Bicol Already

I still have the back to work blues. But I tried to humor myself by taking a shot of some of the goodies we brought back from Bicol. They are part of the first set of photos I captured using my DIY lightbox.

Project 365: #4 I Love You, Goodbye

I am not buying frameless glasses anymore. I guess, this kind is not the best for accident prone people like me. It will cost me 500 bucks to replace that broken lens. And to think that I just bought that pair last October! Once I get this pair repaired, I'm gonna keep it and use it occasionally.

Project 365: #3 Reality Bites

It's officially the last day of the long Christmas holiday season. It's so hard to get back to the daily grind once you've taken a much needed break from work, don't you think?

Project 365: #2 Homeward Bound

I am not really a fan of flying. My ears always hurt when I ride a plane especially when my nose is clogged. Just like what happened on our latest plane travel. I usually try to sleep during the entire trip. But the skies last this afternoon was a welcome sight that I forgot all about my earache. The clouds looked a lot like rolls of fluffy cotton.

Project 365: #1 Water Baby

This is Gabby, our baby niece who arrived from the UK days after Christmas. This was taken during our New Year's Day celebration at the Camsur Watersports Complex in Pili, Camarines Sur. She's just a year and half and was understandably scared of the water in the swimming pool.

We let Gabby walk by the shores of the man-made lagoon where wakeboarders do their stunts. She was afraid of dipping her feet in the water at first. But after a few minutes, she started to enjoy throwing the small pebbles into the water.

Trapped

I took a shot of this small butterfly hovering inside my son's bedroom while I was working the other day. I tried so hard to take as shot of it with its wings flapped open but I failed to do so. I let it out after this shot.

Old and New

This tree behind my boy is the Blanco Tree. It's the tree where well-known artist Jose "Pitok" Blanco played as a young boy. The tree has also served as the navigational guide of fishermen fishing in the shores of Laguna Lake. It's the perfect contrast to my boy who's clearly born in the digital era. See how many gadgets he has?

Shadow

Clouds?

Shot by my husband one morning. Can you guess what this is?

Dream Catcher?

Not! Although it looks like one from this angle. It is actually a shell wind chime hanging at the middle of our veranda's trellis.

Bright Lights

Caught this sight of the ceiling at Burgoo, Greenhills branch.

Photohunt: Walking

We watched a Dolphin Show last weekend at Ocean Adventure, Subic, Zambales. This, apparently, is how dolphins walk on water. Aren't they great?

Camera Critters: Time To Buy My Dog a Bone!

I am a bad master but my dog is a naughty one. He played around with the screwdriver while the carpenter was doing some woodwork in the garage. Don't worry, he wasn't able to gobble it up. Just a lot of drool here and there.

Holy Week 2009

The family spent the Lenten season with my husband's side of the family in Naga City. We brought along my youngest brother so he can experience how Holy Week is spent in Bicol. These shots were taken during the Good Friday procession that we were able to witness in downtown Naga City. This procession is quite different from the usual Good Friday processions I have seen because almost all of the highlights of Jesus' passion and death were showcased in the procession.


Judas' Kiss


Jesus and Pontius Pilate


St. Veronica with the cloth she wiped on Jesus' face


The Way to Calvary
