Any person who knows how packed my schedule already is could very well conclude that I am crazy for launching another blog — a photography blog, this time. But don’t label me that just yet. I actually consider this as a reward for myself. To finally be able to do what I love to do and actually get better at it.

Canon Philippines rocked the house as they welcomed the brand new month with a party for media people, held at Merk’s Bar in Makati. I’m sure no other digital brand party could top this one! Canon Philippine’s well loved President and CEO Mr. Ramon Arteficio gave away a host of SLRs, digital cameras, video recorders, printers, et al. Canon is one generous company! No wonder people are loyal to this brand.

Our son, Jed took his third unit test last Thursday and passed with flying colors– concluding our first quarter of this school year. 
He is now able to follow through the stories, instructions and all, his fine motor skills have improved significantly, too. We will officially start with the second quarter this coming Tuesday. Monday, being a non-working holiday.
“close your eyes” (this is what we always have him do to get him ready for the surprise)
It has been a while since we got him a real surprise. This time he totally did not see it coming. We got him a more durable RC. All his previous ones are now broken and dysfunctional. He so loves cars and there is nothing that will overwhelm him more than this. So we figured to get him something that he really wants, this time a more durable one. It helped too that it was 50% off from the time we last saw it.

After a while that the hubby and I were extra busy with church and ministry, today, we were finally able to spend some quality time with our son. Jeff is showing our son here some juggling exercises.
We have been observing our son, Jed and noticed that he keeps using his left foot more than his right whenever he kicks the ball. He writes using his right hand. Now I’m wondering if a toddler his age should still be ambidextrous. He just turned 4 a couple of months ago. Makes me think as well that maybe the reason he is having a hard time keeping the colors inside the line is because he is really left handed (?). This is something that I should research on very soon.

This is our son enjoying the sands of Boracay. It was really sweet to go back where the hubby and I honeymooned in 2001, now with this little tot in tow. Jed was fascinated with so much sand. Although we have been to other beaches before, none was prettier than Boracay. Read the rest of this entry »

A lot of people will agree with me when I say that the most endearing and appealing subject for photography are children. This is especially true when the child that you take pictures of is your own. Like this little guy, instance.
As a hands on mom from birth, I have seen my son’s different expressions. But it was only yesterday that I found out that his face is most expressive when he eats (exactly like his father’s). It fascinates me how my husband eats. I would often tell him that he eats with his eyes. You would have to see for yourself to understand what I mean. Now, I will not be surprised if all eyes will be on my dear hubs during the next food event we go to. He is very forgiving, so I know he won’t take that against me.
My son eats exactly the way his papa does. It’s so fun to discover this after being with him all his life. You’d think he does not like what he eats in these shots. On the contrary, after he cleaned everything on his plate, he jumped to mine and finished everything that I was not meaning to eat anymore. I was full and I did not exactly like the garlic mushroom burger I had over at Chef d’ Angelo’s yesterday. This little guy has a big appetite. He literally eats more than I do.

I am so lovin’ my new baby, a Nikon D40. After deliberating what I needed (the nature of my job requires me a decent facility) and studying the specifications of netbooks, particularly which are Intel Atom and got my laptop checked by a technician- I was convinced that we will have more use for a DSLR than an Intel Atom netbook. Who knows, I might just venture into stock photo selling of sorts, in the future. Besides, we will not just make use of this in our internet marketing business but especially in the ministry.

As much as I would like this to be wordless, I have to explain why this photo for my current Wordless Wednesday entry. I remember a photo of my dear sister with that very same smile, taken when she was around the same age as my Jed. Now I’m off to rummage for it from our ancestral “baul.”

We really made sure we celebrated through the holidays. Â Two days were to celebrate Papa’s 60th birthday and the rest were spent with our families: our own and church family.
some random photos from our simple family get together as we celebrated with papa as he turned 60.
The little guy had his hair trimmed again. It’s his third time with the barber’s and it looks like he’s really used to it already. Except for the time that he kept on playing with the trimmed hairs that fall on the trimming cape and the hairs went flying to his eyes. He stopped right then when he felt the sting. Â He has really warmed up to the barber’s procedure from the shaving to the trimming and the vacuuming.Â
random photos from yesterday’s youth and baptism services (I forgot to take pictures of the communion and the morning services)
And what could be more appropriate but top the celebration with the communion and baptism service. Both of which symbolize the very essence of the season. Baptism and the Lord’s supper reminds us about the Savior’s death, burial and resurrection. The elements used during Communion, the unleavened bread and wine, represent Jesus’ broken body and His shed blood. The baptism by immersion shows perfectly the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. It also is parallel to what happens to a believer when he accepts Christ as Lord and Savior as described in 2 Corinthians 5:17. The old life dies to sin, is buried and a new life in Christ begins.

It has been a while since I last joined the PhotoHunters.  Their theme for this week is warm.  For lack of finding  a better shot, I took a picture of the trusty stove top that cooks our food and heats left over ones.  We have long gotten rid of the nuke machine – to give way to a healthier lifestyle.  I’m not much of a photographer as the hubby is.  I want to learn all right, I just don’t have the diligence to.  Maybe when I got a hold of that dream D60. Happy photo hunting, everyone!

Jed is watching Madagascar 2 from the hubby’s mobile while munching on his favorite cream cheese sandwich for merienda as he waited for us to leave church.
Admittedly, a mobile cartoon movie can be very handy for parents who have toddlers. But as much as I allow this, I still limit his watching time whether from mobile or the television.
