spreading love!

One of my best buddies (since high school days) has bloomed into a very fine photographer. A very brave spirit, always wanting to try and pursue her passion - she shares to the world what she sees as something interesting. May they be very personal or the very subtle way of saying "not quite right but here it is".

Two months ago, she started with her Project 365 as a push to go reach for her new found love. As a result? Experimentations and eye-candy pictures. See for yourself.

After a quick afternoon chat, she shares me a new (well it's an old one really) photoshop trick! I can't believe I'm missing this! Thanks fyns for showing me how to do vintage looking photographs. It's the secret of the curves! I usually just go with Levels and Colour Balance and Hue and Saturation. Open a favourite photo, Cmd M (Curves) and adjust the RGB's... tada! There you have it! Here's my own splash of the vintage love...

When the world sleeps (in our respective time zones) loneliness creeps in. Looking at our dreaming babies and smelling them endlessly, I miss my big baby whale. I miss talking senseless and creative ideas, laughing at our bloopers, looking forward to being together again. 

I know you miss us even more. 

Don't worry hon, hapit na jud :) Mishomishoo...

my little boss.

He still doesn't want to go to sleep, wants another round of milk and wants a back scratch. He doesn't want me to lie on the bed because he wants to lie down on my lap. He wakes his littlle brother because of his wailing for milk like there's no way he's going to sleep without another round of it. He wants my blanket and calls it a "tapis", requests for his small toy car so he can hold it to sleep. He's almost by a tiny bit off to dreamland... but he heard Dadilo's car had arrived. Now he wants to go out and his sleepiness is nowhere to be found.

He's up, laughing heartily while playing Zuma with his Momila...

happy ME day!

I celebrated my day with my bestfriend, my woman, my kangolkid, Totingbats. Momi and Dadi agreed I should have my "me-day" on my birthday. Read : yes, we will take care of the babies while you go have fun. 

First stop, ukay-ukay adventure! Phew! Great kicks, wonder finds. Way better when you're doing it with your best friend.

With a sunblock, a panic-bought bikini, zero towels we head out to the beach! What can we do? The dagat is calling us. You know my best friend, she's a water creature so it's like it's her day too. I'm glad I gave you that tan you are craving for so long.

And the best-est part of my happy ME day, for the first time in my whole 29 years here on earth, I went snorkeling and kayaking! Whohoooooo! I can't wait to do it again :) 

thank you momi!

Surprise surprise!

 

I got these adorable fabrics from my mother for my birthday. Sweet sweet momi, she knows me too well. Thank you momi! Now that I'm all set, I need to bring my little dream of tahi-tahi come true.
