New loves and then some...

I have clearly been neglecting my sites and I'm not particularly proud of that. It's always been a struggle for me to efficiently manage my "free" time. Well, the truth is... when I enjoy my work, I tend to get carried away by a tsunami of frantic work-related utilization of my supposedly free time. That's what happens... and is still obviously happening with me. :D

Anyhow, I finally decided to pinch some time for personal things and so here I am. I guess, it's sorta good news that I'm not online as much as I used to. It clearly means I have some semblance of a social life. Haha. But for those who are wondering what "loves" I'm referring to... here they are... some new "eye candies" for my inner shutterbug... and fellow photography aficionados out there, of course.

If you're a friend, feel free to comment. If you're not, I don't care much what you think... I love these new shots I've gathered in my photo chest these past few months... despite the blurriness in some and the lack of technique in most. :P

some chrysanthemums I spied at a hotel where I last "non-partied"

new beauties for my feet... literally had hearts in my eyes when I spied them

new mates that make work days seem like delightful ala vanilla ice cream treats :P

another lousy self-portrait... but I happen to love the dress, so...

and some unwitting victims... hehehe

I love photography still... *sigh*

Hope to post more soon! ^_^

Getting sunburned in Daanbantayan

I went to this nice resort in Daanbantayan for a weekend trip last month. And no, this is not the island, this is still within the main island of Cebu. Ley and I took the bus. This is not the bus terminal. I took this at one of the pit stops. :P It's been so long since I took the public bus somewhere that I forgot you buy the ticket while the bus is already running, not before you board the bus. Yup, I was a bit of an ignoramus that day, or a really amnesiac person. Haha. Anyways, while we were on the bus, I fell asleep. And since I took the window seat, this was what happened... And it hurt like the dickens!!! :( But the place was lovely. We arrived at the resort around noon. The place was lovely and I couldn't stop taking pictures. :D ... even when the weather got a tad gloomy late that afternoon. When dusk came, I was excited to take some twilight shots, which are among my faves. The next day, Ley and I took more...

Prettily sliced apples, anyone?

A friend just came back from her recent Singapore trip. I was a tad jealous because I couldn't afford to go myself but she brought me something from the Merlion City that I couldn't resist grinning when I heard about it. It's a trinket I've been wanting to have ever since I spied one in IKEA SG a few months ago. Yup, I'm a collector of nonsensical--but cute--trinkets. I was whopping when she sent me a message that she was able to find me one. It's not actually the one from IKEA but it's lovely nonetheless. IMO, it's prettier than the one I saw. Haha. And now I couldn't help but use it whenever I can, which would be every few hours--if I had any say about it. :P Danke schoen, Donabel schön! I simply adore it! :D

The Real Deal about Truth and Freedom

For the past few weeks, I have been fortunate enough to stick to the routine of reading a verse from the Bible every morning and reflecting on its message. It has been wonderfully enlightening, to say the least. Last Wednesday, this was the verse that greeted me when I opened my Bible app... If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ~ John 8:36 To say that I was stunned is an understatement... but then, I shouldn't have been. Ever since I can remember, whenever I'm struggling with some ethical or moral dilemma, I always get an epiphany of the answer. In my youthful pride, I thought "Wow, I'm brilliant." Not knowing it was not actually me but God who was guiding me to the answers. It took me a while to realize this and thankfully when I became an adult, I did. This time was one of them. You see, I was struggling. Four months and still counting, my father and I have been forced to endure each other's company for weeks on end. Outsid...
