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 t...

A Lovely Weekend with a Yummy Kiddie

Yes, yes! Yummy--because I wanted so very much to eat her up. :P Joke! Anyhoo, merci beaucoup to her beautiful parents for letting me take photos. They actually agreed when I asked if we could meet so I could have a mini photoshoot. So accommodating. I was so ecstatic! Hehehe. She so wanted that Berry Krusher. Mommy won't let her have any, poor baby. :( Such sparkly eyes! Hypnotizing, I tell you! When all else fails... smirk. Hehe. with pretty Mum playing with Pops hmmm... fascinated by Tita's iPhone... techie girl in the making? :P She was such a cutie, I wanted to squeeze her silly. But she had to go home 'coz she was sleepy... and apparently, when she's sleepy she gets as cranky as an old coot. :D So nice meeting you, baby Aze! ^_^

A Rose and Some Rain

February, the month of cutesy hearts and lovey dovey stuff... except maybe for me. It's always been "the second month of the year" or "Sean's birth month" for me. So yes, I was never the normal one. But I guess any month is always a blessing--I still do have loved ones, after all. And I am more than happy to be alive... and well... and able to rant or "eloquently" blab about things. (yes, I can be conceited sometimes ^_^) Aaa-ny-way... this post certainly has no direction at all. All I just wanted to do is post some pretty pictures I took this gloomy nippy day. Oh yes, it was a chilly February day. I got to use my kitty-ridden umbrella... and got goosebumps all over my upper limbs from the cold when I got out of the office. It was a cute morning though, despite the overcast weather. I spied some cute colorful umbrellas outside our hall. It made me grin. And when I got home, I finally remembered to take pictures of the Valentine rose I bought...

Fragrant Bunches for Teeny Feet

Spent last Sunday with a friend I haven't seen in months. It was nice to see her and hear her crazy ideas again. Yes, I'm blessed with such interesting pals. We were supposed to watch a movie, but I wasn't really dressed for it. I was wearing a pair of shorts--and I get cold so very fast--so I urged the said friend to do some window shopping instead. Well, not really window shopping since we actually bought something. I remembered I had to buy a plastic box for the office, so I did. (I probably sound boring now. I guess I just dunno what to write anymore. My head has been squeezed dry of anything remotely creative or interesting.) So there we were, walking at the mall... Chin was trying to think of anything to do to postpone our going home. I was trying not to shiver from the cold with every step. :P Then we spied these cute sweet-smelling paper bags near the escalators. The paper bags looked so cute and the prints so quaint that I couldn't help checking them out. A...

Lovely Trusty Ballet Flats

Cute adorable shoes are among the many things I just can't resist. But it's so hard keeping them these days... what with all the alternating rainshowers and blistering heat my city is so prone to, I could hardly keep any pair for long--unless they're sneakers, of course. Sneakers are such hardy pairs. But I could hardly wear sneakers with cutesy dresses, can I? Cebu may be a tad fashion forward these days, but it can only stand so much non-conformity. In my opinion, anyway. And people at the new office might decide to give me a memo for committing such a fashion crime. Joke! So, I have always had pairs of girly girl shoes handy around the house, just in case... especially ballet flats. I just adore them. Unfortunately, their usual lifespan is about 4 to 8 months. Sometimes, they last for about a year, which would be stretching my luck already. If they're over a year old, I usually get nervous that they'd fall apart any minute I'm out of the house. One time, I ac...

Arigatou gosaimazu! ^_^

Just received another present from a friend last weekend. He just came back from spending the holidays in his hometown in Japan and it was super nice of him to remember to buy me a "pasalubong". The beads look extra kawaii! And he treated me to some yummy lunch, too! Thanks, Hiro-kun! :D

Sundaes on a Saturday

Last Saturday was the first weekend I've had in weeks that really felt like a genuine weekend... and not like the same boring weekday in which nothing happened. I was so ridiculously happy I could have danced a jig. Hehehe. This is clearly what happens when you've been a bum for over a month. So to celebrate my joining the common throng of people with their typical work week again, I dragged my nieces to 7-Eleven and treated them to cheap yummy sundaes. ^_^ Now, if only I have enough money to buy a new pair of ballet flats... I'd be as happy as a bee for... the next three months, at least. :) All my good shoes have been destroyed by boiling hot pavement and/or unexpected floods. :( Ice cream will always be synonymous with happiness for me.
