I will miss you and...
the way you hug my shoes.
the way you make lambing…
And every thing about you.
I will surely miss you.
Summer
It’s summer once again in the Philippines. As expected, there will be tons of people, foreigners and local in the most famous beach place here in the Phil, and that is Boracay. Well, if one cannot afford the busy, over populated shores of Bora, there is still Puerto Galera in Mindoro and Coron in Palawan. But if you just want to hit the waves and bath under the sun, there is the wild,...

Remembering People Power Revolution
It was 26 years ago when another event marks our history book. I was 6 or 7 or so that time when I heard helicopters roar over our house. My parents would remind us never to go outside for the military helicopters might shoot us. I heard over the radio that the Pilipino people must pray, pray from freedom, which I don’t understand at that time. I didn’t even thought that it could be...
Humdrum
Its been awhile since I wrote an entry in my blog. After then, I am experiencing a writers block. I know I am not this. I used to write and write long.
But now, I kept looking at my fingernails. Looking at no particular thing. Then I looked outside, the view from my office table is not welcoming. The noon sun is scorching hot. You could feel the summer waves.
Then I looked at my monitor, looking...
Try again (and again) next time
I’d been applying for other work/job with other companies. I’d been with my current company for 11 years now and still my career moves on a lateral manner. And it seems that that career ladder is toooooo far away to reach.
So for this year, I decided to try to apply for a new job in a new organization… I decided to apply to Resorts World Manila.
I went to an interview, it was...

Resorts World Manila
It is my second time to drop by at Resorts World Manila. And I still mesmerize the place.
No picture Please! even in front of the Casino.
You can still sense the Dragon.
For the very Lucky Year of the Dragon
Saw this wonderful predictions and future guides in one of the local malls here in the Philippines (clue: its a chinese - owned mall, hehehehe).
Find your year na lang.
Beautiful Migrants
I was off to attend a Job Fair last week with my camera, when I got a glimpse of those feathery flocks that decorated the swamps of Kawit, Cavite. Wait a minute! There’s a lot of time to stop and click the shutter.
The Dilemma of an Old Fashioned Second hand Geeko
Last last year I bought myself a new phone. It is not actually a new phone but a second hand phone. Its an HTC 8525 with QWERTY keypad, 2MP camera, video, WIFI, micro SD slot and other basic features of a mobile phone. I bought it for 4k from a colleague, I could say that it was my best buy because there are some battery problems, actually the battery was already replaced by owner, and it was a...
Macro-ing Sunday
There is so much to blog about; like the current issue/feature of Sunday Inquirer Magazine which is about our beloved bishop, Bishop Luis Antonio ‘Chito’ Tagle, entitled Filipino Most Likely to be a Pope; Philippines’ new slogan, More Fun in the Philippines; the upcoming Feast of the Black Nazarene, which houses 2 million devotees of different ages and from different provinces...
The Shoe and the Dog
I was about to take a sleep and have nothing to blog about. Although, I was thinking if I am going to blog about my recent success of completing a 5k jog (ah, eh, jog and walk, pala, hehehe) and the attempt to decrease my weight from the previously 164 lbs to 160 lbs.
But something caught my eye and my heart. Seeing my only dog hugging my shoe while he is about to sleep. Awwwww sweet.
He loves...
The Weight
I checked the scales this morning and I am not surprise to see my weight.
Uh oh! Time to dash to the gym, grab an ab rocket or dumb bells.
shoo!
We call him Batik, one of the four cats that we have.
First Choosy Choose Day of 2012
My worn out slash old slash super dirty rubber shoes already calls for replacement but with issues on money and budgeting, I am setting aside my desire to buy a new one. So instead of whining over my money constraints, I just took a shot of my shabby shoes, for memoirs sake.
This rubber shoes accompanied me for my jogging adventures. My first official 5k run was made possible with these two foot...
0102 of 2012: See you next December
We are now in a process of tidying up our home to prepare it for the ordinary days. So I bid temporary farewell to those Christmas Decor that had been with us for so many years.
The festive season is almost over and tomorrow is our scheduled return to work. Oh no! Its time to think of the upcoming Summer Outing and other company activities.
With the 8 to 5 schedule, how can I compress...
HAPPY 2012 EVERYONE!
Whoa! Its another year! Another beginning. Whatever God provides us for this year I am sure it will be full of graces and bountiful blessing.
As for me, I would like to start this year with my new project: to have a 365 days of photo. Yah, I know it will be a lot of hard work and of course concentration on composition, lighting, effects, subject and moments to capture. Who knows, I will be able...

My Dream House
I attended a wedding of a very close friend last weekend. Ay mali pala, I was a bridesmaid to a wedding of very close friend last weekend. (I don’t know if it is because of my looks kaya ngayon lang ako nakapag abay, my first time, my eureka moment). Anyway, the wedding held at Balai Isabel in Talisay, Batangas. Yup, it is the same place where Oyo Boy Sotto wed Kristine Hermosa. It is suppose to...
Dear Santa
In one of the years of my childhood, I was surprised by Santa, he put a beautiful Mickey Mouse watch in my wrist on the the eve of Christmas Day. And when I woke up, there I say Mickey telling me its time to know Santa.
But I saw Santa in those elegant, snowy Christmas Cards that were sent to us from our relatives in the US. So Santa is so granny, old, with white beard, super rosy cheeks, big...

Just want to share to you some of my works.
The Big Chocolate-ty Day!
The Birthday Prayer
O God, I thank You for giving me another year of life.
I thank You for all the people who have remembered me today, and who have sent me cards, and letters and good wishes and presents; for everything which I have been enabled by You to do and to be in the past year.
I thank You for all the experiences of the past year; For times of success which will always be happy memories;...
Double digits: Doubling the Effort
On the eve of my birthday my mother told me she still had nothing to give to me on my birthday. I told her that the Triple Chocolate Roll we bought earlier is enough. I even remember a week ago that she asked what dish/food do I want for my natal day, I told her that we almost ate every food in town, we even tasted those in the metro, and for they are all the same. And I crave for...
Christmas List
It’s been years since I started listing gifts for my friends for Christmas. The list is not to guide me what to buy for them but to budget my 13th month pay for gifts and other Christmas related expenses.
I usually do the listing by October, or sometimes, when I saw a thing that signifies a friend. I even revised my list, I would either add a friend, or change the gift that I am going to give. For...
Tis' the season to be BUSY
OH MY GOD! Its almost mid of November and few days from now is Christmas Day and another few days from now is our company Christmas Party. And being the most artistic and most creative person I am (ehem!), I was given the task to organize, prepare and conceptualize the event. And as we all know the Christmas Season is the busiest season of the year.
What’s in store in our Christmas Party?
We...
Mabu-Hai!
Last Friday was such a one fine day. I accompanied a friend to BGC to claim her winnings. She won 7 Ferrari Cars. Thanx to Nuffnang and dapattylaurel.blogspot.
We decided to take a stroll around High Street, afterwards. There’s not much people around, maybe because its too early or maybe the people were at work. And we love being alone it feels like we own the place.
Stroll, Stop and...
Thoughts to Ponder
I am currently in a phase that needs some upgrade in my career, but thinking about our economy, I am having a dilemma. Our company is experiencing a very alarming turn over rate, for many reasons and I don’t know if I will join the band wagon.
As I am reading Francis Kong’s blog, I would like to share this wonderful questions that would help others to think about their job and job...

In love with Photography
All I ever wanted is to capture beauty and drama.
Ever since I owned a still camera this was my main objective. My first film camera was given to me by my aunt. My first captures was a tiger in a cage and the beautiful Taal volcano. But I only earned a “waste of film” criticism. And the shots are either too dark or too far.
The same criticism was heard when I have my first digicam. I asked my...
Feeling High in High Street
One super sunny afternoon. I decided to break from my usual work routines. I called my father and scheduled an afternoon date with him…. Where? Just as the title goes… in Bonifacio Global City, High Street.
My dad is not much of a traveler. In his most mature age, he prefers to stay at home and enjoy house chores on weekends. If we ask him of a family day out, he would rant of the...
