Zooming In...

  

Tried experimenting today on some water drop shots. So far this is the closest that I can get. I must have been   squatting for a long time and took around 50 shots while under the umbrella in the drizzling rain. When I was done, waah leg cramps!!!!

   I will always be forever grateful to our Creator, who has been my source of strength in times of trouble and trials. We should also be thankful for every small blessings that come our way....

   Finally registered at Glorietta for the Runrio Unilab Run slated on the 21st. These are our singlets for my and the husband. Can't wait..3 more weeks to go!!!

   My sister and bro-in-law just came from their birthday vacation in  Davao, and here are their pasalubongs: A muslim - inspired  wallet and durian yemas. Thanks sis !!!

  With Juaning  pretty much making me lazy all day, I decided to try Nescafe's new coffee mix.Since I love Banoffee from Banapple I was wondering how will it taste like... sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. It  tastes the same as with other 3-in-1 coffee mixes that I tried before. Naitriga lang kasi ako sa Banoffee flavor .....

  ...  the latest technology that enables us to see  and talk to the people we love from across the miles.Since my husband works abroad, this is basically our saving grace to keep ourselves sane when we are apart..... 

  Oh no!! Not another food post...sorry guys I just can't help it. Bought a dozen of these at Mister Donut. It's a  mashmallow sandwiched with chocolate donut then coated  with chocolate....yummy!!!

  Though I prefer wood to plastic storage boxes, when I saw this design of Orocan in a dept store today, I fell in love with it because it was so colorful!! Here is another design with a bear design:

 perfect for kids' bedrooms :)

  It's  Lani's birthday today and she treated us with a relaxing massage  at Blue Water Day Spa, it was the most blissful 2 hours of my life !!! Here was our group photo shot after we had our massages :) 

    I had this lamp in my bedroom for almost half my life . If this lamp can only speak, it will tell you all my ups and downs, memories cherished and also best forgotten....

   Went out with my college friends today, and it is somewhat related because we were walking down memory lane...laughing our hearts out with our little escapades. Anyway, I noticed  Czecl's beads and decided to make it my subject for today

  Yey..300 more photos to go!!!  I bought this  at the market and good thing I wouldn't have to wait for Christmas to finally savor this :D

  This is one of the impressive stained glass windows inside the Antipolo Cathedral. When we were little, we visit the church every May. And now that I live nearer, I make it a point to hear mass usually on weekdays :)

      I collect these flowers growing around weeds  when I was little, it sure did bring back memories of carefree days...

  ...my belly!!! My kids and i can't get enough of grilled tuna in lemon butter sauce..yum!!!

    I only noticed this design of Coke after I  was finished with it ...cute!!!

   I make it a habit to jog at least 4x a week early in the morning. I usually jog around this place, the Rizal Provincial Capitol. When the early morning sun was starting to shine on the building's windows, I thought it would be a good subject. I tried it with Sepia and B&W settings but I liked it more  with its natural color.

  

   On our way to watch HP7, Ira bought this  bucket of  cheese popcorn. Oh My... Never again!! Sobrang naumay kami at pinilit na lang namin ubusin while watching. I'm more partial to buttered popcorn especially yung sa Robinsons na they put melted butter  on top of the popcorn. Kaso since sa SM kami nanood, walang ganun... hay at least another lesson learned :)

  This is my neighbor's rambutan tree and the rambutan fruits are starting to ripen. I like rambutan and I' ll  be looking forward on buying them at the market soon :)

  My kids  have been complaining of having to bring bulky water bottles in school. And worse, most of them always gets lost because they are very careless  in school where they just place them somewhere and have no idea when I asked them when they get home. So I bought these vapur bottles since you can just clip it on their backpacks , and good thing they are BPA- free pa... 

  It was my daughter who took this photo, we were on our way home when I saw this tricycle..naawa ako dun sa bata pati yung nasa gilid.Why are the parents of these kids allowing this?

  Take your pick? My favorite was the mango flavor. :)

   Here's our dinner, veggies sa gata at piniritong GG... burp!!!

  Pink basting brushes that is... I'm craving for some grilled liempo and I've been wanting to use my new basting brushes. However, our current weather condition makes it impossible  kasi my grill area has very little roof outside. Mr. Sun..please come out!!!

    I'm wishing that we finally have a car of our own soon. Although I use my sister's car when I pick up my kids and nephews from school, I commute when I have to go somewhere else. And here in Antipolo, tricycle fares are so insanely expensive. But it will happen in God's time :)

  I wish that Yakult comes available in bigger bottles. Sobrang bitin sa mga anak ko. They can finish one pack each in one day!!!!

  I  don't usually pass this overpass when I go home from a nearby mall. But today even with the rain clouds threatening, I feel like walking and decided to use this bridge.The LRT station is on my right and  was almost tempted to spontaneously take a  round trip ride but decided against it cuz its the rush hour. 

  I wish for time to hurry up to August, when my hubby will be home with us for a much awaited vacation. My kids and I miss him terribly so.... 

   With Mia and I  both nursing a cold, I decided to cook chicken sopas, my ultimate comfort food. 

  Another Mia shot, my only willing model, while playing in her tunnel/ tent.

  uh-oh.....someone is in trouble..... 

    Sorry for this crappy shot, I used my phone camera because a guard is near me and I might be reprimanded . I saw this super big eraser and can't help taking its picture because of what's printed on it, this made me laughed I swear  :)

  

     Couldn't find a willing subject for a portrait shot and while walking along High Street, I saw this dog wearing  an Ateneo shirt and decided to make it my model...talk about school pride :)
