It's really flattering to be receiving questions like, "are you a professional photographer?" For me it's some sort of validation that I'm doing something interesting, enough to capture their attention. But really, I'm no pro, not even near it. It's a hobby that I find so therapeutic just like blogging. It's one way of squeezing out my creative juices and sharing it to my friends.Actually there are no secrets, a lot of helpful resources are available...

Well, do you think they are surprised? LOL, obviously they are just acting surprised. It has become a habit for us friends to have this kind of pose and you have to utter the words "NYEEH" before I clicked the shutter, hehehe. This was popularized in Pinoy comedy sitcoms and imitated by almost everyone who are trying to deliver a funny punchline but the response is Nyeeh! (read CORNY!) We actually call this Pinoy pose, and there is also Korean pose...

YAMI tagged me to answer this question, How old is old?I will quote Mark Twain to establish my idea. "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you dont mind it doesn't matter."We can't deny the fact that everything goes south when we get older. Wrinkles showing up, joints cracking up and memory gaps occur more often. The physical eyesight declines but the spiritual eyesight improves and for me that is more essential. On this note, getting old is a...

Nostalgia is that sentimental yearning for happiness of a certain place or time. I had difficulty looking for a photo that would make me feel nostalgic, sure there are lots of them that needs to be dusted off in one corner of our house but that would trigger my allergy so I just scoured my computer archive to look for a photo that would bring back memories and this is the closest I got.....My sister and I, with our childhood icons donald duck and...

Ang lemon pie ng Lemon Pie House ang pinaka namimiss kong merienda at sa sobrang pagka asam ko ay napanaginipan ko pa. Ang hirap nga lang ay sa SAGADA lang ito matatagpuan kaya nagbabalak na kaming bumalik sa madaling panahon kahit na dose 0ras pa ang byahe bago marating yun. Isa lang ito sa maraming dahilan para balik-balikan ang Sagada.Ang isang hiwa ng lemon pie ay 20 pesos lang tapos sabayan mo ng mountain tea sa halagang 15 pesos, kasama pa...

If you're in Facebook, you've probably came across the FB account of Old Philippines and now a fan. Can't help but feel nostalgic going thru the old pictures and videos of the Old Philippines. If I could only travel in time, the pre war era would be on the top of my list. The simple life, the uncluttered streets, the outfits, the transport system, the structures and the unpolluted environment ... oh what an ideal period to live in.Whoever created...

fried ricetofu steakIsang nakakatakam na Huwebes na naman ang dulot ng Litratong Pinoy, kaya eto at pagmasdan nyo ang tanghalian ko noong isang araw, tofu steak at fried rice ng TEMPURA. Paborito ko ang tofu steak na may maraming mushroom bits. Pilit ko ngang ginagaya sa bahay ang recipe nito pero laging nadudurog ang tofu kaya sa labas na lang ako kumakain pag natatakam ako nito.Sa iba pang klaseng tanghalian, halina sa Litratong Pin...

Sometimes, I find it more fun to just stay home on a friday night especially if it coincided with payday 'coz that means heavy traffic and crowded gimmick places. Ordering pizza delivery while on the comforts of our living room is my best option while having a DVD movie marathon with my sisters and cousins until the wee hours of the morning and then waking up late on Saturday ... Just Perfect for me! :)For more food trips, go to this si...

Sabi nila, mainam na kumain ng ALMUSAL araw-araw dahil mas nakakabuti ito sa ating kalusugan. Madalas kasi eh tanghali na akong gumising kaya ang almusal ko ay yung tanghalian na namin.Pero kung buffet naman ang almusal, eh syempre kailangang gumising ng maaga ng makarami at makakain ng ibat ibang klase ng almusal .... di bale nang pagkatapos eh magkapili-pilipit ang aking tiyan sa kabusugan, hehehe ....Sa iba pang nakakatakam na almusal, bisita...

This week at I heart faces, everyone is sharing their summer stories through a series of photos. Our summer in Boracay is my contribution .....To get a good view of Boracay, we visited Mt. Luho, Boracay's highest elevation with a viewing tower and a walk way. From here, we had a nice view of the Bolabog beach, the Fairways and Blue Water Golf Resort and of course the ocean. To get there we hired an All Terrain Vehicle for 500 pesos each.It was my...
