Happy Anniversary I Heart Faces!!!

It's been ages since my last entry at i heart faces but surely wouldn't want to miss this one. The challenge is to incorporate their logo into your pictures. While I don't think my entry would make it to the cut, it was definitely fun looking at the other entries, their creativity is really flowing and I got to learn in the process.







Go check their site and see how others played. The contest will end this Friday, you still have time to join....

This week's theme at I ♥ Faces is BALLOONS. Balloons never fail to enliven up any childrens party! Here, my cousins were all scampering for their spot to have their photos taken together with the balloons! Isn't that fun?

I'm glad to have finally sit down and work on I ♥ Faces theme for the week "My Favorite Things" before the week ends. These are just a few of my favorite things and will probably come up with a part two in my succeeding posts.

Another exciting Fix it Friday at I Faces. The subject for this week's edits is the under exposed photo of this cute little boy named "Wee Man".


Lightroom is the key for my edits below :


Worked around by increasing the White Balance and the Exposure. Adjust the clarity to make it sharp and adjust the Tone Curve. I cropped the photo focusing on the boy holding on to his Father's hand.

I missed some of my weekly memes due to my colds and my sprained right arm that limited most of my computer activities, the pain is somewhat lessened now and was able to browse for a candid shot to enter for this week's I Faces.
Here, my friends were unaware that I took this shot while they were busy laughing at some of the photos they have taken.

This week at Fix it Friday on I heart Faces, players can try their hands on making this already beautiful photo of a pretty young lady to something interesting and different.

Original Photo


Here are my treatments :
Using Lightroom, I cropped the photo above to focus on the beautiful subject, then I adjusted a bit of the exposure and added some black. I also adjusted the clarity to define the colors and make it more sharp.
Here, I want to provide some dreamy effect. Using Lightroom, I cropped the photo again, lessen the clarity to provide that dreamy effect and lessen the saturation, then used vignette.

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 daisy duck. Looking at this certainly brought back childhood memories. I grew up watching them on the boob tube together with mickey mouse and the other walt disney characters and always have this fervent wish to visit Disneyland and enjoy a moment with them. That wish took plenty of years to come true until Hongkong Disneyland opened up. It was a funny and ecstatic moment running after this characters in my adulthood feeling like a kid and lining up to have our photos taken. But that was all worth it and would still want to see Disneyland in Florida even if it would take me another plenty of years. :)

There are plenty of beautiful Nostalgia themed pictures here at .

Check them out!

My first try to play fix it friday at I heart faces and below is the original photo of a young handsome man that will be the subject for our fix it friday entries.

And here are my FIXES :

I use Lightroom to come up with the photo above, adjusted the exposure, fill in some lights and some blacks, adjusted the luminance and soften the skin using the adjustment brush. I also use Photoshop's unsharp mask to define the eyes.
On this one, I crop the picture and tilted it a bit. Played around the exposure, the saturation and clarity using Lightroom then processed it at Photoshop using curves, smart blur and unsharp mask.
Other creative fixes can be found here.

I met this cute kid while we were having lunch in one of the restos in D'Mall in Boracay. He readily got my attention with that cute curly locks he got. He was actually acting grumpy with his nanny so I offered him a chocnut candy and that was the look I got.... yeah he accepted the chocnut and then asked for more :D ....

For more crazy, silly and funny faces, you've got to head on to I Heart Faces!

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 first time to ride an ATV and traversed a rugged terrain and it was all worth it ....

Getting henna tattoos have become a popular must do when you visit the beach, so I had one for myself ...

Even if it was raining and the sand can really get harsh when the wind blows, we sure had fun!!! .........
And who could resist the best milkshake in Boracay!
And if your built for this, Boracay boasts of water activities for the water sports enthusiasts ...We still managed to catch the sunset even if there was typhoon at that time, it was not as glorious as it used to be but still beautiful ....


Night life is alive in Boracay. You can party all night, lucky for us, it was not raining from 10pm onwards and so we treated ourselves to some acoustic sounds and some drinks ...


And my most treasured moment is some quiet moment after taking a bubble bath, thanking my Father up above for the opportunity to be one with nature and enjoy this beautiful experience.

Come visit and join the fun here!!!

I've been wanting to play in "I heart Faces" weekly photo challenge for quite some time and just find time to do so now. Tuesday night is their cut off time so I'm still in ...

This week's theme is "at the beach" and among the many beach photos I have, I'd like to share this one. This was taken last year at the famous Boracay beach, my friend was rejoicing coz finally the storm ceased after two days since we arrived and we can now fully enjoy the beach and bask in the sun.

With or without the storm, we definitely had fun!
