Day 118: Little Angel

I was finally able to visit Roxie, Chris and their cute little angel, Sophie! ^_^

07.06.10
Day 119: Loud And Proud

Theme: Pinoy Na Pinoy.
I wear my pride loud and proud.

07.07.10
Day 120: Three Stars And A Sun

Theme: Pinoy Na Pinoy.
The best subject that could fit this week's theme. Grabbed a couple of shirts from my brother's closet, cut out three stars and a sun from a plastic bag and voila! Yes, I'm resourceful that way. Haha.

07.08.10
Day 121: Takoyaki

Once again had our lunch at Little Tokyo. Tried another restaurant called Oishinbo. Food was more expensive compared to Hana. Ordered a bowl of Beef Yakiniku. Nothing special. Tasted a lot like Yoshinoya's. Hehe. But the mashed potato!!! The best I've tried so far! As in! No need for gravy! =P~

Having read good reviews about Hana's authentic Takoyaki, I was very excited to try it out myself. Sadly, I was quite disappointed. There weren't much veggies and I hate the taste of pickled ginger! Yak. If this is what real Takoyaki tastes like, then I'm settling for the cheaper versions found in the malls. Swak na swak sa panlasang Pinoy. Haha.

07.09.10
Day 122: Empowered

Theme: Pinoy Na Pinoy.
The People Power Monument along EDSA commemorating the peaceful revolution of 1986, which toppled the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos. A first in the history of our country and perhaps the history of the world that will forever be engraved in the hearts and minds of every Filipino.

07.10.10
Day 123: Cooking Ng Ina Ko

Theme: Pinoy Na Pinoy.
My favorite Filipino dish: Adobong Baboy! Yummy! =P~

07.11.10
Day 124: Tumbang Preso

Theme: Pinoy Na Pinoy.
As a kid, I really don't remember playing with dolls and kitchen sets. I was always out in the streets playing taguan, patintero, langit-lupa and tumbang preso. Yup, I was a batang kalye and those games were some of my best childhood memories. Sadly, most kids nowadays don't get to experience that kind of fun. They spend more time indoors, sitting in front of their monitors, playing computer games. They hardly ever run with bare feet and go home with scraped knees.

Chocolate is scrumptious when it crunches! =P~

Day 112: Back Of My Hand



Theme: Take Two.
No one else in the world has the same handprint as I do. Every line and every curve is unique. Wala lang, I just think that's pretty cool. Hehe. And I hope that my handprints won't fade from the lives that I've touched. Kung meron man. Hehe. :)

06.30.10
Day 113: Ashes Remain



Theme: Take Two.
I wanted to keep the fire burning, but try as I might I can't.

07.01.10
Day 114: Big Fish



Theme: Take Two.
Walked around Glorietta for some last minute shopping. We then had our dinner at Burger King. I was so hungry, I ordered a Big Fish meal. So hungry, I decided to upsize my fries and my drinks. So hungry, my food was gone in 10 minutes! Waha. Takaw.

07.02.10
Day 115: Walk Back Home



Theme: Take Two.
Everytime I walk out of our house, I whisper a silent prayer and ask God to keep me safe so that I may be able to walk back in.

07.03.10
Day 116: Chasing Waterfalls



Theme: Take Two.
Went to Taytay falls at Majayjay, Laguna. Enjoyed the ice cold water gushing from Mt. Banahaw, the drinks, the laughter, the stories, the bonding moments. Looking forward to our next stop! :)

Day 109: Summer Is Still On

Theme: When Pictures Sing.
Had our company outing at Pueblo Por La Playa in Pagbilao, Quezon. 'Twas a Mexican-inspired resort adorned with bright colors and unique patterns. The beach wasn't that great but the infinity pool made up for it. Unlike last year, I'm no longer part of the committee so I got to participate in the games! Wee! Fun, fun! Hehe. My skin is burning, my forearms beaten black and blue but it's all worth it. :)

"Time to relax
Time to go slow
Maupo ka na lang
At panoorin ang mundo
Kalimutan muna natin ang trabaho
Masisira na ang ating ulo."

Day 91: Tabemashou!

Theme: Simplicity.
Had a very satisfying lunch at Hana - one of the many authentic Japanese restaurants in Little Tokyo. Ordered fried prawns and it was the best I've had ever! And the biggest too! To put it in Bhal's words, "ga-braso ang laki". And he's not exaggerating! Hehe. A plate costs Php380. Quite pricey, yes, but it's money well spent! =P~

More pictures here!

06.09.10
Day 92: Piso

Theme: Simplicity.
When I was a kid, a peso could buy me a stick of Astra, an ice candy or a small bag of Pritos Ring. Nowadays, how far can my humble Piso go? I can't even buy a gum.

[Project 297] Week 13

We've all been running thin on ideas for Project 297 and we're not even halfway through! Waah. So we decided to come up with a weekly theme to help give us something to base our shots around. ^_^

Day 83: Bida Ang Sarap

Theme: Black and White and Red.
For me, nothing beats Jollibee's spaghetti. Not even my mom's spaghetti. It really is the meatiest, tastiest and spaghettiest! =P~

06.01.10
Day 84: Bokeh

After an awful lot of tries, I was finally able to capture my own bokeh photo! Wee! Thought it would be impossible for me to achieve this shot since my digital camera doesn't have a lot of manual options that I could play around with. But I thought wrong! Well, it's not as striking as most of the bokeh pictures I've seen, the colors aren't that vivid. But it's not that bad, eh? Kaya ng digicam ko ang kaya ng SLR mo! Weheh. ^_^

06.02.10
Day 85: Domo-Kun!

Domo-Kun is the official mascot of a TV station in Japan. I really dunno what kind of creature it is. Is it a chocolate bar, a brownie or a screaming poop? I dunno. But it sure makes a perfect pouch for my iTouch. Hehe.

Saw a lifesize Domo-Kun at Comic Alley. If I was a little kid, I swear I'd be scared shitless. Just look at those dead eyes and jagged teeth. Thought it was just for display but it's actually for sale at Php 12,500. Wala lang. Hehe.

06.03.10
Day 86: It Was All Started By A Mouse

Theme: Black and White and Red.
First saw this pair of slip-ons on a billboard along Libis. Didn't like it that much because of the green base color. But when I saw it in white, I knew it would be a crime to turn and walk out of the store empty handed. Hehe. Special thanks to Furanzu for the swipe! ;)

Real Coke taste. Zero sugar.

Derick has started his own business of customized shirts. I got mine today and I love love it! But do I really have that big of a smile? I mean, really? Wehe. :P Congrats on a great start! ^_^
