Because I miss the outside world and my camera and the impulsive trips in, out and around town, I scanned through my photo files and found these faves. I had fun reminiscing the whens, whats, hows and whos behind each photograph. So let the pictures do their job of painting a thousand words...I will let them do the talking...err, some of the talking. :D

| Mi Estrella I love this one because it puts together my fave icons Star and Smiley, plus Yellow shining in the dark. A successful spotlight effect captured while taking advantage of the darkness brought about by the power outage one stormy night. December 2010 | Home |

| Manuel et Maria My parents, now old and sick, are still the jolly ones. They are my reminders of not worrying about the morrow. Gentle, caring and very supportive, they have made life less complicated. This day was Mama's only day out (of the house). Her one-time-big-time stroke left her paralyzed. Taken before Tatay's great accident. I hope to spend more happy years with them - to learn from them, to serve them, to love them. November 2010 | Antipolo |

| La Mariposa This is just one of the "insect" photographs I have taken. I love capturing tiny living things on camera. Aside from getting clear, magnified details, I am most challenged with keeping them still and picture-ready. This one is a success! I have files of ants, beetles, spiders, grasshoppers, flies and worms, too! Icky as they may seem to appear to the naked eye but viewing them in greater detail is not as horrifying as one may imagine it to be. January 2011 | Home |

| Mi Retiro Destino Living in the city makes me long for peaceful environments like this. I hope to spend the last years of my life as close to nature as possible. This picture translates my hopes and dreams into the physical form. I passed by this place one excursion day when I enjoyed the cool, clear river water after a long trail up the mountains. This place is walking distance to a waterfalls, and near a beach as well. April 2011 | Romblon |

| EL Valiente Yeli Among the firstfruits of my photography adventures, Yeli braving the dark has given me inspiration. Yeli has been absorbing tears and fears for five years now. Wherever I go (for long trips), he goes. September 2008 | Pasig |
 |
| La Naturaleza Cool, cool, refreshing nature! I just love the complementing blue and green. Makes me want to camp out - perfect treatment for stressful days in the city :) Taken while traversing the smoothly-paved SCTEX one family outing day. May 2009 | Subic |
 |
| La Floracion Blooming out of contrast, soft, sweet, creamy...ice cream? Flowers are among nature's wonderful creations. One will never run out of colors, patterns and even textures, and their various combinations. I picked this lucky one from a heap while on an early morning jog around the village with Tatay and Shoti. February 2011 | Antipolo |
 |
| Mi Preciosa Puesta de Sol (See previous blog entry on sunsets for the story ;-) April 2010 | Zambales |
 |
| Mi Familia New Year's Eve Feast. People who matter most to me. Small, happy family. Perfect? No. Challenged? Yes. But I would pick them anytime. If only we could be together forever January 2010 | Queenstown |
