Sneak Peek from photgrapher B

Gmorning Sunday!

Woke up with both my arms aching and my head swimming. Haven't really slept much despite the super tired feeling I had yesterday. Saturday was spent with photographer B, and the shoot did not go according to planned.

AND it was so much better than I have ever imagined!

The mom-Coco shoot rolled into a family photo op- with almost all of us soo ready for a wacky shot. imagine Tito E and Lola grandma posing for wacky. But oh they did! They loved him and the kids adored him..

Despite the heat and the utter dry summer feeling, i saw some really beautiful shots from his cam. The most unlikely locations actually were the best. Shoot was at the farm, with not much frills and sets. Just really fresh, fun and funky* LOL

Sneak peek from Bon Aserios, almost made me cry when I saw it. (I KNOW, drama right?) But well, it was moving.



Check out www.bonaserios.com for a dose of his fresh, fun, funky photos!

What's a world without love?

I spent the Holy Week at the Farm, with my lil one. I brought my laptop with me without the intention of opening it. But for some reason, I kept lugging it around. Sometimes, when my heart tells me to shut off and disconnect, my brain unceasingly argues. For reasons like I MUST WORK and WORK. And as the close "internal" conflicts go, my heart almost always wins.

And so, the past week was spent chasing my lil one around and playing Mommie to three/four beautiful kiddos.

I taught Q how to bake cookies, substituting basic ingredients with what we can find in the cupboards.



And she made them perfectly like a pro.. :D



Picked flowers with my little one during church visits and planted some back at home.



Bathe in the sunshine on Easter Morning



And as I watched my kiddo dressed up as Snow White and ran around the house with so much dreams, love and happiness...



I figured that this second chance in life that I have is the best gift that my Lord gave me.

Over the few days I visited churches, and contemplated on the Word of God, on my life now and on our future and our dreams, I have learned that when JC died on the cross one day, He died to give the world a second chance.

Like He gave me mine. And in doing so, I have experienced Unconditional loving, relentless faith and unceasing Hope.

With this second shot, I believe the world is a better one for me and for my little one. It's not easy going down the road less travelled, with its bumps and turns. But knowing that each turn leads us to the right direction and eventually reaching posts of dreams, we just close our eyes and enjoy the warmth of the sun on our faces and the singing of the wind.

When you find your unconditional love and believe in second chances in life, life is but a heart on black outs. :D




LOVE. :)

Day 1: Farm

We went home to a sumptuous lunch yesterday, with Ninuy J's Kare-kare and version of Pinakbet. M brought her version of sansrival and my Coco showed off her toys to lola and Lola chattering over and over that we should have visited her relatives in Davao. Then Sunday felt so complete and the family lunch was the weekend's crowning glory and the perfect ending to a really good weekend.

Coco went on her first roadtrip..


Day 1 of the trip went OK, with only an hour from the city, Coco handled the drive really well. Sleeping most of the way, we got to the farm before she even asked for her first Papap of the day.

Stayed a night at there, chased raindrops and chickens and discovered guinea pigs and yellow flowers. Like my little girl, the farm will always hold a special place in my heart. With soft singing of the wind, and the quiet murmurs of the river below, it was good to be home.











Coco brought a lot of energy for the weekend get away, spent her days counting, singing and laughing with her equally mischievous cousin K. I brought a lot of ideas for work and writing, brought my notebook for a possible phrase or two even, but ended up laughing and playing with my little gurls the whole time.

Ginamos, pistachios and a lot of stories kept the farm day really far from stress. Day 1 of the road trip just started.
