The year 2005 that was...
2005 has been good and bad for me. But one way or another, there's always something to be thankful of...
How should I start this? Hmm...
Ok, let's start with what wasn't part of the plan, but part of God's plan...
... Being close to Ram and Michelle. Obviously, these two are my highlight for this year. They're my long lost sibblings. I can't imagine 2005 without them. So, I'm looking forward to next year veklers!
... Acceptance and forgiveness. It may take more than 2005 to heal the hurt and pain, but it will pass. Plans may have changed but things will be clearer better soon. Thank You for enlightening me.
... Learning from my mistakes and other's as well. Sabi nga, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
... Celebrating friendships. New ones may have come and go, contracts may have expired, but they will always always always will be part of the memories.
... The endless travels. Appreciating what was there before us.
... Old ground, new home.
... Diego, my love dog.
... The images created and the ability to make people happy with what I do.
... My brothers' success. I will always be proud of them. ABU!
... My parents who have been a great support to whatever decisions I have made. I will try my best not to fail you.
And as they say, all is well, that ends well.
Looking forward to 2006! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
That's why we pray...
For better days to come...

Melo-drama season
The title seems hard to explain on this side of the net, but I've been in a bit of a drama lately. This Christmas will be a bit special for me, or atleast that's what I've been thinking the whole time. Unlike last year, it was work-'til-I-drop situation. This time, I want to spend more time with my family and friends for some different reason.
Plus, the sudden departure of Michelle for Tokyo. All the while we were expecting that she'd be spending her Christmas and new year here with us. Btw, we've pulled off, I must say, a well done job on our Christmas-tree-promise to my mom. Last week, she received a call from Japan embassy confirming her visa referral number. She left as soon as she's done packing (ok, exag, parang ganun na rin). She's been calling us (me, Ram and my mom) everyday since she left. I think we're all going through separation anxiety. Ram and I will see her soon. *keeping our fingers crossed*
Some pictures the night before she left:
Oh and the weekend before that, Ver, Annale, Mich and I went back to La Luz Resort trying to chase the sun... I think we chased it away...
Pasko ba?
I was shooting a wedding earlier today when our couple from California was talking about a certain Cathy Levanza who's getting married right after their church ceremony at San Agustin.
I asked where this certain Cathy's from.
Glendale, California.
Such a small world. She's the same girl I had in mind. A good family friend of ours. She was once part of the Philippine Team for women's division in PPSA... now all dressed in white.
She sent me an sms awhile ago:
"Thanks for stopping by to say hi. Ingat ha. Happy Holidays."
I replied:
"It was nice to see you and Val again. Happy Christmas to you too... Congrats again."
She replied:
"Tnx. Regards to the rest of your family. Goodluck on your chosen field in career."
Career? Then I started to wonder...
tsaka na lang kwento... :|
My back hurts.. gotta lay down.

What were they thinking?
"Gutom ka na?"
"Naintindihan mo yung sermon?"
"Ano kayang palabas sa TV?"

Reality check.
Got home today from my 5-day trip to Bora. Unfortunately, the weather was so erratic making me feel melancholic the whole most of the time. Yun lang. Next time na kwento. Antok n'ko.

Friends @ Friend's Bar
Jim's back!
He flew all the way from Shanghai (where he's studying Mandarin) to celebrate his birthday with Michelle (at kami na din). I think we did a pretty good job getting him drunk and enjoying the rest of the night.
And as for that Bonsai we saw that night. .|..

Disyembre
I was preparing my hard disk last night for my upcoming shoots and I came across this image. It reminds me of Sea Games' theme Maskara Festival . Our country's doin' good!
On the other note...
The days are passing by so fast! Disyembre na naman! I'm hoping that this month is less stress than my December last year. And just to kick things off and make this blog going while I burn my ass shooting, I'll try to post pictures (just pictures) of what I've been doing, who I was shooting, and where I've been going... I'm off to bed now, got an early day tomorrow...
Have a better weekend peeps! Ciao!
