Tales From The Darkroom

Kulay

Such a cute little mutt! He got 4 dimples according to his dad. But I'm sure only 2 are visible. :p He needs pustiso... :D

Kulay, that's what I want to call him. Short for Nikolai.

Trust

I'm re-learning the word.

“Those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2)

F is the new word.

Why am I talking to you in the first place?

Ugh.

It's really hard to forgive when you have not forgotten.

And coming back is close to impossible.

Life makes sense

This sight brings tears to my eyes. Baby J (his nickname for now) kept me up all night. Kuya Jay had their webcam set up and was so proud of showing how cute his baby is. What a big nose you have Baby J... haha. I showed mama the webcam set-up earlier today, and guess what, water works! haha I knew that will happen. People who knows the story behind this will probably say "finally!" a kid for him to love. We just all wish we were there. *sigh*

J Van Nikolai

My latest nephew. I wish I can hug and kiss him soon.

Cebu bliss

After 6 days of net free get-away, some dozen of spam emails, and a bunch of memories... I'm back on my good ol' sofa bed. As I grab a slice of pizza tonight, I try to recall some thoughts that I should've blogged while I was avoiding wifi hot spots in Cebu. Twas all good! And yes, I got pictures!

How can I resist and say no to a free roundtrip ticket to Cebu?! Should I pass on that?! No way Jose! I immediately said yes to Lele some weeks ago when she asked if I'd like to join her to my uncle's house blessing in Cebu. And since my uncle's paying for our airfare, why not?! After all, I can be an extra help to Lele for their interior set-up.

Deja vu! Interior design! Wow. I was such a slacker! hahaha... Although Lele and I both agreed that the design my uncle want was a bit too tacky for our taste... but the rule applies: The customer's always darn right!

After two days of fixing up the house, I want a new room! I was thinking of re-arranging my room. Maybe put more color or buy a furniture or two. I definitely want to change it or just move things around. I.D. bug bit me.

Meet Sophia, Mikaela, Fonzi and Yanna. They kept me entertained during my whole stay there. Bisdak gyud! Samok dinha abi ni Pia... cute little brat.

With one thousand and one things to do in Cebu, of course I can't miss meeting up with friends... and go to the beach!

Weather was fine, actually it was perfect, not a single drop of rain... Nic really made it up this time. Thanks Nic, amaw ka! ;p

Under control

Things get screwed up when you plan it.

I stayed home the whole day resting from last night's party and was looking forward to Saturday for the dive. I guess diving isn't part of His plan. I got "hold" by my dad. He won't allow me to dive. How funny is that? His reason was because it's raining. Hokay. He doesn't know I got certified up to Rescue with storms every check out dive. Rain? Ugh. I didn't let that get into me. I was having second thoughts anyway. My back hurts and besides, Pau, Icy and Chix later on backed out with a valid reason, so I guess I'm cool with that.

Speaking of last night's party... S.O.S. Zambales event was a blast. Lots of bands, and I mean lots, and unexpected ones too. Friends from nowhere showed up. We left just after SR's set. Thanks for the buzz treat insan! :p

Twas nice to see you guys!

Oh and watch out for some lomo gallery update. :)

Mu Ritmo

I'm bad with rhythm when it comes to the ring.

I started boxing class today. Yup, b-o-x-i-n-g. Why all of a sudden boxing, you may ask? Well I've been invited by a friend of mine for a couple of times, and my reason to him was that I'm always too busy and that I'm afraid I might break my wrist and ruin my pulse on shooting. I guess my excuse number one is off my list now, and me breaking my wrist and ruining my pulse can be, ermm, guided.

I induced my pain from my trial session last Tuesday and now I'm back with an unlimited numbers of session for a month. I still can't figure how they hit that thing-hanging-waiting-to-be-punched with so much timing. I'll figure that out. I got excited going back to the gym, I even brought my camera with me (hoping I'd post some pics here and to stop myself from posting stupid words and making people worry with what's happening in my head) only to find out that the battery I brought with me is drained. Pfft! Next time...

Tonight is going to be exciting. Not the way we planned our regular Thursday night, but it can be exciting... for a cause.

I'd like to think that I still have rhythm with other stuff. ;)

Seesaw

I'm too iffy, too erratic.
I'm weirding myself today.
I don't like it.
Or maybe I do.
I just gotta find a way to handle this.
I'm productive, yet bored.
Gotta stop myself posting too much words.
It's too emo.

Kurdon!

I'm wired.
Intertwined.
Scattered.
Messed up.

But I'm connected.

Damn airport express. Ugh.
