…marahil ang tanong ninyo ngayon ay…ano ang ginagawa ng pagmumukha ng anak ko dito sa temang ito? simple! isa sa mga disadvantage ng pagiging self-proclaimed mommyrazzi ay ang katotohanang ang mga anak natin ay sawang sawa nang naririnig ang pangalan nila para lamang makunan sila ng larawan. maya maya, paulit ulit. smile, look…ayaw na ayaw na nilang marinig yang mga katagang yan! hindi ba totoo? as in!!! kaya naman ang picture na ito ay nagbigay ng kaligayahan sa akin, dahil paminsan minsan sinuswerte ako na para bagang may instant SWITCH ON ang mga anak ko at bigla nalang silang makikisama sa kanilang mommy, and i get to capture these precious moments…so to speak. sarap ng pakiramdam!…pero may isa pa akong lahok! eto ang aking paboritong gadget ever! ang aking ever reliable Iphone……isang pindot lamang dito, kung saan saan na ako nakakarating! mapa umaga pag gising…sa gabi, bago matulog…maging sa gitna ng gabi kapag ako ay nagising, kinakapa ko ito sa ilalim ng unan ko at ..hello! PINDOT ulit! hehe!lahok para sa Litratong Pinoy…PINDOT/SWITCH!

Kennedy’s very short reign.

The U.S. space program went full throttle in 1961 when President John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to claim a leadership role in space and land a man on the Moon before the end of the decade. The Soviet Union, America’s rival in the Cold War, had surged ahead of the United States with spectacular achievements in space that struck fear into the hearts of many American citizens. Soviet leaders hailed these feats as a triumph of Communism. When a leading American physicist was asked what would be found on the Moon, he replied, “Russians”.

…the cinnabuns made recently, all by herself. yes it may be another out of the tin goody but i can’t help but still be proud. from popping the tin, arranging in the cookie sheet, turning on the oven! and taking them out..to serving a piece to her mom..me! all on her own.

ang band ring na ito ay akin! akin na ngayon. malungkot man isipin, ibinigay ito sa akin ng mama ko noong huling bisita nila dito sa amin sa Massachusetts halos 2 taon na ang nakakaraan. alam nya na type na type ko itong singsing na ito, dahil kanya ito. maski na inaalok nya sa akin ito noon, hindi ko tinatanggap dahil alam kong gusto rin nya ito. ang nakapagtataka nga lang pilit nya itong ibinigay sa akin sa kahuli hulihang pagkakataon. hindi ko rin alam kung bakit sa panahong iyon, akin na rin itong tinanggap. malungkot. na masaya kasi napasa-aKIN na rin itong minimithi kong palamuti!
