…we have learned to love the quaint atmosphere of Newport, Rhode Island. kaya kung may pagkakataon, ito ang GUSTO naming balikan muli…

maraming turista ang nagpupunta dito dahil nar in siguro sa dahilang tinatawag na Ocean state ang Rhode Island. marami ang na-e-engganyong pumasyal sa may dagat. bukod doon, marami ring mga shopping-an!:)

An entry to Litratong Pinoy…GUSTO!

yeah! wait for the comeback of the Celtics you 3-pointer you Kobe! hahaha! what can i say, MVP and he definitely deserves it. but my homey older Celtics players, I still got your six! and we shall return! with a vengeance!!!

Ito ay kuha noong nakaraang Sabado sa Canobie Lake Park kung saan may target shooting at ito ang isa sa mga targets! wehehehe! neat huh? to all Lakers fans, pardon me. it was one great finals, upto the very last few seconds!

Lahok para sa Litratong Pinoy—PAGBABALIK. Abangan din ang aking pagbabalik! saan? I’m also taking this chance to apologize for not doing my own rounds in your entries, but i promise to TRY this time, especially because it’s summa time! no more school for us!!!

..ang ibon.

..hindi nga ba’t ito ang simbulo ng pag-asa?

an entry to Litratong Pinoy…PAG-ASA. hope.

…parang kailan lang…puno ng snow ang kapaligiran. ngayon naman, mainit na. not that i’m complaining. i love it warm and sunny always! hindi ko pa rin maipagpapalit ang nakagisnan natin sa lamig at putik na dulot ng snow.

…maging ang mga bata, alam kong excited sila tuwing parating na ang panahon ng snow pero mas lalo kapag pwede na silang maglaro sa labas maski araw araw tulad nitong nassa larawan kung saan ang dalaginding ko ay dinalaw ng kanyang bestfriend. they spent a few hours together and i know they had the best of times, indoors and outdoors.

An entry to Litratong Pinoy…PAGBABAGO. Pasernsya na sa putol na larawan…i’ve been having problems with WP for months now. i can’t edit/resize photos, i can’t use these post timestamp, etc. it’s slowly crumbling and i don’t know how to fix it!!!! been trying to upgrade to a newer WP version but haven’t had that much luck. Isang PAGBABAGO na matagal ko nang gustong gawin, ang palitan ang WP version na ito! waaahhh!!!!

…one of life’s greatest upside. a gift worth treasuring. just glad that my daughter found this beautiful friendship early on in her life. what they have is so special that even studying in different middle schools cannot break that special bond. love seeing them together last Sunday, doing what they do…and Vicky giving Sam that hug when it was time for her to go home. and as she walked out, Samia said…’maybe in college we’ll be in the same school again.’ maybe…:)

he set of photos where this shot is a part of, is the root of all evil…so to speak, of my recent heartache. the pain of losing a whole lot of good photos in the perfect setting, perfect subject is simply heart stabbing, mind wrenching pain!!! i tell ya! needless to say, i was oh so mad and sad the past days because of this and up until today i just can’t get over it. that said, i have decided to head back to Plimoth Plantation which is a trip to…

“the 17th century!where you can smell a pottage cooking inside a colonial house, or watch a traditional Wampanoag dugout boat being made….ask questions from skilled educators and interpreters. Make your textbooks come alive!”

..anyway…back to the photo. to make a long story short…this shot was one of the reasons why my files had to be deleted from the SD card that day. thinking i have already saved them on my hard drive. we went to this kite fest last Sunday for some family fun in the sun.oh it’s such a whole twisted story really.. i have 3 SD cards…all full. my card reader went dead.  i moved the photos from the said card through a USB, direct from the camera..for the very first time.my hard drive and external hard drive boinked on me too, losing space to save up files.i saw the photos…all of them in one particular folder! they were really good, if i should add. at least as far as i’ve seen in the few seconds i had to view them before we headed out.needless to say, i was rushing out and it sort of prompted me about the memory not enough to save [even send to recycle bin!] so it asked me if i want some files deleted permanently, and yes you guessed it right…i clicked yes. thinking the files are safe in one folder!!!! d’uh!!!!siguro, i just need to pour this all out by blogging about it…gaya ng ginagawa ko ngayon, para makalimutan ko na ang kaga—lingan ko! hahaha! anyway…napalitan naman ng ibang kasayahan ang lahat ng nangyari…sa pamamagitan nitong araw na ito…that was well spent. with the FAMILY! and well documented. more photos to come!

an entry to Litratong Pinoy…PAMILYA! dapat yatang title nitong post ko na ito, ‘ang sakit, sakit!’ ika nga ni bea alonzo sa isang movie..wahahaha!

…sort of. ang ibon na ito ay parang estranghero sa akin kais naman sa dinami dami ng mga ibong nagliparan sa paligid ng bahay namin, ito ang kauna-unahang nagpakuha ng litrato sa akin! madalas ay di ko sila maabutan…subalit ang isang ito, nilapitan ko pa ng kaunti pero nakisama. naaliw lang ako sa kanya. ang bait eh:)an entry to Litratong Pinoy….ESTRANGHERO.

…what the kids had for breakfast today. Champorado with milk spots. S’s favorite breakfast, lunch, dinner! haha!

a comfort food for her especially on this snow spotted day. natuluan ng tubig ang snow sa deck kaya
naging batik batik.

…my snow-spotted car. and at times like these, I can only dream of the sun and spending the day in those Miami Beach condos!

tatlong lahok para sa Litratong Pinoy na may temang…Batik or SPOTS.

…we met up with my cousin Joseph from Seattle over the weekend and had another chance to have a delicious meal at WAGAMAMA. and yes, i still ordered their creamy and slightly spiCy Ebi Kare Lomen and of course paired with a cold bottle of Asahi…the marriage of rainy days and a hearty and warm soup? one can never go wrong with that.

strolling around Boston…you won’t miss Legal Sea Foods right around the wharf.

…along the Marina.

…right by the Aquarium is the ‘T’ sign. Boston’s version of the LRT or MRT or NY’s subway.

…it was a gorgeous rainy day with overcast clouds. that didn’t stop me from shooting though:)

…really? does anyone need a signage for this? only custom headlights! pardon the photo as i was shooting while in a moving ca[h]r!

Lahok para sa na may temang…KARATULA.

it is in fact a wonderful summer-y week we are basking in, and it’s such a pity if we spend the day indoors.  since we’ve had our share of muggy if not oh-so-wet days last week, we are blessed with such a welcoming warm and dry days this time.

if you remember, itong pine na ito rin ang entry ko last week for the WET theme…yun nga lang this time…tuyong tuyo na siya…:)

see what i mean? now we’re off again to embrace the last nicer day of the week! kasi mukhang bibisitahin na naman kami ng ulan bukas!:(

An entry to with a DRY/TUYO theme.
