really touch. it’s been 2 days since we got back from a 4-day fun-filled and gastronomic Connecticut vacation which started off with my niece’s wedding on Sunday. i even had the privilege to act as secondary photographer which is great. tiring but great. so far so good outcome too. this is what i am supposedly be working on right now, post processing so i can show you how it turned out and submit the final copy to the couple and of course, post on my photography website. it hasn’t been updated for months and it’s about time i do so. this hobby is slowly turning into a professional endeavor for me. i hope soon i can have my own photography business.

i’ll have to start off with unpacking though! haha! nah, i have started and it’s no fun. doing the first load of laundry and i don’t look forward to more. but then again, nobody will do it, and i can’t work in a conducive manner when my world is a big mess. ahhh!!! i miss binging and chatting and just playing, pure fun and family time is always the best!

…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!!!

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!

…since i missed last week’s theme, i’m trying to make amends by posting early today! yeehaw! plus, i have been looking forward to this theme. i might have a bunch of photos that will fit perfectly, but i decided to post something that is very fresh..just out. nope not from the oven this time though hehe!the photo above is a piece of rock from the American’s first landing on the moon at the time of President John F. 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”.

…read more about it here. my only regret during the trip to the museum? i forgot to get me one of those custom mugs that i collect! arrrghhh!!!

…we will be having more fun in the sun! can’t wait for summer to finally come. but i’d settle for spring for now too!:)
what should’ve been a photo of the day is again turning out to be a Photo of the Week now! sheesh!:) soon!

…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.

humuhusay na rin lumangoy maski na wala pa syang pormal na training. isa sa mga activities na tunay namang na-e-enjoy nilang dalawang magkapatid.

…ang aking dalaginding. a proud mom, that’s me!:)
lahok para sa LitratongPinoy, na may temang…HUSAY!

…something that we all look forward to when we go for a night or so hotel living, or should i say living of reality for a few days. when we get away to unwind a little. when we forget about everything behind to have room service, a nearby pool to wade in and yes…eat all you can breakfast!

…and i love love love this muffin! yummm-eeehhh! i even got another one with blueberries to go! haha!

…we can never have complete breakfast without the scrambles right?

this one’s S’s bagel. definitely with cream cheese.
had to end it all with a bowl or two of fresh fruits! no photo though, sorry..i decided to enjoy the last few bites without the camera getting in the way.:)

…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.
