photo loco

tinkering with the i-phone and wowing at its capabilities

I have found my favorite app ever!!!

the lomolomo allows you to mimic the effects of different types of lomo cameras, switch "lenses" and share it on tumblr, twitter, fb etc...

I am hooked and have decided to make this a daily thing

so here are some photos that I want to share with you guys!

(we have been so busy all my photos are of my colleagues that I have been seeing every single day)

when I was younger

I just remembered recently, when I was younger I didn't want to be a princess nor be a movie star. I wanted to be a gypsy, a fortune teller maybe, even a hint of a witch.

all grown up now but still haven't let go of that...

Twas that day spent at Greenbelt, resting after walking around visiting each store that I have finally decided. Seated at Toast Box eyeing the window display of Gingersnaps, I had a flicker of inspiration. Yep carnival theme for this year! Although we didn't plan a party for C's 4th (hubby put his foot down - we cannot throw a party every year) I still felt the need to make it as special as possible!

Yesterday was a light day for work, brought along my laptop and I was tinkering with the possibilities on how to design a backdrop. I would be needing one for the dinner I was planning with fam. Rudolph saw me and pitied me I think. After much effort I gave in and let him do it. After all he did finish multimedia arts.

so that's the result of what took him a few hours (would have taken me days and still wouldn't have been able to achieve this) super happy and grateful!!! Now thinking of more things I can ask him to do! (kidding) Although If you have noticed I did change my header! Thanks to him again! =)

Silly Sundays

Gospel for today rang clear - waste time with your family.

Yes WASTE was the term the priest used since even doing nothing with family is worth it,

every second of it.

My SUNDAYS are indeed made for that =)

its all about the details

I obsess in getting my hands on one of a kind accessories that truly make one's outfit unique, easily stand out, define you. Recently I am so frustrated since I haven't taken that trip out of town that usually allows me to acquire such prized possessions. Its been awhile, I actually feel that I am in a rut in that field (I have that big mole in my foot that tags me as layas) Anyway this experience has taught me a lot in working with what I've got. No need to go far just make things your own. I have been surrounded by people with different points of view and strong personalities - very inspiring indeed.
