Photos: PPA Convention, Tagaytay January 24-27, 2012

Taal Vista Hotel, January 26, 2012.

The place was really nice. This was at 8AM, when I was just going around to take pictures... the place itself is pretty. My photos don't do it justice, but when I say pretty, and calm, and peaceful (and super windy!), I really meant it.



That's Taal Volcano in the background. The venue was just my kind of space...lots and lots of wide open spaces, and photo options. 

That's Taal Volcano, a "Volcano within a Lake." <-- Dayanara Torres said something to this effect earlier.

Taal Vista has a Walden Pond type of feel...no doubt this guys things so too. :-)



Pre- or Post- performance. Can't remember. :-)


"The Lings", minus Bien...who was SROD at the time. :-p

"Mga Anak ni SBV"? ;-)
Oh, and I got to meet Margie Holmes. Isn't that cool too?

After we did our dance number. :-) (We won 3rd place, though. hehe)

Oh, and guess what. Promise was there..."Gilagid" smile and all! :-)

(there were other happenings, on that "last thursday night". haha.)
We had a great time.

Love,

S.

Pops and Ma at Lemuel's Wedding. December 30th, 2011. Photo By: S.


Two of the funniest people I know...  :-)

(For someone born only two months after my mother, my father really likes to make fun of their age differences...saying that he married a [much] older woman. Go figure.)

Happy 31st Anniversary, Mader and Pops!

We love you!

- Phanie and Donskie.

(Ma was born December 13th, and Pop, February 22. What a difference two months makes...haha.)

Photo: Promise at 9 months

One afternoon, Promise visited the callroom right before getting her due shots. She looked really cute in a pink tutu and a be-ribboned top. This is me having fun with her while waiting for her "mummy" to finish seeing her patients.
My godchild Promise is now 9 months old. (Where'd all the time go? :-))




 
One of my friends told me, "S., if you're going to be dating this year, maybe you shouldn't post so many pictures of you holding babies. Baka they'll think you're a mom or something..." And i'm like, "Oh, eff that...why wouldn't i want to post a picture as gooey gooey with Ninang-Baby love as this one?" 

(Promise was in a good mood on this day, I suppose. However, I also look forward to having the "best shoulders" when the time comes Promise needs one. :-)

(I love the little chipmunk! :-))


Love,


S.

Sendong.


This made me want to cry.
I didn't realize it was that bad.
The thing about not seeing what is really happening, or knowing the real truth kind of makes you  detached.
And I regret not having done anything.
I have friends from Cagayan de Oro, and one of them, Michelle, lost some of her relatives.
And Keith, who lived in the city.
And 'Nong Bingo.
And Collen, NakNak and Jigs who were training there...
And I remember another who had a house near a river.

I hope...and think everything is ok.

i can't do anything about it. :-(

This is getting to be a weekly thing, when we have free time.

(I do the court reservations.)

Photo: Sunset in the Sky

Sunset in the Sky. January 1, 2012. Photo By: S.

I love the fiery, but nonetheless quiet, drama of sunsets...

...and I have to say that although my flight got delayed to Manila got delayed and we had to hover for almost an hour in midair, I liked the fact that I ended up with a pretty picture (well, pictures, actually. :-)).

Sunsets can be pretty symbolic;  the end of a good day, the prequel to a new one, or it can be just a plain sentimental memory, like maybe a beautiful sunset shot off Rizal Boulevard. But this one's pretty different, because, for one thing, i took it up in the sky.  :-)

How often does one get to catch that?

(At least, not for me, most of my trips have been early in the morning, or in the middle of the afternoon.)

:-)

It seems like an unconventional sunset picture...with clouds and more clouds in the horizon. 

I take that as a lucky omen.

An unconventional sunset...to symbolize an unconventional, but hopefully good, year ahead?

I hope so. :-)

Happy New Year. :-)

Love,

S.




Photos by: Me. :-)

Oh, and some family pictures thrown in. Not everyone could make it, though. But doesn't green look totally...funky fresh? :-)



:-) Love. Fun.
