Moonlight Shadow

Did I tell you how addicted I am to moons and stars? 
too bad I wasn't able to take a shot of the moon
during the lunar eclipse weeks ago.


That is how beautiful it looked like a night after it.
That same night as the lunar eclipse gave me time
to realize a lot of things as I took time to gaze.
The sky was filled with sky lights.
with stars so bright, I'd trace a name if I had to :)


As I analyzed  things and tried to connect dots
even if they were so far off, a shooting star passed by.
Yes, another thing I am so fond of, but never actually saw one
EVER.... until now...
we were at the rooftop of my classmate's house, stargazing
I was too busy in my own problems that they shouted out
"OMG, a shooting star!"
the exact time I turned my back on the area where it passed.


from that night I challenged myself to stare at the sky
when I have nothing to do, or think of
just to relax once in awhile.. and once I'd...


"Catch a falling star,
and put it in your pocket,
never let it fade away~"


oh nostalgia. why are you doing this to me?
sigh.. the next time I see a shooting star
I want to see it with a person who would
mean a lot to me. may it be family or best friends :)

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is the 10th of November 2011. 
The day when the most beautiful woman I've met on earth was born.
The one who went through all 16 years of my life by my side.
She's now another year older, but she's still beautiful to me.
Always is, always will be. Too bad she's away from me at this moment.
Lying in her bed, maybe with the ceiling lights off,
But as usual with the favorite blue lamp of hers on.
Nope, she isn't afraid of the dark, she just likes to leave it on.
I wonder what she must be thinking at this moment.
Could she be awake, praying the rosary?
Or could she be soundly asleep in her king bed?
Too bad she isn't feeling well..
she couldn't sleep, like when she was here at home aswell.
Ate said they couldn't celebrate because of that.
So on behalf, we celebrated it here aswell.
Imagining that she was here, still... with the family.


I miss her... so much....
oh wait... . who is she, you ask?
Well, she's the loveliest woman alive for me.
and yeap! she's my mom.
mark that.


Friends of mine even liked it when she was around.
Cause mom's the friendly, loving, and fun kind.
especially when she had a box of chocolates!
mhmmm... how delicious they were.


well... enough of food for now.. though I'm a bit hungry..
I just wanted to let you guys all know that..






Even if i'm far away,
I'd celebrate this day.
A day that means so much to her,
once a year, that it occurs.


Three simple words "Happy Birthday mom"
is all for now I'd say.
and ask her guardian angel to keep her safe
each day, i pray.


I love my mom with all my heart,
I'd say it everyday.
though distance may keep us apart
deep in my heart she'll stay.






I LOVE YOU MOM! Happy Birthday. ;) 


-your loving bunso. Continue reading →

Aunt Leonora's 50th Birthday Party

During November 5th's evening, was the celebration of one of our aunts.
She just turned 50 and decided to celebrate it like every 18th birthday of a young lady,
but hers had a theme of gold, like wedding anniversaries when they last 50 years.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE NORIE!

Her daughter, Lisa had traveled all the way from New York to Cebu just for her moms birthday and so did her Husband, Uncle Paul. It was a mix of a surprise programs, but planned celebration.
So Lets just say it was "kinda" a surprise. ;) She had 50 yellow roses and a big bouquet from her husband... although funny part was him holding a glass of beer while walking towards her.


The sisters had planned a program for the guests and celebrants attending.
The presentations were either a song or a dance number per "sala" family.

According to our MC, the Sala Family was a "talented family", ( mark that )
I do believe that. So with talents, we decided to use what we're good at to heat up the party. Oh la la.~


Eventually it were her nephews, nieces, brothers and sisters performing. Of course, I was part of it as well.


First, The Sala's know how to dance!
we had a remix dance number called " If you seek amy, teach me how to dougie on the floor." Aaaand--- No, I am not posting up a video of our presentation for I am ashamed of myself, aaaand the dance ended up being blaaaah. Like any other fail dance would go too, haha.
But what was important was that we had fun, and---- were able to use our steps during disco time. TUGS TUGS TUGS. Haha!
Then we had a dance number from Hanah Deb and her partner Jeffrey, performing "Candy Man" and "Perhaps". Since my cousin Hanah, is into ballroom dancing or what we call "dance sports", she was our personal Dance Instructor for the dance number too! But that's not it!- The Sisters danced "Sway" aswell! on the spot practice! Isn't that awesome? It went well though and they enjoyed it aswell.


Second, The Sala's know how to sing aswell! Again me, Tommy James, Agnes Rose, Patricia Sala, and John Gabriel dedicated our version of "Just the way you are" by bruno mars and "Price Tag" pacquiao version, to our dear celebrant.


Third, Even though he wasn't a Sala by blood but a part of the family, Uncle Itik wrote a poem. Oh diba? ang galing. Too bad I wasn't able to take a shot of it because I was too busy gobbling up the delicious chocolate mousse with a custard like base then whip cream dessert with a cherry on top. Oh gosh, it was too delicious I had 5 shot glasses of them. Din't care if it was just left on the table untouched and no one was sitting there. Hey! It called out for me. ;)


and then finally... when it was almost time to hit the covers, then came the.... TUGS TUGS TUGS TUGS, that woke everyone's spirits and decided to tag along in our CONNGAAAA!~

We enjoyed the train, cool blue-light disco which-turned-white-shirts-into-blue-glow-in-the-darks. :D
On the other hand all men decided to go all manly and hold either a glass or a bottle of beer, if not they must have already vacuumed it all up before getting on stage. But then, since we ran out of time, and we couldn't extend another hour because it was getting late and all they wanted to do was dance, a few decided to go to MO2 ( disco area here in cebu ) but ended up going home first to freshen up. Isn't that funny? Freshening up before going to a disco bar? Well I do find it funny anyways.


Then there ends the night, and comes the dawn. Where we leave November 5 behind and move on to 6, which is Kuya Enggel's Birthday, aaand--- brings us to Sunflower at 12 o'clock in the morning.

The beginning

Oh hello there new blog, guess I'll be sticking to two blog sites now eh? :)
I don't know what got into me now, but.. time check.. it's currently 4 o'clock in the morning,
Now the 6th of  November 2011, and I decided to make a blog, that talks all about my recent hobby.. or favorite pastime...

"Photography" .... it's a big word isn't it? when you try to explain, simply it's just an image that speaks a thousand words, sometimes even more than what an ordinary human can be capable of imagining.

I've decided to make a journal entry about every important event that happens in my life,  may it be occasions, whatsoever I find interesting to cover about, or  just maybe something which brings me and my camera forth to a moment to remember.

So I'll start off at Exactly 4:05 am with my next post about the latest happening...

My dearest aunty Norie Sarkany's 50th Birthday celebration, which now brings me to this inspiring moment
to blog all about it. :)
wish me good luck on this decision.. no regrets. ;) Continue reading →
