Fun Shot : Prelude to Snorkeling

I think I mentioned in my previous post that I have aqua phobia. It has always been a struggle for me to overcome this fear, and so I'm posting this photo which was taken a few minutes before I finally took the plunge, er, at DJ Beach Resort, Occidental Mindoro. The place is surrounded by the pristine blue waters coming from the South China Sea, and I'm glad that this was where I was "baptized" into the wonderful aqua hobby of snorkeling ;op

That was me in pink swimming top / pink and chocolate brown board shorts by the way :-p

Contemplating how to float in this ten-feet deep aqua paradise

Convert

I'll have to "blame" Mr. M for this.

Constant conversations with Mr. M. about dogs suddenly proselytized me into the world of these wonderful four-legged creatures. I suddenly found myself wanting to have and cuddle cute little puppies! Too bad, because of my severe allergy to fur, dog / cat hair, dust, and other particles, not to mention the fact that none from this family would want a canine within our backyard, I just have to content myself with these pics :

Belat!!! Hehehehe

Can I have one of these?

Adorable white beauties

Hahahaha!!! This cutie gets a cameo appearance at a couple's engagement shoot

Awwww :-)

She looks fierce but still cute.

I want to bring you home!

Talk about getting kissed in the cheek!
Doggie plays with the baby.

Seryoso masyado

Nice wedding detail ---- a bride and groom pug (or bulldog?)

Are you sad?

I guess I'm happy to have been converted into a dog lover ;-)

Photo Op

Hello.
We just had our graduation last Friday, March 30, 2012.
Guess who came to grace our event? :-)

It's a good thing Maricris had the presence of mind to tell me to bring out my camera, or else we wouldn't have this souvenir :-)

Jules @ 40

14 December 2008
Gumbo, The Atrium, SM Megamall

He had no idea how hard it was to act. Hehe :) Pang-FAMAS talaga ang pagkukunwari namin na di namin naalalang birthday nya.

He thought it was just a quiet late afternoon lunch-meryenda at Gumbo, SM Megamall. We chatted endlessly, ate voraciously (yummy pizza!), snapped picture after picture, and then...

...ta-dan!

Happy Birthday, Kuya Jules! Gumbo's staff helped us in springing the surprise at him.

He thought it was just the cake, but we still had more tricks up our sleeves...

...40 gifts to a guy who just turned 40 today! (Looks can be a bit deceiving hehehe)

Happy, happy birthday, Kuya Julius! Thank you for being a godly influence :)

Birthday Boy + Cool Camera

Gumbo's greetings

Yummy!

Yes, it's his 40th :)

40 gifts to commemorate the special day

Jules: "Ang dami-dami kong bubuksan! Yey!"
Evelyn: "Umpisa pa lang yan. 39 pa!!"

Uh, Indiana Jones?!?

Therese shows off her gifts.

Brad displays his Kipling mini bag.

Look what I got! Yummy goodies from Lord Stow's Bakery :)

Peach towelettes for Ate Evelyn

Anne, Master Jules and Jo

Julie + Lala

Moi, Julie and Lala

Hala at magsalawahan sa sarap ng mga choices :-D

Hay. Ang sarap mag food trip :)

Ubos agad ang pizza ah...

Let's try this next time: Kebab Factory!?!

Gumbo, SM Megamall

Yummy food + reasonable pricing

Don't Grow Up Yet, Little Ones

That my nephews and niece rock my world is probably inaccurate.
I say, we [in the family] adore them.
Every one of us is excited to see them all the time.
Don't grow up yet, little ones. Please?
