Blinks: Our Red Hot Wreath

We haven’t done Blinks in so long but I’ve actually been taking lots of pictures lately with my phone. Thanks to Instagram, a Twitter-like application but with pictures. I have a slew of post-processing apps on my phone now and it’s pretty amazing. Additionally, because it’s like Twitter with followers and stuff, I learned so [...]

Blinks: Nebula

I confess. I am not entirely satisfied with the iPhone. For a got-my-hands-full woman like me, its inability to multi-task is a great turn off. But, one of the things I actually like about the iPhone are the photo apps. They just make the PhotoShop non-wizard me look like I have been editing photos for [...]

Blinks: Red

Last year, September 25, 2009, was a day of red. It was the color assigned for Captain Awesome’s class for the Salu-Salo, which was some sort of family day in Ateneo. A mini-program was held in the classroom along with some games before and after lunch/snack. After the classroom shindig, families went off their way to [...]

Blinks: One Year Ago

One year ago from today, Chef and I legalized our commitment to each other and our relationship. Our civil wedding was held in the beautiful San Francisco City Hall.

We encourage them to have fun, we tutor them with their lessons, we do everything we can to help them realize their dreams. We tell them that they can be [...]

Blinks: Kiddos

photo: Ms B taken: April 2008, Tagaytay Highlands, Philippines I’m really missing these three kiddos right now. Not just them individually. More like the whole chaos. I really wish that there will come a time when bringing my whole family together is so easy. I want the security of knowing that the whole bunch is [...]

Blinks: Run

photo & post processing: Ms C taken: January 2010, Caleruega, Philippines There was a time in our life when wandering is a sign of intelligence; staring blankly, a sign of curiosity. Then there’s the running aimlessly for the heck of it. It was fun. We felt the wind against our face, blowing our hair. It [...]

Blinks: Cafe on the Foothills of Mt. Tibidabo

photo: Ms B taken: May 2009, Barcelona, Spain In the past two days, two people I know who do not know each other posted a famous line from FRIENDS that Joey Tribbiani aka Ken Adams, uses to seduce the ladies. He taught Ross about it, and apparently also Rachel. And because of it, who came [...]

Blinks: Frozen Milk + Cream + Sugar

photo: Ms C taken: December 2008, Manila, Philippines It’s a tradition we, strangebyday and I, have: to shop for Christmas gifts together before all the holiday party, lunch/dinner or whatever invitations come pouring. In the process, we try out new restaurants in the mall. Five Cows is a semi hole-in-the-wall kind of dining place located [...]
