around march this year we went to the annual HK flower show. i've been consistently going to this show ever since i got to HK. i have less number of beautiful photos this year. not sure if it's my decreasing enthusiasm to take photos back then, or there were really less beautiful subjects to capture. i was with friends and we were able to finish the show in an hour. this is my favorite shot from that group. i think the flowers were captured quite well on that metal ball. i want to keep taking photos for the rest of my life!!!

because the baby is now a lady... aawww, my little girl is really all grown up. she's taller than me now, i think. i could still remember how i used to borrow her from my mom and i would carry her in my arms. now she's got constant textmates and she hates her teachers, who used to be my teachers also. now i feel old.

we went to see an international volleyball match (FIVB, hk leg). it's my favorite sport to watch. i think it's the most exciting game. i was with a and we were so into trash talking as if we belong to the country of the players. he won the first match, i did on the second. all the same we were pda-ing all throughout the game. good times!

sorry but it's very late and i still have a meeting tomorrow.

ill share with you the camera shot that i have from the THE SCRIPT concert that the whole gang went to last april. they were ok, i liked the projected images at the background. my heart beat when they sang 2 songs that i liked. but if they were to hold a concert again and the ticket is just a fraction of what i paid last time (we got the expensive standing ticket), i would not waste my time. still, good times!

this is about the yogathon i did earlier this year. i mentioned about it on my older posts but never really told the story. it was on a sunday and i came from a very late night out with friends. the call time was at 11am but i had to wake up earlier because it is quite far from where i live. this would be the first time that i'd be doing outdoor yoga. just imagine the direct sunlight, dusty street, and constant distraction from people going around everywhere. it's just against all that is yoga.

it's an 8hr affair. participants could always go for much less as the event consisted of 8 x 1hr yoga sessions sponsored by different yoga centers. i've always had the intention to finish all the 8hrs. i've been addicted to yoga ever since the year started and i think this would be one of the turning points that would indicate if i really liked it or not. i was close to giving up after the fourth hour. imagine being there since 11am, then you miss your lunch and afternoon snack, and you know you'd be exhausted to take dinner. but i somehow managed to pull myself through and i looked at is as half-empty half-full analogy. i was halfway finished. just a little more effort and i could finish my goal. and i did. im glad i did. there were so many useless challenges/dares in my life that i dont really have to do, but i did anyway... but this feat is really one of a kind and im happy i didnt fold.

why?

1) im doing this for the breast cancer foundation
2) it is my form of salutation to yoga, the hobby that kept me sane and grounded for all of 2011. nothing could ever give me much peace than yoga.
3) i'd take it as the most taxing physical activity i've had so far
4) when i posted this photo in facebook, A commented for the first time and he kept liking my posts eversince. and the love story began. :)

thank you yogathon!!!

hey guys, im back. this is the first day that i am living my life as a 28 year old woman so i thought of reviving this project.

this is our most recent family pic. i took this when we were on our last family vacation in cebu last year.

we're not the ideal family, but we get along very fine. we had a rough start. well im not saying it's a good situation now, but we are better off. if i were to live my life again, i would still want my mama and papa to be my parents and i would not trade my sister. i am what i am now because of the constant love from the three people in this picture.

my beau said

we are MFEO, baby.

kilig ;)

he's one of the most serious guys i know and when he goes teenage sweet i kinda get swept away.

it feels nice to be loved!
