I didn’t enjoy starbucks coffee, I am no coffee drinker anymore.  I drank Ant’s tea instead.  And then I lay down opposite to him again, and took a nap with him.

It’s not that I am counting but, I need to get ready for our day 3.  I was soak and tired and hungry.  I ate and hope will get a nap with Ant on his hospital bed.

I couldn’t get enough of them, my blackberry was really doing great even at low light but if  my Yashica has a flash, I wouldn’t resist to use it either.  that is if I am allowed to.

on the other side of note

every before or after monday, i received an email from Manic Monday, a weekly monday post topic, none of them, I did.  This week, some bloggers tackled about books

I read books, a habit that I learned to practice just recently, sometimes I feel that I don’t have the authority to talk about books, but I know one person who definitely has.

when you read kala’s post on good nights,bad nights on a perfect day for bananafish, you will have the feeling that you are reading your favorite book.  I love that girl.

it is tuesday but you can still answer these questions from manic monday meme”

Has reading a book ever changed your life? Which one and why, if yes?

Name one book you had to read but hated, and explain why you hated it.

If you could pick a book you’ve read to make into a movie, which one would you choose?

I only want to answer the third.  I guess Tara Road movie is better than on that book, it wasn’t interesting when I was reading it, i just feel obliged to finish it.

Did I answer the third or you pretty much know my answer on the second?

Just finished The Pilot’s Wife and I like it.

Photos by ME

Although I started shooting when I got my very first camera phone, which wasn’t long ago, I call myself a noob when it comes to photography. People might be having a second thought of following “a photographer” to my name, but I am braved enough to say that it is the path that I want to follow through.

I am a noob and I am obsessive in taking photos, like I took the photo above and one hundred more (no, I’m joking) while I was standing in the middle of the rain.

I stopped before somebody notices me and horrifically charging me the invasion of their privacy.

I am a noob, that’s why I am jumping with joy when somebody appreciates and gives high regards of my photos.

I am also in static when a person will ask me for tips on how to get good photos or where to start. What will I say?

I said:

• Don’t get confused with the gadget, it doesn’t matter. In fact, my blackberry is nothing compare to his Canon Powershot SX110, a good photography is not measured with the gadget, by the way.

• Photography is subjective, it is how you see it and don’t depend on how other will say, for a start believes in yourself and others will believe in you.

• You take pictures that not say that you were there; you take pictures that tell stories.

• Start seeing, imagine and then create. Those are the three that explain what photography is.

• Never stop taking pictures. In a thousand of photos, you’ll get yourself a hundred that you will surely like.

• And last but not the least, READ YOUR MANUAL, make it your reference.

• And there is a million of tips that I, myself, needs to learn.

Photo taken with blackberry

When I said that I am getting used to commute now, it is not as if I’m doing a round of the city most of my time, I have been out lately, and that’s why.

Although I still wished to live in an interesting community, with lots of character, as some people say, where I can only walk to a cafe and some small shops in every corner, a book store or a library maybe, things are just fine even I  have to take a bus to get there, or walk… somehow.

Right now (as of writing this) I was minding four kids plus Anthony’s three year old nephew. Five all of them.

It is so nice of my beau’s sister to leave the kids to me on their nap time, but I don’t care if they are all up.  That’s what I am good at, playing with little angels.

Since they are all napping, I feel that I have all the time for myself and I now having the lust for writing, just simply writing.

It was very un-ME that I was looking for a paper to write on. Sometimes I have a book and I have nothing to say…or write. It was freeing though, a very warm feeling that I am writing right now. How I wish that I am doing it right now on a notebook and writing myself with a pen. Oh, how I love to do that.

And my camera, it was silly of me to leave my memory card. Now I can’t take any photos for today.

(Key-in on my blackberry at 1 PM at Kelly’s couch while watching House Hunter – one of my favorite at HGTV -right after tucking Kennedy back to her little mattress. Poor little girl, she might just had a bad dream. She woke up and cried but now sleeping like an angel again.)
