Junior Then and Now

Found from the web a high school class picture of my dad from Ateneo De Naga. It was so funny to see my dad so ugly in high school! Hahaha. Couldn't imagine he looked like that and turned out to be my handsome Papa now. Hehe.

Josef's Portfolio

again, being a proud ate, i've dug my brother's portfolio and posted excerpts here. this is the one he submitted to ad agencies when he was applying for OJT. he got accepted at 5 but chose only these 2: Publicis (P&G's ad agency) and Y&R. the good thing is he got paid P250/day for these internships aside from learning valuable things he'll be able to use once he starts in the real world. btw, of these artworks and those i posted in a previous album, he got paid for them, too. and he gives our mom 20% for every earning he gets, even though we never told him to kasi naman kaya nga he's doing commission work is for his own money because the allowance i give to him is just enough for food and transpo. kaya we feel really blessed na on his own, he's giving a percentage of his earnings na kahit student pa lang sya. =)

.... i swear i'll kill whoever tells him that i posted these here!!! =P                                             

Wella Photo Shoot

My bosses asked me to take picture of our new Wella Team for our upcoming Wella Business launch. This is, by far, the most enjoyable work they've given me. Here are the pics. =)

Animated Yava

This is what you get when you have artists as parents. Pwede nilang gaguhin ang baby pictures mo. Hahaha. Animation done by Sajico, Yava's mommy. =)

Papa's 62nd Birthday

Papa's birthday celebration last Friday with our whole family. I think my father's greatest gift this year is his granddaughter who enjoys him as much as he enjoys her. Yava's morning routine would always be talking to my father and Papa is the only one in the family who could make her laugh so loud. I'm glad my dad now has his 2nd girl to cheer him up everyday while I'm far from him. In a conceited daughter manner, I would say my dad is enamoured by Yava because she looks like me! Hahaha. =)

A Day At The Spa

A friend of mine gave me and Miguel a full-day spa voucher and a free full-course meal at the spa's cafe as a late wedding gift. I was already grateful enough to be getting a free massage in this expensive city but was ecstatic it turned out to be in a luxurious spa. Even Miguel, who usually doesn't enjoy spas, was so amazed with this one and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Pls bear with the extremely crappy picture quality of my Nokia phone.

Little Tintin's Visit to the Doctor

My niece, Yavanna's, monthly check-up yesterday when she turned 3 months old. Her doctor was my doctor when I was a baby, and this very, very nice lady doctor is now 81 years old! Amazing, right? She's now doing these check-ups to keep her busy but not charging any of her patients anymore so imagine her paying for her clinic's rent and staff's salary from her own pocket. Now that's what you call passion!
