"A Mother's Watchful Eye"

This photograph practically says it all . . .

I love you Ai . . . Thanks for everything . . .

"3 x 3"

Just finished downloading pics from my camera. Obviously, all these are of my daughter Haley, hehehe.

Just wanted to share what I made by combining 9 photographs of my very cute and sleeping Moira Haley. Being just one month old, I find it really amazing how she already has so many facial expressions.

And each expression grips you the minute you see it.

It is indeed a great day to be a Dad!!!

"The Famous Stretch"

From the moment I saw Haley stretch before waking up, I knew that she had inherited one of my traits. For I also do a super-stretch right before I wake up that leaves my face red, hahahahaha. Nag mana sa akin tong si Haley sa pag-unat. =)

No wonder my daughter has already grown 3 inches in just over a month. Time does fly, she's already one month old and getting heavier by the day. Imagine, she gained 2 pounds in just a month, hahahahaha.

That's all for now. Hey, it's a great time to be a Dad!!!

"Ram's First Birthday"

Tops and Dang were both all smiles yesterday as their son Ram celebrated his very first birthday at Outback Steakhouse along Libis. There were balloons, stuffed toys, magicians, talking birds, and of course an albino python, going with the main theme of the day, which was The Outback.

It was an enjoyable event, as even the older ones got entertained by the antics of the magician and his puppet, Tonton. What can I say? Good food, good company, good job!!!

Congratulations again to Tops and Dang! Happy birthday again to you, Ram!

"Brian & Vanessa's Prenup Shoot"

Last December 28, 2005, Ninong Erik, Gerry D and myself went to Intramuros for a prenup shoot of one of my wife's clients. It was my first time to do an actual shoot, and obviously, I had no clue on how to handle things. Unlike Ninong, I was a rookie in this field, and was really having a hard time making the couple pose and catching the right photos on digital film.

But hey, we all have to start somewhere right? Many thanks to Gerry D and Ninong for all the tips and support they shared with me that day. At least, at the end of the shoot, Brian and Vanessa were both pleased with the results. In fact, all the people who attended their wedding all liked the photos as well, and even asked who the photographers are, hehehe.

It was indeed a learning experience worth getting sore arms for, hehehe. Thanks Brian and Vanessa, for also trusting us with your prenup shoot. Congratulations again!
