new kid on the block

The newest addition to our family will be a month old in a couple of days. Although I'm not sure if technically, that's true. Since February had only 28 days.

The day I visited, 20 February 2013, she spent most of the time feeding and burping.

not silver linings playbook

I did not blog for the entire month of February. Actually, I could not. Starting the last week of January until just a few days ago, I was undergoing what can only be described as a "dental drama".

Tell me, how many people are already in their 40s and still growing new teeth?

For almost a month, the pain made me want to stab myself in the eyeball. But now I'm better. And the movie that I saw this afternoon totally deserves to be blogged about.

birthday boy

Guess who else celebrated his birthday this month?

The festivities lasted an entire week. He started with Kalibo's Ati-atihan on 18 January 2013.

For three days, he shook his booty.

gratitude

Five things that I was grateful for yesterday:

1. Good health and good weather. I've learned to not take them for granted.

2. That the stock market was closed and I didn't have to watch $AAPL circle the drain. Oh, I still believe in Tim Cook. I just wish more people did. That's the company's problem right now, in a nutshell.

3. That my beloved Harman Kardon worked perfectly. Thank you, Mr. DJ and Wikireena!

paoay church, ilocos norte

Mention "Ilocos" and I immediately think of Paoay Church. Iconic is an understatement.

I had been here before, but that was when my trusty Panasonic Lumix LX3 had not yet entered my life. I was extremely grateful to have a second chance to shoot this UNESCO World Heritage Site. I must say that the recent landscaping efforts have really brightened up the place.
