Jesus.

at the end of all of this, ill be taken home to the One i live for.

my most intimate times with Jesus aren't spent talking about how i've been with my life. instead, it's about Him and me, Him and nobody/nothing else. that's always how it goes. there is absolutely nothing else in this world that should take His place. i always end up so convicted yet also so comforted by His love and His promise.  

i pray that all my energy will be spent to glorify Jesus. i pray that the rest of my life will be to seek Him with all my heart, to love Him with abandon. i pray that my soul will not rest until i see His face.

i love you Jesus. thank You for holding me tight. You are my only one.

ps: switchfoot's song restless stirs me up every. single. time. i suggest you listen to it prayerfully, and God will meet you right where it's all beautiful.

almigirl's bday/housewarming party

when it comes to creative, kewl and cutesie stuff, almi makes it to my list which im not even part of. :p last week, we all trooped to their apartment to warm it up and make some noise (sorry neighbors). we played some mean jenga (mean as in trashtalking each other, leng mostly), ate food almi and kim prepared, and talked nonstop as we always do.

jenga before destruction

pansinin ang intensity :p

ang tagaligpit :p 

amazing photobooth/wall by almi+kim

thanks for the warm welcome bday girl almi and kim! :) till next week! :p

ps: almi gave us an assignment which ive been trying to accomplish for a good 30 minutes already. will make a pahabol post about it na lang. hehe. :)

pps: my good friend gaby blogged about Gail Bitoon Photography. read it here! also in the blog is my pretty sis-in-law feb and my prettiest mom-in-law portia. it's like the whole family is in the industry. haha!

mondays are for blogging

times are a-changing. back then, i had to restrain myself from spending too much time in this blog. now, i have to discipline myself so i can use a few of my free time in this little webspace. i checked my photos for upload and i still have about 4 or 5 folders from 2011, with my 2012 photo hamper getting filled fast. hey, at least i have the proofs. if all else fails ill upload them all to facebook.

but im not giving up on this blog, not yet. not when i know some changes are gonna happen in the near future (new blog layout and a rockin domain name, plus more time for blogging!). so i carry on.

gail and i are home together, and we've been locked in since yesterday just daydreaming about the great things that have been happening and are about to happen. God is faithful. just this morning we heard from a prospect that she's turned into a client. yay! i sure hope more people get married and more of them get gailee as their photographer. i promise to do my part (make sure he comes to the wedding with pressed clothes and a filled tummy). click here to see his works.

so, im still beating arond the bush because i cant think of how to transition to today's set of photos: our wedding anniversary food. tagal na kasi so it seems irrelevant already. anyway (talagang anyway lang ang nakayanan kongn transition :p) we went to red at the shangri-la makati, where nakasalubong namin si ryan agoncillo *silent scream* and we had pangmayaman food.

seriously, food was expensive and tiny. haha! im so sorry but this girlperson right here is far from being a foodie. good thing they have good fries. i mean, they have the mean kind of fries that tastes pangmayaman but still very comforting, like i wanted to slouch a little while we were in the presence of posh. dont take my words seriously ha, im faaaar from being a credibly food feedback-giver. what ill tell you is that if you want some alone dinner time where you can cry a little (the place was super dimly lit) and tell each other "i love you", this is a great place for that. great  if you want to see ryan agoncillo too. hehe.

ill stop talking and just show you the beautiful (albeit expensive and no match compared to galunggong) photos of the food we ingested. i cant recall their names anymore. :| but i had so much fun taking the photos so here they are!

this one we remember: wild tasmanian trout 

the name starts with "spinosi omega 3..." all their pasta dishes do.  :p
