I’m still here!
Howdee my friends? I should have posted my entry on DSLR challenge the other day but YAY! until now I haven’t compiled them. I just don’t have extra time for that right now. I’m behind already with my submission but I’m targeting to finish them all by Friday. (I hope so!, LOL!)
Anyway, I’ll keep this short. Just make a peep here so you know that I’m still alive and kicking, LOL! I do have lots of photos to share but didn’t resize them yet and just I said I don’t have spare time. Also, I’m looking forward to do layouts soon, I just need do little organizing again because my recent downloads were cluttering.
Okies, Happy Halloween everyone! Tonight we’ll have a Halloween party with friends… and do some treat or trick fun at Times Square… Enjoy the day!
Ciao!
PhotoHunt: Pink


It’s my first time for PhotoHunt meme. And for this week’s theme, I choose this pink monster, which I took this afternoon while strolling around Times Square.
Happy Halloween!
Gift for baby boy
For almost a week now, I’ve been trying to think for a great birthday gift for a one-year-old baby boy. It seems I’m having a hard time this time, hehe… First, I was thinking of a toy, sort of an educational toy for him but looks like most of his party guest gave like this (yes, it’s past tense because the birthday was 2 weeks ago, LOL!… I’m late with my gift already…
)so my second choice would be some baby clothes for him. And since winter season coming soon, I’m thinking of giving long sleeves shirts and maybe a jacket… I’ve seen few shops selling already some winter outfit.
But you know after all these thoughts, I’m not sure which one to buy, LOL! I guess it would be better to ask the mommy, right? I remember when my son turned 1 year old, most of my friends asked me. Hmmm…. that’s a good idea… or maybe I just have to go to the shop and whichever the first thing that would catch my eye then that’s it!
Well, whatever it is, I really have to get this gift ready by Monday because I’ll be meeting the baby boy by Wednesday, hehehe….

Business talk (part2)
If I’ll be given the choice to work at home or in the office, of course I would prefer the first one. Something like a home based business. It could be hard though when you’re starting but once you get the hang of it then everything else should be easy. My husband and I were actually considering different options for a home based business, so that when the time comes that we decided to go back to Manila for good, we still have source of income. Like what I said on my business talk down below, we listed different types that we intend to put up for a business. Hopefully we could get enough savings for this project.

Business talk
I was pondering what could be a good business once we move back to our hometown. As what I have read before, passion is one main ingredient in business. If you don’t have the interest or the enthusiasm, then most likely it will be a failure. In other words, doing what you love to do.
For a start, I listed down different category that I enjoy doing. For now, I have a long list but I’m sure as I go on this list will narrowed down into one or two. I know it will take time because entering into business means planning, market research, checking all the resources and most important focus. So, that needs a lot of preparation. Well, for now I just have to take one at a time and slowly aiming for that goal.
more photo shots
I tried taking photo to practice more of the aperture priority.
The results below… they are the same flower but I tried taking on different aperture value…



Thanks for looking!

10-Minute beauty makeup
Last week I chanced upon an article for quick tips in putting make-up. Yes 10 minutes is what all it takes. Actually I seldom wear full makeup. Most of the time I only have a lip gloss, a powder, sometimes with eye color then that’s it. And though those are just few, it took me so long in front of my makeup mirrors, LOL! So then these quick tips were just timing, and I was able to figure out how to put on makeup for only 10 minutes and be possibly beautiful ![]()
Note to self: read again the article
