it’s been two years.
Last week, our little family turned into 2 years old. I thank God and I feel so blessed and grateful for my amazing husband. He’s perfect for me in every way :) The husband and I decided to just go out to eat. Simple, but it was one of the most enjoyable celebration ever. We went to Daddy Jack’s, a local seafood restaurant with relaxing atmosphere, greatest service, and SUPERB food (and generous portion too!). I just loved it. The husband usually complains a bit whenever we go to a fine-dining restaurant ’cause most of their portion are tiny. He surely did not complain a bit last week.


Sorry, I didn’t even bother making sure to get the food shot perfectly ’cause all I wanted to do at the time was to start eating! And believe me, that dinner did NOT cost us a fortune. We’ll definitely be back!
Then, about a few days after, one of our good friends who has just turned into a photography aficionado offered to take our photos to build his portfolio. What a nice coincidence, so we happily agreed. I was excited because I had some cute ideas in mind to bring out our personality in the images.
So, here we go.

It’s “heartfelt” :)





The banner on the shot below came from a baby shower decoration I did last year. Remember?




Last but not least, my favorite of all, just ’cause this shot is “so us” :)

Hello world! I’m back. After a month and a half filled with relaxation, cheap spa, sauna, and massages, weekly trips of hair spa and manicure-pedicure, fully-fed bellies, I’m back to a lonely one bedroom apartment in the midst of ridiculously hot summer, left with 800+ unread items on my Google Reader (still working on it! :)). Here I am again, and I’m ready to be inspired and be productive!
I’m going to start by these lovely, lovely stuffs I found at BLTD, which is such a cool and addictive site. Visit them and I’m sure you’ll agree with me :)
