The Story of my Life

Hello!!! Yes, I am still alive. Yes, I am still fabulous.

I know...I know... I know... I know I owe you a lot of updating. I've been busy attending to so many things since the start of 2012, I barely have enough time to update my blog.

I've been busy being a mom, a wife, a woman of the house, an employee, and all sorts of different things. As much as I'd like to talk about what I've been up to, I really can't find the time. :(



What I can only give you now are snippets of what kept busy early in the year:

1. My little girl is growing really fast. She has four teeth now. Two on the upper and two lower front teeth. She's also learning to walk. She's a doll and I miss her everytime I'm away from her.

2. My hubby turned 33 last month. And in celebration of that, I threw a surprise birthday party for him. That's probably one of the most generous party I've thrown for him.

3. Hubby and I have been indulging in steaks lately. A little expensive, but when we have the budget and when there's a special occasion, we try to find a good steak house.

4. I never knew managing a household is this difficult, especially when you have two 19-year old yayas. It's like having two teenagers at the same time.

5. Been working on our itinerary for some time now. We were assigned to take on Italy, which is by far the most complicated and most expensive leg of the trip. But just looking at the pictures of the sites we'll see is enough to pump me up for this trip.

6. Work has been extra busy too, but boring. hahahaha

7. In preparation for the trip, I've enrolled in French class. ehehehe

8. And I'm back into photography. Acquired new lenses for the trip, and starting to acquire books to help me improve my current skills.

9. UAAP Women's Volleyball Finals is up this week. I hope my girls win.

Haaaayyy... So many things, so little time. I want to read more about France, Italy and Germany before we leave so I'd appreciate the place more. But I'm also dreading the day we'll leave Kara behind so I try to spend as much time as possible with her.

All these things happening at the same time. I'm not complaining though, but I hope I don't miss out on the important events in my hubby and baby's lives.

I'll be back for more updates. For now, I will leave you with a picture of my little girl when she turned 9 months. Hope this lightens up your day.

Just a few weeks ago, a colleague posted photos from her trip to India. They were very interesting and majestic, as I had expected.



Then, earlier, I read from TheBagHag about this website. It's a blog of photos taken all over Paris---of people, places and just about anything seen in Paris. It got me more excited about our trip and I promise to make tons and tons of pictures of this once-in-a-lifetime trip.

The Flashmob. The photographer chanced upon the flashmob one day and they were dancing to BEP's I got a feeling. It must be really amazing watching them. Hope that when we're there, we'd see them perform too.

This is Cafe Bonaparte at Saint Germain. One of the things Husbo and I want to do is hangout in a cafe, al fresco, and watch people walk by. It'll be interesting how french people conduct themselves.

There are so much interesting photos in the website. And starting today, I'll visit the site everyday to get tips and to be inspired more.

I'm 28 weeks now. In 10 weeks, I could already give birth to Kara Sabrina. And these days, I've already started planning what to buy and things to do for our little one. I already told you about the things I want to buy in my previous posts, but for the things to do, i'll let you in on a little secret.

One of the major reasons I'm stacking up on photography gadgets and reviving my photography skills is that when the baby is out I want to take loads and loads of pictures of her. I want to take pictures of her tiny fingers, wrinkled face and pinkish feet. She will only be in this stage once and I want to make sure that everything is well documented.

Then a colleague told me that there's a local photographer who does maternity and new born shoots ala Anne Geddes. When I looked it up in the internet, I was facinated. And it made me more excited to see my baby.

We haven't really decided if we're availing their services because they're a little pricey for us. So for now, I'm just getting inspiration from these photos hoping that when I shoot baby KS it'll be as pretty as these.
