old memories (072-074)
Mar 16th
Oh no, 2 days I was not able to upload photos (again!) what does that say about doing this project 365-daily photo upload of mine, eh? But I don’t think I should pret, my blog-my rules ha ha!
I came across some old files this morning. 3 old photos taken back in 2003. I used my very first Point and Shoot Canon Powershot A60 for all these shots. I remember that old thing which I needed to press the shutter for 3 seconds just to take a shot! Imagine my subject’s smile getting stiff because of that? ha ha! Glad Canon P&S these days are a lot faster to use.
Anyhoo, here’s # 072, (Note: I have to edit the part when I wrote ‘it’s my first time to visit Austria’..actually it was the 2nd visit but first glimpse of the area.) Such an experience to see the beauty of nature from hundreds of feet up the ground.
and we climbed (I mean our car rode) even higher #073 this was taken while the vehicle was moving…
and #074, back home…a busy weekend afternoon in Amsterdam. Here’s how some of them yuppies spend their afternoon….cruising the canals which is an easy way to see the city but also a cool way to let the crowds see you, you know what I mean? 
project 365 backlog (069-71)
Mar 13th
I was sick, does that count as an excuse for my not uploading my daily photo? Anyhoo I got 3 to share…here goes:
#069/ 365 (Zeeland, Netherlands)
#070/ 365 Keukenhof, The Netherlands 2008
#071/365 Centro Escolar University…pre-war time lol!
* I took photo of the copy that I have..did not scan…katamad…click for a larger view*
just kidding the last photo was actually my class photo taken back in the late 80s. It was colored and painfully blurred that I had used both lightroom and photoshop just to somehow fix it. I opted for this sepia color (than even B&W) because it looks more ..well…you decide …Milet? ida? Dulce? Chatty? Lalin? Cristy? Zol?
*btw, photographer’s focus was the center..periphery came out like this nandoon pa naman halos tayo*

Dahil sa may alaga kaming aso, ang bakasyon ay pinaplano na kasama siya kung lokal ito. May mga hotel dito sa Holland na allowed ang aso ay itinuturing na guests (syempre ay may bayad din sila) Noong nakaraang Sabado ay nag long weekend kaming pamilya sa aming paboritong hotel sa Southern part ng Holland, malapit ito sa dagat. Ang dagat na ito ay pamoso dahil kung susuwertihin ka ay makakakita ka ng seals.
Gusto kong magbakasakali na makakuha ng ilang litrato, bitbit pa ang isang cheapipay na largabista ay hinila ko na ang mister ko sa dagat matapos makapag almusal. Nanlumo ako pagdating namin doon dahil bukod sa halos hindi maabot ng largabista ang san bed ng mga seals ay ga-tuldok lamang sila sa aking pananaw. “Hay, bigo” sabi ko sa sarili ko.
Bumalik na kami sa hotel dahil may lunch date kami kasama ang ilang kaibigan. Habang naghihintay kami ay biglang lumapit sa aming table ang hotel owner at sinabing: `sa loob ng 2 oras ay darating ang seal ambulance na may dalang pakakawalan ng wild seals. Baka gusto ninyong makita, pumunta kayo sa dagat.` Whoa! nanlaki lalo ang dati ng malalaking mata ko sa tuwa! Hindi yata ako mabibigo….
Medyo naparami ng upload ng photos…gusto ko sanang i-share sa inyo ang na experienced ko…kakaiba kasi ito keysa sa mga seals sa captivity na ginagamit para pagkakitaan ng pera. Ito naman ay tao ang nagbibigay ng pera para sila ay protektahan. More >
Give me my ball!! (068)
Mar 10th
**how come Sjimmie is standing straight but the water seems like tilting to the left…. because the world is round?**
This is Sjimmie. The relentless bouvier of our friends Joke and George.
Sjimmie wont stop barking when he’s on the beach. He would bark, bark, bark, and bark more..pleading to give him his ball. But he can bark until he drops..he can’t have his ball.
Bad hips. That’s what he’s got. So no running is advisable for him. Have had hips operation already, if he hurts himself again, operation might not be an option anymore.
Sorry Sjimmie. That’s said with L O V E.
beach find (067)
Mar 9th
I saw these poles from a distance while walking on this deserted beach last weekend. I knew that I just have to photograph them, so I suggested to my husband for us to walk towards them.
The poles were not as tall as I hoped for nor many in number either. Also two were buried too high in the sand that the picture I had in mind didn’t came out the way I was hoping for.
I like the color contrast though.
Charlie was on a short vacation (064-066)
Mar 8th
We were back from our weekend getaway..or I should say, Charlie’s vacation because we chose this hotel where dogs are allowed as guests. It was in the Southern part of Holland and walking distance from the sea (Northsea.) Before heading back home (and after a heavy breakfast) we decided to walk a few kilometres..eventhough the cold wind was unforgiving..brrrr
I asked my husband (who doesn’t like holding a camera..my exact opposite, bleh! ) to please take some photos of me with Charlie..
64/365: ‘No baby don’t look at me, look at the camera’
65/365: ‘good now you’re looking..hey wait! dad’s shadow is showing..keep looking’
66/365: ‘oh great, now you’re no longer looking…oh well…let’s go home’
my housemates (062 & 063)
Mar 5th
I was not able to upload my photo-of- the- day yesterday (project 365) thus I uploaded 2 today. Featuring my housemates.
Gray-bearded-almost-6-years-old Charlie. The family Prince. And I mean that. What he wants, he gets! Well, from my husband who really reeeeeeeaaallly spoils Charlie. Did you know at night I am not allowed to sit on the couch beside my husband? because that’s Charlie’s spot. For the past almost 6 years!
And no, I ‘m not complaining….that much. Lol!
