I should use my lensbaby often!
Truth is, I’ve forgotten about my lensbaby. This was one of the last photos where I used it on. And that was in 2008.
Note to self: * Place lensbaby where I can easily see it. USE IT! *
khun kah, lolly ice please (029)

She was too far away from where I was. I wanted to call out and buy lollyice from her that day.
Walking miles of sand daily, just to earn a few bucks perhaps so that she can provide her family food on the table. Whether in Philippines, Malaysia, or like this in Thailand, women (and men) like her is a common site on beaches , sometimes even when the sun doesn’t shine.
So the next time you see one…buy something from them, will you? 
Bunga ng pagpa-Plano (LP 90)
Jan 27th
Isang parte ito ng aming bakasyon sa bansang Thailand na hindi ko makakalimutan. Involved dito ay isang pamilya ng squirrel.
Sa aming paboritong hotel (at dati kong pinagtrabauhan) ay may ilan na ring uri ng hayop at ibon akong nakita na hindi normal na makikita sa araw-araw. Noong early 1990′s dito ay may makikitang baby elephant na ginamit bilang mascot. Tuwing umaga ay ipinapasyal ito ng kanyang trainer sa iba’t ibang facilidad ng hotel para batiin ang mga hotel guests. Sa ngayon ay ipinagbawal na ng hari ang pagta-trabaho sa mga elepante, na positibong hakbang kung ako ang tatanungin.
Pero bago ako maligaw, balik na tayo sa aking akda.
Isang araw habang nakabilad ang aking mister sa araw sa may pool, ako naman ay namasyal sa paligid. Maraming puno na mahusay na inaalagaan ng mga hardinero dito kaya di kataka-takang pamahayan ng mga squirrels ang mga ito. Dahil hitik sa bunga na kanilang kinakain!
Habang naglalakad ay nakarinig ako ng maliit ng ingay! Aha! May nakita akong nagtatakbuhan sa di-kalayuan. Dali-dali kong tinakbo ang aking camera na binabantayan ni irog at binalak ko ‘mahuli’ ang cute na pamilya!
Hindi ako sure pero parang ito si mama squirrel, tipong pinapagalitan nya si junior dahil ang ingay nito at kung saan-saan nagtatakbo! Aha ulit! Gusto kong makuhanan ng larawan ang makulit na baby squirrel kaya binalak kong abangan sya….
tamang -tama! Kung saan ako nagtatago ay doon naman sya tumakbo para maglaro!
oops! nakita na nya ako!
* mommy….may mumu na may isang mata…mommy!!! * tipong tawag sa ina..ang ingay nya!
Syempre laking tuwa ko at nagbunga ang balak ko. Pero may naramdaman akong ‘nagmamasid’ sa akin..hmmm…
Ito kaya si daddy?
Happy LP, everyone!
please sing to me….(027)

Shy? Mysterious? Hiding from the scorching sun? Protecting your core? About to bloom? About to wither?
What ever you might be, I think you are pretty.
A timid Flower (023)
Jan 23rd
A Timid Flower Views Spring
On a timid flower fell a gentle shower
With the eternal warmth of Spring’s caress
In every droplet falling on the flower’s top
In splashings of saintly, serene tenderness.
And of the rain, fresh, sweet rain
That softly fell from the heavens above
The flower drank as though to thank
The Spring for such affection and love.
‘Spring, ‘ said the flower, in that magnificent hour
When the warm sun brightly shone again,
‘I would have died, ‘ the flower sighed,
‘Were it not for your so kind gift of rain.’
Then pausing a second, the flower recokoned,
‘Spring, ‘ the flower spoke, ‘Thou are to me
As woman to man and man to woman
As they to each other are, so thee are to me! ‘ – Carl Harris
