Delayed

6.7.2010

the car couldn't handle, me, perci, gani, krish and all our luggage. so we were delayed in oakland while we figured out a plan. kai kept gani company while we explored our options. result: left the boys behind in sf and krish and i drove back together with only her luggage. my first thought was that i shoulda brought the altima.

Tugadi and Bautista Wedding

Do What You Love

6.5.2010

it's my 35th birthday! and what better way to spend it than to celebrate. although they weren't my celebrations, i was happy to partake in others' landmark events. adrian's nephew amari turned 1, and it was also a "do what you love" celebration. dwyl is also an organization that adrian has invited me to sit on as a board member (the only board member as of yet). i'm excited about what new adventures this journey will bring, and i look forward to working with such a good friend. this celebration was at 330 ritch in SF, which meant that i drove from the east bay to SF to catch a couple hours of the event, and went right back to san ramon for erwin and christine's wedding. (and congratulations, kris on your engagement!!) beautiful weather in the city. good company. what more could one ask for at 35?

Spidey Defeated

me: gani, why don't you change, rest and take a nap?
gani: what?! i'll never do that when jorian's here!
3 hours later...tulog!

Tigger Reincarnate

we lost the beloved tigger while watching the movie "alice in wonderland". gani was heartbroken, and i was beyond heartbroken to see my son so sad over losing his friend. after scouring the movie theater in the dark and calling every day to see if they found him, i knew tigger was gone. we told him that tigger probably decided to go with alice to wonderland, and that he was needed there. then out of the blue one day, he told us, "hey, maybe tigger turned into a butterfly like absolom." what a beautiful and fitting image. it was about that time for gani to transition from an infant toy, and also time for tigger to transition out of his life. so now, every time isagani sees an orange and black butterfly, he knows it's tigger paying him a visit.

so this morning i discover a friend in one of my plants in the kitchen. gani calls him tigger. even though he's devouring my plant, it's fun to see him grow and we can't wait to see him transform.

also, something interesting... this is the plant that i won at alejandra's bridal shower. it's now feeding a life, just like she is with her baby girl now. :)

Purple Trees

no, not those kind. these kind. all over long beach, the flowers bloom and the streets are dusted with purple and cars covered in hard to remove blooms.

also, i didn't even know our camera could do a panoramic shot. cool.

Pho-n Times

they already fight like a married couple. check out the broken heart pic. i love camryn!
