day 530 | december 31, 2011 | priceless gems

roo and i had a chance to find old albums from my childhood while we were at my mom's home in manila. photos with my grandma at agus river in lanao, snaps with cousins at our old rented home in zamboanga, and faded memories with childhood friends. and i would have to say, that those old grainy discoloured photographs were among the most precious of gems from our short trip.

day 538 | december 18, 2011 | there's no business like 'munky bizniz'

roo's first time to be a flower girl, and i was seriously on 'stage mom' mode. after a couple of years of growing up with wedding photos i've taken, she finally got a chance to soak up the girliness of it all — the dress fitting, the shoe shopping, flowers in hair, and the walk down the aisle. we were stuck in traffic from paranaque to greenhills for 2 hours! and i almost thought we would miss the march in. we barely caught it in time, to insert roo right before the beautiful maid of honor. =)
