  • Thoughts on Descending

    August 11, 2010

    I have been asked numerous times which one is tougher — ascending/summiting or descending? Without batting an eyelash, I always tell them it is going down.
    More often than not, the initial question is followed by a big WHY?
    You would think that hiking up is harder but I never saw it that way. On the way [...]

  • RIP, Grandpa Z

    July 30, 2010

    “There comes a time in life when death calls upon us.
    As man abandons his human form
    To join our Maker
    To the most beautiful place beyond this world…”

    Thanks for welcoming and embracing me into your family and for all the smiles, laughter and love that you showed me. You will be missed, Grandpa Z.
    Rest in peace.
    With so [...]

    It’s the first day of summer… my flowers are all in bloom. JZ said I should say our but I insisted since I planted all of them.

    Life is as always fabulous and beautiful… Happy Monday all!

  • One of the Million Reasons

    May 10, 2010

    I never liked the feeling of being lost. When I moved here to the US almost 10 years ago, I have made it to the point to know where most of the places I wanted to visit are. Mapquest, Yahoo Maps and now Google Maps have been my BFFs and companions and pre-iPhone era, you [...]

  • Birth Order and a Birthday

    April 28, 2010

    Some psychologists believe that the birth order has a lot to do with one’s personality. One example that they gave said that “youngest sibling expects others to do things, make decisions and take responsibility; and oftentimes feels smallest, weakest and immature.”
    My, oh my, they got it so wrong.
    My beautiful sister Chelle was born [...]

  • All Things Bright and Beautiful…

    April 14, 2010

    I had numerous friends and family members asking me if I was fine. I have scratched my head on almost all occasions because things have been very wonderful. Can you imagine my confusion as to why do they think otherwise? When my sister asked the same thing earlier this afternoon, I decided [...]

  • Question Answered: Beach Shoot

    March 19, 2010

    I recently got an email from someone asking me questions re. beach shoot for portraits. Here’s a snippet of that:
    “… While searching for beach shoot, I stumbled upon your site and one of your albums of a couple. Do you have any tips to share on how to accomplish those photos? I appreciate any [...]

    A simple photo is my pick for the photo of day which came a day late.

    I am thankful for being safe today and I pray for all those who are affected by earthquake in Chile.
    I hope you are having a nice Saturday evening.
    Much love,
    Joyce

  • Changes: Gettin' out of Adobe Flash

    February 25, 2010

    Eeeeek, 11 days had passed since I last updated my blog. Some of you might know by now that I love to send love but I wasn’t meaning to be stuck on that Valentines post. There must be a good reason, right? You betcha! (using my acquired Minnesota accent).
    I mentioned previously that [...]
