mom, not at all amused at the antics of what the newscaster introduced as 'interesting' (uhm, they used to call them 'nuisance') electoral candidates: 'they're taking footage that's why...'
me: 'you're watching so they take footage...'
mom: 'if they don't take footage then i won't be seeing these people on TV...'
chicken and egg... supply and demand... whatever...
circular
supposed to order a photo cake... store wants me to bring a picture... i ask whether i could just send a jpg... staff says no because they have to scan the hard copy...
i said if you scan it becomes a jpg (or tif or whatever)... now i already have a jpg, i'll have to print, they'll scan and 'twill again become jpg...
not sure that makes sense... hmmm... unless the cake-making machine accepts only hard copy... ???

sticking to what you love
my parents love max's... not just because of the food... the original restaurant was where their wedding reception was held close to half a century ago (awww! a long and lasting love... ♥♥)
now we're supposed to dine out for my dad's special day... as usual, max's came up... someone suggested we go to a different restaurant for a change... ok... so last weekend, 'twas agreed that we'll go to this other chain...
well, this evening my mom said she checked out the other place and found it too noisy... she says my dad won't like it... guess what, it's gonna be max's again... ; )

see it differently
at a party last night, i was taking a pic, as usual with the camera way above my head...
batchmate: 'you like to take pics with your arms high up...'
uhm... i have nice armpits... joke!!! ; p
actually, i like to capture moments, not from the usual eye-level but from a different perspective... : )

spirit and flesh
we're a close-knit family and i grew up with regular get-togethers, usually in so-and-so's house or in this or that restaurant. we've done out-of-towns, but they've entailed only land travel. (well, my mom and my aunts have gone on U.S. trips together, but at most there were only six of them sisters.)
last week, however, sixteen (!) ladies in the family went out-of-town, this time, ta-daaan, flying to cebu... : )
there was a seat-sale in july and a cousin sent out a facebook message asking whether we'd like to go bonding with a plane ride to boot. before you know it, seventeen tickets have been bought, a hotel has been booked and transportation arrangements have been made.
destination was supposed to be just cebu but on our first day, an aunt said she'd like to go boating and go to a beach as well. someone said bohol is just an hour away. we could leave in the morning and go back in the afternoon. phone calls were made, text messages were sent and before the day ended, we've already arranged for transportation in bohol. (i love this family!!! ♥♥♥)
following morning, there was excitement plus unexpected suspense and anxiety as the availability of sixteen tickets to bohol hang in the balance. the van IN bohol was confirmed, the ferry TO bohol was iffy... : }
the heavens thankfully smiled on us, for the nth time : ), as my aunts and my cousin were able to get the remaining tickets on the ferry: 7 first class, 9 economy. the last 16 tickets, imagine! yey, bohol now part of the itinerary!!! : D
surprise, surprise, however -> the ferry trip takes two hours not one. uh-oh, so we're losing two hours? hah! no problem! quick stops at chocolate hills and the tarsier sanctuary. no more swimming, just lunch at the beach. fun and enjoyable with adrenaline rush on the side... ; )
last night, at another family get-together, an uncle was telling me: 'your cebu and bohol pictures are nice. we were counting though and there's always someone missing.'
me: 'oh, we were supposed to be 17 but <a niece> wasn't able to make it so there were only 16...'
uncle: 'i meant the people in the pics were less than 16. suddenly we realized that it's you who is not there. of course, you were taking the pics...'
haha... yup, as usual. i've been the unofficial / self-assigned family photographer since second year high school. that is a looong time... ; p
when we were in cebu, a cousin offered to take my pics. i said, 'thanks, it's ok...'
she said, 'but you don't have pictures!'
i said i have. i'm taking the pics so i'm part of the pics. you don't see me but i'm there -> in spirit... (awoooo!!! ; ))
she then chuckled saying that's not good enough for her. she said if it's her, she'd be peeved already and if it's her camera, she'd stop taking pics and just put it in her bag. no pic of hers?! no pic of others as well!
oh! nyahaha... toinks!!! ; p
