I THOUGHT OF HIRING A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER TO TAKE VIDEO CLIPS AND NICE PHOTOS FOR OUR FAMILY SOUVENIR. I dialed a few, but no one responded. I think they were scared of contracting the virus.
I didn’t know that once upon a time, my brother in law, Bong, Â delved in photography. He still has his big camera and tripod which came in handy.

The wind was too cold

Len is the bunso


It’s funny how parents are. They say things they don’t really mean when we they are angry or disappointed with their lives. My mom wished and wished for a girl after having 5 boys consecutively. One died 3 days after birth.
When my mom is mad at me, which is quite often, she likes to say she regrets having me. Kung pwede lang ibalik na lang daw nya ako sa tyan nya. Oh well. unfortunately the rule is no return no exchange. That’s the risk of having children, only God knows what you’re going to have. Boy, girl, ugly, pretty, cute, naughty, lazy, smarty, etc. That’s why there’s such a thing as praying. Mothers, and fathers too, pray that God bless them with a healthy, cute baby that grows up to be kind, respectful, intelligent, hard-working, and all those ideal qualities of a perfect person.


Kuya Ben, the youngest of my four brothers, passed away 12 years ago. Gone too young.

Our eldest is Kuya Junior, center, followed by Kuya Romy, then 3rd is Kuya Lito, in yellow shirt.

We’re lucky to have survived the Covid pandemic.





Merry Christmas to your family.
I sincerely believe that the best photos are those that aren’t ‘choreographed.’ These are beautiful photos. Love the second one from the top. <3
Merry Christmas to you too Lili. Keep safe and healthy.
