Nostalgic Tuesday: Of photography and Auntie Simple
From my sister\’s FB wall post:Our fat cat, Chiyo was scratching on the cabinet doors where old photo albums are kept. I decided to check one album and saw these photos of the 2 year old me with Auntie Simple. It\’s only now that I realized that what my relatives were saying about me is true: payatot daw ako noon. So bakit ngayon hindi na? LOL.
And I commented:Alam ko ito. Ito yung picture na ako ang kumuha. Oi wag ka eto
ata yung SLR na gift ni dad kay mom. Infernez, alam ako na ang
rule of thirds…hahaha tapos naalala ko pa kinagabihan pagbalik
ni mom sa trabaho…Sino gumamit ng kamera?! Si ninang sabay turo
sa akin hahahahaha laglagan kung laglagan hahahahha tapos sabi ni
mom grabe ang daming nasayang anim na kuha…
* This is the time back then that developing a film is not cost-effective
And now it looks like its only Ninang\’s memories are that\’s left
to us…
I\’m sorry if I couldn\’t be there to see you for the last time. You\’ve always been so proud of us. KC is right, you are our stage mother. You never fail to encourage us when we\’re down, make us laugh with your crazy antics and just be yourself. Life must go on as they say but all the happy memories that you left us will remain.
I know you\’re in a better place now. We\’ll miss you alot T_T
Music Monday: Without You
I\’ve heard of Aj Rafael because he\’s buddies with David Choi, though I\’m not really familiar with his songs. When Jen made our wedding video, I\’m not familiar with the song. I find it unique. Before I knew it, it\’s stuck in my head.
I remember known videographer Jason Magbanua once said, he makes videos that are timeless and worthwhile. Na kahit paulit-ulit mong panoorin ay kikiligin ka pa rin, matatawa or mangingiti ka. Jen, I think you hit the jackpot with this one. And I see a bright future ahead of you and Roy…Keep up 🙂
XOXO
Relationship Status: Married
The past two weeks has been pure happiness and bliss. I still can\’t get over. It may be short, but its the happiest event in our lives. We decided to make our wedding as a small, unique and an intimate affair. There are are some setbacks but we made it through. All in all, me and my husband are happy with the results.
Here\’s our marvelous wedding video:
Video and Photo by Jen Rivera.
Music Monday: Everything
I heard this the first time from my former multiply.com online buddy. It was one of her favorite song for her daughter. The song is very catchy with a hint of cuteness, gleeful sincerity and lightness. You just have to enjoy every rhythm and beats.
This is what I want for my wedding gleeful and light.
XOXO
I\’m A Non-Practicing Catholic
One time my colleague asked me which church I go to. Honestly, I can\’t remember when was the last time I went to church and heard mass. I simply told her I don\’t go to church and don\’t hear mass anymore. She was like, huh?! Are you a free-thinker already? I answered that I still believe in Jesus and the Gospel. That doesn\’t make me a free-thinker yet. I just don\’t feel going to church and hearing mass anymore. If I\’m inside the church my heart is not into it (in Tagalog: Hindi taos sa puso).
When I was a kid, Mom would always see to it that we go to church every Sunday. I thought it was the right thing to do because Mom (she\’s a devout Catholic) told us so. We thought Dad is \’not good\’ because he seldom goes to church with us. I feel emptiness and conflict. Time passed-by, going to church has been a scarcity. Even mom already gave up on pushing us, we just realized one day that she never call us anymore for mass every Sunday morning. Now I can say, we\’re very much like dad. We had never known his reasons for not hearing mass every Sunday. We don\’t mind knowing the reason anyway.
I don\’t know how to progress on this matter because, it\’s kind of complex and others might not understand me. I saw this video and has laid out the ironies and truth on Jesus > Religion.
This is my personal choice. Don\’t judge me. I might find myself converting in another religion, who knows? If that happens, I\’m going to make sure I\’m not forced nor influenced by others. It has to be on my own free will. For now, I\’m happy with where I am.
