With My Boys

LATE POST.

There's a reason for having too many BUTTs [instead of but] in this post. And that is...

THIS.


It's not news [read: shucking late post] that The Despicable Me 2 movie was released. Us being a fan of the first, plus having a kid who's gone crazy for minions, H and I decided to see it in big screen. Of course with the kid, who is growing up synonymous to bouncing ball and eat-anything-on-the-table giant. Or a monster. Especially recently.

Here are photos from that crazy-minion-filled night.


Yay for quality time!

Bye. ♥

Swift Inspiration

//my wavelength, recently, in a song.

SAFE AND SOUND
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound.

Venti-sized Afternoon

This kept me away from certain distractions. One being, ASDFGHJKLqwertyuiopzxcvbnm,./; about pursuing photography.



Also, I deserve this. For all the things I accomplished last week and today [as a programmer nerd]. And bec this marks a temporary, two months to be exact, break up with coffee [which is related to tomorrow, being the start of my General Motors Weight Loss Program]; the last cup until the next one I'm having on September first or whenever.


//But now that that's empty, [I'm thankful for] Sel G., Birdy, and Panic screaming through my fears and insecurities.

Feelings Recently, In Photos

I am unaware of how I'm feeling recently, until sitting down with these photos.

To define myself currently, would include a blanket of comfort coming from my set of everyday people. Happy and warm. But to be honest, there are times I feel afraid, almost losing it, that I crave for nothing but to feel safe. They are what glue me sturdy on ground when I'm shaking. What keep me sane. My human beings.

It's not pretense. I am no doubt deeply in love with these beautiful creatures, and I am extremely grateful. But in between seconds of joy, and almost feeling content, I carry an ache in my heart. Hurting for a love [and relationship] lost, being incomplete, for missing out on hugs and kisses, and for 'I love you's that are nearly gone.


*****************************************
So here are three sets showing, ironically, joy, content, and unhappiness.

Of rainy season and buses, late night walks, silent conversations, and holding hands.

Of hot days, escaping tall buildings, and hazy memories

Of mornings, comfort, and soul

Of traveling, getting lost, and breathing free.

Deep Fried Mars Bars and Wicked Oreos

A.k.a probably my best post by fat, I mean far.

I don't usually cook, I mean in a daily basis, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Quite frankly, [we decided that] the husband takes charge of feeding us and the babies. But when I do, they're most of the time desserts and snacks.

With that said, I need not to go act all smarty pants, telling how to make these babies yourself. Instead here are...

"How to" in photos. (Thanks to my loyal S4 buddy named Atom.)









*Grease and preheat your pan. Do the frying. Ta-daah!




Snack time! Ok bye! ♥

P.S Husband was supposed to fry so I can handle taking photos. Apparently, he's not a pancake type of chef. And since I can't trust him with the camera, we got no photos of frying. (No proof that I "CAN" cook! *brbsulking*)

Edit: It's sad whenever Blogger resize my photos to mini.

Life Recently

I was going to start and say 'I had a pretty busy June and July isn't any different. The reason why there's a sort of hiatus that happened.' BUTT. I just found out from checking my posts, that the latest was ONLY 2 weeks ago. /Awkward. It seems I had unknowingly created a deep attachment to this blog, which includes feeling the need to post one per day.

To be consistent (since I intend to write something close to a 'Hey I'm back!' list), here are updates (or more accurately, just me babbling) about life recently.

1. I've mentioned it before that we're throwing a fit for the Belle (See related: baptism, Christening, Roman Catholic religion), and ever since we got off that one check up we found out we're having a princess, I discovered a hidden fascination over modern shabby chic parties. I would love to share my our ideas so far, BUTT I can't properly collect my thoughts and put it down in a post. It is VERY hard to be cohesive when (too much of) excitement gets in the way.

What I can only do is list my favorite would-be-details of the party, which are:

• Cakes table for 5 mini cakes --ruffled, leaf, rose, ombre, beads,  (the ones I normally see and immediately fell in love with while Pinterest-ing) all with buntings and fresh roses
• Desserts table for 6 type of desserts --cupcakes, macarons, sugar cookies, cake pops, pop corn and marshmallows
• Coffee station, which may or may not have a cheap milk tea concoction
• DIY Make a headband stations (I already bought half of what I need)
• DIY flower crowns and bow ties (I got fake flowers, which surprisingly looks real. While the cloth I got bow ties are just average. Now I'm thinking of going back to the store! Pfft.

Other exciting stuff are mostly DIYs. For example, this invitation set.
Disclaimer: I did not make the flowers. Sadly, I possess no power to do digital art. BUTT fortunately, GIMP (a photoshop-ish application) saves the day.



That was just a template, the reason for being b&w. I had to make sure everything would fit after cutting, and that they will look great (and coherent) together.

2. I uhmmm stalk observe (very VERY closely) this one girl, who is such a delight on instagram.

Khiesti's feed is SOMETHING. I find her gallery entertaining, and really has that kick of imagination. She (in a very cute way) combines photography with art. She takes photos of simple objects and draws in characters, or sometimes just little stuff like flower pots. It is very creative, not to mention a ton of fun! You know, because doodles are forever fun.

What I love most about her is her little monsters. She would doodle them flying, taking a bath, hanging around, just standing, running, but most of the time, eating. That last part got deep in me bec I'm hellafa food lover.




Khiesti's account is nothing like I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong. Albeit I continue stalking following my favorite photography instagrammers, it's refreshing to see something new and different.

If that got your interest, here is Khiesti's online insta gallery.




That's about it. Plus work. And the kids. Barely got time for a massage. My back still hurts from 9 months of no-massage bec of pregnancy.
BYE. ;)
