Thoughts & Beyond

I was over at Facebook looking over photos posted by some friends whom we have come to know through photography. I enjoyed looking into their behind the scene photos during their shoot covering the Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan during the Kadayawan Festival over the weekend. We might have missed the fun and the heat shooting at the streets this year since we opted to stay home and just watch it on TV as we are still getting well and don’t want to get more sick anymore plus hubby has work during the weekend that got in the way too. But I really had fun just looking at the pics and the fun they had shooting. Even that “face-off” between two photographers using Canon vs Nikon!

We just got home tonight from dinner out with the boys and did some grocery for the lil boy’s neccesities, just in time for the start of EARTH HOUR 2010 here in our place. The neighbor next door had already turned off their lights but she said earlier that they’d still be watching TV. The other neighbors have turned off some of their not so essential lights. When I took a peek around past 9PM, it was darker outside. The lil boy in the house didn’t want the lights out at first but he started to behave and allowed us to turn off the lights when we allowed him to watch TV. Sort of no choice. I have started doing my share of Earth Hour by unplugging appliances not in use. Turning off hubby’s speaker for his PC, turning off lights outside since the light from the streetlight near us would suffice. We somehow constantly observe our own Earth Hours here in the city since February with our daily rotating brownout for two hours.

Just got home from bonding time with the boys since hubby is having his first of the two long weekends off from work before Christmas. First stop this afternoon was to issue next years checks for the housing loan we have. I met my college classmate Tin who works in that government office and we talked about the forthcoming college reunion after Christmas. Then I asked for some advice regarding our plans for H project #2. She gave us an idea and we will try to think about that and work that out next year. Then the boys and I went to Jack’s Ridge where along the way, the lil boy took his afternoon nap. It gave hubby and me time to have our quiet dinner and take food shots without the lil boy playing around making it not as easy as it should be at times. You know the lil boy recently learned to make ways to distract our shoot whatever. He would make it a point he’ll be either be part of all the shots or place something in the way to disturb the shoot. LOL!

We have been busy the past two days trying to enjoy the highlight activities of the city’s festival. We do not want to miss the two main events of the festivities especially that these two events are what we so call photo opps. The two days was fun and it seems that time just fly when you are having fun. It has been a busy two days and now I feel tired yet happy witnessing the street dancing competition and seeing the floats though I was kind of disappointed not seeing the big floats from the two malls that have been popular and winners for the past floral float parade.

My boys and I went to People’s Park after we had a late lunch at Grub Cafe Resto yesterday afternoon. We want our lil boy to see the park and have fun there. Indeed he had fun and he even got instant fans from nursing students who were seated in the benches at one part of the park and saw him walking around with his hands clasped on his back. Anyway, we were amused as well since he posed and smiled at them when they called his attention.
