Puffy Clusters Above Caticlan Island

Puffy, cotton-like cumulus clouds in clusters above Caticlan, nearly 15 minutes away by pumpboat from the resort island Boracay.     This shot was taken when the 10AM flight Cebu Pacific aircraft was about to make a U-turn drop and eventually land to Caticlan five days after our wedding. Ian and I did not expect that [...]

Show-offs

The stuff of Ian’s dream

You’d be surprised how far a man’s desire goes, especially if it’s a long-standing dream.  You’d be awed by the loyalty given to that dream.  Yes, you’d be totally touched with the realization that your man, like a kid receiving his first chocolate bar when he was still 5, smiles deeply and with eyes twinkling while looking at [...]

Furniture Shopping

Four days after our Boracay escapade, I was able to finally arrange the living room and set everything right.  Our leather chairs, now adorned with lovely cushions covered by metallic-type, embroidered cushion cases (gifts from Sheng and Yman), are arranged in U-shape facing the TV.   Our need now is to buy an affordable but sturdy china cabinet where we [...]

It was just too bad though that her Lola from her father’s side suddenly got down sick and was not able to come. [...]

Post wedding getaway

I am actually really thankful that Borski had chosen a very good wedding coordinator as I can’t imagine the two of us actually doing all [...]
