maraming nagtitinda ng mga makukulay na sisiw at maliliit na pugo...
si janjan ay nabiyayaan ng anim na pugo...
anim silang masisiglang pugo na aming inuwi...
namatay ang isa kinabukasan...
di naglaon, namatay ang natirang lima

morbid ba? :D

i can imagine myself relaxing under the sun, getting a massage on boracay's white sand... and my bebi beside me, admiring the blue skies and getting some shade under these trees... ahhh, life!
well, that was what we are imagining everytime we look at this pic. this was taken during edwin and joyce's wedding at San Agustin Inner Courtyard. oks no? ... oh, i really hope that our anniv get-away will push through!

I love this pic! (e lahat naman yata ng shots ng bebi ko love ko e, naks! :D). How colorful no?
Actually this is the other pic that I referred to in my previous post. Notice the mist? Seemed that this mist just casted a spell on my bebi... lagi nya inaabangan e :D

the mist... err.. the swans

This is one of nel's two fave shots at fernwoods (during ken and jen's wedding). He really waited for the mist to come out before he took this pic of these swans. This pic always remind me of "the ugly duckling" though (I know, I know these aren't ducks... e baket ba e sa yun ang naalala ko! :D)

"i wish... i wish..."


oi gohan

hmmm, i don't really know what gohan is looking at. he was probably amazed with this fountain. i didn't see him throw any coin in it, but it looks like he has just made a wish at a wishing well... err... fountain? :)
this was taken just before edwin and joyce's wedding feast began at the San Agustin Inner Courtyard

nah, this wasn't taken during new year's eve but during romel and grette's wedding. they ended the celebration with fireworks. and it was really lovely and enchanting!
nel was so pleased with how this pic turned out. he really didn't intend to capture the moon which was so bright that night, and the flowers on top of the tall centerpiece on our table. nice naman diba?

the last leaf

nel wanted me to post this asap. nde naman sya excited sa photoblog na ito, hehe. Nwys, this was taken at Fernwoods, after Ken and Jen's wedding reception (as i've said from my blog, nel super enjoyed shooting that day :D). this lone leaf just fell from i-dunno-what tree, right on top of this red carpet which stretched from the staircase towards the main garden. notice the loose red rose petals?

"it's mine! mwahahaha!"


akin ang garter!
Originally uploaded by elapot.

i think this is what vijay was thinking about when he was able to get the garter... and nope, he's not getting the garter because he wants to be the lucky bachelor during edwin and joyce's wedding. most of the guys here were almost ready to die just to get the garter (OA!). and this is because of the twist in this garter throwing tradition - edwin threw the garter over and over again and whoever catches it will be able to sit down. so the lucky guy is the slowest in getting the garter :)

welcome to our photoblog!
since my bebi and i are becoming shutter addicts, we decided to show our favorite photos to everyone through this blog. we also would like to get tips and tricks from our fellow addicts out there for us to be better and promising photographers. so just leave us your comments anytime ;)

dunno why i chose this photo for our 1st post. maganda naman diba? :)
this is one of the 1st few shots that our new baby (Canon EOS 300D) took... taken at the shop itself... "test muna bago bili". and this is the same lens cover that had only been w/ us for 1 day. Nel lost it the next day after we bought the camera. Excited ksi masyado, ano bebi?

21 random things about us

(swiped the idea from jen)

1. we celebrate our wedding anniversary at exactly 1 week after "heart's day"

2. we love, love, love japanese food!

3. obviously, we love taking pictures and having our pictures taken (nel replies: "having our pictures taken??? ... nah, just her, not me")

4. it took us 10.5 years before we tied the knot... well, half of those we really just couldn't coz we we're still students.

5. we're high school sweethearts (so it isn't true what your principal or counselor or teacher are saying that you won't end up together if you started in high school... oops, nope, we're not really encouraging high school students to get into serious relationships yet... "focus on studying!")

6. we never broke up nor cooled off for even a day... even a second, actually.

7. nel's ela's 1st and last boyfriend and ela's nel's 1st and last girlfriend (... that we both know of, haha... no, really... seriously!... and we still managed to keep the relationship "colorful", contrary to being boring)

7. we're self-proclaimed tekken 5 addicts!

8. while nel likes to cook, ela loves to eat! ... great combo!

9. nel's the "domesticated"-husband-type... ela's ... ammm... just don't ask...

10. the number "16" for us, means "i love you very much"... (count the letters!)

11.

... to be continued...
