Bloggin under hurricane

Today is supposed to be sandy's visit. We're not excited about it. Me & my husband finally decided
to evacuate even though we didn't get any warning.. Hopefully I'll be able to blog it. But right now
I wanna show you how much I had fun spending time with my family & my cute nephew 
yesterday! He's the cutest. I'll will also show you some of the halloween fun stuff I shoot 2 days
ago since I already blogged a little bit about it. I didn't do a lot of editing. I just put them
in a collage & a little bit of color corrections & here you go! I usually go crazy with my editing
but since I'm so worried about the power going off, I had to do some microwave tricks in my
photoshop. So here ya go! I'm so excited to show you off my beautiful cupcake! Love love him!


Here's my 3 handsome men of my life! My dad, my nephew lhervronn & my husband. 
So glad to see them all spending time together!


He's been trying to talk.. He's only 3 months but sooo soooo smart already! Giggle!

MY LOVELY LADIES

Another night with full of FUN not just in our stomach but we're full of joy! I'm so blessed to have
these ladies in my life. All these tapestry women are just that simply lovelies! That night friday night
was full of laugh! We played lots of games & we laughed like it was our last days! 
I am longing for more nights with them! 


And guess who was our bug last night? SHILOH hahahah He told me, "I don't care if this is a women
thing. This is my house and I can kick you out and I can get what ever I want!" I CRACKED UP!


It was our crab night & oh my goodness, this game that jenn spread out is just a killer! HAHAH

PUMPKILICIOUS

Last night, my  husband came home & told me that he has a surprise for me. So he told me 
to find where the surprise is. So while digging in the plastic bag, I was thinking, ah! I'm sure
it's FOOD! So YES I was right! IT'S THE PUMPKIN PIE! I had pumpkin for the first time! 
When I was in the philippines, the only pie i like is Egg pie! haha Maybe some of you never heard
of it but all filipinos out there.. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about! The truth is, I can't 
remember the taste of egg pie anymore! Ah sad face! 

Anyway, back to pumpkin... AHH IT'S WAS PUMPKILICIOUS! My husband bought it in pathmark!
I texted him today, I wonder if home made pumpkin taste better? He replied WE WILL MAKE ONE!
I got so excited! WOOO HOO!!!! I'll get to bake with my bah bah! (another way of calling him baby)
giggle. 




Of course to win the day, I gotta have a cup of coffee! 



So my bah bah suggested to put whipped cream! AH sooooo YUM!


By the way, i dried this cute rose & it looks so pretty!! I dried prolly 20 of them haha


MY NEW FAVORITE DESSERT, PUMPKILICIOUS!

Just another day

Monday, Oct. 22nd, I went to the hospital where my husband works.. It's close to our flat, right
across the street. My husband has been telling me about the starbucks but that day I had a chance 
to check it out. Eh, It's ok. It doesn't feel like it's starbucks because of the rudeness. 
They should put a good, kind worker because it's making me dislike the starbucks!
BUT, I'm just trying to get it out of my chest. I got over it actually when I got a spot to
sit down & relax :) 



The photo on the top & this one is from my iPhone. Ah I enjoy that day! It was a beautiful day & it's 
really nice outside! The view is just breath taking... Jersey city downtown is really pretty! I'm so glad
God brought me to this place & met my lovely husband. 


Anyway, that day, I had a chance to really think about the wedding photo shoots. Pursue it or not
pursue it. But I made a decision. My husband agreed with it. I chose not to pursue it for a while. 
I know I'm booked to do my friend's wedding next year, that's fine but at least.. there's no pressure. 

One of the reason why I had to stop is because I realized that I can't handle some things. I need to learn
a lot of things. NOT just the photography but how to handle any situations. 

 Weddings are fun of course, and money wise, Yes it's a win. The truth is, I got disappointed &
was really down. But then, I woke up with a wide understanding. "I'm not ready for it" I don't 
want to blame anybody. There's no one to blame. It's just a decision i had to make. 




Actually, I was talking to myself while I was eating these sushi. Even though I made a decision already
I was still thinking if my decision was right. 


So last night, after taking this picture, I spoke to my husband & told him my final decision. NO 
MORE WEDDINGS. But I told him, the only weddings I'll be doing are my friend's upcoming
weddings. I told him at least there's no pressure & it's going to be easy for me. It's not like I can't 
do it. physically, mentally, it's really tiring. It's a lot of work! I'm sure all wedding photographers
knows that! I don't have assistant! I had to use my husband to help me & it's not fair to him!

I will still shoot but I will focus on family portraits etc. 


Look I took a picture of him! He's happy :) He understand my decision. He knows how hard it was! 
I love this man a lot. He's so supportive. His smile is my favorite everyday! When he wake me up with 
lots of kisses and beautiful smile, (even though I'm half asleep) It makes me forget the hardness of 
life... I'm truly thankful everyday. God has been so good & always good not just because I have a 
husband but because His grace is sufficient for me. God is really feeding me His daily mercy. 
Everyday, I'm simply thankful.

Brian & Melissa pt.1

Meet this beautiful bride Melissa. She's the most calm bride I've ever met! I'm glad I captured her special day. The first time I've met her at starbucks, she made me try this hot chocolate with soymilk & since then, I can't forget the taste! IT was soooo goood! I love her GOWN! It's so simple! I love simple gowns because you can see the real beauty of it. 



She is such a beauty & she smiles a lot too & very calm as water.


I've met her cool make up artist as well.. She's so nice & sweet!




The bride's sister (Her made of honor) which I kept forgetting that she's her made of
honor because I'm too focus on my job. The truth is, I can't remember her name! I KNO! I'm really
bad at remembering names! But her sister is such a lovely woman & fun!





















Here's part II
