PhotoHunt #5: Anything Goes

This week’s PhotoHunt theme is Anything Goes. It means a free week and participants can post any photo they like.

That is a spider crab. This photo was taken when we visited The Manila Ocean Park last August, during one of the holidays. Among all the species in the park, this is what Ayex enjoyed the most. I don’t know if it was because of the cold water it was in or something else. After the visit, she kept on saying butter crab and I couldn’t quite understand her until we were browsing our pictures again.

I’ve been wanting to visit this park since it opened but a lot of people told me to wait until it was fully finish. I was so eager because Ayex has a thing for fish – she loves them so much! Also, it will be my first time to see such scene. We also invited my Dad, Nanay, Ate Jinky, Gabs and Toni. Among all of us, Toni is the only one who has been there before.

It was a fun experience for all of us despite the heat. We all went home satisfied and tired even though we found out that some creatures are just magnified. Still all the views were fantastic, specially the tunnel!

Ruby Tuesday #2

I am feeling a bit sentimental the past few days and while I was searching my archives for a ruby to post today, I stumbled upon the picture below. All of a sudden, memories came rushing and I felt like I was back in my younger days.

This photo was taken in December 18, 2004. It was my first Christmas Party with Trend Micro and it was one of the bests I had.

This is a year and a half that we have been chosen as scholars. The founders of the company are celebrating the party with us and so HR asked us to do a special number for them. It took us weeks to practice. We had to look for a sewer who is willing to sew our costumes in such a short notice. I’m happy that we were able to pull it off despite our young age. Practice nights are really full of fun.

Oh I miss these people. I haven’t seen most of them, not even chat! I hope one of these days, we’ll get to meet each other again, probably over lunch or dinner.

I ♥ Faces: Excited!

When I checked this week’s theme, I already had this picture in mind. It is a perfect example of an excited and giggly lady.

The photo below was taken on 2008, Ayex’s 1st birthday celebration at McDonald’s. We were playing Bring Me when she won. I just can’t remember what it was she gave to the host for win. But I do remember that she was so eager to win because of the prize – a flash light with replaceable Disney Princess disks. You attach the disks at the top of the flash light where the bulb is. It functions similarly to projectors. It was a nice prize and one of a kind if I may say.

Once again, thanks to Ninong Paulo for the lovely pictures on Ayex’s 1st birthday.
