Lani - Weee! It’s a busy December for you guys. Buti na lang di ako sa December. Haha.February 24, 2009 – 10:37 pm

Lisa - Hi, Lani! It’s the healthy kind of busy, i.e. not stressful or hectic. We just got a few out-of-town weddings. We’re going to Bohol! The Bisaya in me is happy. We automatically close the days before and after for trips that far. Flying out on the morning of the wedding is dangerous because if the flight gets delayed or canceled, we’re totally screwed.

We’ve made sure we wouldn’t be too busy so we can still take care of everyone else. That and it’s the holidays, you know? As much as we love this, we still want to have time for family. It’s really what the month and even what we do is all about anyway.

Buti na lang hindi ka December. I think the wait would kill me. February 25, 2009 – 8:17 am

Candy - Lisa!
Wow! I’m really happy for you guys! and really proud that our wedding was one of the first weddings you guys shot! haha
I have actually been meaning to send you an email kasi I wanted to ask about cameras.. haha
I want to buy a SLR kasi.. and I wanted to ask what you think is the best entry-level camera?

Hi Jeff!February 25, 2009 – 11:19 am

Lisa - Hey, Candy! Thanks. I miss you guys! Say hi to Izzy for me? Sure thing, email away. It depends on the brand you’re familiar with, really. I won’t get into the never ending everloving Canon vs. Nikon debate because they’re all the same to me. They each have their pros and cons. We chose Canon for the local service. If you want to go Nikon, Jeff will help out — he’s more familiar with it. I’ve been a Canon shooter since I went digital and I’m not familiar with the Nikon lineup.February 25, 2009 – 1:34 pm

judy g - ma’am lisaloo…can i set an appointment to have dinner with you?? just teasin’ February 25, 2009 – 10:07 pm

Lisa - Ma’am ka dyan. That better be the part where you’re teasin’ or there’ll be no Marbles for you. I will diet the whole year (hahaha, as if) so I can eat without a conscience when you get here. Crispy pata. Sisig. Beer. Yes? Yes.February 25, 2009 – 10:50 pm

judy g - Sige…I’ll go diet with you. By the time I get home, I’ll be flaunting that “I’m a skinny bitch” shirt! Chicharon bulaklak & crispy lechon balat to our list, please!February 27, 2009 – 1:17 am

fria - Hay! Buti na lang we booked early! March 1, 2009 – 7:51 pm

Lani - Wow, Lisa. Bohol! Sarap naman! Exciting this year for you guys. Can’t wait for your new photos. Especially sa mga out of town weddings. Pwede ba namin kayo isama sa honeymoon namin? hehe. Para may professional photos kami dito sa Scotland.

Oo nga. hindi ko din mahihintay ang Dec. Hehe. Rain or shine we’re getting married.

Hello Jeff!March 2, 2009 – 2:55 am

Joey S. - Lisa! Post na your new photos! Im so excited March 2, 2009 – 8:04 pm

Lisa - @Judy – If you diet, liliparin ka na ng hangin! Haha. You can diet when you get back from Pinas again. I’m sure you’ll have a few pounds to spare then. And yes, added!

@Fria – March na. It still surprises me how fast time flies. Hope wedding preps are coming along. Email us if you need help with anything.

@Lani – Sometimes I feel like it hasn’t really sunk in yet, that we really get to do this now. We just covered a Tagaytay wedding today. (Just stepped through the front door a few minutes ago.) Dinner reception was at Josephine’s! I remember when Jeff and I were in college, we used to eat at Josephine’s every time we were in Tagaytay, which was often. Food’s still as good as we remember it.

@Joey – We’re just a wee bit backlogged with the blog thing but we’ll update soon, I promise!March 2, 2009 – 9:24 pm

Jenn - picture nalang ng guinea pig, wonder pets na!
yes lisa, i used to watch that show. April 13, 2009 – 12:29 am

Road Trip to Baguio

Thursday, January 22, 2009 Posted in Misc. Photos, Random Personal Things

We were on the road to Baguio last January 17 for our first destination wedding on the 18th. It was a seven-hour road trip for us. We took a wrong turn before SCTEX, and there was that Talong Festival in Villasis. Lisa and I used to love road trips back in college. We haven’t been on one in a long time. This trip brought back so many memories.

NLEX

She always prepared the music for our trips. Thankfully, my wife has impeccable taste in music, spare for the occasional 80s song that manages to surreptitiously sneak its way in a playlist or two which she always cheekily denies including. She still sings along with abandon at the top of her lungs whenever we hit the expressway. It was the start of a kickass weekend. I’ve missed driving long distances and on highways. EDSA doesn’t count.

the part where we got lost

the glorious SCTEX

to Baguio

Something tells me we’re going back to Baguio for a vacation before the year is over.

Update: Just blogged about the wedding! Go see some images from Edward and Malou’s Baguio wedding.

Happy New Year!

Thursday, January 1, 2009 Posted in Marbles, Misc. Photos, Random Personal Things

To kick 2009 off, here are some holiday photos of the little one. He’s having the time of his life.

holiday feast

He’s getting just a teensy bit more treats like small slices of red Washington apples. Those he consume way too fast for anyone to take decent pictures of. He inhales them, not very much unlike a handheld vacuum. At least he still chews his greens.

lounge bunny

In other news, there is now a 55kg bale of timothy hay sitting in our spare bedroom. Nobody sells small packs of hay for small animals here anymore, so we had no choice but to get an entire bale, the kind they give horses for lunch. The place smells like freshly cut grass now, which is funny because we live in a building. If you have a rabbit and live nearby, shoot us an e-mail and we’d be more than happy to give you a bag or two.

timothy hay

2008 has brought us many blessings and we are so grateful. From the looks of it though, 2009 might just be even more kickass. Just the thought of the wonderful people we’ll be surrounded with this year… it’s going to be amazing, I just know it. Can’t wait! Wishing everyone much laughter, light, and love for the year ahead!

China - Hi there! I was searching the net for sources of hay here in the Philippines and I found your site. Our bunny’s supply of hay has been all eaten by Bobon and we don’t have any relative who’s going here from the States (this is how we regularly get hay). So we’re wondering where did you guys get your 55kg bale of timothy hay please? Really desperate since Bobon is not used to not having hay. Thanks very much!

PS, our bunny looks so much like yours

China June 7, 2009 – 7:45 pm

Lisa - Hi, China! Emailing you now. June 7, 2009 – 9:25 pm

lanie - Hi jeff and lisa, same with China I was searching the net for timothy hay suppliers when I came across your website. I was hoping you could email me also the source of your timothy hay. I just recently got a couple of rabbits as pets and I’m having problems with cholo (my male rabbit) bcoz he’s getting thin. I heard that timothy hay is very healthy for rabbits that’s why I want to buy some for them. Could you help me please?! thanks in advance! =DNovember 24, 2009 – 10:51 pm

Acts of Kindness

Friday, December 5, 2008 Posted in Misc. Photos, Random Personal Things

Water

Candles

The Christmas Twig

My dad was a photography enthusiast when I was a kid so I got my first camera when I was seven or eight years old. Didn’t know anything beyond pointing and shooting but I didn’t care, I was shutter-happy. It took a backseat to angst and hormones in high school, and pretty much got neglected until I took photography as an elective in college. It was a rekindling of love, and this time I was adamant in my pursuit. Only problem was I couldn’t really afford a camera of my own.

Our grandfatherly audio-visual head technician in college took pity on me and let me sneak out a camera during weekends, and provided me with a steady supply of cheap black and white film. He gave me a book on photography. He’d let me develop my own film in the darkroom during Mondays when no one else was around. Every now and then, you come across someone who changes your life forever with a few acts (or even just one act) of kindness. I’ve been seriously remiss in not seeing him as often as I should. I’ll be sure to correct that.

In other news, Jeff and I had Erwin and Odeng’s shoot yesterday! Will post pictures soon.
