Marbles, the Internet Easter Bunny

Monday, April 13, 2009 Posted in Marbles, Random Personal Things

Marbles had a great Easter Sunday. He spent a good part of the day on a yoga mat.

He kept running around and binkying happily because the traction of the mat was something new for him. He’d go to Lisa for some veggies, chew, then run around again. When his veggies ran out, he tried to eat the mat. It probably reminded him too much of carrots.

He always settles down and snuggles in to the sound of Lisa’s voice. It’s one of the only three things that put him right to sleep, the second being snuggled by her, and the third, overeating. Sort of like me, I guess.

Belated Happy Easter to everyone!

Schedule Updates and Rabbit Shenanigans

Sunday, March 15, 2009 Posted in Announcements, Marbles, Random Personal Things

December 2009 is officially fully booked. The rest of the year isn’t as busy though so chances are we’re still available for your wedding date. We didn’t use to accept bookings for weddings that are more than 16 months away, but the entire year of 2010 is now open for bookings.

Jeff and I were talking to two Singapore-based couples last month about having their engagement shoots there in September ~~but since September is F1 month in SG, we’ve all decided to move it up to June~~. Due to a schedule conflict with one of our couples, we’re sticking to our original schedule in September. We’ll be in Singapore this September 1-5. Shoot us an email if you’re interested. We have ~~two slots~~ one slot available.

We’re really psyched about Singapore because it’s our first shoot out of the country. We don’t intend on doing this often because we’re going to miss Marbles too much if we did, but it’ll be something nice and different every now and then.

Speaking of Marbles, the other day, he let me bubble kiss his head and belly repeatedly without acting like a teenager being embarrassed by his mother’s affections (which is usually the case).

Last night while we were sleeping, he projectile peed out of the corner of his cage. To make up for it, he flipped his litter box on its side so the litter would pour out and cover his pee. Thanks a lot, furrybutt.

Helene - Hahaha, that is such an adorable picture of Marbles! Reminds me of an expression Mari occasionally makes, hehehe!

Can’t wait to see you guys!March 15, 2009 – 10:05 pm

Lisa - If I happen to look constipated while shooting Mari, don’t worry, I’m just trying my best not to pinch and squish the baby. Haha. I’m kidding. Sorta.

I’m jumping out of my skin with excitement. I’ve hoarded film so I can take some film shots of Mari too. Well, okay, I hoarded film because I’m a lunatic, but I still want to get some film shots of him. Can’t wait!March 16, 2009 – 1:05 am

Gia - Hi Lisa! Congrats on your Singapore wedding, I’m sure it will be awesome. And you’ll be celebrating your birthday there as well! Woo! Ah that picture of Marbles is so cute. I’m actually dying of cute as we speak. Lol Rabbits are mischievous! Booni did chew his way out of his room last night. He chewed a hole on his door, and the next thing I know is that he’s out already. And he had this contented look like he won something. One of his many mischiefs! Buti na lang napaka-adorable kung hindi naluto na yun matagal na. March 16, 2009 – 11:37 am

Lisa - Hi, Gia! We have engagement shoots lined up for Sg — it’s not for a wedding. Looking forward to those and all the rabbit treats in Singapore. Jeff is scared I’m going to bring home a Netherland Dwarf but I don’t think I could subject a rabbit to a plane ride. Cars are traumatizing enough as it is.

Through an entire door?! I can imagine how well-filed his teeth are now, haha. Booni’s so funny! At least he owns up to it. Marbles’ thing is he will pretend to not know what I’m talking about. Parang Huh? What did I do? That wasn’t me. And then he will snuggle up and groom me. Sigh. Rabbit slaves are so easily manipulated.March 16, 2009 – 10:32 pm

Judy G - ‘loo!!! Marbles is sooooooooo cute. I wanna squish!!! (with your permission, of course! hehee)March 18, 2009 – 7:50 am

Jenn - Wow SG! Dont miss the chili crabs!
I wish I were a photographer so i can take pictures of Twinky as nice as this. Or rather have my own 5D MarkII nalang.. Haha! Cute cute, kala nya nakatulong pa sya eh.
Btw, I visited the link you gave me. Im frikkin clueless on what to order for Twinky. I have two friends from SG nga na dadating sa May. I just told them, “Any bunny stuff!” And yeah, the Kaytee Papaya Yogurt as well. That baby is a sure hit! Kahit ako, occasionally inaamoy ko haha! Super true, its soooo damn hard not to give the “Her Royal Cuteness” more yogurt. After inhaling (inhale talaga) the yogurt sa hands ko, she’s like, “Meron pa? Asan? I want them all!” Hayyy..April 13, 2009 – 12:23 am

Jeff - @Jenn – Dalhin mo daw si Twinky dito, we’ll take lots of pictures of her.

We’ll get her the straw mat. Marbles has a lot of fun with those. Nakwento ni Lisa you got bitten. Hehe. Ganun talaga pag yogurt, they panic. Parang ilang taong di pinakain.April 13, 2009 – 10:07 am

Jenn - jeff seriously??? yey cge cge ^___^ kahit i shoulder bag ko nalang baby ko. di pa kase nakabili ng doggie bag ang mommy jenn eh. hay.
yeah i did, nakalimutan ko lang pakita sa inyo nung w@w party ung bite nya. mejo deep eh pero ngayon wala nang mark
lisa told me ayaw daw pakarga ni marbles. ako naman yesterday, i carried her like a baby in my arms. imagine! ang bunneh nakatulog talaga! haha! so funny April 13, 2009 – 12:58 pm

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.

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

November

Wednesday, December 3, 2008 Posted in Marbles, Misc. Photos, Random Personal Things

rain

I wanted to title this post “November Rain” but it’s probably better that I leave Guns N’ Roses in the 1990s. Jeff took that picture at Crowne Plaza when we checked in for some R&R one weekend last month. We wanted to go out of town, but couldn’t on short notice. Oh well. Improvise. Other than that, November pretty much sped right by us. We had a couple of studio shoots and a friend’s child’s birthday party to cover, but nothing wedding-related and we’re just about jumping out of our skin for the wedding and engagement shoots lined up this month. Well, at least I am.

Jeff is the mellow one, if you haven’t noticed by now. But even if he doesn’t show it as much as I do, he’s still pretty psyched. I’m grateful he balances me out this way. If he were jumping around with excitement as well, I might explode into rainbows, and we can’t have that.

I liked staying there because of the food (oh, dear God, the food) and because I could see our place outside the picture windows. I could imagine Marbles at home munching on hay and lounging, missing us. When we got back, I wanted to snuggle and make it up to him, but he just looked at us like, “Oh. You’re here.” Silly humans.

Things have also been busy behind the scenes at Beyond Megapixels, an online digital photography guide for beginners that we started from scratch last November 2007. We’ve officially let go of BMP, but we’ll contribute articles every now and then. I’m hoping we’ve built a solid enough foundation for it to reach greater heights. It’s been such an amazing experience, and that’s an understatement.

But back to the food, there’s nothing like homemade ice cream at two in the morning.
