. day nine - monday morning.

A Monday morning treat.

A surprising space in the middle of a secluded village. A gallery that is also a home, with walls adorned with wonderful pieces of art.


This black wall is only one of many. Complete and utter wall envy.

.day seven and eight - the cook off.

A different kind of surprise party. Five teams, fifteen dishes. A whole lot of food!

And due to the lack of internet service, days seven and eight are combined with photos of our food and a glimpse of the night of cooking and good fun.

.art and emotion.

When the impulses which stir us to profound emotion are integrated with the medium of expression, every interview of the soul may become art. This is contingent upon mastery of the medium.

Hans Hofmann

.day six - friends & conversations.

Sometimes a monday evening get together is all you need.

It starts your week with smiles. 

It gives you a wine headache on a Tuesday morning.

It gives you new pictures to add to your memories folder.

It reminds you of good times, good friends, great conversations and a whole load of laughter.

Monday evenings out are rare. But they are so worth it (especially when the husband is part of the fun).

.day five - remembering.

remembering our honeymoon in Jamaica. Sept 2007.

. day four - creative sessions.

A day spent in design meetings and a photography studio.


These creative sessions bring on the fire that lies inside of me. It ignites that spark and bubbles in excitement.  Creative conversations, insights, views, perspectives. New projects, new concepts, and a whole different side to my creative mind.


A great day.

.day one - family lunch.

Sunday lunches with my family are always loud.  It is as if everyone just wants to speak over each other so they can get a word in. With this huge Filipino family, get togethers will always be about echoes of shouting over each other,  jokes, laughter,  craziness, and pure and utter noise.

Somehow you just get used to it and leave feeling happy and content.
