This is one of those pictures I just kept on forgetting to edit. I took this photo early this year on a trip to Long Island. We just happened to pass by one of those year round fairs. And even though the car was in motion, I just couldn't let this moment pass me by... I zoomed in and caught this only one image... then I was very happy =)
Oh goodness! I just noticed I haven't post anything for over a month now. Hopefully that'll change =P.
These are some of the pictures I took when I went to the beach about a month ago. I love the beach ♥ but I live almost 3 hours away from the coast. So whenever I get to treat myself with sand and salty water, it is like pure luxury to me ;)
“The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.”
This is one of those places that I love to visit whenever I get the chance to. Every time I make it here it's like escaping somewhere far and the drive is only 15 minutes from home. I love it's peaceful atmosphere but the the heavenly and sweet fragrance of this beautiful and captivating place is what keeps me coming back.
My mom came with me for the first time the other day and she loved it. Just the feeling of being surrounded by so many gorgeous flowers makes any one's spirit sing with joy.
it is the perfect complement for my morning routine :) ♥
Trying to catch up on my 52 weeks proyect, I've been slacking off so much... sigh... will get back on track.
I'm also having so much fun with my new camera {Nikon D7000} I just recently purchased and I love it!
Went out today and shoot my friend's daughter's soccer game. I got some good shots of her kicking the ball so I'm happy about that. :)
It's hard to focus only on the future when your memory is like a mirror reflecting on moments from the past... I want to hold on and never forget the moments that made me happy and blur away the ones that made me sad.
Beauty, truth, friendship, love, creation – these are the great values of life. We can't prove them, or explain them, yet they are the most stable things in our lives.
I was invited by Angel to link up for her 3rd Photo Challenge themed VINTAGE. I got very excited when she asked me since I love vintage pictures! :)
I don't know what it is but there's something about a window and a flower in a vase that I love... this is the window sill of my kitchen that's right in front of my sink. I always try to have at least one flower in a vase. Just a simple flower makes me happy especially to look at while doing the dishes.
To make this photo look vintage, I decided to experiment with one of Kristy's textures that I won from her a few weeks ago. I really love how this photo turned out! I can't wait to try her other textures! Check out her blog @ Life-n-Reflection . Thanks Kristy for your wonderful textures!! And keep up the great work!! ;)
I also want to say thank you to all of you who stop by and leave a sweet comment every time. I really appreciate it very much. It makes me happy to see that I'm not just posting to a void space. Thank you, thank you, thank you! from the bottom of my heart! I also look forward to visiting each and everyone's blog as soon as I get a chance to- that way I can return the favor ;).
Candles for the mood and all I'm missing is you...
*in the bowl above* home made ingredients for a soft skin
that you may already have in your kitchen
In a blender, blend in the following ingredients:
separately ground 1-cup oatmeal in a blender
(set a side)
blend together the following ingredients:
1/4 honeydew melon (sliced)
1-cup plain yogurt
1/4 quart cup honey
1-cup milk
pour blended ingredients in container
then pour in your bath
put ground oatmeal in a sachet bag
or use a clean sock like I did,
secure with a knot or tie with a string and place under running water
squeeze oatmeal from time to time
and last, I used
chamomile for a delicate soothing fragrance
I grabbed about 2 tablespoons and just sprinkled in the water
oh and don't forget the candles for great ambiance :)
*warning* you may not want to come out of the bath :p
Since I was behind on my 52 week project, I decided to catch up today by posting one more photo.
This one was supposed to get done before valentines day, but things always get on the way- so I thought why not still upload a photo that resembles L♥VE, right? After all, every day is love day... we all need love in order to breath better in life.
I have to admit I'm a horrible blogger. I've been very distracted lately and that is why I haven't been able to post anything for almost a month!! What was I thinking? Hopefully this won't happen again... sigh.... we'll see what happens. Wishing everyone who reads this a lovely weekend!! ;)
I'm very excited to say that this photo won first place @ My 3 Boybarians' blog, Sweet Shot Tuesday link up party from last week! I feel very honored! Thank you so much to Kristy @ life-n-reflection for the wonderful kit and textures can wait to start using them on my photos!! ;)
And thank you so much Angel for including mine as one of your favorites on your blog!! ♥
I also would like to say thank you to all of you for all your lovely comments! It brightens my day and makes me so happy! ;)
Juan Luis Guerra Bachata en Fukuoka
♥
Dile a la mañana que se acerca mi sueño
que lo que se espera con paciencia se logra
nueve horas a París viajé sin saberlo
y crucé por Rusia con escala en tu boca
Yo canté tu bachata aquí en Fukuoka
(tu bachata en Fukuoka)
Y un atardecer pintó de canvas el cielo
caminé la playa de Momochi, mi anhelo
y se me escapó una sonrisa del alma
aquí me enseñó arigato gozaimasu
Yo canté tu bachata aquí en Fukuoka
Pa’bailar contigo, (pa’bailar)
se me alegra la nota
Quiero cantar contigo, (quiero)
una bachata en Fukuoka
Una bachata en Fukuoka, (pa’ soñar contigo)
en el mar las gaviotas
Con tu piel de abrigo (quiero)
vivir bachata en Fukuoka
Y llegó la hora de partir y decir sayonara (con pocas ganas)
Well finally, I got around the 2/52 project. I couldn't resist but to post a few shots of the series I took.
Here they are, hope you enjoy this cup of joy!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!!
I decided to start a 52 week photo project about "still life"

The question is, will I be able to finish? Well, we'll see about that! lol wish me luck!
