25 Manners Every kid Needs by Age 9

I came across http://staceyaltamirano.wordpress.com/ when a friend posted a link on Facebook I don't normally click a post, unless it really catches my attention. I am not a parent. Not yet, and i would love to be. So when i read the title: 25 Manners Every Kid Needs by Age 9, i knew i had to read it.

It was probably one of the shortest, yet Solid parenting guide/tips I've ever read! As an adult, we probably have forgotten these rules/manners ourselves. Since I'm more of a graphic person, decided to grab the photos, merge them together, post the photo here and my Facebook account(and acknowledge/tag the author/blogger). Bellow the photo, reads "128    March 2011    Parents", i guess that states the magazine where this image/segment came from, so I'd like to thank them too!

A friend commented on my facebook post that #17 should be "I'm sorry", right on! But then again, this isn't mine, so let's just keep it that way.

I think I'll have this one printed and hanged. Things like these will help keep our feet on the ground.

A constant reminder that we're no Gods, we're far from perfection!

s.m.o.k.e.l.e.s.s.

Been smokeless for 10 days,quite a though ride. I've been experiencing weird feelings. For some reason' I've been feeling really sick, which was odd.

I decided to check on Nicotine withdrawal symptoms, and found this site:

http://www.quitsmokingsupport.com/withdrawal1.htm

It was informative. reading that all the thing's I've been encountering was normal, helped me keep my sanity.

10 days may be short to be able to say that I'm totally smoke free. but having been able to withstand 2 drinking sessions without smoking, i think I'm getting there. Not to mention, my notebook got into a mess last week, and i was able to fix it(but lost some files) via restore, and i didn't even had the urge to smoke, i know this will all be worth it!


OK so I've managed to surpass half of August. Having been able to quit on a vice I have been with for over a decade feels good. I feel like I've succeeded on something really BIG!!! 

E-session(pre-nuptial)

I had a chance to shoot an e-session last week.

NOTE:  I WASN'T THE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER, NOR HIS BACKUP.

It was a free practice for me, and some free shots for a friend.  It was a great experience, this is really the line of photography that I wanna do-lifestyle: e-sessions/family/maternity/and other portraits.

I thank Mr. Ralph Alejandrino(the Official Photographer) for allowing me to fire along with them. for more details about him and his Wonderful works, click this link:     www.ralphalejandrino.com
To Mr. R.A.: Sir, my apologies for posting ahead of you. I will try to resist the urge to post more images, I will try to wait for you to post the official photos.

For M&M, thanks for allowing me to witness your e-session(and recording it through my own lens as well). Congratulations and  good luck to you both. Cheers!

Here's one shot... and yes, the blur was intentional!

I will post more pics, soon as the official images from Mr. R.A. comes out... or the couple gives me their go signal.

Good inspiration

IN HIS EMBRACE

I was browsing for creative ideas and inspiration for a project. Not much around, that i ended up just looking at random things. Until I stumbled in to a blogger's site. It wasn't the usual stuff I look at, not the usual stuff that I read. But it hit me...

In His Embrace

Cecile M., You are an angel. I may not have found the inspiration/idea that I needed on your site, but what I found could actually help me become, "a better me". 

Thank You.

thinking of quitting

I had my first bottle of beer when i was 12,and have been a regular drinker at 16. My first puff of smoke at 15, at 18 I was a regular.

I don't think I'm an alcoholic,but i do consume a few drinks every night(a bottle of beer or a few shots of brandy/rum/whiskey at random). And consuming 3-5 sticks of smoke a day isn't too much as well.

But for the first time in my life,I was reading blogs about battling alcoholism and tips on how to quit smoking. Guess I'm now in the process of quitting, or at least becoming an occasional drinker. As for smoking, I've recently been reading about e-pipes or electronic cigars.

Will this progress? I hope so...  

I just have to do this one day at a time...

DIY

My first post on DIY projects.

We've been renovating our home for a month now(dining and kitchen), it's beginning to look GOOD.
And the good thing about renovating is you get to play around with everything(as if you know what you're doing),and you're eager enough,you'll definitely pick up DIY/hardware tricks from pros.

I've done quite a number of DIY's, but this latest project t home is such a blast... From the hard labor to "Feeling" Interior Designer, Wood Craftsman an Electrician rolled into one!

Plus the rains and flooding and power interruptions last week...

One power-less afternoon,I was doing some electrical work when power came back, Hahaha, Luckily i was using insulated tools(check out my facbook post). https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3622236989744&set=a.1596504307693.2080348.1088521905&type=3&theater

Safety first peeps.

first blog.

sure i had written some notes in the past. i've done a lot of scribbles and sketches of just about anything that hits me. both on paper and digital. maybe it's time i try some thing different... maybe time to try blogging.

what do i really wanna say? i have no f@*#ing idea!

let's see... this blog is all about me. what i know(what i don't or what i think i know), what i do(what i've done,and what i wish to do), how i feel(or what i feel,or what i think others feel about me), and everything else in between.

people: my friends, my family, my lovely wife, etc.

things: food, bed, gym, camera stuff, DIY's, etc.

places: planet earth

events: birthdays, anniversaries,  meet ups, reunions, etc.

i hope this blog becomes a reflection of who i am. maybe guide someone into accomplishing something he/she has been longing to do.

welcome to my world!
