Three Pairs of Shoes


Oh no… these are not my sandals and shoes. I cannot afford to have these wide arrays of footwear. I took this photo using my cell phone from one of the shelves inside a shopping mall in Ayala, Makati City. Secret… I am not telling the name of the store. I do not want the store to have a free ad in my blog. I could not use my camera, lest the security guard might confiscate it. That is the beauty of the new cell phone techno these days. As the TV ad says, cell phone is all in one. You carry one gadget and you could enjoy plenty of useful functions. You just have to have lots of patience to know all its features. To be honest I am not so keen on cell phones. Until now, I do not know yet all the features of my cell phone. The Wi-Fi feature is great but you have to wait for the not slow but very slow connection.

So, what about the shoes? Saturday afternoon last week the 20th of Nov, I had a bonding time with my teenager niece and her best friend. The friend is a boy, so he is her boyfriend. I advanced my cash Christmas present to my niece thinking we will have more time to shop. I know she is not picky just very picky when it comes to items she would like to buy. Luckily her boyfriend is gifted with tons of patience. I just had to show them where to go. I sat at a couch nearby. I had to peek once in a while to check if a sales lady is already pulling her long hair. Good enough the well trained sales ladies entertained her well. When the sales ladies had their backs turned, I would tell my niece. When I shop I know exactly what to buy. She just smiled and said it is because she wanted the best deal.

I was at the mall at two in the afternoon. They arrived an hour late because of traffic jam. We ate lunch and snacks all at one time, before we got ready to shop. We were done with three pairs of shoes at eight in the evening. Her boyfriend had to take her home. She arrived at their house in Sta. Rosa Laguna City at eleven in the evening. It was a tiring day for three pairs of shoes. Yet, I am happy, my niece got so excited for the long hours of shopping. She sent me text message saying she will ask her brother to give her money for Christmas. We will do another round of shopping. Wish me luck folks.

Showing Your Best Smile


Have you ever been asked to pose for a photo session?

I bet the first thing you would think of, is to look your best. You have no idea who would be looking at your photos. For sure you will give your best smile. There are times when we have our photos taken and we do not like the outcome. We want to have another shot, to look our best. I recall what my sister used to tell me. I need not worry about not being so good looking in my photos.  At least I could make people happy by laughing at my photos. It is simple way of saying she wants not so good looking photos. So, we have something to laugh at.

Wacky smile. Yikes! :)

Smiling in front of the camera had its evolution too. Like many other events or phenomena. Here is a sample of a modern way of smiling, otherwise known as wacky smile. Did you say these two smile models have similarities with me? Yeah, to be honest, I am unable to deny they are my relatives, lest they are going to disown me. The girl is my niece and the boy is my nephew. Now … you know.  These kids just loved to take their photos from their cell phones. They call it wacky smile, or wacky pose. Whatever …

My niece is playful when it comes to taking photos. She had countless photos akin to what you see in here. She does not really care how she would look like. All she cares is to make the beholders smile. She is nice looking too. She is never bothered taking her photos with contorted face. For the sake of art, albeit. My nephew is also very playful even when he was a boy. He would crack jokes, we all ended up laughing. Not on his jokes but how corny the jokes were.

My blog list. What they are blogging about. ♥
