Project 2010: 153 - amazing

11.04.10

being new in a foreign place, i am always, with a child-like feel and awe of the world, amazed at the new sights and places i see.

this one's outside esplanade, just facing the famous "merlion" and fullerton hotel. i loved the lights, and i instantly regretted not bringing my camera that day. good thing, kenneth took a shot of this using his phone. oh well, there's always a next time to lug around my camera and do some serious photography!

Project 2010: 133 - a typical day

09.22.10

today was lunch out day. prior to going back to the office, we grabbed coffee at starbucks.

i was excitedly sipping and mixing my white chocolate frap, while chatting with the guys that i didn't realize the mess i had made on my blouse - and a white blouse at that. when i looked down i was too late. eek! i was like a baby who cannot be without a bib!

if i may use Jeff's words to describe what happened (who by the way also took this shot after i pestered him into it): a frap with a touch of "blouse" for extra "oomph"on the flavor.

in the end, i laughed it off - there's nothing that a splash of water cannot fix. after all, just another typical day in tee's clumsyland.

Project 2010: 8 - eskimo

01.30.10

bummer. weekend. snow storm.

but then again, better make the most out of it.

when life throws snow, make a snowman! or a snow angel!

i honestly tried making a snow man, but i know i was going nowhere. my hands were numb from the cold and i only curled up a ball as small as those squishy stress balls. and i couldn't dare making a snow angel. there wasn't enough snow to make one - it was just around 6-8 inches. i might end up lying on the ground, with mud all over me for all i know.

and so, i did what i do best. take pictures of myself.

featuring me, as an eskimo! lol :>

Project 2010: 4 - snowfight!!!

01.25.10

snow, snow, my first ever snow! boy, was i uber happy about it!

it felt like i was witnessing something magical for the first time.

i just couldn't resist curling it into a ball. i didn' throw it at anyone, though. but, that gives me a naughty little idea next time. *evil grin*

Proj 96 of 365 - food trip!

there’s a reason why anniversaries are only once a year.

one, to celebrate a milestone, and next, so that we won’t triple in size in a year.

for today, on our second year, it was a lunch date at 10th dove, then movies (with popcorn), then coffee @ gloria jeans, then capped with dinner at spaghetti factory!

imagine if it were everyday! the thought of it already makes me feel fat! :P

Proj 95 of 365 - what's in a name?

09.19.09

i am called by so many names. i wouldn’t wonder if one day i send formal invites with my name on it and people would just scratch their heads and say “who the heck is this girl?”

people at home or relatives call me Chinee - being born with chinky-eyes, ‘chinita’.

when i was in grade school, i was called KC, after my initials.

high school was the age of mIRC, and i was known for my chat names too. then i became Ti-Ann, a syllable shorter than my name.

work counterparts call me by a formal name, Kristie. a few people know that my two names really have a hyphen in between, so they just use the first name to address me. at first it felt really weird, at some point i can actually feel goosebumps! after hearing the name a few times, i have acquired an immunity to the name. lucky for my counterparts, i must say! a nun from kindergarten used to call me Kristie and i never, ever looked back or even twitched in recognition!

of all the names i am called, my favorite would have to be Tee. it started in high school when my friend R and i toyed with our names and started calling each other by first letter! we cheated, though, there are so many Kayes to begin with. and so we became R and T, much like S and B from gossip girl even before gossip girl was written.

back to that invite. to avoid confusion, i couldn’t possibly put in my name as Kristie-Ann/KC/Tee/Ti-Ann/Chinee, right?

p.s. personalized ring was given by the guy who calls me by that name and i just know upon hearing it, has a special sound to it. happy anniv! ;>

Proj 68 of 365 - moments like this

(06.28.09)

sometimes it feels like we’ve been programmed to put on a face when we know someone’s watching. a smiling, happy face at that.

moments like this, when we're caught off-guard, when we smile without knowledge or care that someone's looking or not, radiating the happiness we feel down inside - NOW, that's special.

Proj 47 of 365: a baby's face

chubby, chubby, stubby cheeks. trusting eyes. a small, happy smile.

i swear i have a toddler version pic of this look at home. way cuter and cuddly than now, though.

after all those years, deep down, it seems, i'm still that child.
