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 67 of 365 - the final bow

creativity comes in many forms and the possibilities are definitely endless – all it takes is a bit of ingenuity, originality, inspiration and you’ve got your masterpiece. there is nothing you can’t do even if all you have is some masking tape and carpet.

this sight surprised us all when we came into the office.

inspired by MJ’s untimely demise, three officemates have knowingly or unknowingly created a tribute of some sorts to the king of pop.

“the final bow”, i’d like to think.

Proj 66 of 365 - the fight

(06.25.09)
at first glance, the pink rubbery baller band just might as well be anything. it can be a child’s accessory or something picked out from the accessory shop.

but this band’s special since this reminds me of the fight I’m currently in.

almost a week ago, i embarked on my fight which just started as my first of a series of three. i came out the first time with a needle mark, a sore arm, a bandaid and the pink baller band as trophies of my battle.

the fight against cervical cancer is definitely on.

*cervical cancer, according to statistics, is second to breast cancer as the “killers” in women. as nothing can be done to prevented breast cancer, women can now safeguard themselves against cervical cancer with immunization against the HPV, the virus which causes the dreaded cancer.

Proj 65 of 365 - moving out

(06.19.09)

i come to work everyday, sitting on the same cubicle straight out of college.

it was at the center of everything, just as i liked it – right at the middle of office chitchat and just ‘round the corner for afternoon snacks.

and now, it's pretty amazing to think that everything that makes my cube what it is can be contained in just a few boxes – memorabilia, office supplies, trinkets, and those little things. all my accumulated stuff in what seems like so many years can just be dumped in just so few containers.

and yet, by the end of the day, there was no goodbye ceremonies nor there was any ritual. i was pretty much excited to be in my new cubicle in our new building and too tired and sore from the packing to feel sentimental.

and so, for the last time, just like any other day, i walked out of the cubicle I’ve been working for the past 4+ years.

Proj 64 of 365 - coffin boxes

(06.18.09)

as so often-times heard: “someone’s trash can still be someone else’s treasure”.

with this train of thought on my mind, i say:

“someone’s old printer boxes maybe someone else’s coffin.” :D

*marvin so gamely played dead (without anyone even asking him to) and i couldn’t resist taking a shot.

Proj 63 of 365: citrus overload

(06.17.09)
rainy days are finally here, so a not-so-welcome hug to colds and the flu who’s making a comeback this season!

if it weren’t for my flu vaccine, i should’ve been leading the pack of sick people by now, starting a trend of runny noses and endless sneezes.

since i've been feeling a tad feverish today, i knew i just have to have vitamin c. with the ah1n1 scare and flus on the bay, it’s never too bad to be on the safe side.

a formula:

a bottle of colorless polish

a pad of nail stickers

and a bored, kikay girl

equals… NAIL ART!!!

Proj 61 of 365: looking beyond

do you really know what's beyond the horizon?

it seems my sister has been dying to find out...

he's been a steady rock of our lives and his presence always gives a sense of security and safety.

from healing wounds to fevers and chickenpox, to solutions to homework, to guiding us to our career paths and a lot of numerous countless things, he's always a person who you can turn to and you know you'd never be let down.

no matter how tall or old we are, papa, you'd always be someone we look up to!
happy fathers day!
