My monkeys

Help me, I’m going through withdrawal symptoms here.

These are my nieces. As if I couldn’t stand any more cuteness, there are eleven more of these nieces and nephews. Fifteen in all, each one with his or her own excruciating level of adorableness and cheek-pinching huggability that’s enough to wreak havoc on a girl’s otherwise proper vocabulary.

Goodness. I miss these monkeys terribly.

    I love how you did this photo. Excellent photo; you can’t help but be enchanted with them!

    This is fabulous…they are glowing as they look at their Auntie!

    In post processing, did you think about applying a very faint lens blur on everything but their lovely cherubic faces? Some of the texture is ever so slightly distracting.

    Thanks! I didn’t take this one – my cousin did. And boy, am I glad he walked around with my camera for an hour or so that evening. I love this shot too, and I wouldn’t have thought to take it from this angle.

    Thanks, Shrewbie! I wish they were looking at their auntie in this shot, but that’s okay. Those are indeed their faces when they look at me. The little heartbreakers.

    You know, I didn’t even think about applying a blur. But you may be on to something there.

about me

I write, cook, play music, and make pictures. Not necessarily in that order. I was born and raised in the Philippines, and it shows. That means I eat rice with every meal, love my cousins like my own siblings, and firmly believe that avocados are best eaten with cream and sugar.

If you want to learn more about me, here are 43 things I'd like to do. Here's a little something about my name, in case you were wondering. Here are some other places you'll find me:
