Summer's Almost Over

Yes, Summer's almost over, I can feel the Autumn chill and I haven't even started sorting our Summer photos. While I was checking these beautiful floral crosses for a friend, I have uploaded some of our photos in Flickr and saw this.

Interesting yet creepy right?
Will make a separate entry where this photo was taken and will also tell you about that particular Summer trip.

Happy weekend!

Oh, I am dreading the Winter already. Yay!

festive feeling

It's a quiet Sunday and while Stripe is busy looking for led flashlights, I cannot help but think about this festive place which is 20-minute drive from our place. It is open during weekends only and will be closed by Autumn.

They have live country music, market with veggies that are so cheap but so fresh.


Huge Sunflowers...

Fresh and finest home-made American condiments, dips and jellies...

And the last time we went there, we found this dead stinky crab hidden under the sand.
Well, that was a bonus.


How was your Sunday?

wisdom from tissues

I got these tissues from this quaint coffee shop in one of the busiest corners of D.C. Their pastries and coffee are so cheap yet so delectable that if they have one near our place, I am pretty sure I would be a frequent costumer. The message in these tissues are so nice and full of wisdom. This made me think that tissues may be nice personalized gifts idea for a friend who is getting married. Hmmm.

Speaking of weddings, these 2 people in the photo are getting married next month. I am honored to be their Matron-of-Honor. The bride, I have known and has been like a family to me for more than 10 years already. She had been single for quite a while and I was too excited to find out about their dating milestones and eventually, engagement.

They've known each other for more than 15 years already but it is through one of my blogs that they got reconnected and finally fell in love (wink wink!). So you could just imagine my excitement on their big day, that if only I have all the money in the world, I would book them a Royal Caribbean cruise for their honeymoon!

Best Wishes J&C, I know you'd have a very beautiful Autumn Wedding!

On Weddings.

This particular photo was taken in Central Park. Isn't it beautiful and very classy? I love the bride's shoes, you should see the bridesmaids very dainty necklaces, looks like they ordered from this wholesale jewelry supplier. I was just too shy to take photo that I had to take it on the side. There were too many tourists who were photographing them as well.

Hmmm, I have an inkling their reception was in the BoatHouse.

unlike.

Ah, before I check this business card printing site, let me make this confession.
I haven't been taking photos for my P365 since July 1. I know, bad me.
But things have been pretty busy, busy is an understatement.
That and I just started to lose interest.
Not on taking photos, because I love, LOVE photography but more of forcing myself to take a photo daily even when I am not in the mood. So I fail again with this project hahah! Instead, I am more persistent in organizing our travel photos and of course, mini-S' growing up photos because a dear friend is just waiting for my excel and organized photos so she could start doing the photobooks :).

With that, I shall leave you with this relaxing weekend photo I took in May, guess where?
XOXO! :P (on second thought, I can still come up with the P365 photobook but this time July-December would be random shots and they would not be a complete P365, did I make sense? Hee hee)

P365-MMX:0419: Biking.

Stripe and I never thought we will have weight issues or would even consider taking phentermine. I am just simply happy that we are both supportive in terms of our fitness routines. For 2 months now, we have been biking and jogging in the nearby park. Boy, I have developed a love affair with biking and even considered on getting my own so we wouldn't share on 1 bike anymore.

I like it more when there are high terrains and those paths that have obstacles such as this which makes biking more challenging. I guess next time, we will try triathlon. Hee hee.

Have a Healthy Weekend everyone!

P365-MMX:0413: Summer Books.

Time flies so fast, mini-Stripe will be in Kindergarten this coming school year. He's getting bigger and longer each day and he no longer fits in his stroller similar to this Bob revolution. I have seen the curriculum even before he finished Pre-K and seriously, it is a packed Kindergarten school year. To keep him busy this Summer and get him prepared for Kindergarten, I bought these workbooks.

P365-MMX:0407: Banana Split.

Stripe has the craziest ideas.
One night, we were having a DVD marathon when suddenly he thought of preparing 4 bowls of his version of Banana Split! And told mini-Stripe that we were having an eating contest (me and him). Of course, I have no way to say NO especially after seeing the excited smiles of our little boy.

I lost!

Now blame the extra pounds of Stripe to his craziest idea. These best weight loss supplements would do him good hee hee.

P365-MMX:0406: Dry Leaves.

Before I check on this affiliate marketing network, let me share this Autumn-like photo I took on a Spring day. The leaves resemble the ones that I used to see during Autumn. I love how this spot were covered with so many trees and had only a small ray of sunlight. I did not do any photo-editing and it created this melodramatic photo.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!
