The past month or so

Just a bit of free time now, away from work. I should write something more substantial real soon, I have so much to say. But for now, colored pixels will have to do.

Some pics from the country club at the Ayala Greenfield Estates in Laguna. We’ve actually been there twice already, once in March and once during the past weekend. Both times it rained and we contented ourselves with swimming happily in the drizzle. No pics of me here, as I was lurking behind my trusty camera.

First up: landscapes.

Now a couple of pics from Lani’s despedida party. This should’ve been posted ages ago.

A tad of Ria, K-Ann, me, Madel, and a sprinkling of Aisa.

She’s got a ticket to ride.

Quite blurry. I love the emotion though. Aisa, true to form, poses with deadly accuracy. Heh-heh.

What we call a crowd shot. That’s Charisse holding the hot pink phone.

Krissy trying to get the people to count off for a session of Charades.

And now the lone respectable shot I got during Rockestra, before one of the ushers threatened to confiscate my camera. In my defense, I did not know taking pictures was prohibited. There were no signs saying so.

Music that night was amazing, but the venue? Uggh.

Illuminated streets of the PICC Complex.

That’s Star City glimmering in the background.

Finally, some pics from the medical conference at Crowne Plaza Hotel, which my Mom helped organize. I got Common Ground to sing in it. Yay!

Nice lighting.

Doctors, most of whom do not know how to unwind. How about tapping your feet to the beat, people? How about snapping your fingers every now and then? Jeez.
