Kynan’s the baby brother I never had, maybe that’s why my parents, sibling and I spoil him rotten from time to time. He celebrated his 7th birthday last week and had his party last Sunday. It was fun, as you can see from his reactions. I have a whole lot of other candid shots of this cutie but I am afraid it’s all too much to fit in one post!

I wish more birthdays for my favorite weekend playmate and oftentimes mortal enemy. Haha. I also wish him more teeth, but I’m pretty sure I’d miss his toothless smile. Isn’t it precious? 🙂

1/52: Princess

1of52bw

She’s Miki, a monicker for my family’s energy bunny. She’s Princess Mikaela, but she’s really too rowdy and boisterous to actually be called a princess. But she makes us happy, she makes us laugh. She’s a delight to be with especially when she argues that she’d rather be called Robin, Robin Padilla. She has a puppy named Blackjack, which she endearingly calls Tuta. She has an infectious laughter, and she eats like a 10-year-old. She’s everyone’s favorite.

This year, I want to take photographs. Doing 365 is out of the question so here’s a shot for 52 weeks of Black and White.

The Promise to Do Better

I started 2013 by being wacky and I wish that by the end of the year, I still have this silliness in me. People are supposed to change consistently, right, but I don’t want this part of me to change. I do hope that whatever shit I get myself into this year, I’d still manage to smile and laugh at the end of the day. I am pretty sure that this year’ll be one roller coaster ride, but I have always loved roller coasters so I’m pretty excited! (I know, I don’t make sense sometimes.)

I have thought of coming up with another comprehensive list of plans and goals for this year, but I did that for 2012 and look what little it helped. Then I thought of not doing another one, because heck, I’d probably end up not doing a single thing from the list! But then here I am, trying to come up with another because really, I cannot sit still without knowing that I have some things to accomplish for this year. I always rely on lists, making one the first thing I do for everything. It’s not like I religiously follow them, but there’s just something so fulfilling about crossing out an item.

You know, there’s at least something that I vowed last year that  tried to do until the very end, and that’s to go out of my comfort zone! And to live recklessly! I didn’t take giant steps but I took human steps, okay. I also don’t know what that means, but at least it’s not just baby steps. Heh. But there are some things that I did last year that 2011 Jane wouldn’t have done. That’s why at the end of 2012, I was happy. And I still am, of course.

As usual, I do not have a new year’s resolution because I know I’ll never be able to faithfully do it anyway. But there are some things I want to try and some things I know I should do.
