Alyannah's Picture Gallery

As promised, here is my post showcasing the photos that Alyannah took during my birthday week. I will also include here other photos that she took over the past couple of months. You see, our little girl impressed her titas not only with her shopping/lakwatsa/lakaran endurance, but also with the photos that she took. So allow the stage mother to brag. Hehe!

When we bought a new DSLR, we gave our old Sony digicam to Aly, hoping that she will take interest in taking photos. I'm glad that she did! All we had to teach her were the basics on how to operate the camera -- how to turn it on/off, how to take a shot, and the like. She would also tinker with the camera on her own...blah, blah, blah...Ok, I know you're no longer interested in this because you want to see the photos already so without further ado, here are the photos that our future photographer, Alyannah, took with her digicam:

Let's start with her favorite subject, herself...


...then, she also discovered the mirror...



...she got more creative by taking photos upside down.



When Aly learned how to use the self-timer, it became her favorite.

Nung una, paupo-upo lang sya, tapos natuto din syang mag-pose...


...and to use a different angle.


Syempre, hindi pwedeng mawala si Becky, one of her favorite subjects.




She also likes these "you shoot me, I shoot you" pics...


This is one of my favorite pics because she was able to capture her lolo Bernie's smile.


Now, let me show you the photos that she took at the Grand Palace when our visitors were here.
Aly took these photos like a pro. She would kneel down to get a better angle, she'd wait for the other people to pass by, etc. She became a bit bossy too because she would bark orders to her titas like "stay there", "don't move", "stop", etc. She got carried away so I had to remind her to say "please" and to ask the titas nicely.

The next day, Aly also took photos of my birthday party at R&B Karaoke.

That's all for now! I will collect more photos so I can brag again. Hehe!

Before I close this post, here's one more look at our little photographer:

Great job, Aly! Mom and dad are very proud of you! *Hugs!!*

Notice how she also uses the viewfinder even if it's a point-and-shoot camera? Feeling naka DSLR din sya.

Wat Phra Kaew and Grand Palace Complex

This place is definitely a must-see for tourists. The first time we went to the Grand Palace was when our first visitors, mom and dad, went here last May (if you want to see that post, click here). For our second batch of visitors, the nyoras, I made sure to include this in their itinerary because it's a great place for picture taking. This weekend, our ninang Bles and her family will be flying in and we are scheduled to take them to the Grand Palace on Sunday. I wouldn't mind going to this place again and again because of its beauty. Nevermind that it's hot (I got sunburn the last time we went there), I needed to sweat out all the junk that I've been eating anyway. Hehe!
a
Without further ado, let me share with you some of the photos that I took...

...pero bago ang lahat, commercial muna...I saw this sticker on the cab that we took. Ang kulit!
a
This is my favorite shot of my boyfriend Brenda. And no, we're not gay, that's just our term of endearment.

My little girl also took photos using her own camera. I will show them on another post so watch out for it!
a
Another one of my favorite shots...Lette always has a camera-ready smile.
a
My mommy Jeng needs no directions. She's a natural. And photogenic too!
a
I've never seen a bad picture of Dionne...you lucky girl!
a

Napagod na ang mga lola. Kami lang yata sa mga nagpunta dun ang may baon na snacks. Iba talaga ang mga Pinoy!

It's funny how the girls got tired easily. To think we were only walking in the complex for barely an hour. Pero kung nasa mall yan, kahit maghapon na naglalakad ok lang. Oh well...blame it on the heat I guess. So from Grand Palace, we headed to Platinum Mall. The moment they heard the word "mall", they were instantly recharged and raring to go! Hay...the wonders that retail therapy can do.
