Juvy
27 JulYou all know my friend Juvy by now right? If not then here’s another chance to get to know her, through photographs.
Along with a couple of other photographers, Juvy’s friends and my family, we set out to Ras Al Khaimah’s Ghost Town on a scorcher of a Saturday. The plan was to do a summer themed shoot with at least 3 wardrobe changes. There was supposed to be another model but she got called away to work so Juvy had to be a trooper and pose for the entire day, or for as long as we could stand the heat!
More after the jump.

His name is Luca
21 JunLast weekend, we travelled down to The Vet Hospital in Al Quoz as they were hosting an adoption/fostering programme for Feline Friends. Bernie found the advert on 7 Days and thought we’d take a look; not intending to adopt any cats at all. I wasn’t sure if the kids were ready for this kind of responsibility.
It was a swift process; they take your details, ask you some questions to see if you are suitable to adopt or foster a cat. Then they show you to where the cats were kept in their own carrying cases. It was so difficult because each cat we saw was more adorable than the one before! But I knew in my mind that I wanted an older cat, not a kitten definitely because I don’t want to be the one saddled with house-training them.
We were considering one of two brothers, either Bert or Ernie, yeah no kidding! Bert was ginger and Ernie was ginger and white. They were 1-year old and right away I knew they were not for us. Bert was so curious and would not sit or lay still. Ernie refused to get out of the box. So that was that.
We asked to see another cat, an older tabby and we all fell in love with him. Not Bernie right away because he wanted a cat with a tail, and this cat’s tail was cut short, don’t know why. Meet Luca!

Day 2 Part 2: Evening
9 JunSixteen years ago to the minute, Eileen Victoria Viernes was born. She is the only one of my four children who arrived right on schedule. One was a day early, one was two days late and another was two weeks too early. Plus she is my only child who lives up to the family name: she was born on a Friday (Viernes is Friday in Spanish).
This is an incomplete family photograph, but you get the idea. The star of the evening is right in the middle; Lord knows how I managed to convince them to dress up properly for dinner!

Day 2 Part 1: Morning
9 JunThere’s something about sleeping in another bed. Well, in my next case, the lack of it. I turned in at nearly 2am and kept tossing and turning. The bed was soft, the pillows were fluffy and the duvet was warm and soft, but I just could not sleep. I must have dozed off a bit at dawn but was up bright and early at 6.30.
The family were up at 8.30 and we headed out to get some breakfast. Here’s an unconventional family portrait. I like it.

A new chapter begins
22 MayThe past week was quite eventful : I knitted a sweater in 4 days, I stepped out of the flat while the sun was still up which is about as exciting as my life gets these days and Eibee graduated from high school. But before that, there was Senior Ball. I was not set up to take proper photos but I think I managed to get them okay.

In pursuit of a chopper
21 MayA while ago, my son Patrick was in hot pursuit of a remote controlled helicopter toy. The first one he got at Magic Planet from the points we accumulated was a really dodgy one so we promised him we’ll get him a better one. So last weekend, we went to the Great Mall of China in pursuit of a chopper.
But before all that, let me show you a sneak peek on a new yarn base for the shop. This is 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon in fingering weight, put up as 100g skeins with about 380 yards post-dyeing. This test skein is called Ballerina, a delicate and very feminine shade of pink.

And then it was Saturday
11 AprThe gossip girls.
Together again.
Ha ha! It’s been a couple of months since we last saw each other so this was a special day. Thanks to Juvy for thinking about setting this up and to Myrene and Jezzel or actually turning up! Lunch and coffee was not nearly enough time to catch up properly. We have to do this again. And Juvy can pay then!
