Be easy.
Take your time.
You are coming
home

The adapter for my Olympus lens arrived today. I bought it from a guy in Manila who thankfully ships directly from Manila and not from China, like the other sellers I talked to. I could not contain my excitement and had a little bit of difficulty focusing on work while wondering if the next bike coming through was the LBC guy or not. True enough, it arrived at 1 PM, exactly 24 hours after it was shipped! (Thank you, LBC!) Working this old lens again was something that I really missed. There's something about old things, especially old things that you can use to take pictures! They seem better somehow, more substantial, despite the nicks and scratches, and despite the age. After I got this lens I knew that I would never be able to part with it, and true enough, I keep finding ways to keep on using it. Feeling the weight of the metal and glass in my hand after months of tucking it away felt like coming home.
Which was just fitting since I was home. Home in a new house that I was slowly putting our stamp on, slowly turning into some semblance of a space to be filled to the brim with happy and loving memories. I have spent the better part of the past weeks making the space livable and prepping it for JP's arrival come February and not having a camera with me to take random snaps was really starting to get to me. With a broken camera and an old, battered lens, I finally was able to take a few shots and I was in heaven!
A few shots from this afternoon :D

So, let them be little 'cause they're only that way for awhile
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh, but let them be little.

Let Them Be Little
family, family, family, family, family, family, family, family, family, family, family, family, family
Oh, Alex.
This cutiepatootie was just a big baby bump when I first met his mom and dad. It felt surreal, seeing him in the flesh a few weeks later. It felt a bit weird, honestly, but a good weird, the kind that makes you wonder at the awesomeness of it all, the miracle of babies and childbirth and how amazing the human machinery is, how it is designed to produce something so beautiful, wonderful, so fantastic in such a small, fragile package.
And boy, do these tiny packages grow! It seems babies grow a centimeter taller as each day goes by. It must be the milk, the love and the attention that little bundles of joy like Alex here receive every minute of every day. And who can blame the doting aunts and grandmothers, most especially his mom? He is absolutely adorable, with his button nose, the way his tiny baby lips purse to let out a soft, quiet coo that melts the heart like butter melts on a hot scone.
(*sigh*).
Babes.
