61: Green Leafy, originally uploaded by Snap Happy Ria.
Just as I was contemplating taking photos again (I took a year off), I spotted this on our balcony. Too much wind and a lot of rain and Mother Nature came up with this three-leaf lovely – just waiting to be photographed!

Bricks, vines, and rocks. That’s what’s outside my front door.
Ah, island life… where modern amenities mingle with nature.
Love it.
P.S. It’s Monday again (in 30 minutes, to be precise). I don’t hate Mondays, I just wish weekends don’t go by so fast.

19/365 : Familiarity, originally uploaded by Snap Happy Ria.
Whenever the day draws to a close and I still have not found my photo-of-the-day, I would start rummaging through the house looking for something, anything, I could photograph. And today was one of those days. I was so caught up with this layout project I was doing that I totally forgot about the time. I looked outside and it was dark. I groaned, kicked myself in the head, and groaned again.
Anyway, this is the part where I talk about the photo and try to come up with some silly story as to why I think this is “Hong Kongy” enough for the collection. So here goes…Well, these snacks one of my favorites. Jason used to buy some for me when we lived in Manila. I would eat them with coffee, before lunch, after lunch, and at midnight (TRUE!). I was quite amazed that they sold these here in HK! Talk about global trade!
Ok that’s enough bullsh*tting for one night. But the story above is totally true.

These things greeted me as I headed out of IFC this afternoon. I have no idea what they are, but they look pretty interesting. These things actually turn with the wind, sort of like circular wind vanes. I think the idea of this installation is to have the illusion of movement with the color. But then again, maybe not. Oh well, who cares.

6/365 : Soldier Boy, originally uploaded by Snap Happy Ria.
This is a photo I took of my husband at his airsoft-wargames outing with his friends. He thought it would be a good idea for me to meet other Filipinos in Hong Kong so I tagged along and ended up as the “unofficial embedded press person.” I had to wear a protective mask though coz there were BB pellets flying all over the place. Talk about being caught in the crossfire! It sure is hard to be a photojournalist!
