yes. insert english accent right there.

My brother, JB, and I are 10 years apart. He was born June 20th in 1974, and I was born in September of 1984. Therefore, out of all my three brothers, he is THE older brother. I mean, sure, I love 'em all, but with Kuya Tim taking on the role of my twin, and Kuya Ace going for class (family) clown, Kuya JB is everyone's Older Brother.

The responsible one.
The "leader".
He was Red 1.
The one who called the shots...
...yet also the one who took the blame.

And, as the youngest (and only) sister, I am the one he treated as a baby. Seriously. He took care of me (yet he also bossed me around) and he's the one I run to when my "twin" makes fun of me. He taught me a lot of things. From math to history, from riding a bike to skateboarding, from HTML to "artistic" photography, from blogging to chatting to loving all the books i can get my hands on...

Yeah. That's Kuya JB. MY Kuya Jabes.

with the arrival of summer comes... summer pics! this one's pretty old, and i rediscovered it among the many, many (manymanymany) photos in our computer.

jumping, posing, and having fun (all at the same time!) is my cousin, David Joshua...otherwise known as Badê. don't ask me why.

i SO love this shot because of the colors: the bright blues of the pool, the bright green of the trees, and, the white droplets of water suspended in the air. argh. looking at this pic makes me want to dive into a pool. (not that i don't want that all the time, but that's not the point)

photo taken by my brother in Baliwag, Bulacan. March 2005.

presenting... Chelsea~! this girl is a model in the making.

first of all, she detects cameras pointed at her within a 3-meter radius.
secondly, her smile is as instant as you can make 'em.
third, she will do anything i tell her to do, and she does it perfectly.
fourth, she even puts in her own twist into her poses.

a model, i tells ya.

this pose, by the way, she did on her own. she loves yelling "ROCK ON!" holding that hand signal, and she bangs her head as if there was music playing. and her rocker facial expression is just priceless.

here, she didn't do her rocker thing, and just did a sort of angsty, smirking-type face. which is good. otherwise, her face woulda been a blur on my shot.

i'm taking advantage of her skills while there isn't a talent fee yet
