January 25, Birthday Cake!

  January Zelene       2:24 AM       2012 Photo Challenge , 365 Photo a Day Challenge 2015 , Birthday , Cake , Food , January 2015       9 comments    

January 25th, 37 years ago a little girl was born. She was named January, after a character in a movie that her mother had seen during her pregnancy, and good thing she delivered the baby also in the first month of the year. 

But because of “doctor’s secretary issue”, she was registered under the name “Baby Girl”. Three years later, after mom had seen the birth certificate, she applied to have it changed, hence, the baby girl is now carrying the name of January, and that’s ME! J hehe

My 37the year of existence was celebrated together with my husband, two kids and my closest friends and sister in law at home.

Birthdays are not complete without the cake, that's the reason why I bought a small dedication cake at Goldilocks. 



Wonder why the cake looks like that? 

Well, while we were busy doing something else, the little boy picked up the cake, which unfortunately placed on top of the chair by our helper, that was within his reach,. The next thing we've seen, he was already carrying the box (with the cake in it) to the living room.

Anyway, it’s still looking like a cake… J


All smile for the birthday girl! Thank you Lord for another year!

Fiery Sunset at CDO

  January Zelene       7:24 PM       2012 Photo Challenge , Clouds and Skies , Mellow Yellow Monday , Skywatch Friday , sunset       8 comments    

This photo was taken last Friday May 4, 2012. On our way home from SM City CDO I noticed this fiery sunset against the mountains and trees. I asked hubby to pull-over so that I can capture the scene. The result straight from the camera is quite impressive.


No tweaks has been done this photo, just added border and watermark.

BPC 61/366 [ Dawn ]

  January Zelene       6:46 PM       2012 Photo Challenge , Aircraft , Mobile Photos , Skywatch Friday       3 comments    

I've been idle almost the whole month of February, why because I was busy with my day job as an employee in the corporate world and my night duties as a wife and a mother of a 1 year and 3 month old boy. I was too tired to open up my computer and update my blog. yikes!

Time flies so fast and it's now March 2012, I'm here again trying my best to make myself update my blog and visit other blogs too. I do hope I'll be able complete my blog tasks this month. I'm crossing fingers again...

Anyway, here's my first share this month...

BPC 31/366 [ Ponpom Candles ]

  January Zelene       6:30 PM       2012 Photo Challenge , Flower 101 , Wednesday Whites , Weeds       18 comments    

The flower in this picture is actually flowers from a weed that have grown in our front yard. The buds look likes candles, while the full bloomed flowers looks like a ponpom.


A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.

Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile, some have a sad expression, some are pensive and diffident, others again are plain, honest and upright.
~Henry Ward Beecher~

An orange cosmos flower for you.

Deformity is sometimes pretty, just like this green leaf. Though curled and deformed but it's still looking pretty and unique.

This red flower outside our apartment looks like she's sticking her tongue out. I think this fellow belongs to the heliconia family. What do you think?

It's raining outside, and we can't get out for lunch break. The office cafeteria is 5 minute walk away from our office. Now what should we do? Should I used an umbrella and walk my way for lunch or ride the car? Hmmm, I should take the car instead....lol

BPC 18/366 [ Lights on Driftwood ]

  January Zelene       4:55 PM       2012 Photo Challenge , things and stuffs , Woods       5 comments    

I took this photo on May 20, 2009 in a grill restaurant in Zamboanga City. I really loved how they managed to make this ordinary driftwood into a work of art, by placing several pin lights, viola it became a unique ceiling decoration/chandelier.

I saw these Orange "Vandas" at our landlord's front yard. The fence prevented me in taking a closer look. I have no choice but to take a snap from a distance using my Sigma 70-300mm lens. This is the best close-up I could ever get from where I stood.

I had posted the same flower last Friday and Saturday, and today will be the last one of should I say "The Wild Sunflower" series.

I took this photo still using a point and shoot camera, this time I chose a subject that was well lighted by the sun.


The outcome was great for me. What do you think?

BPC 14/366 [ As If Wanted to Cry]

  January Zelene       5:31 PM       2012 Photo Challenge , People Photography , Xyrus Photos       7 comments    

Another late post for BPC. I was told by BPC admin that only one entry is allowed per blogger (sorry for that, I wasn't able to read the guidelines) so I'll be posting my little prince photos here instead.

This photo was taken yesterday while Xye having his morning walk outside the apartment. He was actually making faces while I'm taking his photos from a distance using a 70-300mm lens.

How about making his face as "if wanted to cry"...


effective ba?

Yesterday I had this pretty lady posed against the bright blue sky, now I wanted to show off her frontal beauty. Though taken only using a point and shoot but still it came out great.

BPC 12/366 - Wild Sunflower and Blue Sky

  January Zelene       5:16 PM       2012 Photo Challenge , Clouds and Skies , Flower 101 , Skywatch Friday       15 comments    

I had another chance to take some snaps of the wild sunflower along the hilly and winding highway of Bukidnon on our way to my husband's hometown in Cabanglasan, Bukidnon. These flowers are abundant in the area, and every time we went there I make sure to take some photos because I really love the vibrant yellow color and the formation of the petals.


This time I photographed her against the bright blue sky using only my point and shoot camera. Tomorrow watch out for the close encounter with this pretty lady in yellow.
