Redoble Family

“Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication.”
- Lord Byron
Day 2 of Uncle Ange’s “Youth Night“. 10.11.2008. el Salvador.

Portraits by Mark.
Shoot Date: September 2, 2008
Model: Fruhlein Chrys Econar (a.k.a. Lucy Liu)
Camera: Fruh’s Nikon D40 with the 18-55mm kit lens.
Post Processing: Auto Levels & Auto Contrast on some of the photos. No PP done on the others except watermark placement.

Mark was busy frolicking with sea turtles underwater, so I took over clicking duties at the beach. This goes to say that I take full responsibility for all the blurry, out-of-focus shots. Freakin shutterspeedthingamajigs eluded me. Sorry. But I digress.
Our easter weekend was full of intrigue. Xyzha was especially passionate about “spreading the word.” Hahahaha. […]

Before Baby left for the States, Hastang asked Fruhlein to lend her vocal powers to “Old Lovers’ Mantra”, an original Hastang song. I wanted to invite everyone, but Fruhlein threatened mutiny if I did. So, I reluctantly gave in to the wishes of our very shy guest performer.
Tanawa ang nawng. Paminawa ang tingog. Gakurog. […]

Evidently, Khyle is one of Mark’s favorite subjects. He now has an extensive collection of Khyle’s impish smile, occasional tantrums, signature antics, and general kakengkuyan (among others).

This is Khyle, YanYan’s nephew. The one and only […]

Tita Aida

Let’s just say that Tita Aida is so excited to see her hubby again but is looking forward to catching a new hubby as well (bweheheheh), and leave […]

Guile chronicled Hastang’s recent trip in his very detailed blog post. Read it to get a sense of what Hastang went through. It’s vicarious living of sorts for me.
More pictures are available here, here, here, here, and here.
Hastang at the Centennial UP Fair (Feb. 16, 2008)

“Hastang Night” in Maru Bar (Feb. 15, 2008)

This past weekend, we rocked with Hastang in Maru Bar, joined a leftist rally on the streets of Makati, frolicked in Ayala Avenue, relived (and reenacted) our insanity at the Centennial UP Fair, shivered in the unbelievably cold breeze of Tagaytay, gaped in awe at the elegance of Sonya’s garden, discovered the perfect venue for […]

Yesterday’s dinner for January celebrants - Ate Tess and Kuya Jok and February celebrants - Kuya Roland and Kuya Didi. We had shabushabu at Thousand Cranes in Greenbelt. Healthy living na daw dapat, insisted Kuya Didi. After, we had dessert and coffee at Coffee Bean. Thanks Padre for a hearty dinner treat.

Sorry for the blurry […]
