a pho(to) (sur)prise birthday gift!

i definitely could not beat the surprise party jay gave me last month, but i surely caught his attention with this unique gift i created from scratch......


yes, that's jay on the left and menca on the right. i dug up jay's old and stained sepia picture, scanned and processed it in black and white. next, i showed menca her dada's pic, and together with the help of her two nanas (rita and jo), i forced (more like begged!) her to pose; all i really wanted was her to tilt her head, and wala! this was the outcome, after a hundred shutter tries.

hay worth it naman....

jay was happy and proud that his daughter really does look like him! this frame now hangs in our room, atop our bed.

belated happy happy birthday dada jay! - jay's birthday was last saturday, march 9 :-)
