A Birthday Cake and Dried Flowers Bouquet

N’s rendition of her birthday celebration last month: A flat lay photo of her birthday cake and dried flowers bouquet.

A flat lay is simply an image shot directly from above – a bird’s eye view of an array of carefully arranged objects – and it’s never been more popular, particularly in food and fashion photography. https://nikonschool.co.uk/

Customized Couple Shirt Design

My daughter’s simple shirt design that I requested her to create for our 25th wedding anniversary. She exactly knows what I want, something simple but soothing to the eyes. I also love the pastel colors. I’ve given her a hand to choose the design and color. I’m glad she picked the right one. She made another design that I intend to put on a canvas bag. 

I requested this design for her Dad, who loves plants so much. Thanks, N, for the gift. I appreciate it a lot. Love you!

School Update

It’s been a while since I posted about my younger kid here. No longer a young kid though, he’s actually in college now. By next year, we hope he will earn his college diploma.

K is currently enrolled at CIIT, taking up Bachelor of Multimedia Arts (BAMMA) through virtual classes.

By the way, the school sent this certificate to my son last month. I’m just happy and appreciate this young man for all his efforts despite the difficulties of online classes.

Also, it is my boy’s birthday today. I love you, son. I pray to God to continue to bless you with good health and a sound mind. May God grant your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans.
