We’ve been living in Texas for almost three years now and I have to say, this winter seems to be the longest we’ve experienced.  We usually start experiencing spring weather as early as the days after the New Year.  Last weekend, however, we were blessed with beautiful sunshine, just warm enough to get our dusty tennis gear out of the closet.

My daughter was an eager participant, much to hubby’s and my delight.  She took tennis lessons last summer and she’s saying she wants to continue with it this summer.  Well, well, well.  We’re all for it.  We’re exposing our little girl to different sports, not so she could build muscle, but so that she can find out for herself which one she really likes.  We’re hoping she would be a lover of sports and an active lifestyle.  And it looks she’s turning into one.

On Superbowl Sunday, something excited me more than the game itself…I finally got a haircut!!

Oh joy!  It’s been more than a year since I went to the salon for a good trim.  I don’t know why I waited so long.  Funny what a haircut can do!  It felt like a load was taken off my shoulders.  Hee hee.  For a while, I forgot about my problems with adult acne.  I promised myself that I won’t wait as long anymore to get a trim.

Two weeks ago, the lens I ordered online arrived…

I love it!  Ever since I got a taste of using a prime lens and saw the gorgeous, crisp photos it was capable of producing, it was prime lens love for me.  You see, almost since day 1 of owning my dslr, a friend of mine graciously lent me his 50mm lens.  Alas, time came for me and the 50mm lens to part.  Huhu.

I rarely use my kit lens now.  Photos taken with a prime lens are much clearer, so clear in fact that one can’t really hide behind an anti wrinkle face cream.  Scary, huh? Hee hee.
