Today is 4th anniversary of my father’s passing. He died of cancer at age 43. Here’s a foto of him and me. Miss you Daddykins. Dad died on oct 22,2005, at 11pm:(

Here he is with my sister and me on a vacation to Mexico:)

Reminescing those nights with the whole family my sister (Adriana), me, my mom(Engracia) and my dad (David).

For the latest Harpers Bazaar issue, we flew to a private island in Vanuatu.

Here is me doing my best Vanuatuan postcard girl pose with another giant plant. I spent 4 days barefoot and happy.

This was my home for the week.. a 300 year old javanese hut that had been transported in pieces and rebuilt on site. It was made entirely of wood and the floors were worn soft from years of use. It was a very special experience to be in the historical home of many generations and occupants before me.

This mother duck and her teenage duckling would come visit at dawn every morning and as you can see, they weren’t shy. They just waddled right in the back door.

We went horseriding in the rain and wore helmuts to protect ourselves not just from falling off but from the palms which were heavily loaded with coconuts.

I was shooting at this wonderful home in Chicago. As soon as you enter you felt positive energy, The colors were calming, happy and relaxing. It was as if I walked into a oasis! All around were positive affirmations, I think it’s important to surround yourself with words that project good energy. Life is too short. Lets us enjoy every minute.

So my friend Mel and I are always caught on camera in our most craziest moments, We love food, music, fashion and laughing until our stomachs HURT..  We always look at the pictures and wonder What was that funny? I love these moments! If your feeling down today LAUGH, LAUGH , LAUGH !!
