ย I took this simple shot during the novena since he loves attending mass and I was sitting down, playing with my settings before I was about to do some street photography. I never expected anything, in fact when I submitted this, it was simply because it meant a lot to me - how much he loves Sto Niรฑo, since he was born on His day - Friday. And now this happened. Thank you Seรฑor. And to my son- Top, thank you for coming into my life. ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ซ
St Jude, Padre Pio, mama Mary, Sta Rita, sto nino - thank you

A long time ago, there was a little girl who loved photography and technology. She joined Sinulog several times and failed just as many. There was even a year when bitterness took overโwhen her twin sister and brother-in-law won big in 2019, she was so upset that she went on a retreat. But after that retreat, and a visit to Apo Whang-Od, along with the guidance of her older brother and Ralph, she decided to try again. The following year, she finally gained recognition. After that, she stopped chasing validation.
2024 was tumultuous. At one point, I wondered if dragons hated snakes. I lost someone I thought mattered, but in return, God, St. Jude, Sta. Rita, Mama Mary, and Sto. Niรฑo gave me something elseโPhotographer of the Year in the countryโs top photography club Images Camera Club of Cebu. I had to let go of some things due to reasons too, was heartbroken and yet somehow, I still managed to place 6th in the nationals this year for Photoworldcup. And now, thisโsomething I never saw coming.
Thank you to my familyโespecially my twin sister, Jen, who has always been there, my husband, Rap, my brother-in-law, Kirby, who won 1st in the contingent, my parents, Papa and Mama, kuya Drew, Nans Terri, and most especially baby Top and Kayden, ate Kat, te Ton, Drews, te Carla. To my family, friends, and angelsโJess, Te Joan, Te Rose, Leni, nay Geralyn, JiAnn, Meyshang, Louie, te Ashley, those who were with me during the 9 day novena and everyone who walked this journey with me. To IMAGES Camera ClubโChi Jan, chi Joyce, Kuya Don, Ahia Erwin, Kuya Rolando, Ahia Kinwing, Ahia Ryan G and F8, Macyโs camera shop and my mentors, and to all my other friends, who won - congratulations. Iโm so glad I got to meet new friends and spending time with my old.
Iโm on cloud nine. I donโt even know what else to say. After all this time, I finally caught the butterfly that kept flying away.
VIVA PIT SEรOR!
