LP: Favorite Photo

When I fisrt learend that this week’s theme for LP is favortie photo, I was worried. My favortie subject for photography is of course my kids, but having three and capturing them all together is really hard. From our latest photo ops, this, I can say is my favorite. Their playfullness was captured in this photo.

Noong nalaman ko na ang tema sa linggong ito para sa Litratong Pinoy ay paboritong litrato, nangamba ako. Ang paborito kong kuhanan ng litrato ay ang aking tatlong makukulit at kyut na kyut (hehe) na anak. Sa totoo lang napakahirap kuhanan ng tatlong ito na magkakasama sila. Mahirap ang timing, minsan may ngingiti, minsan ang isa biglang tutuwad. Paminsan naman lahat na sila nakangiti, ang camera ko naman ang hindi handa. Ss ngayon, ang litrato sa taas, ang masasabi kong paborito ko. Mayroon kase silang limang pantulog na terno terno at tuwing suot nila ito, nakakatuwaan kong kuhanan sila ng litrato. Natutuwa ako sa litrato nilang ito sapagka’t kitang kita ang mga kalokohn nila sa kanilang mga ngiti.

Rules Copy the quotes above from start copy to end Copy. Replace the Photograph with your own or your loves ones’ Black and White captured moments that you want to cherish for the rest of your life.

I really don’t have a lot of photos in black in white, I like sepia mode better. The one above comes from my multiply account. One boring afternoon, me and the kids decided to have a photo ops. I like this one the most, er, this is the best on my multiply. Although Chico is not smiling in the pic, the love of his older brothers to him are very evident. This is one of their sweetest pic.

I am passing this tag to all the guys who loves taking a pic (aka worships their love ones). Grab it guys, you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Meaning of My Kid’s Name

I know after my name post, you will be asking what I named my kids?

When we first learned that we will be having a baby boy, we decided to name him Mikhail.. ask hubby why but is a very personal choice for him. For his second name I thought that Indian names is so cool and named him Mahat. Mikhail if you are not familiar is a Russian name which means God liked.. not like God but like by God.. Mahat on the other hand is a complicated Indian name. Some of research points me to this name being of a God or some a stage to obtain Nirvana. What ever it is, we just like the sound of the two.. Mikhail Mahat

We did not expect Mico, and so looking for a perfect name for him was hard. We decided to name him just like his older brother, name that starts with MM and Russian name for the first name and Indian name for the second. It was really hard looking for another name, but in the end was lucky to find a name that would sound really good. We named him Marco for his first name, a Russian variation of Mark. For his second name, we named him Mahadev, an Indian name which means god of all gods..

Sofia Ananta, that could have been Mico’s name if he has been a girl. Yes, we already have a baby girl’s name. Sofia, a Russian name which means wise and Ananta, an Indian name, which sounds so good and its meaning I can’t remember.

Now, when we learned my third pregnancy, we hoped so hard that it would be Sofia. Boy! it was a boy again. I remembered when we learned i was a baby boy, Kayil was screaming and was really mad, because he wants a baby girl. Now, he told me, he does not want another baby, he was afraid that if we have another one, it won’t be as cute and as adorable as Chico.

Chico is not his real name. His name is Melor Moulik. If finding a name for our second was hard, this was hardest.. well of course it is obvious that we run out of good names LOL.. I can just imagine how hard it must have been to my grandmom who has 14 kids.. (and how about Nadya?) Melor is a modern Russian name. its meaning, that is your assignment for the day.. find out what is the meaning of Melor and report back.LOL Moulik is an Indian name, a variance of Malik I guess.. It is pronounced as Malik, but the way it was spelled was really cool. I can just imagine years from now, Chico’s teachers will have a hard time pronouncing his name… LOL

Their nick names is quite different form their real name. I had it form my mother, my name is Pilipinas or Filipinas but my nickname is Peh. My kids nicks, you already knew by now is Kayil, Mico and Chico..

Now tell me, what is your kid’s name?
