My NEW BLOGSITE!

Hello LADS,

I'm so excited to announce my moved to a differrent BLOGSITE with my OWN DOMAIN NAME and of course HOSTING as well. I know that there are some of you who are my regular followers. I'm referring not only to those who actually wrote and signed up as my followers :) From the bottom of my heart, I'd like to thank you very much! So, inorder for me to entertain you more, I have decided to have a more appealing blogsite where you can leave your comments in each post, that anyone can easily access what you just commented :) Aside from that, you will be able to VIEW my photos in a much more colorful and bigger size which I'm excited on about! ;)

You can still access the posts I've had here at bloggers from my new blogsite coz I have transferred them actually.

Anyhow, it's been a great pleasure using BLOGSPOT! It has put my RANKING on top of any name under DON-K.. :)

But as they say, CHANGES are the only constant in this world and I'm adapting that just like anyone else ;)

From NOW on I will be posting MY BLOG at http://www.don-k-blogsite.com/and you can access it by clicking the mentioned domain name or the icon above! See you lads! ;)

The BiZ!

Here's some notes or maybe an experience so to speak that I would like to share.. Getting into photography business isn't too easy because it's not just about taking photos that you have to deal with. You also have to consider other aspects (more actually), not only on the business side of it but more importantly your partner, your wife, your family.. It is true that there will be times that you'll give up some personal things or time because you have an engagement on a certain time that coincides with your personal life.. but that's the nature of being a photographer I guess? :)

Having said all of these, I'm so grateful that my wife is always there for me.. I heartfully thank her for the kind and so much understanding and the love of course!





Perhaps it's TRUE that behind the success of a man is a woman.. ;)




..and so what's not to love her anyhow? "wink"



Love you sweetie,mwah!

Runners!

Before we went up North, WE planned to really get some runners (shoes) and that we'll go running when we come back! Ah genie, until now we haven't run yet together! I know it has to be part of our lifestyle to be healthy but I've no time since yet (an excuse for being lazy,lol) :) and I know when you start running, it's addictive. Ah, sure WE will.. soon?!?


Here's our running shoes..

Coffee..

Aah.. it's been a while since I had this ah well coffee in general :) I'm off the caffeine now coz I'm like HULK, my heart beats like a drum when it's in my system,LOL! :)

I just miss the taste..





This was in BELFAST, Northern Ireland.. about last month?



with the wife.. refreshing!

Here comes the SUN!

We are definitely having a blast these days with the sunshine in Ireland! The word SUNSHiNE is like RAiN when you are in Saudi or middle east.. We went out and played with the camera, explored some sites too!


Have a look...





Just walking.. pretending like BONO!

BBQ @ Lisa's

Last THURSDAY, 28th of June 2009 was forecasted to be the start of a good weather here in Ireland until at least TUE.. So, what did we do?!? Instead of goin out running or walking, we went to Lisa's house and had some BBQ.. gaining rather than losing,LOL!

The Northern Ireland

The most awaited driving experience to date were through just this week. We drove to the North to look around and stayed in BELFAST CiTY. It was indeed a great experience again.. I have been up north once before but never got the chance to roam around the outside counties but only this time, more time than before.. So here's some few photos to share :)




The GiANT CAUSEWAY...

Shredding MYSELF!

Hello FOLKS! hmn.. I've been thinking a lot lately whether I'll show myself as who am I really?! Well, on this post.. I did! LOL!

Here's myself.. SUPER DON-K

New Ross F-show for charity!

Heya lads!

I just happenned to scan my old video files and hmnn.. I found this one and thought why not put it on YOU TUBE and have a laugh!?! It's a fun fashion show for charity done in 2005 if I'm NOT mistaken?! Or maybe even 2006? Gosh, I'm not getting any younger..can't even remember! haha!

Anyhow, enjoy this one seriously ok?? :D

The JAPS food

It's been since last weekend after WE had a walk when our friend LISA mentioned on the Japanese food particularly SUSHI. So, yesterday it happened! They came over to our place and the women prepared some sushi. It's a combination of RiCE, smoked salmon, mango, and cucumber rolled and wrapped with some dried seaweeds (locally found in Tesco?). Anyhow, they're lovely! Yummy! I know, here in Ireland Japs food is not popular but it is back home (Philippines)..Together with the sushi, they also decided to add SHRiMP TEMPURA and we dip them into a kikoman soy sauce and the infamous WASABI (green hot stuff that would sting your tongue!).

Here's some shots...


















Beautiful...



Soy sauce and wasabi...



here's the green wasabi.. HOT!



Gorgeous...



Yummy!



Ready to eat...



Crunchy!



YOU must be STARVING by now,huh?! LOL! :)

Walking

Walking, Striding, and especially the RUNNiNG are such popular here in WATERFORD City. Well, Ireland in general but as what I heard, DEISE' people are more into it and doing really good from across the board! :)

So, myself, my wife (of course) with another friends (couple) went on WALKiNG at the ring roads.. It was gasping somehow but we managed to go home safe and sound,lol!

Of course, since we just walked, I brought my sony camera and took some shots on a lovely sunny day! Here's some...

Valentine's Day 14th FEB '09

Every year comes a valentine's day.. Restaurants are fully booked at this time and day of the year.. It is the so called lovers' day! Every couple has their own ways of celebrating the romance they have.. It may be simple or extravagant.. But the most important is, the way HOW you celebrate the occassion..


For us, it was simple :)

When SHE woke up today.. Here's what she saw..




As she woke up.. Here's what she replied back on me..

The Pattern

We went to a PARTY a couple of nights ago.. Something caught my attention.. The wall paper.. Asked my wife to stand there then did the light control in photoshop, what else?

Location: FAiTHLEGG HOUSE and HOTEL, Golf Club, Co. Waterford, Republic of Ireland

Wonder Where?

Well lads, you might wonder where am I on the last few weeks? Ah,I was stretching my arms,back,legs in the sunny California! In a needless to say LA LA Land as in Los Angeles the "city of angels"..

It wasn't my first time to be there coz my family is actually living there but it feels my first everytime I go there since I don't live there (does it make sense?hehe).

We also went to the "Sin City" LAS VEGAS,NEVADA... it's always awesome to be there! Like people don't care what you do(maybe as long as in a good way) hehe..

My holiday was tiring but it was a good tire as they say,hehe!

Anyways'here are some photos I've taken...





Lights.. Camera.. Action!










































































































What happens in VEGAS stays in VEGAS...
