PURPOSE
I have created this website as a platform to share and document the significant and unforgettable events in my life, along with my various interests. Among my many hobbies, one that holds a special place is taking pictures and creative writing. However, I am not particularly fond of taking selfies or capturing images of myself. Instead, I find immense joy in photographing the captivating elements of the world around me, particularly insects and animals. Here are a few snapshots showcasing some of these captivating moments that I captured through my camera.

Presenting a delightful capture of two mischievous Pekin ducks engaging in playful puddle shenanigans. In a twist of fate, my lens inadvertently highlighted one duck's posterior instead. Nonetheless, this charming moment serves as a gentle reminder to prioritize relaxation and not let stress waddle over us.

A triumphant reunion with a damselfly, long lost to the annals of time. While I yearned for a fiery red companion, fate dealt me a charming green sprite instead. Fear not, for these dainty creatures never fail to evoke our affection. Who can resist their undeniable cuteness and petite beauty after all? It's a whimsical world of damselflies, my friends.

Look who's hanging out together - a tiny jumping spider and a house fly. It's like the ultimate odd couple. And what's up with that fly? Is it high on something? How can it just chillax while a spider is looming over it like that? Well, maybe the fly is too zen to care or it just accepted its fate as the spider's meal.

Another arachnid snap. While goofing around, I casually disturbed the grass in our backyard, only to be greeted by an eight-legged, emo wolf spider. Talk about an unexpected encounter. Now, I must confess, I'm not exactly a spider enthusiast—I have a soft spot for grasshoppers and mantises. But hey, when it comes to capturing bugs on camera, I'm an equal opportunity type of person. Gotta take a pic, even if I'm not their biggest fan.

Check out this bug with its eye-catching hue. I mean, it's rocking my favorite colors, "orange" and "black" or so I thought. Turns out it's a sneaky little PEST known as the "Red" Cotton Bug. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Who knew bugs had identity crises? This Cotton Bug swears it's orange, but the world calls it red.
A CLOSE UP ENCOUNTER ALONG WITH MY OLD POTATO PHONE: PIXELATED FIREFLY FIASCO

Catching fireflies flickering in the night was one of my biggest dreams. When one landed on my finger, fulfilling that childhood fantasy, I got an adrenaline rush and grinned like a buffoon. I quickly took a video with my lame camera before releasing my new luminescent friend. No bugs were harmed in the making of this home movie, just my dignity from looking so silly over achieving such a small dream. But some wishes, no matter how tiny, just make you happy. REALLY happy. Sometimes, it's the little things in life that bring us the most joy - and that little bugger certainly did :)

Does this portrait of the dashing gentleman make you swoon? Does this handsome feline now have a place in your thoughts? In short, does this likeness cause any agreeable impression upon you, madam/siré? Just kidding ;). This is my most beloved creature of all - the feline funny-bone tickler itself, the cat. Allow me to introduce my dear furry companion, a tabby named "Mack" (after his mackerel-striped coat). I simply adore snapping photos of him when he's snoozing, as that's when he strikes the goofiest poses and puckers the funniest faces in his precious slumber.
