I miss them so much, most specially the 5-month old Simon who would easily smile as I move my fingers close-open. It's nice to get to know new friends from other parts of the world. Now I have friends from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Even if I don't speak Spanish (no abla Español) as I never took the language course in college, we were able to get along very well, thanks to key Spanish words we commonly understand. Good thing many Spanish words are part of the dynamic Filipino language. Took these photos during the Bluehour - a regular event at the Lomostore in Ipanema where lomographers and lomo enthusiasts come to check the stuff in the store, interact with each other about analogue and anything under the sun, listen to analogue music, munch different kinds of nuts and drink free cold Brazilian beers. Life is cool in Rio and beers really ice-cold! Oh, let me clarify that the baby doesn't drink beer, ok.
