Christmas BBQ

Happy New Year! It’s already the 3rd day of January and I’m not feeling much different than when it was December and 2013, except that I miss the feeling of holidays and festivities and knowing that I have many plans lined up. The start of a new year is supposed to be like the turn of a new leaf or something. I’m supposed to be super efficient and organized from this year onwards, but the pile of paperwork on my right is getting higher instead of diminishing. Some things don’t change I suppose. Also, I’m so terribly backlogged on photos to edit and sift through that my head hurts just thinking about it. Doesn’t help that more than half the photos were taken in horrendous conditions, either yellow or mixed light, and in dark conditions.
Oh well, challenge accepted!

For Christmas, the boo hosted a BBQ party at his place, with our favourite marinated ribs and chicken wings taking center stage. A small group of close friends turned up and helped out with the grilling (my contribution was Joy the Baker’s Dark Chocolate Brownies which I accidentally under baked but everyone still loved) and we had a great time sharing delicious food and good conversation. I (as usual) had a ball of a time taking candids of everybody.

New Year’s Eve for me this year was very special, because the boo and I had the opportunity to witness and photograph his close friend’s proposal to his long-time girlfriend. I’m halfway through editing the photos and I’m having a lot of feels. Working very hard on those photos right now because I want to give them the best photos possible for them to remember this once-in-a-lifetime moment by. There’s just something so fulfilling in recording such an important moment in someone’s life, and I was walking on clouds for the rest of the day. :)
