I don't like to have my picture taken. That is why I became a photographer! But on a sunny day, when my mood tells me otherwise, I relent and this fierce persona gets out of me and decides she's the model of the day and begins to strike a pose! As I said, this happens rarely, okay?

So it's time for the annual Christmas Party once again. And Nayon Christmas Parties are like sleep overs for adult people. It seems that the Penthouse Suite of the Miramar Hotel is the favorite place to have the party and since it is a hotel room, we can stay overnight. And along side the party is the annual photo op. As a tradition, the club agrees on a particular theme during the party and everyone is required to dress according to the theme and have their pictures taken as a requirement to replace the banner photo on the Nayon website. Except for the 1950's scene which was done in Black and White and which was the follow up to the well known montage of 2003, I have not seen any photo at all that is worthy to replace the banner! We do have graphic artists in our midst, they are just so busy with their jobs right now. Until I get to see a decent group photo with me on it, I guess I just have to continue to dream on. Who knows, I might be in the mood and strut my stuff!

This year's theme is Chinese! C'mon people, do I look like one? If you think that's funny how about a pure bred insulares like Betty? Does she look like one? I'd rather eat Chinese Food than be one! A real Chinese bred in our group, Bless isn't around though as she has to be at her sister's wedding. And me be dressed in Cheongsam silk? I bet reed thin people like Kate Moss will look good in it not the curvaceous people like me! Oh well, I just have to suck it up and be a real trooper for this one.
