I collect pencils and pens. Each time I find lovely looking and cute pens/pencils, I buy them. And these (Disney) fairies are part of my collection. I never knew that I’d one day use them for a purpose other than writing. I thought of photographing plants for this week’s Litratong Pinoy theme but at the last moment I changed my mind and instead took my fairies to the backyard. ‘Found a good spot to make them ’stand’…and well the rest is history. Great job, girls!
[Kolektor ako ng lapis at boypren.. este bolpen pala! Kapag nakakita ako ng magaganda at kyut ay binibili ko ang mga ito. Ang 2 engkantada (tama po ba, engkantada nga ba sa inglis?) na ito ay parte ng koleksyon ko. Hindi ko akalain na bukod sa pangsulat ay magagamit ko sila sa ibang paraan, tulad ng pagkakataong ito na imbes na mga halaman ay napagpasyahan ko silang gamitin para sa tema ng Litratong Pinoy ngayon Huwebes. Sa likod bahay, nakatagpo ako ng lugar kung saan ay itinayo ko sila..at ayun, walang kiyeme na nag-’modelo’ para sa L.P. ]

Dear bloggers who love photography, come have fun with us HERE!
Ah, summer! the most wonderful time of the year. Well, at least for an Asian like me living in this part of the world where the sun shines too less, Summertime is what I always wait for. It’s the season when flowers bloom, when trees are again green, when birds chirp the loudest, baby ducks can be seen swimming after their mama ducks. Plain beautiful sceneries during this time. And not to forget of course, the yummy feel of the sun’s warmth in the body. Glorious!
And it’s also the time when I see unfamiliar bugs and insects such as this on the flower. I just couldn’t make out if it’s a bee or fly.
Do you know?
Don’t you sometimes find how amazing our world is? What wonderful things God has created just for us to enjoy! If I think of the still unexplored areas of lands and water that man hasn’t touched yet, it gets me pretty excited thinking of the secrets they keep, when will they be shared with me, with us?
Anyway, this leaf was a sample of my ‘little’ excitement. Seeing it up close and more clearer after post processing this image. I had to smile when I saw those fine hair on the leaf surface. We were cleaning out weeds that morning but before cutting them, I decided to take out my camera when I saw water droplets all over the greens. And the outcome did not disappoint me. Amazing how the fiber-like-hairs control the tiniest droplets of water.
Before I end this, I wish to apologize to you folks who are regular droppers on my (ex) entrecard and spot buyers. Unfortunately I received an email from them telling me that they deleted it. No warning whatsoever, which is fine by me since they own it. Along with my account they also deleted 1,400+ worth of credits. Only I wish they will change such act and rather send warning first or however you call it, so that users can at least warn those who order spots from them. A sign of respect. The reason they gave me is because ‘they do not support other languages but english’.
Sad that they have such policy. Sad that they only zoomed in on my previous entry where I had to use my beloved language. Sad that they based their decision only on my previous entry. Sad that they did not bother to check that + 90% of my entry is in English language.
Between entrecard and using my own language, there’s no competition. I will always choose my language. But will I ever use entrecard again? Why not? I think it’s one cool way to let other people advertise for free on my blog eventhough I seldom buy spots from other bloggers. But probably, I will re-apply before the years ends. Or probably not. C’est la vie!
Have a great weekend, yah all!
Remember Alf? That talkative, obnoxious (at times), funny, lovable alien who was adopted by a loving family, accepted him as one of them?
I remember back in the 80’s, my siblings and I were allowed in the evening to watch him before we call it a night. As kids, we’d usually fight for the remote control for tv programs but when it comes to Alf, we were in harmony. Ah those were the days! ‘Wish I was a child again whose only concern is when to eat, play, watch tv and sleep!
My husband’s got this tiny Alf toy which he forgot about and I found it clipped on the curtain in his office. I just thought I’d play with it using my lens baby and +4 macro lens…it was fun looking at Alf via the viewfinder. Made me smile and recall those crazy tv program days we enjoyed!
