My weekend was uneventful since we (husband and I) were ‘stranded‘ inside our home because of the rain and to be honest, depressing weather outside. It’s supposed to be summer but we hardly see the sun. I can see that it’s not only affecting me but people around me as well. Especially my dad in law and I who are quite sensitive when it comes to the sudden change in temperature. One day it’s 25C the next day feels like autumn.
Since I missed joining in WS weeks back because of my hectic schedule, I made sure that I least I could join this week’s. Late, but better than never.
Here’s what I found inside our home to photograph. I purchased a fresh bouquet with this thorny balls in it.
I’m not sure if it’s leaf or flower. I should have asked the flower vendor when I bought it. Do you perhaps know what this is?
I also have another entry here, feel free to drop by…thank you!
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!
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!
Our weekend was busy. On Saturday, my husband and I went to the next city to shop for few personal needed items, did our weekly grocery but before that, we worked (office stuff) a bit in the morning too. Sunday, we had to tend our garden infested by snails and slugs. All plants that we both several weeks ago had died so we, rather my husband (who did most of the garden work) had to pull out all the roots, weeds and also chopped over-growing stalks. I did the wash, cleaned the house, cut my father-in-law’s hair and cook a simple meal for us.
Both my husband and dad-in-law love spicy food so I made a simple Thai combination of Pad Thai, chicken satay and made my own sauce. If you’ll be interested for the recipes, here they are: pad thai recipe, chicken satay recipe and peanut satay sauce recipe.
My Pad Thai yesterday was a quick fix, but if you’ll click the recipe link above you’ll find a better version.
I hope you like them too.
Have a great week ahead, dear WS’ers!
