LP 174: Sementeryo (cemetery)
Nov 2nd
Join us at Litratong Pinoy .Com
Ang Sementeryo ay lugar kung saan ang mga walang buhay na katawan, maging abo, ay inililibing o ibinabaon. Huling himlayan ng mga yumao.
Subalit hindi lamang natin matatagpuan ang mga labi ng mga namayapa sa mga ‘normal’ na sementeryong marami sa atin ay dinadalaw lalo na tuwing sasapit ang araw ng mga patay. Sa ating mga simbahang katoliko ay matatagpuan ang ibang bahagi na kung saan ay matataguriang sementeryo rin sapagkat doon ay nakahimlay ang mga namayapang tauhan ng simbahan. Hindi lamang silang tauhan ng simbahan ang may karapatang ilibing dito, marami sa mga simbahan din sa Europa ang naglalaman ng mga buto ng mga ordinaryong mamamayan, lalo na kung sila ay mayaman at kinikilala sa kanilang lugar, daan-daang taon na ang nakalilipas.
Masdan ang mga larawang aking nakunan sa St. Peter’s Basilica sa Vatican, Italia.
1st photo. Matatagpuan ang sarchopagus na ito sa underground ng St. Peter’s Basilica. (note: pasensya na po at hindi ko alam kung sino ang nakalibing dito)
2nd photo: kaliwa’t-kanan ay makakakita ka ng sarchopagus dito, subalit hindi pinapayagang makapagkuha ng larawan sa lahat ng bahagi ng lugar na ito…
3rd photo. Taong 2009 ng magkaroon ako ng pagkakataong madalaw ang St. Peter’s Basilica. Nung taon na iyo ay naroroon pa ang labi ni Pope John Paul II , muli, bawal itong kunan ng larawan….nasa bandang kanan lamang ay kanyang labi..
[narito naman ang link ng live webcam na nakatutok sa kanyang labi kung saan ay inilipat ito]
4th photo. Matatagpuan ito sa mismong simbahan naman sa unang palapag ng St. Peter’s Basilica.
Pasensha na po at hindi ko matandaan kung sino ito, kung totoong mummified ba ang katawan o hindi.
Ah, St. Peter’s Basilica….himlayan ng mga santo at nagsilbi sa mundo ng Katoliko.
Magandang araw ng Litratong Pinoy sa inyong lahat!

“dew drops keep falling on my head”
Don’t flowers, leaves, trees (people too, especially if they use soap 
) look beautifully refreshed when bathed early in the morning?
I care.

Man and animal. The able showing care.
Moment such as this is worth capturing.
Autumn colors.
Oct 30th
I wanted to get some fresh air the other day so when I saw my husband placing the dog’s leash, I immediately jump on the chance and ask if I can come with them. Like I needed to ask him
Anyway, we went to the nearby park which is the favorite park of our little puggy. He’d actually tell us humans where he’d like to go. He’d lead the way. Yes, he’s actually walking us.
Just like our pug, I also like walking around ‘his’ park. Especially during this Autumn, it’s filled with wonderful colors. So it isn’t hard to find trees, animals or spots to photograph.
I actually do not like how I took this photo. No composition. No focus. I just clicked the shutter. But hey, who says only the nicest photos deserve to be published?
I love the colors!
NY trip, when’s it gonna be?
Oct 30th
I have two aunts living in the United States for many years. As well as college friends and people I met online, who eventually became good friends too. One of my aunts has been urging me to come and visit her, this has been going on for a few years now. My friends too! “When are you coming over, Thess?” , is the usual line I get on my message boxes and chat boxes.
I sure would want to visit everybody, my feet are actually itching to travel. Who wouldn;t want to see your family? Who wouldn’t want to meet old college friends after 2 decades of not seeing each other? Who wouldn’t want to see faces of people you normally would only speak to online?
I would also love to see the whole of New York, one dream was to see the twin towers which we all know, remains just a dream, definitely. But there are so many places to visit in New York. Musical shows to see. Shopping to do. And I’ve been promised to be taken to a few Filipino and other Asian restaurants in the city. So yeah, the foodie in me can’t wait to go to the city that never sleeps. The question is, when is the right time to go?
Yesterday, if only possible. I would have booked me my plane ticket, hotel and even car service NYC! But unfortunately, packing my bags and go on a trip isn’t that easy. Financial wise. I am responsible not only for myself but for others too. Besides due to unfortunate circumstance, I had to make two trips back to Asia. Thus my plan to go to the United States was pushed back.
Anyway, I know someday I’ll be singing Liza Minelli’s ‘New York, New York’ the minute I land in NY!

This little girl has captured my attention while I was relaxing by the pool. That was during my recent vacation in Thailand.
I was there, lazily iPading when suddenly I hear her mother’s voice, counting. So I begin to talk to mom. She says they agreed she’ll come out the pool when she reaches their agreed number. But the little cute girl is really enjoying the water so I said to mom : ‘I’ll talk to you so you’ll forget to count’ LoL!
I asked mom if it’s all right to take photos of her little girl, she says go right ahead. I also promised mom I’ll be emailing her copies.
Khun Sasiwadee Nacaskul, my apology for my late email, I hope you and your family enjoy the photos. You forgot to write down your baby’s name for me though. Sending you regards from Holland. Kisses for the cute girl! – Thess
LP 173: Matamis or sweet
Oct 27th
I know, I know. I’ve been away for far too long from L.P. but I’ve my reasons. I needed to gather myself together from all that’s happened to me and my family. 3 deaths in as span of 11 months. But after the rains comes a rainbow right? And it’s a marvelous sight when it does appear.
I missed L.P.! Sorry for my absence, if only I had a choice.
Matamis (sweet). I chose this rambutan photo over a candy photo I had in my stock files.
Hindi ako naglalagay ng asukal sa kape ko. Weird ang lasa nito para sa akin. Hindi ako naglalagay ng asukal sa tsa-a (tea) ko dahil weird din ang lasa nito para sa akin. Sa tsokolate naman ay ayaw ko ng masyadong matamis, mas gusto ko yung bitter or dark chocolates.
Sa prutas? hindi ako mahilig sa maasim o mapakla. Kapag bumibili ako ng prutas na hindi pa hinog ay hinihintay ko talaga sila mahinog bago ko ma-enjoy. Rambutan ay isa sa paborito kong prutas! Masarap na, enjoy pa kainin 
Seek the one that fits you. Webhosting that is.

I would just like to make a follow up on my previous post (yesterday. 27-10-2011) about website hosting as I intend to give my friend another info (link) about his seeking of the best webhost there is offered on the internet. I did some browsing this morning and found this website.
Figuring out which web host is selling the truth, these days hosting reviews written by clients themselves help a lot those intending to buy domains. This I forgot to mention to my friend so since I know he’s reading my post, do not forget to check out this new links that I’m sharing with you. Also goes out for you folks who are planning on getting your own domain. Sure it’s easy buying but ask yourself if you’re ready to be confronted with problems e.g. downtime, upgrades etc on your own or with your webhost?
I said it before and please allow me to say it again, many webhosts would sell you all beautiful promises but when the time comes you need them, they’re nowhere to be found to help you out. Thus reading reviews about webhosts is a great help. Clients share their experiences , no-holds-barred review. So what better way to know the truth about webhosts than reading it from their own clients, right?
My advice is try to take time to read reviews, then decide. Rather than buying without knowing the host’s background. This is to avoid any future problems regarding your website, which always occur. Make sure your chosen webhost will be there for you.
