Kaibigan (LP 188: Halaga / worth)

Ang tunay na pagkakaibigan ay walang kinikilalang sagabal. Ano mang uri ka ng nilala kung ang puso mo ay makatuwiran, totoo, mapagmahal, mapag-alaga at makatotohanan, tiyak na labi mo ay palagiang may taglay na ngiti katulad ng kanya (kambing.)
Nakita ko sila noong nakaraang Sabado sa isang parke dito sa aming lugar. Nakapikit at antok na antok man ang kambing ay hindi siya humihiga at halos hindi gumagalaw dahil siguro ay ayaw nya mawala sa kanyang likod ang kaibigang manok!
Daig pa ako ng kambing na ito, sa totoo lang. Kung may ‘kaibigan’ na sumakay sa likod ko pero hindi naman siya totoo, ako na mismo maghuhulog sa kanya sa pagkakasakay sa likod ko!
Lensbaby on Charlie
Jan 31st
Oh yes baby! After almost 3 years (I think) of not using my Lensbaby, I finally actually used it today! But not my eyeglasses while using it and oh man, it really strained my eyes that I feel a bit crossed-eyed now (looks like it too) 
Charlie of course, is always my available model to use it on. Look at that face? Those eyes can actually stop ladies of all ages on their track just to pet him. Ask my husband, they walk together more often than usual, ha ha ha!
I care.

Man and animal. The able showing care.
Moment such as this is worth capturing.
Wild on Blue!

Last weekend, Saturday to be exact, while waiting for my husband who was inside the cigar store, I saw these swans nibbling particles in the water, taking in anything edible.
This is the beauty of having animals such as these being protected by law. People can enjoy them, watch them, without hurting them. Proving that humans and WILD animals can co-exist.

I found this photo from my 2008 files. This was shot at Bangkok’s Pratunam Market. I took this shot not because I thought the dog was cute but on the contrary, I was pissed off at its owner. Not only that the dog was dyed with colors but to add insult and DISCOMFORT to the poor thing, it had a shirt on. On a humid and high-temperature day! I don’t know if this was the dog owner’s way to attract people to buy from her or just plain naiveness.
I can understand people clothing their dogs during low temperature but in BKK where people would take their shirts off if they could, this was just wrong. I am no stranger in clothing dogs because my own pug has his jackets, which I seldom put on him and if ever I do, only for a few minutes of photo shooting, that’s it. But even when I do it only for few minutes, my husband would scold me bacause it’s not right to that to a dog, any dog. And he is absolutely right! Dog experts say that an exception is the chihuahua breed. I don’t know about that because I don’t have a chihuahua (yet.)
Anyway, imagine yourself covered with hair and living in a land where the average temperature is 29C? And with a shirt on?! Perhaps you’ll pant, hang your tongue out until it drops to the ground and BITE others around you because you’re irritated and feeling discomfort, wont you?
Let dogs , be dogs. Without shirts and not dyed, that’s the way they are created and should stay.
Note: background was changed into B&W and dog was selected to show only its colors.

Look at us all…outside and enjoying Springtime!
Man and his colorful feathered friends! This nice man said to me: “Ready your camera, they will kiss“ and they did!
One of the ´regulars´ in the hood….this ghost, I mean dog was probably so happy because it was dry outside…it was running like mad when I saw it! Cute fellah.
Got bread?
Dec 21st
Every winter I make sure that any stale bread we have in the house will not go to waste but be given to ducks, pigeons, and water-chicken. Food source is a scarcity for these poor birds during this season luckilyand , there are people who care enough to bring them bread- from those old ladies and men I learned to do this.
It’s actually fun feeding them. From a distance they can see you coming. Tentatively they will advance a bit towards where you’re standing… looking, feeling and waiting for the next thing that’s going to happen. If they see you take out a bag (no matter what’s in it) they will race like mad to get to you! Well, they couldn’t ‘race’ to me this morning because of the thick snow but nevertheless they got their pieces of bread from me. It was also a fantastic photo opportunity for me!
