Give me my ball!! (068)
Mar 10th
**how come Sjimmie is standing straight but the water seems like tilting to the left…. because the world is round?** 
This is Sjimmie. The relentless bouvier of our friends Joke and George.
Sjimmie wont stop barking when he’s on the beach. He would bark, bark, bark, and bark more..pleading to give him his ball. But he can bark until he drops..he can’t have his ball.
Bad hips. That’s what he’s got. So no running is advisable for him. Have had hips operation already, if he hurts himself again, operation might not be an option anymore.
Sorry Sjimmie. That’s said with L O V E.
beach find (067)
Mar 9th
I saw these poles from a distance while walking on this deserted beach last weekend. I knew that I just have to photograph them, so I suggested to my husband for us to walk towards them.
The poles were not as tall as I hoped for nor many in number either. Also two were buried too high in the sand that the picture I had in mind didn’t came out the way I was hoping for.
I like the color contrast though.
Charlie was on a short vacation (064-066)
Mar 8th
We were back from our weekend getaway..or I should say, Charlie’s vacation because we chose this hotel where dogs are allowed as guests. It was in the Southern part of Holland and walking distance from the sea (Northsea.) Before heading back home (and after a heavy breakfast) we decided to walk a few kilometres..eventhough the cold wind was unforgiving..brrrr
I asked my husband (who doesn’t like holding a camera..my exact opposite, bleh! ) to please take some photos of me with Charlie..
64/365: ‘No baby don’t look at me, look at the camera’
65/365: ‘good now you’re looking..hey wait! dad’s shadow is showing..keep looking’
66/365: ‘oh great, now you’re no longer looking…oh well…let’s go home’
my housemates (062 & 063)
Mar 5th
I was not able to upload my photo-of- the- day yesterday (project 365) thus I uploaded 2 today. Featuring my housemates.
Gray-bearded-almost-6-years-old Charlie. The family Prince. And I mean that. What he wants, he gets! Well, from my husband who really reeeeeeeaaallly spoils Charlie. Did you know at night I am not allowed to sit on the couch beside my husband? because that’s Charlie’s spot. For the past almost 6 years!
And no, I ‘m not complaining….that much. Lol!
PUNO (LP 95: Kalikasan)
Mar 3rd
Weird ba ako? Kasi naging tree hugger ako lalo na kapag nakakakita ako ng magagandang puno! Na-appreciate ko hindi lang ang ganda nila kundi pati na rin ang kahalagahan nila sa planetang ito. Minsan nga mas masarap pa kausap ang puno keysa ibang tao na mahirap umunawa. Alam nyo bang ang pinakamatandang puno ay nadiskubre sa Sweden? Sinasabing ang kanyang trunk ay mahigit-kumulang na 600 years old pero ang ugat nito ay 9,500 years old, ganuon katanda!
Pero itong puno ko, hindi ako alam kung gaano katanda. Pero ang alam ko ay isa syang magandang nilalang ng kalikasan. Napansin ko sya ng pasukin namin ang isang lugar sa Roma na puno ng ruins. Natatangi ang puno na ito na nakatayo sa parteng iyun (see 2nd photo)
Paano na kaya tayo kung walang puno sa ating paligid, ano?
Maligayang araw ng Litratong Pinoy sa inyong lahat!
Rome Colosseum (part 2)
Mar 2nd
*click to enlarge*
First photo was taken while I was seated just in front of the Colosseum. Coming straight from the aiport, we just dropped our luggages in the hotel and immediately walked here. I was so impressed I just wanted to sit there until it gets dark. Which we did due to my request to my husband that I also want to capture it in the evening. So while waiting…yes, I just sat there and look…and look….
*click to enlarge*
and sometimes would stand up, walk around and capture parts that I didn’t want to forget..such as this 2nd shot (faulty camera setting, argh!) anyhow, can you see how they constructed the arches? geniaal!
*click to enlarge*
This 3rd shot was taken while I was at the top of a double decker bus (on our second day on the way to the Vatican.) See the outer wall? Just a small piece of it was left. It’s a shame that a big part of it was broken down and that the said parts were stolen to build houses and buildings around Rome. It also seems riddled with holes, that’s because the lead metals which were connecting the arches (also supporting the building) were stolen..leaving ‘holey’ memories.
here’s a short video I made with my camera..
Magustuhan o Maibigan (LP 89)
Jan 20th
Noong nakaraang taon, buwan ng Disyembre ay napagpasyahan naming mag-asawa na sa Italia (Roma) iselebra ang aming ika-10 anibersaryo. Makulimlim ang Holland ng nilisan namin pero ganuon na lang ang tuwa namin ng dumating kami sa Italia na sikat na sikat ang araw! Noong nasa Rome Fiumicino Airport (Leonardo da Vinci) pa lang kami ay akala ko hindi ko magugustuhan ang aming pagbisita dahil sa mga arogante ang mga Italiano sa mga kiosks! Kakaiba talaga, na parang galit sila sa mga naglalakbay o turista. Pero syempre walang urungan at nanduon na kami, at isa pa, hindi ko hahayaang sirain ng kung sino lang ang aming anibersaryo, di ba?
Ang matutunghayan ninyo ay loob (ng itaas ) ng St. Peter’s Basilica na binisita namin sa pangalawang araw.
Ang disenyo ng ceramic tile mural na ito ay isa lamang sa makikita nyo kapag naakyat na dome nito. Makipot ito at halos kailangan mo tumabingi para bigyang daan ang mga taong gustong lumakad sa likod o harap mo. ( O siguro kasi mataba ako kaya kailangan ko tumabingi para makadaan sila he he)
*click for a larger image*
Nababakuran ito ng metal..siguro ay para na rin sa kapakanan ng mga dumadalaw o walang magtangkang magpatiwakal dito.
Ang parteng hindi ko nagustuhan ay ang 320 na bilang ng hagdan na kailangan mong tahakin upang maka-akyat dito! Habang himihingal ay sandali akong tumigil upang kunan ang makipot na hagdan…mabuti na lang at winter ng kami ay pumunta doon, naiimagine nyo ba kung gaano kainit dito kapag summer?!
hay naku, talagang hapong hapo ang kasiksikan ko kaya umupo muna ako sa isang tabi…sa labas lang ito ng souvenir store sa itaas ng church na kung saan ay nakilala ko ang isa sa mga madre na nagbabantay sa mga paninda..isa syang Filipina, si sister Fatima..sayang at hindi ako humiling na kunan sya ang larawan.. (yung ale sa larawan ay papasok sa souvenir store)
Ang mga naglalakihang rebulto ng mga santo sa itaas ng simbahan..may rehas kaya hindi sila malalapitan ng husto. Ipinasok ko na lang ng bahagya ang lens ng camera sa pagitan ng mga rehas para kumuha ng larawan..
Ang nagustuhan kong parte, at tiyak na magugustuhan nyo rin …na makita ang ciudad ng Vatican mula sa tuktok ng simbahan. Waging wagi kahit hiningal ang kasiksikan ko. 
PS. may isa pala akong hindi nagustuhan ng araw na iyun..nakaligtaan kong kunan ng larawan ang Pieta, ang likha ng mga kamay ni Michael Angelo! (*engot to self*)
enihawkalabaw, sana naman ay nagustuhan ninyo ang aking lahok sa Huwebes na ito…Happy LP sa inyong lahat!!
Strak blauw (019)
Jan 19th
This was the beautiful blue sky we witnessed last Sunday morning (Jan. 17) when we took our last walk on the beach in Zeeland before heading back home.
It was still very cold and wind blowing steadily but that never stop horse riders and dog owners to visit the beach. This is the North Sea, as we call it in Dutch.
