Sa kabila ng pagsasabing “It’s more fun in the Philippines” dapat din bigyan ng pansin ang nakalulungkot na kalagayan ng ating kapiligiran bunga ng pagmimina.
Narito ang ilang mga larawang nagpapakita ng ilan lang mga lugar na mayroong pagmimina sa Pilipinas:
Surigao del Sur
Rapu-rapu
Benguet
Walang watermark kasi ang mga ito ay larawan ng mga larawang kinunan ko mula sa isang diskusyon tungkol sa pagmimina sa Pilipinas, partikular sa Palawan.
Last weekend, we went to a 65th birthday celebration of a family friend. She and her husband are one of our few pairs of husbands and wives pairs for our wedding’s principal sponsors.
The children were at the party though it was strictly an adult party. The celebrant told my MIL, that they have to be there because she and the MIL have been good friends for a long time already and the grandchildren are also dear to her.
I love dress up parties even if it means I’ll probably have a hard time looking for the proper clothes for me. These words demotivate me at times: plus size dresses cheap. Not! these are mostly not that inexpensive. I’d probably put up with a little expense if only these don’t come in plus size. I know, I’m in denial.
I got a new realization during this particular celebration: that the golden girls can dance the night away, in dancing dresses and heels! Woot, woot!!!

Once upon a time, we were so loving jelly marbles that we had them grow in a bottle. The children excitedly took note of how these grew day in and day out. We had to throw these away after a few days due to a reason or two for which I can’t actually remember. Ahem. I think it had something to do with toxicity because these are not the one from Science experiments but bought from the tiangge.
Anyway, I got surprised when I saw an Orbeez Magic Maker while surfing the web. I want one for my kids!!! 😀
I’m sure lots of children are going to love these.
Now, I wonder where we can buy in the Philippines.Â
Now I know, I saw these at Toys ‘R Us yesterday when we had lunch at TriNoma before the son’s medical check-up.
