I took several photos of helicopters and airplanes flying high above the sky last Saturday morning during a break from work
I then decided to take several photos of these “capiz” lamp shells hanging on the trellis of my MIL’s second floor garden while waiting for my family to come and pick me up
These look cool when lighted at night
When my hubby and kids arrived, we all went to attend the Filipino Mom Blog Christmas party with the kids in tow which can be read about here

One of the most important things we mothers want to achieve is to keep the home clean and worry-free.
Why so? Because germs have no “right” to be in places where they can cause harm to people, especially children.
Here are some basic materials and steps that homemakers need to keep the sanctuary called “home” clean and safe:
One does not need to do a thorough cleaning up everyday, a few minutes spent on cleaning will come a long way.

Walking in the woods does a lot of wonderful things to the body and mind, and spirit.
One feels one with nature as listening to the chirping birds, smelling the smell of leaves, seeing colorful flowers, feeling the drizzling rain falling softly on one’s face, and inhaling fresh cool air are all incomparable experiences on a lazy Sunday weekend. For us, at least.
Such was what we did yesterday (Sunday) morning. We were not able to have a picnic on our picnic mat as we planned to because of the drizzles but we had fun nonetheless.
Have you tried this experience or are you one of those who feel more at ease in an air conditioned place where sights and sounds intertwine endlessly during Sundays?

Thinking of a photo that will go with this week’s theme was very difficult for me.
Ang pag-isip kung anong larawan ang ilalagay sa temang ito ay sadyang napakahirap sa akin.
First because there was no photo in our archives depicting something that has been won, or anyone in the family winning anything.
Una dahil sa tila ba walang larawan sa aming mga naipong pondong larawan ng may nanalo o may nanalong kapamilya ko sa kung ano pa man.
The truth is, I have already made entries in advanced, till December 4, EXCEPT this theme.
Sa totoo lang, nakagawa na ako ng entry hanggang December 4, pwera ito.
So I thought long and hard and waded through photos dating back from April 2008 till I reached August when we had a family field trip to Luneta and Fort Santiago as part of my twoyounger children’s homeschool lessons in history.
Ako ay napa-isip nang matagal at naghanap ng larawan mula April 2008 hanggang dumating ako sa Agosto 2008 nung ang aking pamilya ay pumunta sa Luneta at Fort Santiago bilang parte ng lesson sa Kasaysayan ng mga anak kong nagho-homechool.
Was freedom won?
Nagwagi nga ba tayo talaga at nakuha ang kalayaan? Tunay ba tayong nakaalis na sa mga nagbabanta ng ating kalayann sa panahong ito?
Ang kalayaan ba ay tunay ngang nasa isip na lamang, isang mindframe na siyang humuhubog sa ating pamumuhay?
Marami pang lakbay ang ating gagawin upang masabing tayo nga ay nagwagi laban sa mga sumusupil ng kalayaang ito. Ipagpatuloy lang natin ang ating pakikibaka.

We love in live in places where cleanliness is observed and reinforced. Who wouldn’t want that?
Gusto natin tumira sa mga lugar na ang kalinisan ay nakikita at ginagawa. Sino ba ang may ayaw nito?
But sadly, many Filipinos are not particularly bent on keping their surroundings clean. Not only should cleanliness be practiced with our bodies and inside our homes, it should also be practiced outside of it.
Subalit sa kabila nitong kagustuhan na ito, maraming mga Pilipino ang hindi ginagawang malinis ang kanilang paligid. Hindi lang dapat na ang kalinisan ay naipapakita sa ating katawan at sa loob ng bahay, dapat pati sa labas ay malinis din.
Look closely at the photo and see how blurred the background is. The background is blurred not because there is something wrong with the camera. The background is blurred because of SMOG or air pollution.
Pakitingnan mabuti ang larawan at makikita namalabo sa bandang malayo. Hindi malabo dahil me problema sa pagkuha. Malabo ang background kasi dahil sa smog o maruming hangin.
Ok then, here is another photo:
