Dito sa Pilipinas, mainam magpalipad ng saranggola kapag Pebrero.
Here in the Philippines, it is great to fly kites during February.
Dito sa taas na Shell Flower Terraces sa La Mesa Eco Park, napakalamig ng hangin.
Here on top of the Shell Flower Terraces at the Le Mesa Eco Park, the air is so cool. Read here about my picnic with other mommy bloggers.

Can earthquake be predicted? Earthquake prediction is a controversial issue. There are lots of issues to be considered about this topic and for some readings about this, you can click here and ponder upon the finer points of earthquake prediction while I write about why I want to write about the two topics in the title.
Coming home from work a little more than an hour ago, while I was preparing food for supper while hubby is taking care of the water supply aspect of this household, I can hear the neighbor’s frantic, hysterical cries or should we say, shouting matches with her children.
“I-ready nyo na ang mga kandila!” Gather the candles!
“Magdasal na kayo diyan!” Go pray!
“Hello __? (I didn’t catch the name) Nabalitaan niyo ba yung lindol daw? Lilindolin daw ang buong Pilipinas?” Hello (name here)? Did you hear about the earthquake? That the Philippines will be experiencing an earthquake?
Apparently, this neighbor of mine got that circulating malicious text message about an earthquake that would hit the country. I am not happy about these things causing people to panic. Not that I don’t fear earthquake, in fact I do, earthquakes are on top of my list of things to fear.
On the other hand, these malicious text messages are wrecking havoc to the otherwise unsuspecting people, making them do things out of panic, out of fear.
When will these kinds of pranks stop?
What good would these malicious text messages do to those who make them?

I didn’t know that it was “fiesta” where we live. Fiesta means when the Catholic faithful flock to the church to celebrate a saint’s special day. Then households prepare food for the visitors who will visit them.
It was a nice weather yesterday and I can hear shouts of laughter and cheers as children play games on the street somewhere in the vicinity where we live. I wanted to go out and watch them and perhaps take photos but the bum in me decided to not go out under the scorching sun. Hubby and I did go out, as the sun was setting, to go to mass. Yes, we stayed in again, since the kids are not here and there seemed to be no reason to go anywhere (if they are here, they prefer to stay in too) since we have everything we need in the house, food and new DVDs 🙂
Here is a sunset photo that I took as I stepped out of the front door:
By the way, I have started a no fuss, no frills weekly meme called Weekly Questions (and you can read my first entry by clicking the Weekly Question 1 post on my left sidebar under Recent Posts). To those interested to join, please click here.
Thank you and have a great week 🙂

This, more often than not, is how the ONLY functioning faucet in our home looks like. No, the other faucets (we have 7 more) are not in need of replacements. To even say that only that faucet outside, in front of the front door is the ONLY ONE where water comes out probably does not begin to describe how much we value this precious commodity.
The water system where we live is so pathetic we only have water at the most five times a week, for a few hours in the morning and another few hours in the afternoon, from 2pm till around 8pm.Yeah, we arrive home from work around 8:30pm, sometimes even later. That silver thing on the bottom right? That is a big basin which we use to catch the water to be transferred in the bathrooms, big container for washing the plates and a bigger container as a water reservoir (yeah right).
Tubig, aming tubig
Ang tulo mo’y sing-dalang
Ng patak ng luha o
Kaya naman sing-hina ng ihi ng bata.
Ano ba talaga
Ang iyong problema,
Di alintana,
Kung nakaligo na o hindi pa.
Yaring mga sahig,
Nanlilimahid na,
At ang aso nama’y
nanganamoy na.
Totoo po ito,
Ilang beses sa isang lingo,
Ang pagtulo ng aming gripo.
Konting oras sa umaga at
Konting oras sa gabi.
Sa labas na lamang,
Wala na sa loob.

Blurred photo, taken from a moving vehicle. Those yellow green plants without leaves and flowers? These used to be sunflowers. We have been experiencing rains during the summer and I expected these plants to perish since these thrive in the heat and sunshine. But the sunflower plants just lost their leaves and flowers and are still standing straight and tall. Baffling, isn’t it?
