Piko o Hopscotch

Posted on January 15, 2009 by greenbucks| 22 Comments

Asul ang tema sa Litratong Pinoy. Paboritong kulay ko ito, karamihan sa aking mga kamiseta ay ganito ang kulay.

The color blue is the theme for Litratong Pinoy. This is my favorite color and most of shirts are blue.

Heto ang larawan ng aking mga anak (yung dalawang naka-asul na pantalon at maliit na nakapulang kamiseta) naglalaro ng piko kasama ang kanilang mga pinsan.

Here is a photo of my children, (both in blue denim pants and the small one in red shirt) playing hopscotch with their cousins.

Ano ang konek nito sa asul? Wala yata, gusto ko lang ipakita na meron pang mga batang masayang naglalaro ng mga larong hindi kelangan ng remote o kaya buttons na pinipindot.

What’s with the blue you ask? Nothing I guess, I just wanted to show that there are still children who enjoy outdoors games and not glued to things that have remote controls and buttons to push.

Yun lang, mga batang naka-asul na naglalaro ng piko. Hehehe, inistretch talaga ang tema di ba?Para di naman seryoso lagi ang entry ko 😉

SIge na nga, heto, iba pang entries ko na ASUL ang tema: Dagat sa Zambales, isa pang larawan ng dagat at  Rainy Day blues.

Warm Pool Waters

Posted on January 12, 2009 by greenbucks| 18 Comments

We were invited to go to a swimming picnic yesterday.

We dd not accept readily because my two younger kids had fever last week and they weren’t too keen to go.

Anyway, we still went since the people who invited us are close friends who are like family to us.

I chanced upon Tony (an in-law of this family who invited us and who we just met yesterday) was doing a sketch in a sketch pad he gave to the birthday girl who was the reason for the party.

He drew this:

Not as fancy like las vegas hotels but for a short weekend getaway with warm pool waters and a view of a mountain with cool breeze, this is one we would not forego.

How was your weekend?

Hanging Bridge

Posted on January 5, 2009 by greenbucks| 15 Comments

One of the things we enjoy doing when we go to that place to savor cool mountain air (my other WS entry) is to walk on the hanging bridge.

I was not able to walk on this bridge this time because the drizzles made the wood slippery. I don’t know why my running shoes felt that way.

Hanging Bridge which I also featured with a photo taken from a different perspective in this post.

2009 is finally here. We look forward to what this year will bring us at the same time we arm ourselves with the many life lessons learned from the year that was 2008.

Yes, we may still have hang-ups or emotional baggage but this year, we tell ourselves that we will do everything better than last year.

What are you looking forward to in 2009?

Candle Wishes

Manigong Bagong Taon sa lahat!

Akala ko nga walang LP kasi baka puyat ang mga nagsipagsalubong sa Bagong Taon, aba, hindi pala. Katulad ko, alas 5 pa lang, gising na, gawa ng sanay magising ng maaga.

Ang pambungad na sulatin ko para sa taong ito ay tungkol sa mga kahilingang sinimbolo ng mga kandilang sinindihan namin kagabi.

Bawat kandila ay may iba’t ibang kulay na may big sabihin.

Bago kami nag-Media Noche (ako, ang aking kabiyak at ang aming anak na lalaki [tulog si Bunso at natulog ulit si Ate} ) ay nagtanong sa akin ang aking anak na lalaki kung ano sa mga kandilang iyon ang aking gusto. Sabi ko yung “berde”, kasi yun ang kahilingan na patungkol sa pananalapi.

Tinanong niya ako kung para ba ito sa pambili ng pagkain, pambayad sa school, at pang-gas ng sasakyan para makapunta sa work? Sabi ko “Oo”.

Hindi ko alam, tinanong din pala niya ang kanyang ama at pareho kami ng sagot.
