Calamansi Flower

Posted on February 26, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Napakarami kong larawan ng mga magagandang bulaklak. I have many photos of beautiful flowers.

Pero napili kong ilagay ay bulaklak sa ibaba para sa aking Litratong Pinoy entry. But I chose the photo below as my Litratong Pinoy entry:

Calamansi flower

Simple, puti, maliit. SUbalit sa loob nito ay isang maliit na bunga na magiging source ng maasim at masustansiyang juice na hitik sa bitamina. Simple, white and small but inside is a small sour fruit that would be  a rich source of vitamin c.

Bakit nga ba ito ang pinili ko? Kasi na-excite ako sa mga maliliit na bulaklak ito sa aming maliit na hardin ng mga pu-puwedeng kainin o ilagay sa pagkain pagdating ng araw 😀

Tipanan

Posted on February 19, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Para sa mga magsing-irog, importante ang magkaroon ng lugar na tipanan na masasabi nilang espesyal at bahagi ng kanilang relasyon. Dito sa tipanang ito, saksi ang lugar sa mga pangarap, paglalambing o kaya alitan ng mga magsing-irog.

For couples, it is important to have a meeting place that they consider special to them and is a part of their relationship. This place bears witness to their dreams, sweetness and even their arguments.

Kung ako ang papipiliin, mas gusto kong tipanan ang nature, kumbaga at least dito, kahit kung minsan hindi mo maintindihan ang panahon, mas kaiga-igaya at nakaka-relaks.

If it were up to me, I would prefer the meeting place to be outdoors because it is more relaxing.

Home is Where the Heart Is

Posted on February 12, 2009 by greenbucks| 60 Comments

Steel heart. Bakal ng korteng puso.

That is a part of the iron grills of the front fence. I took this photo during the first week of the year with the colorful sunset sky as a backdrop.

Eto ay parte ng rehas sa bakod namin. Kinuha ko ang larawan noong unang linggo ng taong ito na ang langit na may magandang kulay dahil sa paglubog ng araw.

This is kinda symbolic because I was inside and have been staying at home enjoying domesticity due to the longest vacation last year. My vision of the world outside maybe limited but I must admit I enjoyed spending these days at home.

Eto ay may ibang pagkahulugan sa akin dahil ako ay nasa loob at ilang araw ding nasa bahay lamang dahil sa pinakamahabang bakasyon noong isang taon. Ang nakikita ko sa labas ay limitado pero ako ay lubhang masaya sa mga araw na ito kasama ang aking pamilya.

Isn’t it that we always say, “HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS”?

Brown Waters

Matamis. Sweet.

Yan ang unang pumapasok sa isipan natin kung tsokolate ang pag-uusapan. That is the first thing that comes to mind when one is talking about chocolates.

Me in-edit na nga akong larawan para dito, isang chocolate fountain. Kaya lang nagbago ang isip ko. Heto na lang: I have already edited a photo for this theme, a chocolate fountain. But I changed my mind and decided on this instead:

Bucao River, Botolan, Zambales

Ang Ilog ng Bucao na dumadaloy mula sa Bulkang Pinatubuan Pinatubo. May pagka-kulay tsokolate ang tubig. Marahil dahil ang mga bundok sa may di kalayuan ay kulay tsokolate din kasi kalbo na. Lalo na sa tag-init, litaw ang kulay tsokolate sa mga kinalbong bundok.

Bucao River which runs from Mount Punatubo. The water is brownish, like chocolate. Maybe because the mountains in the background are also brown because there are no more trees. The brown color is apparent during summer.

Lilang Balabal

Posted on January 29, 2009 by greenbucks| 36 Comments

Lila ang tema sa linggong ito para sa Litratong Pinoy. Purple/Violet is the theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy.

Uso sa panahong me kaginawan ang gumamit ng balabal (pero sa kasong ito, parang tela lang to at hindi korteng tatsulok). Kahit nga hindi malamig, marami akong nakikitang gumagamit nito. Bakit kanyo? Kasi naka-sleeveless sila pero malaki ang braso kaya gumagamit ng pantakip. Guilty ako na malaki ang braso ko, pero hindi na lang ako mag-sleeveless na tatakpan naman. Ay ang sama ko. 😀

The “in” thing to use during cold weather is the shawl although it just looks like a piece of cloth and not exactly a shawl with the triangular shape. Even if its not very cold, I see a lot of women using this. Why? They wear sleeveless clothes but because their arms are a bit fat, they use the shawl to cover the flab. I am guilty of having such arms, so I would rather not wear sleeveless clothes only to cover my arms. Ooops, my bad! 😀

Heto si bunso, kasama si kuya, suot ang lilang balabal ni Ate. Kuha ito noong nag-celebrate ang aming homeschoolers ng United Nations’ Day. Sila ay tumitingin ng mga gamit mula sa kontinente ng Timog Amerika. Pang-isla ang suot nila kasi Oceania ang aming grupo.

That is our youngest child with her older brother, wearing the purple shawl of our eldest child. This photo was taken when the homeschoolers celebrated United Nations’ Day. They are looking at things representing South America. They are wearing “island” get-up because we belong to the Oceania group.

Maligayang Huwebes po!
