Suman at Manggang Hinog

Posted on January 22, 2009 by greenbucks| 57 Comments

Kahel ang tema para sa Litratong Pinoy ngayong linggong ito. Siyempre naloka ako dahil gusto kong  maglagay ng larawan ng kahel na prutas para angkop di ba? (sabay kamot ulo) Pero di yata ayos yun. Tsaka sa mga nakakikilala sa akin, alam nila hindi ko “type” ang orange at fuschia pink na kulay kaya wala ako halos gamit na ganitong kulay.

Orange, the color, is the theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy. Of course, I wanted to put a photo of an orange fruit so that is fits the theme right? I guess not. For those who know me well, they know I dislike the color orange and fuschia pink so I do not have things belonging to me with that color.

Ayan manggang hinog na kulay kahel (o kulay mangga, hehe), nakalagay sa toothpick kasama ng hiniwang suman. Almusal namin minsang malamig na umaga nung mahabang bakasyon nung panahon ng Kapaskuhan. May kasama itong inuming mainit na tsokolate mula sa nilutong tablea.

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.

Pula = Katapangan

Posted on January 8, 2009 by greenbucks| 29 Comments

The theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy is RED.

Ang tema ngayong linggo para sa Litratong Pinoy ay PULA.

There are so many interpretations for the color red:  love, hatred, blood, bravery and prosperity. It may also symbolize energy, communism, heat and arrogance. Some even say that red is the color of the devil.

Maraming interpretasyon ang kulay pula: pag-ibig, galit, dugo, katapangan at simbolo ng yaman. Maaari din itong maging simbolo ng lakas, Komunismo, init at kahambugan. Sabi pa nga ng ilan, ang pula ay kulay ng demonyo.

For me, red for bravery is what we need right now. We need this not because we have to battle foreign oppressors like our ancestors but to battle the many hardships we are currently experiencing: financial crisis, lack of political trust and just about any daily struggles that should have been easy but tend to be otherwise.

Candle Wishes

Posted on January 1, 2009 by greenbucks| 15 Comments

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.

Thoughts for 2008

Posted on December 31, 2008 by greenbucks| 4 Comments

2008 was a special year for me.

The children had less sickness and we all learned a lot about each other as we spend more time at home due to gas price increase. Now that the prices are lower, we resume going back to our Sunday activities.

There are so many things to be thankful for, be these negative or positive.

I have just written a while ago,

being grateful is a big thing, because when you are, you still see these things as blessing and life lessons to be learned

Career-wise was still the same and if truth be told, I have had some painful moments to keep me company but I will not dwell on these moments.

I am thinking of taking some risks since I feel I have been complacent for long.

My online activities became better. I have created two more blogs including this one where I was able to write topics that may not interest others but I have written things that came from my heart.

Virtual friends became good personal friends with a common goal: to help other mothers like us in the never-ending quest to become better at what we do.
