Early Morning Smog

I would have been delighted if whatever makes the trees look hazy is fog but alas, deep in my heart I know it’s not.

6:07 am.

And when it’s supposed to be clearer as the sun comes up and everything is warmer, the haze stayed on at 6:32am and it got even worse:

Ayan, ulam ko minsang nag-lunch kami ni hubby sa mall bago pumasok sa trabaho: Fish and Tofu sa Le Ching Tea House.

Fish and Tofu

Malapot ang sabaw. Malasa. Nakakabusog (ang laki ng kanin kasi).

Siyempre ang nasa isip ng lola nyo, “kaya ko itong lutuin, mas mura at mas marami kahit nakakapagod”. Pero kung minsan, kapag kulang na ang oras, ok na din ang kumain ng walang kapagod-pagod, di ba?

Tara, kain na tayo 🙂

Manny said in his interview that “Boxing is not for killing each other you know“.

Ilaw sa Kisame

Marami pala ang pinatutungkulan ng “FRAME”.

Malamang sa dami nito, me maiisip kahit na sino bukod sa larawang nasa picture frame. Basta sa akin, ayokong maging “framed” ako sa kung ano mang hindi magandang sitwasyon 😉

Lights

Sa reception yan ni bayaw nung kasal niya Miyerkules nung isang linggo. Sa kisame ng lugar ng reception nila, nakita ko ang mga naggagandahang mga ilaw na naka-frame. Ang ganda din ng mga ibong may ilaw.

Type mo ba na may ilaw sa kisame?

Ako oo, huwag lang sobrang maliwanag at sobrang bigat kasi baka mahulugan ako 😀
