Heto, mga maninipis na petal (ano ba ang Tagalog nito?) ng bulaklak na kulay pink. Me bonus pa na mga itlog ng butterfly.
Ganda no (hindi ng picture ha pero ng wonder of nature)? Nakaswerte ako diyan. Matagal na larawan na iyan (2006), nakita ko lang sa files kasi manipis na ang available space ng aking hard drive kaya ako naglilipat ng files.
Nagamit ko na dati ang picture na ito sa aking teacher blog pero sige lang, ginamit ko pa din 🙂
Magandang araw ng Huwebes sa aking mga kaibigan sa LP 🙂

We went to the 31st Manila International Book Fair on its last day which meant yesterday. I was really hoping to still get a bag in the Scholastic Books booth for the “bag-all-you-can” promo.
And I did. Woohoo! My total bill was PhP7,740 but I only paid for PhP995.00. Now what bargain could be better than that? I didn’t get just any books, these are Scholastic Books that we definitely love. Just ask my Geronimo Stilton fans in the house 😉
I got teacher reference books, mostly worksheets for reading comprehension, vocabulary, math, and writing.
We got books from other bookstores like recipe books (there goes the effective weight loss program I plan to start), the Time Almanac for Kids 2010 and 2011 for the son, ghost stories for the older daughter, Chikiting storybooks from Vibal and a Thea Stilton book for the youngest child.
Ang Ondoy ay isa sa dalawang bagyo na rumagasa, kumitil sa buhay ng marami at sumira ng mga ari-arian ng ating mga kababayan noong isang taon.
Apektado din kami sa aming lugar lalo na ang aming mga kapitbahay. Masasabing “swerte” kami dahil hindi kami pinasok ng tubig baha pero hindi pa din ito garantiya na sa mga susunod pang Ondoy at Pepeng ay ganito pa din ang sitwasyon namin.
Maraming aral na natutunan agkatapos ng napakalaking unos na ito. Sinasabi nga na ang mga ito ay tila bagang malaking dagok, malaking pagsubok na hindi lamang ang mga naapektuhan ang mga nagmuni-muni ng kahulugan ng buhay bagkus lahat ng tao na naging saksi kung gaano kalaki ang pinsalang tinamo ng ating mga kababayan.
Sana wala nang katulad nito na mangyari muli. Dahil ito ay mula sa kalikasan, dalangin ko na sana nakahanda ang mga dapat maghanda upang hindi na kasing laki at kasing dami ng nasirang buhay ang magiging sanhi.

Ondoy was one of the two major typhoons that hit the country last year. The onslaught of flood waters took many lives, destroyed a lot of properties like homes that took years to build, vehicles which they needed to have vehicle insurance quotes for repair (which is not easy to do when their belongings have been washed away by the flood waters?) and personal belongings.
Ondoy took with it people’s dreams and hopes.
This tragic event brought out the best and the worst in our people.
I personally know friends who have been on the path of the deluge, whose homes were almost destroyed, whose lifelong personal belongings washed away, and loved ones they almost lost.
Everyone had a story to tell.
Everyone had some cleaning up to do one way or another, depending on how the onslaught of flood has affected them.
People tried to put their lives back together.
People tried to see the good this tragedy brought despite the major setbacks they went through.
People’s resolves were tested.
I sincerely hope that everyone has learned a thing or two about this and sincerely pray that none like this will happen again.
