Have Luggage, Will Travel

Posted on February 25, 2010 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

The season for traveling is here. Yep, summer, undoubtedly is here, whether we like it or not. My kids are excited to travel down south to visit their grandma, my MIL.

The ports and airports are now beginning to be filled with vacationers, hauling humongous luggage and/or carting off custom cardboard boxes.

Typical with vacationers especially those going home to celebrate fiestas and the Lenten season would be to bring home big cans of biscuits to bring home to their families.

This is a question that has been asked many times: “how can you distinguish a Filipino among so many travelers in an airport?”

Well, he is the one with the most luggage because relatives of friends asked him to bring home packages for their relatives 😉

Kesehodang maiwan ang gamit niya wag lang ang padala! 😀

Mahusay Nga Ba ang Pinoy?

Ang Pinoy ay mahusay, walang kaduda-duda dun.

Heto nga o, bag na gawa sa newspaper. Ganda no? Panalo ang bonggang Vigan street scene na painting. Isa lamang iyan sa napakaraming angking kahusayan ng mga Pilipino.

Sa isang banda, mahusay din ang Pinoy sa mga kalokohan.

San ka pa, kapwa Pilipino lolokohin, o kaya mga kasambahay binubugbog, ang ibang magagandang lugar ay sinusulatan ng kung anu-ano o kaya dinudumihan.

Sabagay, sa bilis ng pagdami natin, talagang hindi mapipigilan ang pagsulpot ng mga pasaway, na bata pa lang eh kita mo na na parang tila ba walang patutunguhan ang buhay. Madalas, ibang tao ang tutulong sa kanila at hindi ang pamilya nila.

Kulang na nga lang ibenta ang bansa natin sa mga Koreanong banyagang nagsusulputan na parang kabute sa dami at parang paputok sa ingay.

Ikaw, proud ka ba na maging Pinoy?

View From the Second Floor Patio

Posted on February 13, 2010 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I enjoy going up the second floor patio of my MIL’s home.

There, while I sit on the stairs going to the third floor,  I can see a whole lot of things like treetops, lovely sunset skies, the shell lamps hanging on the trellis, flowers below the trellis, flying birds and occasionally, big planes.

Yes, the space needs new patio furniture which is the reason why I sit on the stairs.

Treetops Sunset

I don’t really mind sitting on the stairs if I see this view.

Makukulay na Balabal

Ang unang pumasok sa isip ko sa salitang “IYO” ay ang vocal exercises namin nung araw na “i-i-i-yo-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho-ho-ho-ho”. Hindi parang tawa ni Santa yan kungdi pataas na tono tapos pabababa yung pangalawang set ng ho, ho, ho 😀

Anyway, baka kung san pa mapunta ang usapan, ang aking post ay tungkol sa katanungan “Ano ang IYOng paboritong kulay?”

Sa aking pagtawid sa Landmark sa TriNoma kapag ako ay umuuwi mula sa aking 2x/week na “work” minsan ay nakatuwaan kong kuhanan ng larawan ang mga balabal na ito.

Medyo hindi nga lang yata maganda ang pagkakakuha ko kasi nagmamadali ang mga kasama kong mga anak ko (di ko tuloy na-adjust ang aperture at ISO, joke lang…)

Gusto ko diyan yung mga (mga talaga eh no?) blue, shade of aqua at lilac.

Ikaw?
