Tanned

Posted on March 15, 2012 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Summer is here! Though we have been experiencing an allergy-inducing few days this week because of the drizzles and cloudy weather, summer is definitely here. The neighborhood pool almost always has people swimming. I’ve been seeing tanned skin these days and I think the tan is more from beach bumming than spray on tan.

Run United 1 2012

We spotted these guys who are running in a run we went to last week. We were on our way home because we only participated in the 3k category and I think these guys are from the 21k. They look tanned,  right? I hope they put on sun block before they ran.

Kandila at Dasal

Madaming kandila para sa mga panalangin:

Marahil kung iisa-isahin natin ang mga panalangin ng bawat isang Pilipino, milyong-milyong kandila ang ating gagamitin. Ganun kadami dahil napakadami na natin.

Kandila at hiling sa post na ito.

Kulay Abo

Posted on February 3, 2012 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

May pagkakataong ang kulay abo ay tila hindi exciting. May pagkakataong ito naman ay tila ayos lang, depende sa mood ng tumitingin.

Para sa akin, ang kulay abo, lalo na kung titignan sa kalagayan ng panahon, ay katumbas ng tila malungkot, di maintindihan at nakaka-allergy attack na araw. Kung sa kasuotan naman, para sa akin, ito ay isang neutral color na pwede iterno kahit sa ano’ng kulay upang maging mas kaiga-igaya.

Sa pagkakataong ito, masasabi kong ang kulay abo ng tulay na daraanan ng mga malilit na bangka ay tamang-tama sa pag-blend sa kapaligiran.

Marahil kung ito ay makulay, magiging masakit sa mata. Kung berde naman, magmumukhang camouflage.

Cool Weather

Posted on January 26, 2012 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Cool. Not cold but just cool, that’s what the weather is like these days. I love cool nights and cool mornings though allergies make me want to change my mind. I haven’t had allergy attacks as of now, so I hope it stays that way.

I am sure a lot of homes have already purchased hot tub covers. I wouldn’t mind being in a hot tub myself except we don’t have one, lol.

During the day though is another thing because the sun bears down on us like summer heat. No wonder there are a lot of people who are sick these days. Aside from the usual allergies, cough, colds, a lot of people complain of stomach ache. In fact, just yesterday, a student complained of it and a friend’s son is hospitalized due to stomach pain. I wish both these kids who are dear to me to be well as soon as possible.

Pagmimina sa Pilipinas

Posted on January 19, 2012 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Sa kabila ng pagsasabing “It’s more fun in the Philippines” dapat din bigyan ng pansin ang nakalulungkot na kalagayan ng ating kapiligiran bunga ng pagmimina.

Narito ang ilang mga larawang nagpapakita ng ilan lang mga lugar na mayroong pagmimina sa Pilipinas:

Walang watermark kasi ang mga ito ay larawan ng mga larawang kinunan ko mula sa isang diskusyon tungkol sa pagmimina sa Pilipinas, partikular sa Palawan.
