Titingin ka ba sa mapa? Magtatanong? O baka kelangan mo nito:

Are you going to look at your map? Ask someone? Or maybe you need this:

O sige na nga, seryoso na. Sa gawing Kanluran, diyan nanggaling ang isa sa mga pinakamalaking impluwensiya sa bansang Pilipinas.

Seriously, it is from the west which gave one of the greatest impact and influences to the Philippine culture:

Oh no! Another one of my sunset photos, this time taken on a Saturday afternoon at home. This rarely happens because I am not usually home early Saturday afternoons. I finish work at 5pm and get usually get home around 6:30pm after I go get some grocery items.

No date here, I had to crop the photo to remove the clothes hanging in a clothes line further down 3 houses from us

Let’s say we forget every stress, in whatever form and shape that comes our way and indulge in SIMPLE PLEASURES that we can enjoy alone. This is much like what we want to do during that Extra Hour where we spend “me” time.

The Weekly Question #9:

What are the 5 simple pleasures that will give you, well, simple pleasures?

My answers:

Enjoy some candies all by myself (almost possible).

Have time enough to watch the sky change colors during sunset (possible).

Have time (and energy) for a leisurely morning walk. Once a week would do

Have time enough to finish a book without forgetting the plot or the page. (almost impossible)

Walking barefoot on the sand. This can evolve to a HHWW (with swaying arms) with hubby. Now this is probably a long shot but still, a simple pleasure.

Ahhh, I am thinking about these simple pleasures right now but these would have to wait for I have to indulge one simple pleasure I have forgotten to add, go to sleep.

Now, if only I can ask the hubby to tell the two younger kids watching a Formula One video with him to go sleep too, I would be happy indeed.

Napakagandang pagmasdan ang luntiang kapaligiran. Hindi masama ang pag-unlad kung ang kapaligiran ay hindi nakalimutang pagyamanin.

It is lovely to see a green environment. Progress is good but caring for the environment should NOT be forgotten.

Ngunit tila bagang madalas ang tao ay nakakalimot sa responsibilidad na nasa kanila, na nasa ating kamay ang pag-aalaga ng kalikasan.

But oftentimes, people forget that the responsibilities are theirs, ours, in taking care of the environment.

Kelan ba talaga tayo matututo? Magtatanda? Kapag may mga buhay nang nawala? Narito ang isang larawang mas malaki, medyo nakakasilaw lang sa liwanag, hehe.

When will we ever learn our lessons? When there are lives lost? Here is another photo, a bigger one of the same place but its a little bright.
