Piko o Hopscotch

Posted on January 15, 2009 by greenbucks| 22 Comments

Asul ang tema sa Litratong Pinoy. Paboritong kulay ko ito, karamihan sa aking mga kamiseta ay ganito ang kulay.

The color blue is the theme for Litratong Pinoy. This is my favorite color and most of shirts are blue.

Heto ang larawan ng aking mga anak (yung dalawang naka-asul na pantalon at maliit na nakapulang kamiseta) naglalaro ng piko kasama ang kanilang mga pinsan.

Here is a photo of my children, (both in blue denim pants and the small one in red shirt) playing hopscotch with their cousins.

Ano ang konek nito sa asul? Wala yata, gusto ko lang ipakita na meron pang mga batang masayang naglalaro ng mga larong hindi kelangan ng remote o kaya buttons na pinipindot.

What’s with the blue you ask? Nothing I guess, I just wanted to show that there are still children who enjoy outdoors games and not glued to things that have remote controls and buttons to push.

Yun lang, mga batang naka-asul na naglalaro ng piko. Hehehe, inistretch talaga ang tema di ba?Para di naman seryoso lagi ang entry ko 😉

SIge na nga, heto, iba pang entries ko na ASUL ang tema: Dagat sa Zambales, isa pang larawan ng dagat at  Rainy Day blues.

Warm Pool Waters

Posted on January 12, 2009 by greenbucks| 18 Comments

We were invited to go to a swimming picnic yesterday.

We dd not accept readily because my two younger kids had fever last week and they weren’t too keen to go.

Anyway, we still went since the people who invited us are close friends who are like family to us.

I chanced upon Tony (an in-law of this family who invited us and who we just met yesterday) was doing a sketch in a sketch pad he gave to the birthday girl who was the reason for the party.

He drew this:

Not as fancy like las vegas hotels but for a short weekend getaway with warm pool waters and a view of a mountain with cool breeze, this is one we would not forego.

How was your weekend?

Pula = Katapangan

Posted on January 8, 2009 by greenbucks| 29 Comments

The theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy is RED.

Ang tema ngayong linggo para sa Litratong Pinoy ay PULA.

There are so many interpretations for the color red:  love, hatred, blood, bravery and prosperity. It may also symbolize energy, communism, heat and arrogance. Some even say that red is the color of the devil.

Maraming interpretasyon ang kulay pula: pag-ibig, galit, dugo, katapangan at simbolo ng yaman. Maaari din itong maging simbolo ng lakas, Komunismo, init at kahambugan. Sabi pa nga ng ilan, ang pula ay kulay ng demonyo.

For me, red for bravery is what we need right now. We need this not because we have to battle foreign oppressors like our ancestors but to battle the many hardships we are currently experiencing: financial crisis, lack of political trust and just about any daily struggles that should have been easy but tend to be otherwise.

Exotic Cars

Posted on January 2, 2009 by greenbucks| 4 Comments

I will ask my 7 year old son to enumerate encode the different names of exotic cars that he knows and loves to watch on his favorite TV shows and YouTube channels about rides::

  • McLaren F1
  • Ferrari F60
  • Maserati MC12
  • Porsche 911 Turbo
  • BMW M6
  • Mercedes Benz SLR
  • Buggati Veyron
  • Lamborghini Reventon
  • Lotus Exige
  • Aston Martin DB9
  • Acura NSX

    • Thanks, Julian. He wanted to encode some more but I told him that these would do for now.

    Exotic cars are wonderful but are very expensive. Ferrari parts and services alone would probably mean a fortune for us who can only dream of having these cars.

    For now, we just contend ourselves with this:

    A Ferrari F50 1 : 18 Scale model 😉

    Candle Wishes

    Manigong Bagong Taon sa lahat!

    Akala ko nga walang LP kasi baka puyat ang mga nagsipagsalubong sa Bagong Taon, aba, hindi pala. Katulad ko, alas 5 pa lang, gising na, gawa ng sanay magising ng maaga.

    Ang pambungad na sulatin ko para sa taong ito ay tungkol sa mga kahilingang sinimbolo ng mga kandilang sinindihan namin kagabi.

    Bawat kandila ay may iba’t ibang kulay na may big sabihin.

    Bago kami nag-Media Noche (ako, ang aking kabiyak at ang aming anak na lalaki [tulog si Bunso at natulog ulit si Ate} ) ay nagtanong sa akin ang aking anak na lalaki kung ano sa mga kandilang iyon ang aking gusto. Sabi ko yung “berde”, kasi yun ang kahilingan na patungkol sa pananalapi.

    Tinanong niya ako kung para ba ito sa pambili ng pagkain, pambayad sa school, at pang-gas ng sasakyan para makapunta sa work? Sabi ko “Oo”.

    Hindi ko alam, tinanong din pala niya ang kanyang ama at pareho kami ng sagot.
