One of the advantages in living near the countryside is almost being in one with nature. Flowers, trees, the fields, even the sky, are one’s view anytime of the day. The air is fresh too and oftentimes sweet. At night, the stars are much brighter too.
Living in the countryside enables one to be sufficient. Fresh produce can be harvested from the backyard. Eggs from chickens are fresh and so is the milk from animals. Meat too from cattle and fowls can be had for fresh.

The theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy is golden.
Ang tema para sa linggong ito sa Litratong Pinoy ay ginintuan.
I thought about doing something different with this entry and related this to age. Yes, the golden age which we probably do not want to celebrate yet.
Naisip kong ibahin ang aking lahok at ang edad ang aking naging ideya. Oo, ang gintong taong kapanganakan, o ang ikalimampung taon na malamang hindi pa natin gustong maranasan.
My idea was to post photos of people well into their 50’s who still work hard to support their families. Nothing bad here but to those who are older? How many times have we heard about a grandpa or a grandma with their frail bodies and brittle bones working not just to support their able-bodied children but also their grandchildren? We sympathize with them, sometimes we seethe with anger why they allow this to happen.
Ang aking ideya ay maglagay ng larawan ng mga matatandang lampas na sa kanilang ika-limampung taon ngunit nagtra-trabaho pa para suportahan ang kanilang pamilya. Wala namang masama dun pero kung mas matanda pa dun? Ilang beses na ba tayo nakarining ng ganitong kwento tungkol sa isang lolo o lola na bukod sa mahina na eh nagtatrabaho pa para suportahan hindi lamang ang kanilang mga anak na ayaw magbanat ng buto kungdi pati anak ng mga ito? Naaawa tayo sa kanila, kung minsan nang-gagalaiti tayo sa galit bakit ganito ang kanilang sitwasyon.

It is Thursday once again. This is a happy day for me because this is not just Litratong Pinoy day but a day wherein I stay home. The theme for this Thursday is SILVER. This is a difficult theme for me for I have lots of photos with silver.
Huwebes na naman. Ito ay isang masayang araw para sa akin dahil bukod sa Litratong Pinoy, ito ay araw na nasa bahay lang ako. Ang tema para sa araw na ito ay (KULAY) TANSO. Nahirapan akong mamili sa sandamakmak kung mga larawan namay kulay na animo’ypilak.
I will try to see how much you know about cars and let you answer my questions without seeing the image’s caption.
Gusto kong malaman ang inyong kaalaman sa sasakyan at pasasagutin sa aking mga tanong na hindi titingin sa label ng larawan.
Do you like this car? Who can tell me what this is?
Eto, gusto mo ba ang kotseng ito? Sino ang makakapagsabi kung ano ang tawag o modelo ng kotseng ito?
________________________________________________
Here is another one. Can you tell me the make of this car?
Eto pa ang isa. Sino ang makakapagsabi kung anong tatak ng otong ito?

Yup, that is a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. But what number?
Oo, Evo yan, pero pang-ilang Evo ba yan?
Maligayang araw ng Huwebes sa inyong lahat. Di bale, magkakarun din tayo ng ganyang mga sasakyan. Meron na nga kami, laruan ng mga anak ko 😀

Yes, quite a mouthful actually.
The Ilog Maria Sting-less Citronella Insect Repellent with Propolis repels mosquitoes without chemical since it uses plant oils.
Why use this? With dengue fever cases rising and seems like the end is not in sight, it is better to be safe than sorry.

I was a bit frustrated for I wanted to see the sun rise over the mountains. But we had a slow start so the sun was already rising when we were still in the house.
We traveled anyway and seemed to waste gas along the way.
As we did so, we saw lush green mountains, which were a part of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, said to be the longest mountain range in the country.
The roads started to twist and turn as we burned fuel. I don’t really mind, we were enjoying the scenery.
Oh no! It is starting to rain. How will I take photos? How will we have our outdoor breakfast?
We didn’t get our outdoor picnic breakfast. I wasn’t able to take the photos I wanted but we got this:
Nature really is full of surprises 🙂
We also went to another wonderful place not frequented by people but that would be for another post.

(There was a nasty accident involving a motorcycle rider before or after that turn in the second photo. The ride was really in bad shape and the rider was lying along the road with his fellow riders. I hope he is ok. There have been a lot of motorcycle-related accidents in this area I am wondering they weren’t banned from going this way. They could get really fast on these twisties and tend to overdrive and have accidents. I shudder thinking about this when my husband rides with his buddies to this place.)
