Pasko Na!

litratongpinoy

Muling nagbabalik ang Litratong Pinoy.

Tamang-tama ang pagbabalik na ito, kasabay sa hudyat na tema ng pagpasok ng buwan ng Pasko. Alam naman natin na dito sa Pilipinas, napaka-espesyal ng Pasko.

Narito ang  isang hudyat sa aming tahanan na wala nang makapipigil pa sa pagdating ng Pasko:

Christmas paper tree

Isang simpleng paper tree, gawa ng mga anak ko noong isang taon. Isa yan sa mga ginawa nilang tree ornaments.

Nawa ay maging maayos ang pagdating ng Pasko sa ating tahanan at puso. Tandaan, si Hesus ang dahilan kaya tayo meron nito.

Happy LP!

Pulang Polo

Huwebes na naman, Litratong Pinoy ulit na me temang BLUSA/POLO. Dahil hindi ako mahilig sa blusa, polo na lang ang ilalagay kong tema. Its Thursday once again and its time for Litratong Pinoy with the theme BLOUSE/POLO. Since I am not fond of wearing blouses, I decided to use polo instead.

Heto pong mamang naka-polong pula o pulang polo  😀  ay ang aking kabiyak na nakasakay sa bisikletang me training wheels. The man wearing red polo is my husband who is riding on a bicycle with training wheels.

Marunong naman po siyang magbisikleta ng para sa mga matatanda, katunayan, nandito siya sa isang collage ng isa pang photo meme na sinasalihan ko. Napag-“tripan” lang niya patawanin ang mga bata. Ayun, siyempre, tawa kaming tawa kasi hinahabol siya ni bunso sabay sigaw ng “Hey, come back, give me that!”

He can ride a bicycle and as a matter of fact, he can be seen in this collage that I made for another photo meme that I participate in. He just wanted to make the children laugh and have fun. We were in stitches when this was happening because our youngest child was running after him shouting “Hey, come back, give me that!”

Hanging Bridge

One of the things we enjoy doing when we go to that place to savor cool mountain air (my other WS entry) is to walk on the hanging bridge.

I was not able to walk on this bridge this time because the drizzles made the wood slippery. I don’t know why my running shoes felt that way.

Hanging Bridge which I also featured with a photo taken from a different perspective in this post.

A New Bike!

The kids got their Christmas gift a week earlier before Christmas: a new bike (which they had to share since we still have a bigger and rarely used bike which belongs to my eldest daughter).

Biking in the house ain’t fun so we bring this bike if we go to my hubby’s family home where  the streets are much safer to navigate than those in front of our house.

Here is my son, guiding his bike as he gets ready to tackle the wide roads of our favorite weekend place, that place where we go walking in the woods on Sunday mornings, and/or have picnic,  and/or go to hear mass.

Just the perfect place to learn to ride a bike, which is like a bikers’ “heaven” during Sundays.

Bonifacio High Street at Night

Saturday was spent having sessions with my enrichment students from 8am till 5pm. Sunday was spent staying in except for mass during the early evening.

When my husband and children came to pick me up around 5pm, I was so hungry that we went directly to a restaurant and didn’t have time to go to church for the anticipated mass because it was a bit late for that.

We decided to go to Market! Market! so that I could get some books at the weekend book sale of a popular local bookstore chain.

I got a number of books to be given as gifts. Yes, bargain books as low as PhP20, like the earlier ones I got. Of course, this was in line with my keeping a frugal Christmas 😀

Anyway, a night stroll at Bonifaco High Street and Serendra was a delight! We did have some problems with the parking though, everywhere was full. Course, that being a Saturday night.

There were so many colors to see at night. The place is huge with open spaces where children (and pets) can move about.
