Made in the Philippines

Posted on March 5, 2009 by greenbucks| 41 Comments

Napakadaming magagandang produkto ang gawang Pilipinas. Isa na dito ay ang mga bag na yari sa mga lokal na materyal. There are a lot of wondeful products made in the Philippines. One of these are bags made of indigenous materials that are locally available to the area where these are manufactured.

Makulay, may karakter at magaganda. Meron ka ba isa sa mga ganitong bag na gawang Pinoy? Colorful, has lots of certain endearing characteristics and wonderful designs. Do you have at least one that is Philippine made?

Kung meron kang bag na ganito, hindi ka lang nakakatulong sa pangkabuhayan ng iyong mga kababayan, parang sinasabi mo na ding ipinagmamalaki mo ang gawang Pinoy (parang mahirap yata isulat ito, hehehe) 🙂 If you have bags like these, you do not just help in the livelihood programs of your fellow Filipinos, you also show that you are proud of things that are made in the Philippines 🙂

Calamansi Flower

Posted on February 26, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Napakarami kong larawan ng mga magagandang bulaklak. I have many photos of beautiful flowers.

Pero napili kong ilagay ay bulaklak sa ibaba para sa aking Litratong Pinoy entry. But I chose the photo below as my Litratong Pinoy entry:

Calamansi flower

Simple, puti, maliit. SUbalit sa loob nito ay isang maliit na bunga na magiging source ng maasim at masustansiyang juice na hitik sa bitamina. Simple, white and small but inside is a small sour fruit that would be  a rich source of vitamin c.

Bakit nga ba ito ang pinili ko? Kasi na-excite ako sa mga maliliit na bulaklak ito sa aming maliit na hardin ng mga pu-puwedeng kainin o ilagay sa pagkain pagdating ng araw 😀

Are Your Ready for Summer?

Posted on February 25, 2009 by greenbucks| 1 Comment

Are you ready for summer? The weather station said in the news yesterday that summer has officially started.

Now I am panicking because I should have started slimming down when the new year just started  😀

Now that I am about to do a drastic change in my work schedule, maybe I should try doing some fitness routines since I am going to have more time on my hands. Like mopping the floor while I’m dancing. Or doing stretching while I dust the library shelves.

Maybe I need to increase my intake of raw food like vegetables and fruit and stop the habit of driking soda and eating chocolates for dessert. Noooo!

Maybe I should think about Ephedrasil hardcore as an option.

Or maybe, I’ll skip summer and just bum in the house. Of course NOT. 😀

Tipanan

Posted on February 19, 2009 by greenbucks| 26 Comments

Para sa mga magsing-irog, importante ang magkaroon ng lugar na tipanan na masasabi nilang espesyal at bahagi ng kanilang relasyon. Dito sa tipanang ito, saksi ang lugar sa mga pangarap, paglalambing o kaya alitan ng mga magsing-irog.

For couples, it is important to have a meeting place that they consider special to them and is a part of their relationship. This place bears witness to their dreams, sweetness and even their arguments.

Kung ako ang papipiliin, mas gusto kong tipanan ang nature, kumbaga at least dito, kahit kung minsan hindi mo maintindihan ang panahon, mas kaiga-igaya at nakaka-relaks.

If it were up to me, I would prefer the meeting place to be outdoors because it is more relaxing.

Lilang Balabal

Posted on January 29, 2009 by greenbucks| 36 Comments

Lila ang tema sa linggong ito para sa Litratong Pinoy. Purple/Violet is the theme for this week’s Litratong Pinoy.

Uso sa panahong me kaginawan ang gumamit ng balabal (pero sa kasong ito, parang tela lang to at hindi korteng tatsulok). Kahit nga hindi malamig, marami akong nakikitang gumagamit nito. Bakit kanyo? Kasi naka-sleeveless sila pero malaki ang braso kaya gumagamit ng pantakip. Guilty ako na malaki ang braso ko, pero hindi na lang ako mag-sleeveless na tatakpan naman. Ay ang sama ko. 😀

The “in” thing to use during cold weather is the shawl although it just looks like a piece of cloth and not exactly a shawl with the triangular shape. Even if its not very cold, I see a lot of women using this. Why? They wear sleeveless clothes but because their arms are a bit fat, they use the shawl to cover the flab. I am guilty of having such arms, so I would rather not wear sleeveless clothes only to cover my arms. Ooops, my bad! 😀

Heto si bunso, kasama si kuya, suot ang lilang balabal ni Ate. Kuha ito noong nag-celebrate ang aming homeschoolers ng United Nations’ Day. Sila ay tumitingin ng mga gamit mula sa kontinente ng Timog Amerika. Pang-isla ang suot nila kasi Oceania ang aming grupo.

That is our youngest child with her older brother, wearing the purple shawl of our eldest child. This photo was taken when the homeschoolers celebrated United Nations’ Day. They are looking at things representing South America. They are wearing “island” get-up because we belong to the Oceania group.

Maligayang Huwebes po!
