That day, I was with my cousin and our neighbor Ria and we just went there to check it out, but of course we did some money so we can buy certain items that caught our interest.<br /><br />It was a bigger site than the former location. A lot of goodies to choose from... and a lot of food to eat, too! Roaming around the market can be tiring and when we saw this stall selling drinks, we knew it was the perfect thirst quencher.<br /><br />My first choice was the Citrus Malunggay (Moringa) because I do eat moringa as vegetable, but it was the first time I saw moringa drink. It was a very light drink - kinda like water with a hint of citrus and sweetness. Ria chose the Pineapple Cucumber, very refreshing, too, but it was a little thicker in consistency.<br /><br />We rarely visit the market place, since this visit, I always make it a point to buy myself a cup of the Citrus Malunggay whenever I go there. It's been a while since I last dropped by the Weekend Market, hopefully before the year ends I can have the time to go there and shop...<br /><br />...as well as take pictures.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://mellowyellowmonday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="MellowYellowMondayBadge" src="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk196/drowseymonkey/MYM.jpg" width="100" height="100" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.mygreenlivingideas.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr312/melandriaromero/greenmonday.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-15998336006752236392011-11-28T09:38:00.003+08:002011-11-28T10:04:08.505+08:00Sunflower Cupcake<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6415416139/" title="Sunflower Cupcake by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6415416139_e96be641f2_z.jpg" alt="Sunflower Cupcake" height="480" width="640" /></a></center><br />I miss updating this blog! Well, dieting and exercising can be time consuming, but I will definitely try to maximize my time and manage it wisely so I can do everything I need to do.<br /><br />Anyway, my picture share today is a cupcake given to sister when she (and mom) attended a wedding. The couple did give out souvenirs (pictures and small potted plants), but some of the guests were able to receive some cupcakes, too, which my sister decided to take home.<br /><br />I photographed the cake the time sister handed it to me, but I got to taste the cake the day after. I only ate half of it - just so I would know how it taste like. I love how pastry artists are becoming more and more talented with their ways of presenting cupcakes. I hope next time I can see a cupcake with a quarter moon topper. :)<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://mellowyellowmonday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="MellowYellowMondayBadge" src="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk196/drowseymonkey/MYM.jpg" border="0" height="100" width="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-11198994344649581772011-11-08T15:05:00.002+08:002011-11-08T15:15:25.508+08:001955 Sarao Jeepney<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6324520211/" title="1955 Sarao Jeepney by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6114/6324520211_66d9562cd6_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="1955 Sarao Jeepney"></a></center><br />This 1955 Sarao Jeepney can be seen at the garage of the Sarao Jeepney Factory in Las Pinas. Last year, K and I went there because he told me wanted to check the factory after seeing it featured at a TV Show in England. The first time I saw this factory was lotsa years ago when the Amazing Race (season 5) visited the Philippines as part of its stops. Prior to this trip, I actually thought Sarao already closed its factory, but thanks to K's request, I found out they are still manufacturing jeepneys. Even more thankful were we when we found out the gates of the factory is actually open to people without paying for any entrance fee and without any written or formal request to visit. Of course, it would be good if you give them a call a few hours before your visit so they would know and wouldn't be surprised.:)<br /><br />Late 1990s, I was able to travel to Malolos, Bulacan and saw jeepneys as small as this - something that could carry six passengers (three per each side). I am not sure if the jeepneys there are still as small as this, but times like this - with so much traffic and prices of petrol going up (and up and up), jeepneys are getting longer (longest I have seen can carry 20 passengers - 10 each side) to carry more passengers while saving time and petrol expenses.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEino3T8KZOgunsLGY5qbKdfg4KGBOY5BekUTx73_Wnn5POjeziBfIGm0oQv3uUjVyrhjS0QiErj3liTKH54VW5Rzo0458aQd9Ouc4NQrsuESj7r9zUOoO4t2MGKgsN7-1cFJUI9-QmtGxM/s200/ruby%252Bcopy.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-28579868876881109872011-11-07T21:27:00.002+08:002011-11-07T21:39:26.079+08:00Brush Time!<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6322342058/" title="Toothpaste by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6214/6322342058_05882ca45f_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Toothpaste"></a></center><br />I never really had a favorite toothpaste until I used this - the Colgate Fresh Confidence in green. It's not so minty... and I just find myself brushing my teeth longer than the usual because I love how it feels in the mouth. I still don't know why Colgate products aren't widely available in SM Supermarkets, but it's a good thing that there's Watson where we can buy our toothpaste. :)<br /><br />I brush my teeth every after meal as I find it a good way to lessen my cravings, as we know food would taste bad when you eat right after brushing the teeth, and personally, one more reason why I can't eat even an hour after brushing the teeth is because I feel the food would ruin the minty feel in my mouth.

It gained popularity because of its Santorini (Greece) like features, but it gained more popularity when actor/host John Estrada married beauty queen Priscilla Mereilles, and when it was featured in the movie "No Other Woman," the highest grossing Filipino film of all time.<br /><br />When sister and I went there, security was a bit strict because it was the day after John & Priscilla's wedding, and we were told there were still some VIPs at the resort. We were still allowed to get in, thank heavens. :)<br /><br />Sister and I watched the sunset as we ate our own slice of cake. Olives Restaurant sells cakes for p150 each with unlimited coffee, and because I wasn't able to try it the last time I was there, I took this chance to try it. <br /><br />It's a good thing that even if the resort is 5 star, they still allow outsiders like us to come in, although of course, we can't use some facilities - we can only eat the restaurant and go to the boardwalk. Still, entering is reason enough for us to go there over and over. I think every time we travel to La Union, we will try to visit the resort. <br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://www.colorsandcontrasts.com/"><img width="100" src="http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/mommyrubz/ww3.png" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://slenderellajenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-81481860245866585242011-10-31T19:56:00.004+08:002011-10-31T20:23:49.374+08:00Easy Pha-Max Wheatgrass DrinkAfter sharing the mango coffee cooler yesterday, let's go for something healthy. :) <br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6298084753/" title="Easy Pha-Max Wheatgrass by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6101/6298084753_a94f83ff45_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Easy Pha-Max Wheatgrass"></a></center><br />I was blessed to receive a lot of goodies from the Blogapalooza, and one of which was a goodie pack from Easy Pha-Max.

Wheatgrass has so many health benefits, but it's still difficult for me to include this in my daily food intake because I find it quite pricey. <br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://www.mygreenlivingideas.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr312/melandriaromero/greenmonday.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-1712688914831908552011-10-30T16:26:00.004+08:002011-10-30T16:54:18.415+08:00Mango Cheesecake Coffee CoolerI admire people who can keep up with multiple blogs and still have a "full" life to live. I definitely need some lessons on effective time management, but recalling this certain blog thingy wherein one takes the challenge to blog on all days of the month (gosh, I forgot what it's called***), I am trying to achieve just that, and in order to do that, I need to really devote a little of my time to each of my blogs so I can be successful. This challenge does not apply to my travel blog <a href="http://www.jennonthego.com">Jenn on the Go</a>, because editing pictures for that blog would eat my whole day. <br /><br />Anyway, on this blog, I post pictures of different colors per day, and since there is no specific color meme for Sunday, I will post my Mellow Yellow Monday posts every Sundays. <br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6293446561/" title="Mango Frap by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6220/6293446561_f516957695_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Mango Frap"></a></center><br />Today am sharing to you the <b>Mango Cheesecake Coffee Cooler</b>, which mom had when he had a food trip at <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/2011/06/cafe-city-1888-sm-fairview.html">Cafe City 1888 (SM City Fairview)</a>. It sure was interesting to combine mango with coffee, but since I am not a big fan of mango (I do eat mangoes, yes, but I can also live without it), I didn't really like it that much. Mom said the mango gave it an interesting twist, so I guess one should really like mangoes to appreciate this drink. Hahaha.<br /><br />It's been a while since we last ate there. While I don't really miss it, sister seeing me editing the pictures made her wish we would eat there on our next food trip as she wasn't around the time we went there (I was with mom and bro). Should this push through, I think I will just go for their light snacks and a cup of hot coffee.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><br />*** Edit (4:54pm) - the term am looking for was <a href="http://nablopomo.blogher.com/">NaBloPoMo</a>. <br /><br /><center><a href="http://mellowyellowmonday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="MellowYellowMondayBadge" src="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk196/drowseymonkey/MYM.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-30209249306149709362011-10-24T13:28:00.003+08:002011-10-24T13:52:43.821+08:00From Our Morning WalkMaking another two-in-one post, I always forget to post my MYM post on a Sunday.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6275431340/" title="Morning Dew by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6233/6275431340_aa66ecd05f_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Morning Dew"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6274904823/" title="Yellow Flower by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6226/6274904823_a06bcc533a_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Yellow Flower"></a></center><br />Sister and I went out Saturday morning to walk and jog. Since this was our day to be out and "be one with nature," I took my camera with me, so I can capture images that would take my interest.<br /><br />However, we saw rain clouds from afar, and it was actually raining at our would be destination. We had to cut our walk and take a different route, but we still was able to get in touch with nature, because of these pictures.<br /><br />I took this near the neighborhood's chapel. The yellow flower looked a bit like squash's but am not sure if it's the same plant as I still haven't seen a squash flower that looked like this (ones I saw had a little pointy petal tips).<br /><br />I sure hope this weekend the skies will be clear so sis and I can enjoy a much longer walk, and jog as well.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://mellowyellowmonday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="MellowYellowMondayBadge" src="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk196/drowseymonkey/MYM.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.mygreenlivingideas.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr312/melandriaromero/greenmonday.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-79024769340347711322011-10-20T20:55:00.002+08:002011-10-20T21:05:35.452+08:00Brown Snake<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6263603064/" title="Brown Snake by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6223/6263603064_607139fd41_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Brown Snake"></a></center><br />I just resized, watermarked, and uploaded pictures from Zoobic Safari on my Facebook account, and I just realized there were quite a lot of brown images there, so today, I share to you a picture of a brown snake. The Zoobic Safari had different attractions, and this was taken at the Serpentarium.<br /><br />No need to worry, though, the snakes were housed in different terrariums. Although, I'd say I had a difficult time taking pictures as the place was so dark and I can't turn on the flash as the light would bounce off. <br /><br />Still, it was a fun day out.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://vanity.gmirage.com/"><img src="http://gmirage.com/vanity/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/thursday-brownies.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.debduty.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g404/dkaym/thisorthat200.jpg" width="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-20783343422267819822011-10-19T13:44:00.002+08:002011-10-19T13:54:53.072+08:00ODM WatchHaven't updated this blog for a few days, I just got busy over many things, but here's an image for Wednesday Whites...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6259944016/" title="ODM Watch by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6154/6259944016_24b38fab2d_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="ODM Watch"></a></center><br />Yesterday, brother and I attended the Canon Pixma Event at SM City North Edsa.

No need to be sad, because my name was picked at the raffle, too, and I got to take home this cute digital ODM Watch. <br /><br />I still don't know how to set it. I am not a watch person, so I am not sure if I am going to use it or give it to any of my goddaughters for Christmas, but winning something sure made me happy. :)<br /><br />Oh... bro and I still get a chance to win a Canon Pixma printer, because they have an on-going contest for bloggers who attended the event. :)<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://www.colorsandcontrasts.com/"><img width="100" src="http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/mommyrubz/ww3.png" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://slenderellajenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-27982378358254038332011-10-06T14:13:00.002+08:002011-10-06T14:25:58.401+08:00Dried Flower<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6216601396/" title="Dried Flower by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6110/6216601396_f5b0d10ac8_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Dried Flower"></a></center><br />Yesterday, I had the pleasure of tasting Cha Dao's milk tea with my sister, my cousin Marge, and my blogger friend Daryll. After taking pictures of the place and our drinks... we were left with enough time to enjoy our drinks and catch up on life stories.<br /><br />We decided to take the table with big pillows, as it felt homey doing that. At the center of each tables were little accents, and our table had this little bowl, with dried flower and wood chips, probably from a bag of potpourri. The textures and the colors were just inviting that I snapped a picture and share it to you guys. :)<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://vanity.gmirage.com/"><img src="http://gmirage.com/vanity/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/thursday-brownies.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.debduty.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g404/dkaym/thisorthat200.jpg" width="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-82776195546708338522011-10-04T16:16:00.002+08:002011-10-04T16:23:19.121+08:00Lampara<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6210043747/" title="Lampara by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6038/6210043747_3415614f09_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Lampara"></a></center><br />I took this picture December last year, while dining at Bacolod Chicken Inasal.

That time, we have a lot of these chilis because sister and I wanted to cook the Dinamita Wraps. I decided to get a bunch of chilis, tie it and photograph it.<br /><br />I didn't use any background to take this picture; that time, I was still using my Canon Powershot A1000is, which allowed me to take great macro pictures with flash. To capture this, I simply set the exposure to -2, just to make everything dark, so when the flash fires, it will only illuminate the subject. Sadly, my new camera (Canon Powershot SX130is) can't take good macro pictures with flash, because its flash is located at the upper middle part of the camera, and the lens hinders the light to illuminate the subject. Whenever I try using my new camera, I'd always get this spot in the image - mainly because of the lens protruding.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://www.mygreenlivingideas.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr312/melandriaromero/greenmonday.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-36889145773375699572011-09-29T13:30:00.003+08:002011-09-29T14:01:18.306+08:00Higad<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6193855337/" title="Higad by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6156/6193855337_a250521565_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Higad"></a></center><br />The rainy season made snails infest in our garden that no matter how often I check the plants to take out the snails (some days it felt like picking berries). However, when I went outside of the house yesterday morning to see if any of our plants got knocked out because of typhoon Pedring, I was so surprised to see these caterpillars. Looking around, I realized there were so many of them. <br /><br />I don't know what's in our garden, but at this moment, with lots of snails and lots of caterpillars, for sure our garden is one big smorgasbord for them. <br /><br />Of course, I am not happy about that at all.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://vanity.gmirage.com/"><img src="http://gmirage.com/vanity/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/thursday-brownies.jpg" width="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.debduty.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g404/dkaym/thisorthat200.jpg" width="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-86816847365247951932011-09-28T16:11:00.004+08:002011-09-28T16:23:46.769+08:00Chocolate Blanco by Pan de ManilaYesterday was a "brrrr..." day for most of us, and even if storm Pedring has already left the country, there were still chills in the air, so let me share this:<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6191088693/" title="Chocolate Blanco by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6170/6191088693_b20fc8d9f4_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Chocolate Blanco"></a></center><br />A hot cup of Chocolate Blanco by Pan de Manila. The last time we visited their store to buy some bread, sister saw their rack of instant drink mix, and her getting a sachet of the chocolate drink mix gave me the desire to taste their coffee mix. Since there were only three drink mix, we decided to get one of each so we could taste it all.<br /><br />Sipping this one tasted like melted white Toblerone. It was sweet, creamy, and perfect for breakfast, or with some snacks... or simply for moments when one needs comfort - especially during rainy days.<br /><br />Hope you're all safe and sound.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://www.colorsandcontrasts.com/"><img width="100" src="http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l550/mommyrubz/ww3.png" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-74582460167760401732011-09-24T20:56:00.004+08:002011-09-24T21:23:27.871+08:00Made for Each OtherSaturdays are my lazy blog days. I am online everyday, but during weekends, I just find myself either watching videos or just browse all sorts of websites I can hop into. <br /><br />Today, I told myself I am going to blog, but right after doing the laundry, I just went in my room (which is more of a storage room than a bedroom because I abandoned it a few years ago - I sleep on the living room floor) and started cleaning it. It ate my entire afternoon, and because I feel quite tired, I was thinking of not blogging, but I decided to make this post just before I call it a day.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6177905660/" title="Pink / Lavender by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6179/6177905660_ee14e43cd0_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Pink / Lavender"></a></center><br />Whenever I go to the weekend market, I spend hours taking pictures of the flowers because our own garden doesn't have that much flowering plants. Since I don't get to visit the market that often, I do make sure my camera's memory card has enough space to save nearly a hundred pictures because I do take pictures of a particular flower over and over. <br /><br />Pink and lavender are my favorite colors. They just look so good together, and even this flower didn't look that fresh (too many dark speckles), just seeing a flower having two of my favorite colors was enough to make me take a picture of it.<br /><br />It's been month since I last went to the weekend market and I do miss it. I really should convince the girls (mom and sis) to go there soon.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://www.pinkthoughts.com/"><img src="http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww323/pink-thoughts/pink-fridays/pink-fridays.png" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.bloggingfrombolivia.com/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4105/4990658393_2486e5cf67_m.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.crazyoverpurple.info/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd166/bamiecutie/CrazyOverPurple.png" alt="Life and then Som" width="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://macroflower-saturday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Macro Flowers Saturday badge 2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGRqHVC1f70WsFGGEf6VOaFPFscwSI9c2DsBt4k1jBlH_Qg9Xm1EFh4o6qLnq1baFVL9O7Mi6l7k8RGE6GNdspO7BxAZs6IEvioqHLbXO7jaKhvNdB4GZxAND-5Pg1EeM87KPAnogPJ6yz/" width="100" height="68" /></a> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.simplylifephotographs.com" target="_blank"><img alt="Bluberry craft and hobby time" src="http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac254/crafthobbytime/flowersonSaturday.jpg" width="100" height="68" /></a> <a href="http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Today's Flowers" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/2772683546_2205535391_t.jpg" width="100" height="68" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-45759364629259421632011-09-22T14:11:00.002+08:002011-09-22T14:21:30.214+08:00Cadbury ChocolateGoing with an easy share this week on Thursday Brownies...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6171646382/" title="Cadbury Chocolate by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6172/6171646382_0a2a58ec3c_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Cadbury Chocolate" /></a></center><br />A picture of my sister's Cadbury Chocolate. Our late father had the sweet tooth, but because he would hoard all the chocolates a balikbayan friend or family member gave us, I somehow adjusted to live without chocolate. I do eat chocolate-flavored foods (cakes, ice cream, etc)... but the chocolate bars/candies were something I can live without.<div><br /></div><div>This big bar of chocolate was given by someone dear to my sister, and because she seemed to have inherited dad's hoarding ways when it comes to chocolates, this actually sat inside the fridge for so long before she decided to open it. As you can see, there were already traces of milk because one family member would take it out of the fridge hoping sister would share it, but sister would put it back in the fridge. Well, I didn't have any problem with that... I actually never gave this one a taste. :)<br /><div><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/photosig.png" style="border:none;" width="140" /><br /><center><a href="http://vanity.gmirage.com/"><img src="http://gmirage.com/vanity/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/thursday-brownies.jpg" width="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-90834496820698357182011-09-21T19:58:00.002+08:002011-09-21T20:08:21.978+08:00Sister in Greenbelt<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6169240654/" title="Sister in Greenbelt by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6158/6169240654_53cb7e152b_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Sister in Greenbelt" /></a></center><br />I just uploaded pictures from mom's birthday celebration last year, and doing so made me see this picture of my sister, which I took while the family were strolling around Greenbelt after a very sumptuous lunch at Mr. Jones.<div><br /></div><div>My sister isn't sexy sexy to many people's standards... she is actually a chubby young lady weighing 150+lbs (the time this was shot), but ever since I have always admired how my sister carried herself.

Since many wanted to get up close to the snake and had their pictures taken, we decided to leave the cage after we had our turn. Some of our companions still had to take their turn, and because there were other animals around, I went to take more pictures. The cage of this kind of bird (there were about 5 birds in the cage) was located somewhere people can't see at first glance, I just had to thank their yellow feathers that quickly caught my attention.<div><br /></div><div>This picture was pretty much SOOC, and I really loved how my point and shoot camera was able to create that depth of field even if I was shooting on "auto" mode (because I asked mom to take a picture of me near the snake). Actually, as long as there's enough source of light, this camera of mine can do wonders. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>By the way... I was pretty amazed, too, that even if the space between the chicken wires were quite small, zooming in on the bird made me eliminate the traces of wire. :)<br /><div><br /><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6160181131/" title="IMG_2468food by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6087/6160181131_67f5ed8376_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="IMG_2468food" /></a></center><br />For my Green Monday post, I share to you some stuff inside my loot bag when I attended the Blogapalooza at Bonifacio High Street last Saturday.

Too bad I wasn't able to attend it.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/signature.png" style="border:none;" /><br /><center><a href="http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEino3T8KZOgunsLGY5qbKdfg4KGBOY5BekUTx73_Wnn5POjeziBfIGm0oQv3uUjVyrhjS0QiErj3liTKH54VW5Rzo0458aQd9Ouc4NQrsuESj7r9zUOoO4t2MGKgsN7-1cFJUI9-QmtGxM/s200/ruby%252Bcopy.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101435620946593900.post-26251624615839553132011-09-05T15:01:00.003+08:002011-09-19T13:34:48.588+08:00The Chocolate Hills of Bohol<center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janujennifer/6114841865/" title="Chocolate Hills by janujennifer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6193/6114841865_b8a30e3a27_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Chocolate Hills" /></a></center><br />Normally, I'd pair my Green Monday post with Mellow Yellow Monday, and I would pair Red Hot Mondays and Ruby Tuesday with Orange Tuesdays, but when I took this picture, I knew I had to pair Green with Red. :)<div><br /></div><div>By the time we reached Chocolate Hills, my camera's battery was already about to die. It was a bad decision for me to go on a city tour with 25% battery juice and taking only 1 pair of spare batteries, which I still haven't tasted how long its power would take. Thankfully, my cell phone was fully charged by the start of the day, ensuring me that I could still take pictures to my heart's delight.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was able to take pictures of the hills, but some pictures - including this one, was taken using my cell phone. Taking the stairs to the peak, I saw this group of hills with reddish plant on the foreground, and thinking it looked cute, I stopped for a picture.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are so many legends as to how the hills were formed, but one thing's for sure: this nature's wonder is proudly Filipino! :)<br /><div><br /><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee496/sugarplumfairylyn/signature.png" style="border:none;" /><br /><center><a href="http://www.mygreenlivingideas.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr312/melandriaromero/greenmonday.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEino3T8KZOgunsLGY5qbKdfg4KGBOY5BekUTx73_Wnn5POjeziBfIGm0oQv3uUjVyrhjS0QiErj3liTKH54VW5Rzo0458aQd9Ouc4NQrsuESj7r9zUOoO4t2MGKgsN7-1cFJUI9-QmtGxM/s200/ruby%252Bcopy.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennonthego.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappyjenn.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://taraletseat.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3860795694_8bca25de9a_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://iamjanujennifer.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a> <a href="http://shutterhappenings.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3860012191_8dfc70f975_o.gif" width="23" /></a></center></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
