Thirst Quenchers

It was last year when I first went to Sidcor Weekend Market after transferring sites. 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.

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.

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.

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...

...as well as take pictures.

Brush Time!

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. :)

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. Hahaha.

Easy Pha-Max Wheatgrass Drink

After sharing the mango coffee cooler yesterday, let's go for something healthy. :)


I was blessed to receive a lot of goodies from the Blogapalooza, and one of which was a goodie pack from Easy Pha-Max. It contained four kinds of powdered drink, and sister chose the original one.

Even if this was the basic of all drinks, it actually tasted okay for me. 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.

From Our Morning Walk

Making another two-in-one post, I always forget to post my MYM post on a Sunday.




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.

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.

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).

I sure hope this weekend the skies will be clear so sis and I can enjoy a much longer walk, and jog as well.

Finger Chilis

This picture was taken last year as my entry for another meme, which required participants to take a picture of "unity." 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.

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.

Yellow and Green

I was supposed to update this blog yesterday, but because the weather was cloudy and that it rained in the afternoon, internet has been a big pain in the bottoms. :) So... this means I'd post a two-in-one post for today.


This yellow/black bird was something I saw when we visited Bohol's biggest python. 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.

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. :)

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. :)

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. The loot bag had so much stuff in it, but I noticed I grouped a few green colored items close to each other, so before I placed the items back in the loot bag, I took this picture first.

Yeah, Christmas came early to me (and 149 other bloggers) this year. :)
