Sister in Greenbelt

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.

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. I admire how she can dress up and go out wearing short shorts despite her frame.

I so want to be just like her. I always tell her once I get the same body frame as hers, we'd shop together because between the two of us my sister is more into fashion and other kikay stuff than I am.

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. :)

A Critter on a Bed of Petals

While at the Simply Butterflies butterfly sanctuary in Bohol, my companions were busy taking pictures of themselves, and since I don't ask any of them to take my pictures that often, I just roamed around to find photography subjects.

It was the pink flower that I saw first, but when I came near it, I was surprised to see this little fella sitting pretty on the petals. I am not really sure if this one's a beetle or something else, but it sure looks cute where it was. :)

Thai Products

I was editing pictures I took from the Weekend Market at Lung Center of the Philippines when I saw this image, and thought of sharing it for Thursday Brownies.


Aside from the stalls selling flowering plants, one that would always catch my attention whenever I go there was this stall that sells different products from Thailand. From small items like chopsticks and coin purses to the big house decorations... you'd find it here. Actually, walking through the weekend market and making a stop here felt like I was shopping in Thailand, that the very very first time that I went to this weekend market in 2008, I actually asked my brother to take a picture of me here (hahaha, feelinger-zee).

The weekend market is now located that an open area in Centris (Quezon Avenue cor.EDSA). This stall is still there, so if you want to buy some Thai products without having the need to travel overseas, you can just come here and shop. The weekend market is open every Sundays, 6am-2pm.

Fan Adorned With Flowers

Last Saturday, mom attended a wedding celebration, which I unfortunately wasn't able to attend because of a tummy ache. When she got home, she quickly showed me this fan, which was given to the female principal sponsors so that they would have something to use to cool themselves as weddings here in the Philippines oftentimes require people part of the entourage to wear gowns. Well, I guess weddings at every part of the world are like that, too. The white roses were starting to wilt already; I took this picture the day after the event.

The color motif of the event was red, and sister told me the whole celebration felt so magical. Too bad I wasn't able to attend it.
