Zoe and I went to a birthday party. It was Jamaika's 7th birthday. Zoe is one of the 7 balloons. The theme was Frozen and the birthday celebrant was dressed as Elsa. When I was a child we don't really celebrate birthdays or have a cake because we don't have money for it. What I mean celebrate a birthday with a party but now not just the 18th birthday that has 18 roses, 18 candles and many others but the 7th birthday too. Zoe is 8 now. We didn't celebrate her 7th birthday…
The orchids was from the birthday party we attended yesterday. Before the party starts I took time to snap this beauties. There are other flowers but I can't go and take a photo because the area was muddy. It's a typical province place. I'm so sleepy and tired right now. I'll catch up tomorrow. Good night for now noisemates! #flowerdiaries @Mitochondria
Zoe and I were looking for a gift for her friend Jamaika for her 7th birthday. We bought some headbands, hair clips and a pink cute baby keychain. Zoe can't take her eyes on the cutie and ask me to buy her one. So we bought a purple one for her. She even made a little box to be her crib and put a little fabric to be the blanket. She named her cute baby Maye. She even spelled it to me. Hahaha
It's been raining here especially in the evening. When you thought summer is approaching and then the rain is coming instead. But it's okay I don't need to water the plants and they need it. But the thing is Yam-yam and I can't go out for a walk. I got a snap of my neighbor's orchid with a wasp I think. I tried to capture it as close up as I can but I'm afraid to get stung. Good evening everyone!
It's very gloomy outside. Wake up a little late and went to the garden to take some snap. This is my first time taking a photo of a spider in its web with rain drops. It's very hard especially without the right equipment. This is the best that my phone camera can captured. It's looks like just a raindrops. It can't show the web's form like how I can see it. I tried different angles and trying to avoid the plants in the background because it blends in and you can't see the…
Yesterday while it's still raining a little I went out to take some snap and from my previous shot of a spider and its web this flower is one of my many snaps. Look at its bud with raindrops and the flower. Love seeing them after the rain.
My mom's orchids. It has a fragrance like a perfume. My cousin said it is called "Ilang-ilang" in our dialect. It's one of my snap 3 days ago after the rain. I was just putting my solar lights outside to charge even it's gloomy. Then I saw the orchids with so many white flowers. So I grabbed my phone and take some photos and went around to see some interesting subjects to post online. Some I had posted yesterday and the other day.
It's #ThrowbackThursday again. I haven't posted a throwback for awhile. This was taken last 2017 if I calculated it correctly. It was the last vacation of my mom that she was able to came home with us and then she went on a vacation again to New Jersey in my sister's family last 2019 and they will come back home with my mom's ashes on this coming June if everything will go as planned. No more grandma for Zoe to hug when she will arrive. We missed you nanay. We will see you…
This was taken when it was raining here in my place. Some I have already posted here in noise. I think the flower can't hold the raindrops that's why it looks like that. It's heavy for its big petals because it catches more water. Good thing now as I woke up it is sunny outside.
I snap this three days ago. I woke up and it's sunny so I decided to take a photo on that yellow flower. I have to cover my eyes because the sun is in my front and it's so blinding. I thought it's gonna be sunny all day but around four in the afternoon it rained hard and it flooded the front yard and at the house side. It keeps going on until yesterday. I don't know if it's gonna be the same this afternoon. Good morning my dear friends! Let's keep on praying for peace!…
A neighbor of ours invited us to a have a dinner in their house because it's his birthday. It was just his family me and Zoe with my cousin's family. They always invited us to their house if there's a celebration even if it's just a simple one. Actually all our neighbors are like that. It's a Philippine thing. They know it's just me and Zoe in the house so they always invite us. Before we go home Zoe pointed this plant so I got my phone and snap.
It was the last day of the "pa siam" at our neighbor's house. It's a 9 day prayer for the soul of the decease after the burial. We prayed and had dinner then went home. While I was getting my solar lights I saw the moon and the sky before seven in the evening so I took a snap and I thought maybe I can still get a snap of the sunset. I went in our room at the second floor and here's my sunset and moon tonight. The moon was taken at our terrace in the front and the sunset in…
We arrived at the church early. Zoe and I attended a 9am mass and burial of my aunt. The wife of my mom's cousin. I cried after the mass as I saw my cousins crying watching over their mom's coffin as they bless her with the holy water. Not only that but I also remember my mom. I hope that my sister can bring her home this coming June. But I won't see her anymore because her remains was cremated. It's really sad to say goodbye to a love one.
We have those flowers a long time ago but I don't see it in our garden now. Those flowers belongs to my neighbor. The one who always invite us to their house if someone has a birthday just like now. Zoe said we are invited again to his daughter's birthday later this afternoon. It's just a simple snack or dinner again. We won't say no to a free meal. Hehehe...
Some of my mom's clothes and things arrived yesterday including her cellphone. There's no photos and update of her from the hospital before her operation and after that of course because she can't hold anything in her hands after she had stroke. Just the happy nanay we know in her photos but I have some of her videos and pictures in my phone until she passed away. Though I can't watched it I still don't want to erase it. It's a bad memories, still it's my mom's memories.🥺
Also came from the box that arrived with my mom's things. A book of some kind of drawings that needed to be colored. Zoe loves it and these are some of her finished works. I'm gonna sleep early today because I don't feel well. It feels that there's something in my throat. I think I'll be having a cough. I hope it won't happen. It's just that the weather this days is changing from sunny to rainy and rainy to sunny. Good night dear friends!
What's up noise friends?! It's very hot and humid in my place now that's why I'm not feeling well. I had a busy day washing clothes this morning and I finished around twelve noon. My throat is still itchy and I have a little headache. I'll catch up to you guys. Leaving you my sunset taken just now. Great evening from Philippines with love.
Hello my noise friends. I still don't feel good today. I'm sleepy but I can't sleep well because of my throat and runny nose. I well catch up to you guys. The weather here is so crazy. After a couple of days having a humid day this morning it rains again. I think because of our weather that's why I don't feel good. The sunset was taken yesterday. Good evening everyone!
A cloudy morning everyone. I hope the sun will shine today. We need to go to the town for some errands and I don't want to get wet in the rain because I'm still not well. Some things need to be fixed in the house and someone will come to get the job done. It's very difficult not to have a man in the house to do some fixing. As you know my cousin's husband died so we don't have anyone to call for a free fix. I need to hire someone to do it for us now. Have a good day…
This was taken last Friday at the school during the retrieval of Zoe's modules. I told her to pose and I will take her photo but she said she's shy. But in the end she did as she's told. Kids as they grow up they tend to become shy. When they were little if you say smile to take photos they will pose immediately. Now they're not fun to take photos with. They doesn't want to do it. Zoe will say "mommy, seriously?".
Why life is so hard and complicated? A couple of days ago my sister called me. She's having a problem reporting my mom's death to the Philippine Embassy. She told me they fill up form and replied by another form and another form. They're asking so much question including who's the relatives in the Philippines, who will be at the airport to claim her and they need a flight ticket. My sister told them that she's the one bringing her but there's no definite date yet. That she…
