•SUNDAY Vibes• 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐦𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮. (Philippians 1:3 NIV) Be a blessing. Deed of kindness no matter how little can enkindle a light of joy to one's heart. That's how we become a blessing to others. Have a blessed and joyful Sunday, friends and noisers. 💙 📸 My snapshot of the Coleus' tiny blooms.

•TEA O'clock With Choco Bars• Fri-tea afternoon chillin' out. The rain is on and off today. So I decided to prepare a cup of tea. This time I try this black tea which my sister-in-law sent me. I usually don't add sweetener to my tea, coffee, or even my milk. But then I have these choco bars from the package that I received just recently. Might be great to pair with my tea? Anyway, how's your Friday so far out there? I guess you start smiling right now because tomorrow is a…

•The Nymph Hopper• Just hopping by to say goodbye. I found this cute green guest resting on the Taro leaf early in the morning. I guess it was a grasshopper nymph because it has no wings yet like as adult. I managed to take some snaps before I tried to caress its back. But as soon as my finger touched its skin it catapulted into the air and gone. Although grasshoppers have wings and can actually fly their most unique characteristic is the large hind legs that help them jump…

"𝐓𝚘𝚍𝚊𝚢, 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚏𝚘𝚌𝚞𝚜 𝚘𝚗 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎! 𝓘 𝓪𝓶 𝓫𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓭." ⁻ᵁⁿᵏⁿᵒʷⁿ It's another Monday to start a new week. So we need to revitalize ourselves to meet our own battles ahead. Recalibrate your goals and plans of action. Let go of the baggages that pull you apart. And focus instead on the beauty of your being and your blessedness. Have a wonderful week ahead, friends and Noisers. 💙 📸 These tiny flowers of unknown grass that grows in the pot caught my attention. Truly,…

•PAS-TON• (Pasta Canton) No Pancit Canton noodles? No problem. We craved for pancit canton (Filipino version of stir fry noodles) but didn't have noodles available for the recipe. So I used the spaghettini pasta instead along with the usual ingredients of vegetables and meat. For the meat though, I found two packs of pork tocino from the freezer. Presto! The dish is ready. I finished a bowl of my prepared PAS-TON (I coined the word from pasta and canton), a simple yet…

•SUNDAY Vibes• 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐃, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭; 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬. (Psalm 9:1 NIV) We don't need to amass great fortunes to be happy. We simply have to be GRATEFUL for all that we have. That is HAPPINESS. It's time and again to hold back ourselves from the hustle and bustle of our daily cares. Give ourselves some moments to enrich our being with all the wonders of life that we should be thankful of. Enjoy a joyful and blessed Sunday,…

•Twilight Surprise• Good evening everyone. What's up? Been busy these past days and today we had a whole day power interruption. Whew! Anyway, this afterglow a while ago brought a joyful stillness to the exhausted soul. 📸 My twilight snaps at our backyard. The tangerine afterglow complimented the silhouette of the bare tree and the gray sky. #twilight #baretree #vrphotography©️

•The CREPE That Aren't CREEP• I was awed to see that our Costus Speciosus finally has bloomed. I almost missed the flowers for they were already in its closing stage. Somehow, their pinkish delicate blooms drenched from the all night long rain still looked stunning under the early gaze of sunrise. Happy to see the sun today. I hope it will last 'til afternoon. How are you, friends and Noisers? May you have a fruitful and a happy Wednesday. 💙 📸 My snaps of the cone-shaped…

•My Weather• Woke up to a misty morning. Glad to see the sun appeared momentarily perchance to say hello before the sky went gloomy again. So I took some snaps so quick to showcase my Tuesday morning post. Greeting you a happy Tuesday, friends and Noisers.

•4PM is TEA O'CLOCK• Indulging in this cool November afternoon with hot cup of Red Rose tea and some biscuits. All of these along with other stuff I just got from the package that arrived yesterday from my brother in Canada. So grateful for the thoughtfulness. This is such a great tasting tea. Do you like tea? Red or green? 📸 Some of my creative tea-time snaps. #teatime #tea #redrosetea #vrphotography©️

"GET BUSY LIVING OR GET BUSY DYING." - Andy Dufresne (The Shawshank Redemption) Got this line from one of my favorite movies which was starred by Tim Robbins. It's true. We only have two choices to consider when dealing with our day to day life: "Get busy living or get busy dying." I hope we choose the former no matter how life's circumstance would bring us into. Sometimes life seems so boring but don't dawdle on such idea that makes us more idle. Get on your feet to find…

•HOPE• Done with my Monday errands just before the rain poured down again. We are now in the wet season. So it's been raining for days here. Somehow seeing these radiant sunflowers in full bloom beneath the somber November sky brought me some comfort to hope for better days to come. Wishing you all an energy-filled week ahead. Hang on, friends and Noisers. Keep safe always. 💙 📸 Saw these sunflowers in the bank's garden this morning on my way to downtown. #mondayvibes…

•UNDAS 2021• All Souls' Day Today (November 2) we remember and pray for our beloved dead. "Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, And let your perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen." Our family do it simply by visiting the grave and offering prayers, flowers, and candles. We also give donations to a priest to celebrate the holy Mass for their (souls) repose in our behalf. However, many Filipinos offer some food for their dead. I think this practice was…

•November Rain• It's a rainy Monday on the 1st day of November. Just chillin' out listening to Guns N'Roses' "November Rain" which was released in 1992. Yeah. It's the second thing that comes to mind aside from All Saints Day that is celebrated today. Wanna hear this song? Here's the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE Anyway, I hope you're enjoying as well a good start of this month. Have a great day. 💙 📸 My snapshot of raindrops that hang upon the clothespin.…

May the Lord comfort you in all your sadness and give you peace in all your troubles. October is ending but we continue to triumph life at all cost. Be happy. Wish you wellbeing now and always. 💙 📸 My capture of a white butterfly resting peacefully on a Jasmine flower. I used #textonphoto app to lay down the scripture text.…

•Flowers, And More Flowers!• Hey guys! Are you ready for the All Souls Day? Went early to the flower market this morning to find what? Of course, flowers for the beloved dead. Lol. It's barely one week away 'til Nov. 2 yet tomorrow will be the last day to visit the local cemetery and it will be closed until Nov. 4 so much like the previous year. A simple bouquet costs two hundred fifty pesos (PhP250.00 ~ USD5.00). I thought it's so pricey so I started to bargain. I was…

This is enough reason to be filled with grateful joy. There is so much rain in here for days now. So I'm stuck in the comfort of my cave. Well, I hope you're enjoying your weekend, dear friends and Noisers. 💙 📸 I found our hibiscus in full bloom this morning when the rain subsided. I decided to take…

•LABONG• (Bamboo Shoots) I cooked another local dish -- Ginataang Labong (bamboo shoots in coconut milk). I added slices of beef sausages, shredded smoked fish, green peppers, and a dash of moringa leaves to enhance the flavor. The rest were spices and seasonings. Uhmm.. So appetizing in this rainy day. 📸 Some snaps to visualize your imagination. #localdish #Bicolfood #pinoyfood #food #myrecipe #vrphotography©️

Hello everyone. It was a great busy day for me. I'm enjoying these food while watching the late afternoon news. I have here Siopao (Filipino version of the Cantonese steamed bun called "cha siu bao") and Pancit Palabok (noodle dish with shrimp sauce, etc). What's up with you guys?

•ASUL: The Vegetarian Cat?• Hey! I tried to get the attention of this feline when I passed him by on my way to downtown. He was busy grazing on grass that he did not budge for a moment. "Is this cat a vegetarian?" I thought. I witnessed many times cats munching on grasses (even dogs). Then later I would see vomitus containing undigested food mixed with grass. I believed such myth that the main reason why cats eat grass was in order to throw up. So I made a little research.…

•TINUMOK Bicol• (Shrimp Mixture Wrapped in Taro Leaves) I'm done with all the errands this morning. Whew! What a day! Now it's time to enjoy my lunch. Again, I got here our traditional and local dish called "Tinumok" bought from a neighboring food seller. I only need a cup of rice, a couple of chilis, and a glass of water. Looks perfect under an overcast sky. Cool. Hello to everyone. Don't forget your lunch. 🍽 📸 Took some snaps before eating. #bicolcuisine #pinoyfood #food…

•Basking in the Sun• Hello there, friends and Noisers. Got so busy these past days. But was glad to learn new things from simple tasks like check transactions. Anyway, the weather has been calm but gloomy for days now. I remember what my Formator had taught me long time ago to look back for the things that you held dear and made you happy when you're low in spirits. That practice would perk up your mood and help you to carry on. So I decided to send you some colorful flower…
