Nagawa ko na ang morning rituals every Thursday so ito nag breakfast na. I bought a sliced bread yesterday so I made a tuna sandwich. I also bought turmeric tea but this time I tried turmeric tea with guyabano because I didn't find the brand that I was using before. I tried a small pack only. Time to eat breakfast mga kaingay. Kailangan po kumain para may resistensya sa mga gawain for the day. Have a blessed day.

Gumamela or Hibiscus Sharing this huge gumamela flower or hibiscus. I found this flower 🌺 at the mini park of the Capitol Compound. This is a variety with large red flowers. I am so happy looking at this flower that I want to share my happiness with you my dear noisemates. Let's spread love and joy this 1st day of July. Have a joyful Thursday, July 1st.
Maayong buntag mga Bisaya. Ni pahuway ko kadiyot apan ang kamot nagharos ug naghagpat sa kamunggay aron maka luto ug utan para paniudto. Dia ko naglingkod sa landong ug pagka anindot sa huyuhoy sa hangin. Mga amiga ko nga sabaan, nag andam na ba mo unsa lutuon para paniudto? Dali na, mag hinay hinay na kita pag andam kay ang oras dali ra kaayo, taud2 udto na pod. Nagkalingaw pod ko dri ug sabasaba.
Sit and relax This chair is inviting us to slow down, relax, take some rest and breathe some fresh air. I would love to sit here and enjoy these beautiful flowers around in the middle of the busy streets around it. You will notice that just behind the fence are jeeps, cars and other motor vehicles plying around the city. I am thankful that this beautiful park was created to give some visitors a place to relax with good energy and vibes. Flowers are soothing to our eyes and…
Sino po naka try na ng ready made embutido by Winner? Masarap po seguro ito. Binigyan po kami ng aking kumadre ( mother-in-law ng anak ko) kahapon. I want to try this for our dinner. I can make embutido from ground pork but wala po ako mga ingredients. At least ito ay ready to eat na. Maybe need ko pa i.prito. Tingnan ko mamaya. Merienda time na pala. Kumuha lng po ako ng Sky Flakes crackers , ok na ang merienda.
Hapunan na po tayo. I cooked the Winner Embutido for dinner. In fairness, masarap po siya. I can taste the egg, red bell pepper, cheese and raisins. My children liked it too. This is our first time to taste this embutido and it passed our taste test. I also made this morning mango float or mango graham refrigerator cake. After our dinner we got 1 tub and finished it. It's so yummy. Here are photos of the embutido and the mango float. Enjoy your dinner noisemates. Good…
It's been a while since I've watched a movie on Netflix. I am watching a Korean movie Be With You starring Son Ye Jin. The movie's synopsis said that "it's about a woman who died. She left her husband and very young son. She made a promise to come back during the rainy season. Indeed she came back to life but has no recollection of her past. Their happy reunion was short lived because she had to go back before the end of rainy season. I will go watch my movie now. See you…
07022021 Waking up to a beautiful day is a great blessing and I thank God for this privilege. I was awakened by the birds singing and roosters crowing. Feeling as if I'm in the province , taking a vacation ( in my dreams for now due to our situation). I went out and saw cloudy skies and the leaves of the plants still drench with droplets of water from the rain at dawn. The gloomy day did not dampen my day because I found this cutie flower bloom again. Isn't she lovely? She…
I picked some blue ternate flowers from the garden and made some blue tea. Every time I made this tea, I'm always amazed by its color change when an acid like lemon is added. You will see the colors in the photo. Hot water infused with blue ternate flowers is dark blue but when lemon is added, the color changed to purple. As mentioned in my previous posts, "blue ternate has natural antioxidants which improves blood circulation and anti inflammatory properties." Among its…
Good noon noisemates. It's lunchtime. What are you having for lunch? I sautéed some veggies ( beans, squash and cabbage) and reheated our embutido and fried fish. I only took a photo of the embutido. I forgot to take picture of the sautéed vegies. Don't forget to eat your lunch my friends. Have a great day.
Merienda I prepared tuna and cheese sandwich for snacks. Meron pa po blue tea which I made in the morning , I will add some honey and ice to make a refreshing tea. What do you think? Solve na ba ang merienda? Kayo po, ano plan po ninyo?( Snacks time po muna.
Bracts of Ashanti Blood I was attracted to this flower and took a snap. I searched for its name and saw "Mussaenda erythrophylla" or Ashanti blood. I found this unique and the flowers above are cute. As I was searching for its name I came upon the word "Bract". It appears that the big red "petal' is a bract. According to the dictionary, "Bracts are modified leaves with a flower or flower clusters on its axil. Bracts are sometimes larger and more brightly colored than the…
Ako po ay naghahanda ng hapunan at nag pan fry ng chicken strips. Dumating naman ang order ng anak ko na PadThai noodles from Street8. Our first time to try this Pad Thai platter. Runner up daw ito sa Best Pad Thai judges choice of Sunstar Best of Cebu 2020. Upon seeing the big tray, I said wow this could feed a lot of people. Pa advance Happy birthday ( July3rd birthday niya) sa bayaw ko na nasa Cali. Kain po tayo.

Sharing this pink gumamela flower or hibiscus. It has its own beauty and attractiveness. We normally see the red gumamela but this time I will show you a light pink variety. This plant was one of the plants in the mini park which I visited . It has a unique beauty of its own. Just like everyone of us. There are people who are well known , beautiful and you can see them more often because they are everywhere like billboards, movies, tv, social media or the like. There are…
Good night my friends. It's time to rest and sleep now. Thank you for your company, and interacting with each other. It made my day interesting and challenging. Dear Lord , I thank you for today and tomorrow. Thank you for Your protection. Thank you for Your mercy and compassion. Thank you for Your Love and understanding. I trust that You are always there for me, my family and friends. Good night.
Good morning Pilipinas. It's a cool cloudy morning. Hindi pa po lumabas ang Haring Araw. Maaga po nagising at nagpapasalamat sa biyaya na bigay ng Maykapal. Thank you Lord for a new life full of hopes and possibilities. Ang sarap pa matulog ulit kasi maginaw ginaw pa ang umaga. Sabado na naman at araw ng pahinga ng karamihan sa atin. Ang ganda ng hugot ni Admin "Matutong magpahinga kapag pagod na. Hindi yung bibitaw kaagad dahil lang sa bigat ng problemang pinapasan." Hindi…
Food Photography (Puto Maya) This is a typical Cebuano breakfast, puto maya or sticky rice, sekwate or hot chocolate and ripe mango. I bought the puto maya from a vendor who passes by early morning. I made the hot choco from pure Tableyas we bought in Argao , Cebu. The ripe mango is very sweet . Whenever I eat this breakfast, I am always reminded of my childhood. Eating puto maya or sticky rice is not an everyday privilege. We seldom eat this food because we don't normally…
Lemongrass I tried planting again some lemongrass stalks a few weeks ago and now it's showing longer leaves. It could be a sign of a long lasting life. I added more soil to the pot to fill it up. Sharing the photos of the lemongrass which was newly planted and it's growth now. Lemongrass is very useful in everyday cooking. It makes our food more delicious and nutritious. It started to rain so I'll stop gardening. See you later my friends.
Lunchtime Good afternoon noisemates. Have you eaten lunch already? We're done eating earlier. We ate the reheated Pad Thai left from last nights dinner. I added some chicken meatballs ( ready to cook and eat). I also had a fried fish so I finished eating it. We still have some puto maya left from our almusal so we had it for dessert. I made more sekwate or hot chocolate because the girls requested for more. We sliced 2 mangoes to go with it. It was fun eating with the…
Nagyaya ang aking anak na mag shabu shabu daw kami. Si bunso kasi may meet up with college friends kaya sabay na rin kami sa kanila. Punta rin sila ng shabu shabu. Ok naman po ako para makapasyal din at maka relax. First time ko yata pumuta ng shabu shabu. It's good to explore and experience new things despite our age. I don't have expectations so mag enjoy lng po ako while there. We just have to be open minded to enjoy the world. See you later my friends.
Shabu Shabu This is my first time experience to eat at a solely Shabu Shabu restaurant. According to Google, Shabu Shabu is a "hotpot dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boiled in water and served with dipping sauces". We were served with a big pot of broth inside. The waiter turned on the burner to heat up the broth in the pot. The vegetables, meat and other ingredients were brought in. Once the broth boiled we dipped in the vegetables and other ingredients to be…
Jiufen Visited Jiufen in Taiwan last April 2019. Jiufen is a former gold mining town found in the north eastern coast of Taiwan. Now it is a district with narrow streets where it is famous to explore Jiufen Old Street. You can also see fascinating views of the mountains and the sea. We were strolling along cobbled streets and visited interesting historical destination with a unique teahouse culture. There were several food stalls offering different delicacies and…
I'm sleepy now and will take some rest. Thank you Lord for a very productive Saturday. Thank you for Your mercy, compassion and love. I pray that we will sleep peacefully tonight and wake up rested. Have sweet dreams and stay positive. Always think of good things in life. Stay happy and healthy. Good night. Here's some white flowers. My own content and own photo.
Look at the cloudy sky in the morning! Mr. Sun is up just behind those clouds. It will surely bring sunshine to us all! As I wake up to the chirping sounds of the birds 🐦 , crowing roosters 🐓 , cats 🐱 purring and dogs 🐕 barking, let me thank the Lord for a new life full of hope and opportunities to explore and enjoy. Thank you Lord for good health, provisions, safety and abundance that You gave me, my family and friends. Thank you for Your kindness, mercy and compassion.…
Good morning noisemates. A blessed Sunday to you my friends. I just finished my laundry and thankful that the sun is already shining brightly. I am now eating my oatmeal with milk for my breakfast. How about you my friends? Have you eaten your breakfast already? Please don't skip your meal. It's very important to eat something to nourish our bodies. I have not yet stayed under the sun because I was washing my clothes and it appeared just now. Maybe after my breakfast I can…
I am currently watching a live feed of the renewal of wedding vows of my sister-in-law , 26th year. This is covered by my daughter who stayed with them for a few years . The photo is a screenshot of the place where the ceremony is held. Today is also the 76th birthday of her husband.
We are also celebrating the 26th wedding anniversary of my sis-in -law and the 76th birthday of her husband here in the Philippines while they are celebrating it at Napa Valley California. We are watching a live streaming of their event via Facebook live. While they are having dinner we are also having our lunch here. We are so happy for both of them.
Celebrating 102 years of happiness. I'm back home from the party and disinfected myself by taking a bath after attending a celebration of life and happiness of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law for their 26th wedding anniversary. We celebrated in an open area and the food were stationed inside the family chapel. Tables and chairs were placed around under the trees or along the family private road. Guests were all families and relatives. Reflecting on this celebration, it…
Lechon Ang ulam po namin sa hapunan ay pan fried lechon. I asked some Lechon from the party. And dami po sobra na pagkain pero umuwi po kami ng maaga kasi not feeling well ang partner ng anak ko. So nagpaalam po ako kay mother-in-law at kay sister-in-law na magdala po ako ng Lechon. So ayun kumuha po ako ng mga laman sa pata at sinamahan ko rin ng mga "lamas" or spices like spring onions. I sliced the lechon meat thinly and pan fried a little crispier and I added some soy…
White Flower on white post I saw these beautiful white flowers climbing on the white post when I visited a resort owned by my friend years ago. I was scanning my gallery and saw this photo now so I am sharing it here. I don't know the name of this flower but it sure is a beauty. I have always love white flowers coz it symbolizes purity and innocence. White shows simplicity.
Happy Monday Another beautiful day to be grateful with. Thank you Lord for letting me experience a new life to live with new hope and possibilities. Thank you for your goodness and mercy.

I pray for all of us that we may face the day with a big smile and a joyful grateful heart. Let's keep a positive mind and think of good…
I had some light breakfast today of tuna cheese sandwich and coffee. I added some lettuce leaves for more fiber. How about you my friends, what's for breakfast? Hope you had eaten already. Don't forget to feed yourself before continuing with more work. It's very important to nourish our bodies to give us strength and energy. Have a pleasant day.
My little pink flower Another blessing from this little purple plant which gives me some cutie pinkish bloom in the morning. Today I found 2 cutie flowers, one on top and another below it on another stem. Isn't she beautiful? I am always amazed with this tiny one. I took this photo at 9:00 in the morning, and by noon time it starts to close and forms a tiny pinkish ball ( you will see on the right of the flower that there is a tiny speck, that's yesterday's flower already…
It's lunchtime here. I'm done with cooking my vegetables and sliced hungarian sausage. I also heated some Lechon in the oven toaster . I sautéed some vegetables found in our vegetable bin like beans, cabbage , cucumber and squash. I added salt , pepper and a little beef cubes to add flavor. Kain po tayo mga kaingay.
Wedding bouquet This is a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Why is this bouquet in the midst of the barrels of wine? This is the bouquet of the bride who celebrated 26 blessed years of marriage last July 3rd at V. Sattui Winery , Napa Valley, California. The bride is my sister-in-law and their dinner was held at the Barrel Room of the winery. That's why we see this bouquet resting on the barrel of wine. Photo was taken by my daughter who attended the memorable occasion. A…
Merienda I was not able to take a nap because I was on the phone talking with my younger sister. I also went to the garden to plant some seeds of okra, bell pepper and ampalaya on vacant pots When it was time for snacks , they called me and I saw this KK donuts on the table. I made my turmeric tea and got 1 pc of donut for snacks. Thank you mga anak sa pa merienda. Nakapag merienda na po ba kayo mga kaingay?
Sinigang na Lechon Ang lakas po ng ulan ngayon dito. Biglang buhos po ang ulan. Handa na po ba ang hapunan natin mga kaingay? Si bunso ang nagluto ngayon kasi gusto niya magluto ng sinigang na Lechon. Nag harvest ako ng kaunting kangkong leaves para may gulay . Ayun , ready na daw po at pwede na kumain ng hapunan. Halina po kayo , kain po tayo. Tamang tama po ang luto na sinigang na Lechon sa maulan na gabi.
July 4th Fireworks My daughter is now in San Francisco, California celebrating the 4th of July Independence together with her auntie and uncle . She showed to us a video of the fireworks displayed on Sunday night California time. The weather was cold, windy and foggy. Despite the fog, they still enjoyed watching the fireworks and I was so happy to see her video too. It's as if I was also watching there but I'm just here in my room and it's not cold. I had experienced July…
Oras na po para magpahinga. Maraming salamat Panginoon sa iyong pag gabay sa amin sa araw na ito. Salamat po sa mga biyaya na natanggap sa araw araw. Salamat din po sa mga kaibigan ko dito sa noise na palagi po sumusuporta at nakikipag interact po sa comments section. Matulog po tayo na mahimbing at mapayapa. Magdasal po lage bago matulog.

"Every gising is a blessing." Salamat Panginoon sa bagong buhay na binigay mo sa akin. I believe that You are a God of surprises. Please surprise me today my Lord, let me be open to whatever is Your will. I know that You do things different from what I want. Give me the wisdom to see the little things that I take for granted which are Your instruments to make life more meaningful. You are an amazing God. Let me experience the joy of Your surprises. Good morning. Sharing my…
Morning glories As I was going around my little garden, these beauties welcomed me. I want to share it with you guys. Flowers in bloom give us inspiration and lighten our heavy load. Whenever I get bored or tired I just look around and watch the swaying of the leaves and flowers or their visitors like 🦋 , bees 🐝 , birds 🐦 or spiders. Sometimes we just need to pause and admire the nature around us to feel our importance in this life. Have a joyful morning.
July 6, 2019 Balinsasayaw Resort Coron Two years ago today, I was at this impressively splendid island resort in Coron, Palawan. At this resort , you'll have breathtaking scenery, easily accessible and restful cabanas, native hammocks, fresh and delicious foods and courteous and helpful staff. The place is so serene and has a relaxing ambiance, very fitting for travelers like me and my siblings. They have a big infinity pool where we stayed most of the time. They have…
Good afternoon my dear friends. It's merienda time. Have you eaten your snacks? What did you have for snacks? I just finished my merienda , SkyFlakes with some pork and beans which I did not finish eating this morning. I feel good now. I went out to check my bunso's laundry hanged outside to dry. Since it is a gloomy afternoon, I brought her clothes in the shade coz it might rain. Better safe than sorry. It's still early to cook dinner so I'll watch Hospital Playlist Season…
Dinner I was concentrating watching my Kdrama series earlier when my eldest daughter informed us that they are ordering food for dinner. What a good timing so that I will not cook anymore. These are the food they ordered. Sweet spicy fried chicken and burger steak from Jollibee. Kain po tayo.
Mag dessert muna tayo, 2 scoops of cookies and cream ice cream. So yummy! Salamat po sa libreng food today! Salamat Lord sa bigay mo na grasya. Kain po.
Fresh catch of the day. I saw this photo in my old cellphone gallery taken 2 years ago. Can you see the freshly caught lapulapu fish? They were the "fresh catch of the day." The fishermen brought his fresh fish lapulapu to the resort where we were staying while on vacation . We wanted to buy the fish but he refused. I then saw him went to the resort kitchen. That night, we ordered sweet and sour lapulapu for dinner and noticed that the fish served was similar in size to the…
I want to end my day looking at beautiful photos of views , nature and flowers. Tonight I will share with you this beautiful flower which I snapped this morning at my garden. Every morning, many butterflies would visit these flowers and gather nectar. It's very attractive to the butterflies. Looking at these flowers relaxes us and gives us inspiration to go on with life. It makes us feel that life's problems will always be there. We just have to trust in the Almighty and He…
Good morning noisemates. It's breakfast time. I was craving for dried pusit, dried fish and egg omelette. I cooked some rice and started frying the dried pusit until it's crunchy. I also fried 2 pcs dried fish which I washed and soaked in water to remove extra salt. I added tomato, green onions , pepper, dried malunggay leaves and mozzarella cheese to my egg omelette. My bunso sliced the cheese and added more because she loves cheese. My two daughters joined me eating…
Spaghettini with tuna aglio e olio Magandang tanghali Pilipinas. Yung iba sa atin baka tapos na kumain ng tanghalian. Yung iba naman kumakain na po. Come let's eat. Nagluto po ang aking bunso ng spaghettini with tuna aglio e olio. Ito po ang aming pagkain sa tanghalian ngayon. Simple lunch po. Ito po ang aking plato, nilagyan ko po ng cheese. Kain po tayo.
Drainage problem solved! We had problem with our drainage system from the laundry area to the sewer. Bumabara at mahina ang pag labas ng wastewater sa drainage. After lunch, I requested my bunso to help me open the man hole covering the sewers. I need a strong hand. Nahihirapan po kami kasi wala mga gamit. Mabuti may tubo na ginagamit ko sa garden para pang butas ng lupa, we call it "bara", yun po ang ginamit ni bunso para ma move ang takip ng cement manhole. Meron din kami…
I am always amazed with this cutie pink flower in my garden. This morning I found a new flower and took a shot. After we have solved our drainage problem in the afternoon, I went to the front yard to throw some garbage inside the sack and I passed by the little cutie pink flower and noticed it has already closed. I took a photo again to show you. I am happy to share nature's best which we always neglect or take for granted.
Dinner Good evening. It's dinner time . Kain po tayo. Sino po hindi pa nakakain? Sabay na po tayo. I have paksiw na lechon for dinner. I also reheated the extra food last night ( sweet chili chicken and burger steak). These will be enough for all of us. Halina po kayo at kumain na.
Pepper My pepper plant has been planted last year. It's an old plant but it still gives flowers and fruits. This morning, I happened to notice these white flowers of my pepper plant. I hope it will become fruit again even though it's getting smaller, but still it's pepper and I can use it. Have a great night my friends.
Hammock We're done with dinner and keeping our kitchen. Now it's time to relax. I missed relaxing in a hammock under the shade of the trees. I only imagined that I am swinging with my eyes closed and listening to music. It's always a nice feeling listening to soft music. It relaxes our bodies and makes us think of good and positive vibes. What do you do to relax yourself? We have our own styles of relaxation that suits our lifestyle. Have a great and relaxed evening.
KDrama time Now watching Hospital Playlist Episode 4. This medical Kdrama is one of the best that I have seen on Netflix. I like the chemistry and friendship between the five doctors and the stories of their professional lives and expertise. The first three episodes were worth watching and I couldn't stop from Ep 1 until I'm done with Ep 3. Here's the screenshots of the Netflix post on Hospital Playlist Season 2.
Good morning sunshine. Good morning World. It's a beautiful sunny day and I thank our Lord for a new life full of hopes and positivity. Let's welcome Thursday with a big Smile on our faces radiating an aura of peace, abundance and stability. Look at the bright side of life. Every day is a new beginning. Let's inspire one another and be a blessing to each other.
Puto Maya Magandang umaga Pilipinas. Dumaan na naman ang naglalako ng Puto maya. Pagkalabas ko ng bahay lumampas na po siya kasi naka motor. Mabuti nakita po ako ng pinsan namin na nag walking at sabi niya sa akin na iikot lng daw ulit ang magpuputo. Yun nga ilang sandali lng at nandyan na po sumisigaw ng "Puto ". Nahabol pala siya ng aming pinsan at sinabihan na umikot ulit kasi may bibili. Ito po ang aking almusal ngayong umaga. Puto, sekwate at matamis na mangga. Binigyan…
Garden visitor. I have a garden visitor today. It was flitting around the pink flowers then to the other plants and back to the flowers . What a lovely sight to see! I slowly came nearer to get a snap of this lovely visitor but it is moving swiftly. This was the best shot I could get while it stopped for a second on this pink flowers. Butterflies are very helpful in the garden. They help in pollination. Butterflies were also released after weddings, to symbolize love and…
Grabe ang init ng araw ngayon. Naalala ko ang bakasyon namin 2 years ago, ang sarap maligo sa dagat. Sana po matapos na ang pandemic para makapasyal na po tayo freely na walang pangamba. Ito po ang solo picture na kinuha ng kapatid ko habang ako ay naglalakad sa dalampasigan. Nakaready na rin po ako mag swimming. Yung isang picture, ako na po ang kumuha gusto ko kasi may remembrance sa aking mga nakikita habang nagbabakasyon. Ang sarap maligo sa dagat dyan, very clear and…
Kwentong SkyFlakes Kaninang umaga, may binatilyo po na kumatok sa gate at timing nasa labas po ako at inaayos ang mga sinampay ng aking anak. Humihingi po siya ng lumang tinapay para kakainin kasi gutom daw po siya. Sinabi ko sa kanya na wala po ako tinapay na luma pero meron po ako biscuit. Narinig po ng aking anak na inalok ko ng biscuit ang binatilyo kaya kumuha siya agad SkyFlakes. I gave him 3 packs. When I gave the biscuits to the boy, he asked me if I know of anyone…
Good evening my friends. In my last post 3 hours ago, I was wondering why my photo did not show in my post. Now I learned that there is a problem that photos are not showing. Hope they can resolve the problem soonest. Anyway, we'll try posting without pictures. We ate our dinner at 6:30pm tonight. I fried some chicken tocino and fish. I also reheated the vegetable soup I made during lunch. Hope everyone has eaten dinner because it's getting late. I will be sleeping early…
Bougainvilleas I woke up early , said my morning prayers and scanned my photos and visited noise. I saw some photos are appearing again here at noisecash so I will share a photo of the light pink bougainvilleas I snapped when I visited the mini park. It's full of flowers and full of life. May these flowers give us an inspiration on this lovely day. Thank you for allowing us to share again our photos. Good morning.
Today is the schedule for my 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine. I am praying that ever will go okay.
I am done with my 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine. I went to the vaccination center at 8am and finished a few minutes past 9am. That was a fast process even though there were lots of people coming for their 2nd dose. We still went through the process of validation,screening, consultation, vaccination, encoding and 2 levels of post vaccination monitoring. Thank God, everything went well. I am very thankful to the City government for facilitating the vaccination by fielding many…
Pagkatapos po ng aking 2nd dose na vaccine this morning , pumunta kami sa tapat na mall at kumain ng late breakfast ang anak ko at hubby niya. Ako ay kumain ng snacks kasi maaga po ako nag breakfast. Binilhan ko rin si bunso ng sandwich for her breakfast. Sa Jollibee po kami kumain at meron pala 10%discount yung may vaccination card. Naka avail ng 10% discount ang mag asawa. Ako naman , ginamit ko ang aking senior citizen privilege na 20% discount. Hindi kasi pwede ang…
My resting time is extended when my eldest daughter suggested that she will just order dinner food to celebrate her younger sister's birthday ( my second daughter next to her.). Yehey. That's a good idea because we just had our vaccination and we need some more rest. She didn't tell us what food she's ordering. For me, i can eat anything as long as not very spicy. I am happy with my daughter's gesture, her being the eldest and thinking about her siblings. My second daughter…
Japanese night My daughter's order for dinner arrived earlier and it was from Tokyo Tokyo. It's her treat for her sibling's birthday. We have Japanese food for tonight. Let's eat my friends. We have chicken karaagi, beef misono, prawn tempura, and Tokyo wings. We had a video call with the birthday girl and she is so happy that we are celebrating for her birthday.
I'm getting sleepy. It's still very early but my eyes wants to close. Is this the effect of the vaccine to rest early? Ok, before sleeping, let me first give thanks to our Heavenly Father for taking good care of me, my family and friends. Thank You for allowing me to finish my 2nd dose smoothly and with just a tolerable soreness in the injected area. Thank You Lord for the simple celebration for my daughter's birthday. Thank you to my friends who are always there supporting,…
Sunshine, where are you? It's a rainy gloomy cool morning and the sounds of the roosters awakened me. Good morning my noisy friends . Good morning sunshine, where are you? Praying for a good weather as the day progresses. Thank You Lord for waking me up to enjoy another day in my life full of hopes and to face more opportunities and challenges. Thank you for my very good sleep last night. Thank you Lord for giving me the strength, good health and energy. Please forgive me…
Cold compress Following the doctor's instructions during Counseling before vaccination, I am preparing the cold compress bag and ice to relieve soreness of my arm. . I can feel some relief after placing cold compress last night. I will apply again this morning. I understand that putting something cold in the affected area, reduces blood flow and it minimize swelling and pain. A 10 to 15 minutes of cold compress is enough for short-term pain. It's not advisable to overdo it.…
Hello Sunshine I felt comfortable with my arms after applying cold compress. I washed a few pieces of my dirty clothes to exercise my arms. It felt good already. When I hanged my washed clothes, the sun is shining very brightly so I took some photos. It was so glaring and I had difficulty getting my focus. I'm happy that the sun is finally out. Have a great day my friends.
Baked chicken wings Early lunch po kami kasi hindi po nag almusal ang aking mga kasama sa bahay. My youngest daughter baked the extra wings we had last night. These were the chicken wings that my eldest daughter ordered from Tokyo Tokyo. She ordered 2 boxes and we finished only 1 box. I only got a photo of 2 pieces left because they were so hungry and got their share immediately. It tasted better now that it was baked. Come my friends let's have lunch.
It's siesta time but I didn't take a nap. I was talking to my elder sister updating each other. I am glad she is doing well and busy attending to some health issues. Praying that everything will be fine . I am also preparing to go out. My eldest daughter want to celebrate her birthday a day earlier so we will eat out at a resto of her choice. I just go where they want to go and eat. See you later my friends.
Tugas We passed by my in-laws place because my daughter picked up something from her auntie. I took a snap of the trees around their house. These trees have grown there for quite some time. It's called "tugas" and it has flowers. This tree has given shade to the families around it. When I search for the English name in Google, it said that this is molave. Tugas is known to be a hard wood and older folks used it as post for their houses. Here's some photos. My own content and…
Food trip As an advanced birthday celebration for my eldest daughter , we ate Ramen at Yushoken located at Oakridge Business Park. We had to wait for some time for a free table because they were very strict with social distancing. The ramen was worth our waiting. It's so good. I ordered Shoyu ,it has a soy sauce based broth , so flavorful and rich. I added Aji tamago (half boiled egg). We also ordered gyoza. The food was super delicious.I was so full. Our food trip continued…
We had a fun and great day with the birthday girl, my Achi Mif. The birthdays of my 1st and 2nd daughters are just a day apart. July 9th for my 2nd daughter and July 11 for my 1st born. When they were little girls we usually celebrate their birthdays together to save from expenses. We celebrated in advance Achi Mif's birthday so that she can do other plans tomorrow. The place we went earlier is a nice place. I remembered that area has a venue where wedding receptions are…

Euphorbia These are some of the euphorbias left in my collection. I had them placed in the terrace but I can seldom visit them anymore. They survived naturally and even bear some flowers. Euphorbias are easy to grow plants. They are tough perennial plants, as what I have experienced and observed. Its flowers are enclosed with bright bracts of red or yellow which are sticky, showy and last longer. We should be attentive to its long spines which could possibly prick us. Enjoy…
Tenshi and Ginger I am so amused watching my doggie 🐶 Tenshi and alley cat🐱 Ginger. Whenever I let Tenshi out of his cage to run around and pee , he would look for alley cat Ginger. They have gotten used to their presence. Tenshi loves to tease Ginger but Ginger does not mind him. Sometimes Ginger would hide behind the plants so that Tenshi won't bother him. After their short play, Ginger went to sleep and Tenshi went back to his cage to sleep too. It's fun to have some pets…
Blooming Sanseveria Have you seen a snake plant with flowers in bloom? The snake plant located outside of our gate has been blooming. Snake plant or Sanseveria also known as Mother-in-law tongue grows well indoors or outdoors with little maintenance. It helps filter the air indoors to keep us safe from air pollutants. Aside from CO2, it also absorbs pollutants that can cause cancer like: benzene, formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene. These pollutants can cause harm to our…
Sun power At 3:44pm today I took a snap of the sky I saw in my backyard. The sun is full of energy shining brightly. It's a beautiful sight to see the clear blue sky and white formed clouds. I had a hard time looking at the sun because it's so bright, glaring and big. How is the sun showing at your end my friends? Is it full if energy like what we have here ? Enjoy your Sunday afternoon.
Merienda Mga kaingay, merienda po tayo. Let's try this Low Cal Salad wrap, binili po ng daughter ko. It's a light snacks with more vegies and some chicken. It's my first time to try this kind of food and it's good. It's very light but filling to my tummy. Kain po tayo.
Dinner is ready. Nakapagluto na po ako ng ulam for dinner, sotanghon soup. I added a boiled egg, . Hope ok na sa mga anak ko ang sotanghon. I want to eat light tonight. Yung sahog ko sa sotanghon ay chicken. Meron pa kasi extra chicken inasal so kumuha lng ako ng kaunti para pang sahog. Kayo po ba nakahanda na for dinner? Mamaya pa po kami kakain, hintayin ko pa ang daughter ko at son-in -law.
Dessert Katatapos lng po maghapunan. Thank You Lord for the food that we ate tonight. We have our dessert which is burnt cheesecake. It's the favorite of the birthday girl. It's so good, yummy and creamy. I finished my share quite fast. Thanks Lord, I'm super busog.
Pepper This afternoon, I went upstairs to get something. Pepper was there too. When I was done, I told Pepper to come down with me. True enough, Pepper came down with me. Pepper walked so fast so I called her to wait for me coz my knee was painful. She did listen and waited as seen in the photo. Pepper is such a smart and lovable cat. She understands when she is called. She responds too when you call her name, very smart. I wish all pets behave like Pepper. Good evening.
Snake plant in full bloom. I went out of our gate for a very short moment just to check the snake plant blooms. Wow, the flowers have fully opened and I did smell its fragrance in the air. I'm lucky because there was a bright light from the lamp post so I took a snap of the snake plant flowers. Isn't she lovely?
This afternoon, I went inside my daughter's room and when I looked out of the window I saw the sun about to set. There were many obstructions to my sight but I just took a photo. This is how it looks like. I have always loved sunset 🌅 photos. Whenever I go out of town or go to the beach, I see to it that I have a sunset photo. This photo is just almost sunset . Have a good night. Remember always to say your gratitude prayers before sleeping. God bless us all.
Good mornight my dear friends. I woke up early and checked out here. Anyone still awake or just awakened? Hope you're having a good time. I had a good night sleep but woke up to use the bath room. I'll listen to some music and go back to sleep. Sharing some white flowers to brighten your day. This is my neighbor's flowering plant. It's a tall plant and the flowers were on top. I loved the white flowers.
Happy Monday my friends. Thank you Lord for waking me up to this bright sunny morning. Thank you for giving me another chance to live a life according to Your will. As I went out of the room, I immediately did my regular Monday routine. I collected all the trash to be put out for the government garbage collection and disposal. I also placed the laundry under the sunshine to completely dry up and get natural sterilization from the sun I also did my sun bathing, enjoying the…

I'm so happy with lunch and dessert today. How about you my friends , have you eaten lunch? Please don't skip eating your lunch so that you will have more energy to last for the day.
Moringa Are you familiar with moringa tree or commonly known as malunggay? Others call it horseradish tree, drumstick tree, ben oil tree or miracle tree. This is my malunggay tree and it's full of flowers. It easily grows here in our country by planting it's cutting or seeds. It has a lot of uses ...from its leaves, flowers , pods or seeds. We usually use the leaves in cooking malunggay soup or adding it to breads like pan de sal. I also add dried malunggay leaves whenever I…
When I went to Oakridge Business Park last Saturday, I saw this beautiful orange flower near their park while I was strolling. I don't know what's the name of the flower but it is beautiful and unique. I was attracted to it so I took a snap. Do you know this flower? Flowers in whatever color or form always give an aura of joy. That's how I felt when I had a glance at this flower. It made me happy looking at it and taking its photo. I hope I can radiate the joyful feeling I…
The Upside A friend here in Noisecash @Godlike78 suggested a movie "The Upside" which is a true to life story. I will watch this movie now. It's a story about a wealthy man who is paralyzed on both arms and legs. He was looking for a caregiver who can help him in his daily life. He chose to hire a parolee who was also trying to straighten his life and reconnected with his wife and son. Both have developed their friendship which allows each of them to live life to the fullest.
Egg custard pie Our dinner was a repeat performance of our penne pasta lunch because I cooked a lot during lunch. . After our dinner we had the choice of egg custard pie or burnt cheesecake for dessert. The egg custard pie was given by my niece when my bunso went to their place to buy some cookies. She wanted us to taste her product. When I tasted the pie, it's very delicious, not very sweet and creamy. I can say that this is really a good homemade egg custard pie. I still…

This is my breakfast for today: toasted bread with egg omelette with dried malunggay leaves and cheese, fried saba banana and turmeric tea. Hope everyone had their breakfast . Enjoy your day.
Waiting I'm out to process some papers and I am # 26. They are serving # 16 now. I hope I can finish here before lunch time. There are many clients at the moment but there's social distancing coz tables are far apart. I took some photos and I saw this painting on the wall. I could not get a very clear shot because there's a fellow sitting nearby the painting. The painting shows the "bayanihan" system where everyone helps each other in this painting , they are moving a "bahay…
Mommy's Day out I am here at Ayala Mall . I had a chance to pass by Terraces and glad to take some snap of the area. I have always loved their garden . You can just sit there and enjoy the greenery. Good there are few people around and it's not a busy area. I have something important to do inside the mall so I better keep moving. Enjoy the Ayala Terraces view.
Butterfly I found this butterfly flitting around these multi colored flowers. I tried so many shots with its wings closed together, then it opened again until I got this perfect shot. Taking photos of butterflies need a lot of patience and waiting for the right moment. No need to hurry, just enjoy nature and its presence. I was so amused watching the butterfly visiting these flowers. I'm happy it allowed me to take some photos and staying in this flowers for sometime enough…
Dead battery One of the reasons I went to the mall because I need my watches to be fixed. The batteries had died so I went to the Watch Repair Section of the Metro Department Store. I have not used my watches for many months due to pandemic. I just need to have them checked because I had a bad experience before with my old watch. I did not change the dead battery for some time until it damaged the watch. These watches are very memorable to me so I have to take good care of…
Dinner When I was at the mall earlier, I visited a bakery which made good breads. My daughter used to buy their day old bread at 50% discount. When I checked there, they have day old Rye loaf bread and ciabatta which I bought. I also passed by the supermarket and bought some butter, cheese , cooked ham, chicken ham, lettuce, etc. That's why our dinner is sandwich with ham and cheese. Then our dessert is cookie a la mode( cookie topped with ice cream.).
Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) I have to flex these flowers which I found this noon. Are you familiar with Ylang Ylang tree and flower? I found some Ylang Ylang trees at the Capitol Compound mini park. It has a scientific name Cananga odorata, or also known as fragrant tree or perfume tree. It's blooming and very fragrant. I was so amazed to see such a flower in the city. This is a very valuable tree because essential oils are extracted from its flowers to be used in making…
Sleepy head I'm a bit sleepy but before I sleep, I want to thank the Lord for taking good care of me today. Thank you for keeping me safe while going around the city and mall. Thank you for the beautiful sights and flowers I saw today. I am so overwhelmed with the beauty of nature. Here is a beautiful santan flower I shot today. This is so attractive and beautiful. I loved playing this flower when I was still a little girl. Good night my friends.

Thank you Lord for this beautiful morning. Did you have your breakfast already? Please don't skip your meal. It's very important to nourish our bodies. I'll be having my breakfast in a little while too. I'm taking my free Vitamin D this morning to help boost my immune system and to strengthen my bones. I am enjoying…
I made a simple breakfast this morning. I had Fried egg, fried dried fish, rice and banana. I also made my turmeric ginger tea. I invited my daughter to eat with me but she liked to cook dried pusit. So I eat all alone. I'm now full and ready to continue working. I'll do a little laundry before preparing lunch. Sorry my lazy finger was quick to click done without posting yet the photo.
Magandang tanghali Pilipinas. Nakapag tanghalian na po ba kayo? Ako po ay nagluluto pa ng gulay na may malunggay at alugbati. Tapos na po magluto ng pritong isda at hungarian sausage. Kaunting sandali na lng at matatapos na rin ang gulay ko. Ano po hinahanda ninyo mga kaingay? Sana makakain ng maaga . Yung panahon dito ay nababadya na uulan.
A Park in the Capitol Sharing with you some photos of the beautiful park I passed by yesterday located at the Cebu Capitol Compound. It's a small park full of various plants and flowers. The landscape is well planned. It's facing the entrance going to the Governor's office, so there are many guards going around the vicinity. I remembered that in this place there used to be a building of the Dept. of Education but it was demolished because it was destroyed during the strong…
Plantitos and Plantitas At the Ayala Mall yesterday, I saw this row of plants and some pots and other planting materials for sale. It's now convenient for Plantitas and Plantitos to get their plant materials while they are at the mall. They have occupied a certain "pasillo" or hall to display their plants and wares. I was just passing through and thought of getting a snap while passing by. I just realized now while looking at the photo that I should have bought some…
Dinner I am cooking tortang tuna with carrots and potatoes. I am using canned tuna chunks in vegetable oil so I opened the can and poured the oil on a hot pan where I will sauté the carrots and potatoes. I chopped the carrots and potatoes then sautéed it with onions and garlic. When the potatoes and carrots were cooked , I added the tuna. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Let cool for a little while. In a big bowl, break two eggs and beat them . Add salt and pepper. Then…
Doña Aurora ( Mussaenda Philippica) Do you recognize what plant or flower this is? This is called Doña Aurora or Mussaenda Philippica . It is a shrub . It's flowers are small yellow orange in color but what provides real attraction is the white to greenish white leaf-like sepals which are about 3 inches long. Isn't she a beauty? You can find this plant and flowers at the Capitol Compound Park too.

Trash disposal It's the time of the day that the Barangay waste collectors pass by our street and pick up our trash. I commend our government officials for the regular collection of our trash. It's an SOP already here that we bring out our trash early morning because the garbage truck usually passed by past 8am. How about in your area my friends, is garbage collection system regular and well managed? I hope so because it's difficult for wastes to accumulate especially if you…
Good morning. Nakapag breakfast na po ako my friends. Huwag po kalimutan mag almusal mga kaingay. I made a sandwich with cheese , tortang tuna with carrots and potatoes ( leftover from last night) and some lettuce leaves. Sorry I did not take a photo of my sandwich. I also have ginger turmeric tea. I also have a slice of egg custard pie which is still so delicious. It goes well with my tea too. Here is my egg custard pie and my tea. Let's eat.
Lunch I gathered some alugbati and malunggay from the garden for my vegetables soup today. Are you preparing for your lunch ? I am also cooking fried fish to pair with my vegetables. Only 3 of us are eating lunch here so I will only cook enough for us three. Oops it's almost 12 noon. Hope everyone is ready for their lunch.
Thunder and the bright sky The sun is shining brightly but I can hear thunder from afar. Is it going to rain? The wind is blowing nicely as I sit resting here under the shade. I finished eating lunch with my bunso. Only two of us ate and enjoyed our vegetables soup. Her partner did some rush work so no time to eat. I also fed my pets and they are resting now too. I am also waiting for the fish vendor whom I bought fish this morning because he said he's going to bring back my…
Dessert time As I was sitting outside enjoying the windy air, I thought of indulging on some desserts. I checked our ref and got small slices of Burnt Basque Cheesecake and Egg custard pie. These are so yummy. I'm eating it now while I make Noise. Sweets make our days happy . I can feel my inner smile when I see delicious desserts like these. Come join me.
Preparing Dinner I am happy that I was able to sleep this afternoon. I had a good rest. Nakapag merienda na po ba kayo? Parang busog pa po ako kaya pass muna sa merienda. Naghahanda na naman po ng ulam para mamaya. Maraming roast chicken na sobra nasa ref kaya ginawa kong chicken adobo. I added vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, onions, bay leaf, pepper, a little sugar and honey. I had the chicken adobo simmering until it was done. I also cooked garlic butter shrimp , only 1/2 kilo…
Moon nearing first quarter. After our dinner, as usual I fed the pets, threw some trash and helped keep some extra foods inside the refrigerator. I was checking our backyard door, I opened it and when I looked up the sky, a boat-like shaped moon welcomed me. We have thick clouds at the moment that's why the moon 🌙 would appear and later disappear as the clouds covered it. I waited for a while until I got a photo of the boat-like shaped moon 🌙 . It's shining lightly amidst…
More butterfly poses Good evening everyone. I want to share with you two more photos of the butterfly which I photographed last July 13th. It's a black and white butterfly sipping nectar from a colorful lantana flower. Being patient in taking a photo of the flitting butterfly, you will really find the right moment. You just have to be quick too. My own content and own photos.

Good night. My own content and phf D s
Thank God it's Friday. It's a beautiful day and I thank you Lord for waking me up to face a new life of goodness. Let's embrace our being a good person. We were created with a goodness in our hearts. Everyone of us is inherently good and different with each other. We may not be aware but the little things we did to one another, supporting them in their lowest lows, inspiring them when they were down, helping in whatever way we could are little signs of our being a good…
Breakfast After doing my sun bathing to get free Vitamin D, I prepared my breakfast. I sliced some ciabatta bread and toasted it with butter . I also heated sliced hungarian sausage with cheese and 1 tuna patty. I still have a few lettuce 🥬 leaves , so I washed it too. My bunso wanted to have egg omelette so I asked her to add 1 more egg for me. I also had a cup of hot turmeric ginger tea. I finished my 3 slices of ciabatta bread , 2 slices of hungarian sausage and some egg…
Good afternoon noisemates. We just finished our lunch. These are the food we had. I removed all the bones from the chicken adobo I made last night and made it into adobo flakes. We had grilled back ribs and I got 2 thin slices and added a non spicy sauce. I also cooked corn and carrots for our side dish. It looks yummy and it is. Who else has not eaten lunch? It's time to eat now. For me, it's rest time because I have already fed my doggie and the alley cat Ginger. Dishes…
Look who's at my window. It's Pepper our house cat. She went out earlier when I was resting outside but when I went back inside she was left alone there. I went inside my room and later I found her on the window sill. She really loves to sit on window sills whether in the living room or in bunso's room. When I called her name , she faced me and I caught her on camera. Very cutie Pepper!
Boiled banana. While I was having lunch, I boiled the ripe saba banana. True enough just after our lunch it was already cooked. I wanted to make "minatamis na saging" or cooked banana in syrup. I was tempted to taste the banana and I cut a little before I went out to rest. I found it very sweet and delicious so I got the whole banana and started eating it. It's so yummy. Now , I don't know if I will still cook it in syrup coz I'm tempted again to get another one. 😊
Sweetened banana. Ito na po ang nangyari sa nilagang saging, minatamis na saging na po. Gustong gusto ng mga anak ko ito kaya ginawa ko ang boiled saba banana into sweetened banana. Gumawa po ako ng syrup and added the sliced bananas. I also added vanilla for flavor . I let it simmer until done. I loved eating this with crushed ice. It's refreshing.
Achara My daughter went to our cousin's house to get something from her cousin. What a blessing, our cousin gave us this much of achara or green papaya pickle relish. Achara is a pickle made from grated unripe green papaya , ginger, onions , carrots, and bell peppers. It has a sweet sour taste. This is a Filipino dish. We usually eat this as an appetizer with grilled meat and fried foods. This will be good for the grilled ribs we have for tonight. Thank you so much dear…
The Moon Hello noisemates. I presume everyone has eaten their dinner already. Those who have not eaten yet, please don't skip your dinner and eat now. I'm done with my dinner. I ate adobo flakes and achara, very yummy pair. Since I'm done with my chores,I checked out the moon 🌙 but was so disappointed because of the thick clouds. I waited for the clouds to clear but it didn't. Then I saw a faint light as the moon appeared behind the thick clouds. I quickly took a snap and…
Lantanas I'm sharing these very attractive and colorful lantanas. They come multicolored like yellow orange, red , pink, or orange. Some lantanas have purple, yellow, and white colors. The butterflies love this flower. This grows well in direct sunlight.

Morning blessings. Thank you Lord for waking me up to this cool Saturday morning. It's always a blessing to enjoy life, breathing fresh air and listening to the sounds of nature. As usual, the sounds of the roosters crowing and chirping birds awakened me. It's still early for me to go out so I stayed inside my room, said my morning prayers and opened noise. I pray that everyone is doing perfectly well today ready to face a life filled with trials and we should be hopeful…
Good morning. I ate a very late breakfast and look what I had! It's ripe sweet cold papaya . I woke up early but I was lazy today so I just stayed in bed and listened to music and read some materials. When I sensed that someone is already outside, I also went out and cut the papaya which I placed inside the ref to get cold. This was given by our cousin. It's so sweet and just right in ripeness. I decided to have papaya fruit for breakfast. It's very refreshing. Let's eat.
Good afternoon . Brunch po ang aming tanghalian today . Breakfast food for lunch. We have bacon , shrimp and hungarian sausage. My daughters seldom eat breakfast so we decided to eat breakfast foods for our lunch.. Kumain na po ba kayo ng tanghalian? Kain na po.
Wheels of fate Our lives are like wheels. Sometimes we are at the bottom, sometimes we are at the top. When we are at our lows, we are full of hardships and problems. But because of our faith, we are confident that we too can overcome the tragedies of life. There are things for which we do not have the answer or control but we let our God handle these things. The right time will come when we can also survive the deepest fall of our lives. We need to Trust Him. In times of…
Gumamela 🌺 This red gumamela is rather big and very attractive. It is also called Hibiscus. This is a delicate flower and doesn't last long. This attracts the butterflies, moths and some bees. I remembered during my student days, we used gumamela flower 🌺 to study the parts of the flower because it has an almost complete parts of a normal flower. My own content and photo.
My Spider X I was intrigued by this type of spider whose web is found made under the guyabano tree. What is most visible is the big white X mark where the spider's legs are carefully aligned and it's body located at the center of the X mark. I search in Google as to similar photos to identify its name and found one similar color at this site, https://spiderid.com/picture/56499/. It said that the spider was found in Siargao, Philippines. It is called Argiope appensa (Hawaiian…
Onigiri Let's eat dinner my friends. I only ate Onigiri kani mayo , a piece of ciabatta bread and a slice of papaya. My daughter and her hubby went out for a walk and passed by a newly opened Family Mart nearby. They bought some food and I chose the Onigiri for my dinner. Sorry I can't invite you coz they bought exactly one for each of us.
Mr Moon Tonight is the First Quarter Phase of Mr Moon. We can see that half of the moon is illuminated or shining. Mr. Moon gets its light from the sun. After I had cleaned the kitchen and taken a bath, I went to our back door again to look for Mr Moon before I go to my room. At first , the moon was hiding behind those leaves so I moved a little farther until I could see now clearly Mr Moon. I really loved looking at the moon. It gives a romantic feeling, bringing back…

Happy Sunday my friends. Have you eaten your breakfast already? I had finished my breakfast. I had rice, egg omelette, corned beef and dried fish tocino. I also had some atchara as an appetizer. It really added to my appetite that I added more rice. Those who have not eaten yet, go eat your breakfast and don't skip your meal unless you're on diet. I'll go bback to do some chores here at home. See you later. God bless.
I just learned today that there are new Modern PUJ units that will be plying the streets here in Cebu City. They are air conditioned units. The minimum fare is P11. It is being operated and maintained by cooperatives of different routes. I saw this at Superbalita Cebu news today. I hope that with these new units , transport rides within the city will be improved. Just sharing . Photos are screen shots from Superbalita Cebu news on FB.
I had a late lunch today because I had late breakfast. I did some laundry and ate lunch after I finished hanging the clothes. It was very sunny day so I hanged a few clothes right under the sunshine. After eating I decided to make a choco banana shake. Just as I was finishing my shake I heard a sudden down pour of rain so I had to rush outside to gather the clothes I hanged directly under the sun. I was so wet that I need to change my clothes. I transferred all clothes to…
I was checking my external wallet and I found out that someone sent me 0. 00049811BCH at noon today. Maybe it was sent earlier today, because recording at Coins .ph is always delayed. To the person who sent me this amount, I am very grateful. Maybe I am a recipient of the QR code challenge. It's difficult to trace where it is coming from so I just express my gratitude through this post. Again , thank you so much. Maraming salamat po. Muchas gracias.
Hapunan Katatapos lng po kumain ng hapunan. Bumili ang mga anak ko ng Sr Pedro na Lechon manok at kapares sa aming atchara. Nagluto lng po ako ulit ng kanin kasi kaunti na lng ang sobra sa niluto ko kaninang umaga. May natira pang tocino dried fish kaya kinuha ko na rin para pampagana. Sana tapos na rin po kayo kumain mga kaingay. Habang kumakain, nag kwentohan ang aking mga anak tungkol sa laro nilang ML. Hindi ko alam paano ang laro na yan kaya nakikinig lng po ako . Yan…
Fragrance in the night While I was feeding my pets tonight , I smelled something fragrant in the air near our gate. I checked outside and saw the snake plant (Sanseveria) flowers already blooming and releasing a pleasing fragrance. This is a third bunch of blooming flower stalks my snake plants gave me. The blossoms opened at night time and closed during the day. That's the reason why we can smell its fragrance at night time . Snake plants are air purifier plants. I am…
Pink Hibiscus I got this photo from our neighbor's plant. A pink Hibiscus or gumamela flower 🌸. It has a special beauty unique to it self. Just like everyone of us, we have our own kind of beauty. Each individual is made special. This pink flower too is special and has its place in our natural environment. Let's enjoy the beautiful blossoms of pink Hibiscus or Gumamela. Have a good night. Don't forget to pray before you sleep thanking our Father in heaven for the beautiful…

I was trying to get some sleep but I couldn't sleep yet. Maybe because I has slept well late this afternoon. I came back to check here. Praying that I can sleep already.
Sunshine 🌞 It's a bright sunny Monday morning. I thank my Father Almighty for breathing into me a new life to fulfill my mission. Thank you Lord for giving me another day to celebrate life with family and friends. Every morning when we wake up, it's a big blessing that we should be grateful for. Yes, I had already done my sun bathing with some stretching. I am still sleepy but I had to bring out our trash bags early for the collectors to pick up. I don't want to be rushed…
Sol de la mañana. Buenos dias mi amigos y amigas. Es un día soleado. Te agradezco Señor por respirarme una nueva vida para cumplir la misión que me diste. Gracias Señor por un nuevo día celebrando la vida con familiares y amigos. Es una gran bendición despertarse cada mañana. Saquemos energía positiva y buenas vibraciones e irradiémoslas a todos. Al igual que una pequeña piedra arrojada al agua, hace ondas y ondulaciones. Nuestro buen humor también puede afectar a los demás.…
The garbage truck collector arrived but it seems to be full so it was not able to pick up our trash. Maybe it will be back anytime today or tomorrow to continue its tasks. I will now prepare my breakfast. We have some bread so I might as well toast some with butter and have a cup of tea. Good morning.
Lunch It's time for lunch. I cooked tortang talong, adobo flakes and chicken mami soup with malunggay and egg. I also have atchara as appetizers. It's my first time to try chicken mami with malunggay and egg and it's good. Kain po tayo. Huwag po palipas ng gutom. Good noon noisemates.
Cracker Nuts This is my all time favorite. When I have nothing to do, I eat Nagaraya cracker Nuts (peanut) and I prefer the original flavor. I bought the small packs so that I can control the amount of nuts to eat. If I open the big pack, I can finish it too in one sitting so better get the smaller pack. I finished the 3 packs of 10 grams each. Do you like this cracker nuts too? Masarap po pinapapak habang nagpapahinga. Good afternoon my friends.
Male Papaya I have a small papaya tree which only gives flowers and doesn't form a fruit. It's a male papaya. Look at its flowers, it's very pretty. I have already cut the upper part of this tree hoping that it will bear fruit but it failed. Now it's giving flowers which smell good when you go near it. Male papaya tree only gives flowers, no fruits.
Bonding time We just finished our dinner. I only cooked the ampalaya with egg and my daughter ordered pork barbecue. Good they bought ampalaya from the grocery yesterday so I cooked it. A simple dinner is made fun with all members of the family present. It is a time when we can talk and update with each other. We had a good bonding while eating. My bunso mentioned that she and her friends will go to an exclusive resort and they are looking for one more person to join them…
I am watching now Hospital Playlist Season 2 Episode 5. I have always admired the friendship and professionalism of the five doctors in this series. The story of each Episode is interesting involving the lives of each doctor or their patients or relationships with their colleagues and love ones. See you later. Photo is a screenshot from Netflix.
It's getting late and I need to rest. I am posting this Ylang Ylang flowers to inspire me to go on with life and always look at the bright side of life. There may trials or delays in realization of our dreams I know that in the end I will be victorious. Just like this flower, it may not have a very attractive color but it exudes a very pleasant fragrance at night time when no one sees it. You can only appreciate it when you smell its unique fragrance. Nature has its own way…
Good morning. Magpapasalamat po ako at nagising sa umagang kay ganda. Thank you Lord for a new life with new hopes and opportunities. Let's entertain positive thoughts and take away all negativities. "What you think is what you become ." With that in mind, think always of good things in life, be optimistic and be happy with what we have and what we can do with our present. Bring your happy thoughts to life. Give a big smile to the people around you. Think only of good…
I am experimenting on my external wallet here at noise. I have been using Coins .ph as my external wallet since the start but when noise started it's QR Code challenge, I created a Bitcoin.com BCH wallet and used it now as my external wallet. I am happy because every time my target minimum payout is reached, it is deposited directly to my Bitcoin.com BCH external wallet now, no need to wait for some time. How about you my friends, what is your experience with using your…
Ganito ka tirik ang araw ngayon. Super bright and sunny yet windy. I am ready to go out with the family for our lunch date. I pray that it will not rain today so that we can enjoy the sights at the place where we are going. I'm just excited because I seldom go out these days for safety. See you later.
This is where we had our lunch today. We are on the mountain side here at The Dales @ Terracotta Manor here at Bonbon, Cebu. I ordered fish and chips with potato widges. They have good food and the ambiance is super beautiful. My family is happy to be here. Thanks to my daughter for being our sponsor.
Enjoying a glass of ginger ale by the pool. This is an amazing place. I love it's peace and quiet. I'm still here at The Dales.
To quench our thirst ... fresh buko juice and ginger ale juice. Let's drink and be refreshed. I love the fresh air around. Plus the perfect view.
On our way home, we passed by the Cebu Business Park and saw that the sun is already setting. I took a snap while inside the car. I always love looking at sunsets.
I was amazed today because the moon came out early. I saw it already when we went out from the mountain site where we had lunch. As we went down going to the city, I can still see the moon. When we arrived at a gas station , it's very clear to my sight so I took the chance of taking its photo to show you. Here's the moon showing up early this afternoon.
The Dales I want to share the good time that I had today with my family. We ate lunch at a restaurant at the mountain side, walked around the area, did some photo shoots, relaxed and breathing fresh mountain air or by the pool side and more bonding with everyone. I had a great time relaxing and eating. We seldom go out nowadays due to pandemic. We chose this place to visit because it's in the mountains with a beautiful view, food is good and social distancing is really…
I was attracted to this beautiful red bunch of flowers while roaming around the grounds of the restaurant earlier. I don't know its name though but it's a beauty swaying following the blow of the strong winds. It's very windy when I took this photo, I hope I did justice and shot it well. Let's enjoy nature's beauty at its best, Good night.
As I was looking at this lone tree , almost leafless, which stands directly below the pool, I could not help but wonder how this tree would look if it's leaves were lush and green. As of the moment, only few leaves were present. I thought that tree would die but there's still life showing. In the reality of our life, we may feel so dried up,so low and down but if we keep on hoping, praying and think only of good things, we will find hope and conquer all problems or trials…
Sleepy It's time to rest after a long day. Thank you Lord Jesus for a blessed and beautiful day. It's such a wonderful day with my family. Thank you also to my friends here at noise who kept on supporting each other for the betterment of this platform. Please bless everyone with good health, prosperity and abundance. I will leave this pot of cute flowers to inspire you before sleeping. Good night and God bless. My own content and own photo.
It's a pleasant bright morning. Thank you for waking up to this beautiful day. Thank you Lord for a new life. Thank you for Your mercy and compassion. Thank you for your protection and care for each one of us. I also pray for the safety of each one of us. Please cover us with your mantle of protection especially from any sickness or any viruses around us. I praise You and I love You Lord. Good morning.
Sunshine It's a sunny day at our side and I have already done taking some free Vitamin D while watering the plants. I took a photo of the sun shining glaringly at 8:35am today. I understand that in other parts of the country , it's been raining since last night. Mag ingat po kayo mga kaibigan. The plants were so dry because I went out yesterday not able to water them so I watered them now. I thought it will rain last night but nothing happened. My friends, have you eaten…
Purple flowers I saw these cute purple flowers swaying with the winds yesterday. It took me sometime to get a good shot because of the wind blowing. There was a time when I tried holding the branch to keep it still but no use so I waited for a brief moment when the wind blew slowly and that's the time I took a snap. I don't know what flower this is but I find the cute purple flowers swaying with the wind interesting and attractive. I hope you will enjoy the beauty that I am…
Metamorphosis We learned that a butterfly life cycle has four stages. These are 1. The egg, 2. The larva or caterpillar, 3. The pupa or chrysalis and 4. The Adult butterfly. Each of these stages are unique to different butterfly species. The photo I snapped is the Pupa or Chrysalis stage. It is at this stage where the caterpillar goes through a spectacular change of Metamorphosis. The old caterpillar will later on change into a beautiful butterfly. Isn't it an amazing world…
Missed its emergence. I checked on the pupa at about 2:30pm and noticed that I was already late because the butterfly had already emerged and flew. The pupa is now transparent and there is a little tear near the head part. ( Please see the photo below. ) I'm sad that I missed this momentous event. I just missed its emergence! Anyway, I noticed a new butterfly flitting around the flowers. I wish it will enjoy life flying around.
The view In this time of pandemic, it is a blessing to visit the mountains and breathing its fresh air. It's soothing and calming to our spirit. Communing with nature revitalizes our energy. It has a healing power. I can't get enough of this view. It's so relaxing and peaceful.
Swim An inviting empty pool , it's so good to have a dip. The strong winds blowing caused ripples on the surface. Can you see who enjoyed the cool waters of the pool? They are enjoying each other's company. Two birds taking a dip and enjoying its coolness. What a lovely sight to cherish.
Red flower 🌺 Here's a red flower to brighten our night. I guess this is a variety of Hibiscus ( gumamela) flower with double petals, I hope I am correct. I also snapped this flower 🌺 at the mountains where we had lunch yesterday. The plant had grown tall with a few flowers. I'm glad I saw this flower. In the second photo , I tried holding the flower to get a clear shot. Enjoy the beauty of this variety of Hibiscus 🌺. God bless.
Gratitude prayer Ako po ay magpaalam na po sa inyong lahat. Thank you for keeping me company her at noise. Thanks for all your support, inspiring words and hearts. I am grateful and appreciate them. Thank you our Father in heaven for taking care of me my family and friends. Thank you for Your protection. Thank you for for Your constant love, mercy and compassion.

Magandang umaga mga kaingay. Maliwanag na po ang araw at salamat po Panginoon sa pag gising mo sa akin mula sa mahimbing na pagtulog. "Every gising is a blessing." Salamat po sa mga biyaya na bigay Mo sa akin, sa aking pamilya at mga kaibigan. Let me welcome this beautiful day with a big smile and positive attitude. Thank you for watching us and protecting us Lord. I offer my day to honor and praise You my Lord. Amen.
Lakatan Hello my friends. I have already cooked chicken curry for lunch . While resting, I am eating one piece of lakatan banana. I learned that it is advisable to eat fruits a few minutes before a heavy meal. If you do this, all the nutrients will be absorbed by our body. I need to eat banana especially if I feel some knee pains. I also learned this from a friend whose son could not walk and they were advised to let him eat bananas, ( she is giving saba banana to her son…
Hello Food lovers! This is what I cooked for lunch, chicken curry. I have not posted earlier because I was finishing my laundry. After hanging all my clothes , I noticed there's some curry left so I took a photo. In cooking my chicken curry, I used chicken breast and sliced it to bite sizes. I sautéed onions, garlic and ginger, then added the chicken and let it simmer until the chicken's juices comes out. Then I added the curry powder and some water. Let it boil and simmer…
I have read updates that there are areas in the country where rain has not stopped being affected by Typhoon Fabian. I pray that those affected will stay safe and rain will stop soon Here at home the sun is in or out...sometimes it's covered with thick clouds and sometimes it shines glaringly. Here are two photos which I took a few minutes apart. The first shot was sun was partially covered with dark clouds while the second shot it's quite glaring. It's also windy .
Good afternoon noise. I'm showing you this tiny white flower at my backyard. I'm glad this tree still has flowers even though some of its fruits are getting mature and ripe. In the second photo , you'll see what happened to these white flowers, it becomes this fruit. This tree was given by my hubby's cousin and we just planted it in our little space. It has been giving a lot of fruits but I don't know how to process it because if we eat the fruits it's very sour. I have not…
As I look up the cloudy sky, I am happy to see the moon shining brightly behind the clouds. It gives us a motivation that even though we face problems in life, there will come a time when we will overcome all these problems and we come out shining just like Mr Moon shining behind these clouds. We need to focus and think of positive thoughts because I believe that what you think is what you become. Soon in God's time we will receive God's overflowing abundance in this…
I will be sleeping now but I want to share this photo to you first. Well trimmed trees on a hill. I just love the sight of it. Sometimes we need to take a break and be with natures best. Watch the wind blowing through its leaves , smell the flowers , breathe the fresh air and relax for a while. See you tomorrow my friends. Thanks for the day. God bless us all.
Magandang umaga Pilipinas. Maaga po nagising sa mga tunog ng mga tandang na manok at mga huni ng ibon. Magpapasalamat po ako Panginoon sa pag gising mo sa akin tuwing umaga. Salamat po sa iyong pagmamahal at pag gabay sa araw araw na gawain. Pagpalain mo po sana ako ,ang aking pamilya at ang bawat isa na nagbabasa nito. Let's welcome this Friday with good positive energy at may magandang ngiti sa mga mukha natin. Salamat po Panginoon sa magandang panahon dito sa amin.…
Breakfast for me is macaroni salad, banana and ginger turmeric tea. How about you my friends? Have you eaten your breakfast already? If not, please go and get something to eat. Breakfast is an important meal of the day. The macaroni salad that I have now was given to my son-in -law by his mom. My eldest daughter and son-in-law didn't like macaroni salad, so I have it all together with bunso. Kain po tayo. Good morning.
These too shall pass At 8:48am today Friday, I went out and saw that it was very windy and the sun was shining so bright despite the clouds surrounding it. Our weather now is very unpredictable. In other areas of the country, they experienced a lot of rainfall while in our area, it's still sunny although sometimes thick clouds covered the sunshine. It's too much windy too. I had to collect my laundry hanged outside because it was flown to the ground by the wind. In our life…
Lunch is ready. Have you finished cooking for lunch? I have sautéed sayote and also fried pork chop with onions. This is a very simple meal but nutritious because of the vegetables. Come let's eat my friends.
My siesta. After lunch, I noticed that I was feeling groggy so I went to bed. I remembered that I took an allergy pill last night because I couldn't sleep and kept sneezing. Maybe this was the effect of the pill. Sometimes we have to listen to our bodies. Thanks God, I just had a very good nap. After that nap, I think I'm still on dreamland. Have you tried it when you wake up but your senses are still asleep? That's how I felt earlier so I gave in and continued my sleep.…
Snack time na po! I have SkyFlakes and banana. Come let's eat.
Before I'l start cooking for dinner, I went out and saw the sun going down to set. It reminds me of our life here on earth. As we grow older, we are nearing the sun sets of our lives. So while we are at our prime, we should strive hard to put a mark and do our mission with utmost care. After the sunset we are assured that there will be a sunrise in the morning. Our sunrise is always waiting for us to welcome it. It's a sign of hope, a new beginning. Good afternoon.
Dinner is ready. I prepared tortang talong and sautéed rehydrated dried black fungus with green onions , a little chili sauce and sprinkled sesame seeds. It will be all vegies for tonight. Meat lovers, I'm sorry I have no meat for today . I will rest for a while before we eat. My bunso us preparing the table. Have you prepared your dinner too? Please don't forget.
