Last Thursday got my salary, asked my loving wife to prepare white spaghetti or carbonara for us. I realized she always cooked pansit guisado or spaghetti with red sauce. For a change this time it would be carbonara and put liver spread on the sauce, i find more creamy with liver. The next day if still have left over sauce I spread it to bread. You can not store the white sauce in the fridge for a long time. I took pictures and here's yummy my wife's version of Carbonara. If…

Pilipinas ang ganda ng tanawin habang naglalakad ako kaninang umaga papunta sa bukid. Kulay bughaw ang kalangitan at puting puti ang mga ulap. Ang mga bulaklak na maliliit ay ang tingkad ng mga kulay nila na napakagandang tingnan. Ang simoy ng hangin ay malamig at sariwa. Sa tanawing ito ay nabusog na ang mga mata ko. Walang signs na uulan ngayong araw dahil ang init ng sikat ng araw at ang liwanag ng kalangitan. Pagdating sa bukid ay inani na ang mga palay kaya hindi na…

We have to protect some insects that are not harm to us, because some of them benefited to our surrounding like they eating mosquitoes and…

May pinabili sa akin si tatay kaninang hapon sa may plaza sa bayan namin. Napansin ko bakit ang dami ng mga tao bata man at matanda ay nasa labas at ang iba ay walang face mask. Ang ibang mga tao talaga ay walang disiplina, ako kung hindi lang importante ay hindi ako lalabas ng bahay. Mabuti na lang may mga frontliners na sumisita sa mga kababayan natin na walang suot na face mask. Mag ingat po tayo at sumunod sa health protocols ng ating gobyerno. It's better to be safe…

I took these pictures this morning from the backyard of my friend. They have a lot of Moss rose flowers with different colors. It's planted on the ground that's why. We have also in our garden but it's planted on the pots. Wanted to plant more and no space anymore. Anyhow, these blooms are open only in bright sunlight, closes at night and on cloudy days. We called these ten O'clock as well because we noticed the Petals are opens at 10am and closes late in the afternoon.

The whole night is raining nonstop and even today still experiencing rainshower. Keep safe and warm. Yesterday I bought Chiffon cake in a bake shop. Tried it with black coffee, the taste is good but too sweet for me. I will let the children finish it, I'm craving hot pandesal,I don't want to go out this kind of weather. I'd rather eat plain crackers and some nuts. How about you noise family, what would you have this breakfast?
@alsalwa
The small butterfly it rested on our plant while it's raining that time. What I did is transferred the pot plant inside our terrace to protect the butterfly from the rainshower. This kind of butterfly our regular visitors in the garden. Before I moved the plant in the pot, I took a pictures with sparkling raindrops on it. After the rain, the butterfly flew freely and sure it will come back soon to enjoy our flowers and it adds beauty in our surroundings.

I was in the backyard a few a days back to harvest some eggplant. While harvesting I saw our visitor, a lady bug resting on the flower one of our eggplant plant. I snap it hurriedly before it fly somewhere and I was right, it flew after I captured it. I checked the other blooms it might ate it but only some leaves there's a hole. Anyhow, the subjects are alluring to the eyes. The eggplant flower looks prettier even some part of it covered by the bug.
