Hi, I am Marla78. I am a newbie. I love moving around, doing things that I am fascinated with and anything even as simple as household chores. Because i believe that staying mobile is essential for health.

My friend sent this picture to me of their cat a couple of days ago. Meow Meow as they call him was once a stray cat. For whatever reason, the cat always followed them until the family's heart soften and decided to adopt him. Now he is living a good life. In this picture, apparently, he tucked himself in for warmth and comfort because of the cold weather. Isn't he clever? Thumbs up to pet lovers👍👍👍
@marla
Good day all! If yesterday was Meow Meow, the bed invading cat...today I am sharing this picture I captured few months ago. This is the agile Mimi the cat. I saw her walking liesurely on the side of the road then someone was also walking two dogs. The dogs were calm but Mimi the cat upon spotting them ran to the nearest tree and climb really up and up and up. I can't imagine until now how she got down because I needed to leave the scene. Being a stranger to her I don't think…

Night lights were competing with the moonlight. In such great heights, I saw the city lights! It's rare for me to see such a marvelous sight, So keeping the memory to my heart, is just right!

Do you have this same feeling of excitement everytime you cut open an avocado? You see, this fruit is intriguing. You can't tell on the outside if it's good or not. So everytime I cut one open I'm kind of like praying that it is flawless. There are times that they are disappointing but not this three times. So happy that I thought I have to take a photo of it each time. I love avocado either eaten by itself, or toss it in salads or in smoothies. And I know that it is good…
@marla
He is big and strong. He loves picking things up and play around. We think he is clever, oh yeah... But what do you think... Why the ball is still in his mouth on the second photo? Because the ball got stuck between his teeth😅 No worries, I am not a heartless human being I thought he needed help... So I did un-stuck the ball off his teeth😂😂😂 Have a good day all!
@marla
Every time I see the moon, I am singing the song I learned when I was little. And the song goes on this way, I hope you are familiar with the tune😊 "I see the moon and the moon sees me, Singing a song with a melody. Please let the light that shines on me, Shine to the one I love." I think it's pretty cute... Goodnight all!

I was walking round this little lake and I noticed these flowers fully blossomed. They actually are facing the lake and not the walk... but who loves flowers and not notice them? I thought, what a beauty I wonder what they are called?! Looking closely they actually resemble orchids. But even if I am not an expert I just know that they are not. So I looked it up. At first I thought they are petunias. But then I wasn't convinced. So i tried looking it up again and my final…
@marla
What is your breakfast like? Sweet or savoury? For me it depends what's on the table and depends where I am. I prefer sweetish but savoury is alright. What's important is that never skip breakfast as it is the most important meal of the day. Now I am laughing, for I am writing about breakfast before bedtime. Ĺooking forward for breakfast time, hahaha. Have a good evening, all😊
@marla
Good evening all! This is how sleeping in my nephews old bedroom be like. On the ceiling, on the walls and on the wardrobe are stickers of their old friends😀🥰🥰 There's Mickey Mouse and his friends cheering me up, Lightning McQueen and his friends smiling on the camera and...my favorite, "glow in the dark" stars and moons!!! Yeah, I am staring at two moons not just one. When I was younger, I had Snoopy and Garfield on my bedroom's wall, drawn by yours truly. How about you?…
@marla
Three friends shared a table but not the food😏 Ah well, just happened that we have different choices that evening. One likes Indian food. Another fancied Western. Lamb chops and roasted baby potatoes. And I opted for a poke bowl. Quinoa salad, sweetcorn, avocado and grilled salmon. Good food, indeed. We licked our plates/bowls clean😋
@marla
F R I E N D S having fun🥳 F-riends are treasures and are... R-ich blessings to me. I -hope I am to them as well. E-ager to give and take, N-ot a greedy human being. D-ay or night, we give support and.. S-ee each one get INSPIRED🥰

PIÑA COLADA This is my first take on this cocktail drink... In this beautiful resort hotel with friends. First, I asked what's in it? I was told coconut cream and pineapple. I thought, it's an interesting combo. But I tried it anyway. Why? Because I remembered one of Garth Brooks song "Two Piña Coladas". So yeah, curiosity made me try it. And I tell you what, it's so refreshing that I craved for more! Because of that experience, I got curious on how to make it. And to my…
@marla
What will be your reaction when your pets show their belly to you? Why do they do that, anyway, we may ask. Someone said to me that, that is total submission. They are showing complete trust and of course they want attention. So give them that belly rub. You will feel the connection between you and them. And they will love you more and more.❤
@marla
Have you ever heard of the saying, " There is light at the end of the tunnel?" Imagine yourself in a dark tunnel...and then as you are struggling to walk in the dark, you see light peeking somewhere! Doesn't that give you that feeling of hope...that chance...that energy...that trust...that gratitude?!? You see, sometimes in life we feel like, we are in darkness. For sure, young and old, man and woman, rich and poor have experienced that feeling of being in a tunnel-like…

BOAT RIDE Not my first to ride a boat, But that mixed emotion is always there... Excitement and fear that I want it to end, As soon as possible so I can breath. But wait, isn't it windy in the middle of the sea? Yes, I would say, but...but I can feel the strong ... waves hitting the boat!!! But once ashore and see the sight, and Smell and feel the breeze, and Hear the waves and taste the salty wind... Fear subsides replaced with awe.
@marla
Walk to the beach before sunset, Oh, what a glorious scene. A place where I can freely... ...without guilt nor worries un-mask mysef😉 Soak in the sunshine, the breeze... ...and the vastness of the open sea. And look, my longest shadow I've ever seen😁 Even the baby crab has a monstrous shadow😱 Thank you, Mr. Sunshine 🙏❤🤗
@marla
What is your favorite shade of green? Lime? Neon? Asparagus green? Pistachio? Forest green? Olive? Jade? Mint? Emerald? And the list goes on and on... Green symbolizes hope, freshness, growth, etc. Greens in our diet is good for us, Green forest is good for the environment, Green, green grass is absolutely breath taking. I was even wearing a jade and white melange shirt... ...while taking this photo😉 Good day/good evening, noise friends🍃🍃🍃
@marla
FRO-YO shortened name of FROZEN YOGHURT I consider frozen yoghurt as a guilt-free food. Better than ice cream but of course I won't say no for an ice cream as well😅 My friends and I had these frozen yoghurt mid-afternoon after walking around the city. What a nice way to spend time together during day offs. Most of the time it's just me so it's great if they are able to join me. I like my yoghurt with berries sometimes with a bit of nuts. Good day/ good evening all😊

A visit to this National Orchid Garden inside a huge Botanic Garden. My eyes feasted on the many varieties of orchids. I have felt the Creator's ingenuity and His love to us. He didn't just give us one type of orchid to enjoy but loads of it. Isn't it amazing that we see colors and enjoy these creations? It is also a genius idea to put all these orchid species in one place that made it easier for us to enjoy. Have a good day/evening, all!🌻🌻🌻

Hello all! Although cats are mostly calm, independent and minding their own business, what I know is that they are territorial. Hamlet here, if you notice has a big wound above his left eye. He fought with a new neighbor's male cat who visited in the garden. The other cat was left with a big wound on his tummy. Can you imagine the noise they made waking the whole neighborhood up? If there are cats around you, I'm sure you know what I meant.

This is my kind of chocolate. It is the darkest I can go. I tried 99%dark but my tastebuds said, not again, ever again. So I stick to 85% but 72% will do as well. When we hear of chocolates , our first thought will be: YAY! A TREAT!!!🥰 But did you know that chocolates have some health benefits as well? It's nice to know, right? A treat with more benefit! I have learned that chocolates are high in antioxidants that may protect our body cells from diseases. So that means it…
@marla
ACCOMPLISHMENTS How do accomplishments make you feel? Isn't it when we accomplish something, we feel this deep satisfaction that we have used our time in something meaningful and useful? But when you just lie around and done nothing, at the end of the day, we have this guilt feeling within us. So to avoid this, do you agree that having a goal will be useful? So yeah, let's make our to-do-list and see how much we have accomplished each day.

🌴🌳🌲🍃T R E E S☘🌱🌿🍀 Trees are essential to life. They help the earth, they help us. They give us oxygen, they clean the air. They keep the temperature cool. They give us fruits, they give us medicine. They give us materials for shelter. Even papers and some clothing materials come from trees. They even feed the wildlife. They stabilize the soil. No trees, expect flood during a rainstorm, even landslides. It's why, we can all agree, that trees are essential part of healthy…

Hello all! Are you like me who is time conscious that a clock or a watch or my mobile phone should be within my sight? I always feel the need to look at the time so I can manage my day well. Time is precious. It's funny how two characters in a film that I watched before had this dialogue, if I remember correctly it's Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot. Girl: What is that you are wearing? Boy: A watch that my father gave me. It tells us time to have breakfast, time to go to work…

At the far corner of the garden grew this flower. I can't help not to notice it because of it's bright orange color. So attractive that it draws me to it, so I took a photo of it. At first I thought this flower just comes from a weed. But well, I didn't know that it has a special name. Someone told me that it is called Crossandra Infundibuliformis or firecracker flower. Well, I will go for the second name as it's easier to remember. The name makes sense as the petals are…

Do you like Japanese food? When I hear the words Japanese food, my first thoughts are sushi, bento and ramen. But when I entered this restaurant I didn't have a plan having any of those. I explored their menu before coming so I knew exactly what to order. This is they call it Detox Salmon Poke Bowl. I got attracted with what they put in the bowl. All healthy. I have the tendency to indulge, so I make sure as I can that it's something I won't feel guilty after. At the bottom…
