How do you drink your coffee? Black? Cappuccino? Lattè? Flavored? White? Yes, each one of us has his or her own preferences. I like cappuccino although black is maybe healthier with the absence of milk and sugar. What time do you take your coffee? I take mine before lunchtime because breakfast is my tea time. I am a moderate coffee drinker...how about you? Are you that person who down more than three cups a day?

Hello noise friends! This is my one minute chocolate mug cake. There are times when I really crave for chocolatey cake. So I check the cupboard for ingredients. I know it is a mug cake, but I choose to make just half of it. Just enough to satisfy my cravings. Anyways, I put in self-raising flour, cocoa powder, flaxseed meal, a bit of honey, a bit of vanilla extract, coconut oil and fresh milk. Stir well and microwave for one minute. If blueberries or strawberries are…

Hello noisers! Hope all is well to us all🙂 Have you ever heard of this wise wisdom, "There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving"? Isn't it our hearts swell with happiness when we share something, or give someone of our time, our ideas, etc? Because indeed giving means happiness. This box of chocolates are given to me by a friend which I want to share to everyone. Not my kind of chocolate but even if she wouldn't know, I thought it will be polite for me to…

Good day all! Do you guys still read magazines? A hard copy one or soft copy? The thing is... hard copy is getting lesser and lesser nowadays. And the availability of almost everything is right in our gadgets. So easy... A friend of mine says, she has time off from her gadgets. And I think that as a brilliant idea. She sleeps at 9pm get up at 5am . Then she gets reunited with her phone before going for her morning walk... What a healthy lifestyle. Honestly, I do find that…

Greetings fellow noisers🙂 Do you guys like seafood? Any specific sea food or fish? I tried sea urchin but I am not a fan, but anything else, I don't mind. I had this unforgetable early dinner with friends two months ago. Unforgettable I would say because it is a place where we ate the food...using our fingers. A box of clear gloves was on the table so that was helpful. But I tell you, I'd rather use my bare fingers or knife and fork. True it's easier using our fingers…

Hello noisers! Hope you are all having a good weekend... I had a very late breakfast today for I sleeped in so I skipped lunch. But at 4pm I was starving. So I checked the fridge for a snack and found blueberry cheesecake. I made myself a tumbler of chamomile tea to go with the cake. And while eating I decided to have some fun until all is gone and left with just the still steaming tea... Sometimes as simple as snacktime can be a funtime with our phone camera. Do you guys…

CORAL BUSH It does not look like a bush to me but indeed it's coral in color. Strikingly attractive even if by it's lonesome. Nothing much to say today, effect of insomnia attack I guess...I hope I will sleep better tonight... So now I wish you all well. Till then, noise friends...

Hello dear noisers! How are you? Our HIBISCUS plant has a lot of flower buds which means we're going to have more flowers in full bloom very soon. Apparently, one flower blooms for a day so the next day, we see an unhappy looking flower that looked very happy the day before...that means this vibrant looking hibiscus will not be as vibrant looking tomorrow. Now, have you tried hibiscus tea? I had. The one that I tried do not need hot water. Just soak it in a glass of chilled…

Greetings fellow noisers! Hmm...I have been telling a friend here in noise.cash that I've been mustering up courage to take a photo of insects as clear as possible. My take on a spider was unsuccessful but these pictures of hairy caterpillars... I think is clear enough. It's why I'm sharing them to you. I'm wondering though, if it will pass your high standard🤔🤔🤔 When spotting these creatures, how do you feel? Don't you get goosebumps like myself? And psychologically feeling…

After yesterday's focus, today's focus is the moon. Yeah, it's safe, the moon don't bite😄 I am just happy that I managed to get the shape of the crescent moon three days ago and today we have half moon. I am always fascinated with the moon. Because it is one moon that we all see wherever we live in the world anytime of the day. Isn't that cool? It lights up our night and just up there adorning the clear blue sky at daytime. Do take a look! I hope you have clear sky like…

R E F L E C T I O N Sometimes or oftentimes, people get astounded on how people behave in front of them. Why sometimes, nice people act ridiculously rude is that because they are just reflecting how they are being treated. And then ask themselves, equally surprised,"why did I just do that?"...immediately feeling guilty. Yes, self examination is a good way to check our own course so that we don't act as foolish as the other individual. Remembering the saying, " love begets…

Happiness is seeing a droplet and held on long enough until I am satisfied with the outcome of my photo😆. Yes, more often than not little things are the reasons of happiness... What little things make you happy dear noisers? This is my first time trying to photograph a droplet and this photo is one of too many shots😄

This is my kind of frittata. Nice for breakfast or lunch and dinner, why not? I put vegetables in it like fresh mushrooms, red pepper, spinach and chopped onion. A bit of bacon will add extra flavor and top it with sliced avocado (if available) freshly grated cheese and freshly ground pepper. Looks great, tastes great and keeps you full for a while. Serve it with toasted bread and butter, and fruits on the side. Do you like frittata? What ingredients do you put in yours?
@marla
Hello noisers, hope we are all having a good day/ good evening🙂 Are you guys familiar with the quote, " Not every day is good, But there is good every day" ? Isn't it inspiring that it's encouraging us to look and see the good in our day, no matter how little it is? If we do that, we can make that little thing to inspire us to move on, lift our spirit up. Like this bright yellow hibiscus, this flower just bloom for a day but it can inspire someone like me to shine even in…

Greetings fellow noisers! You know what, I am so happy that I managed to compile my pictures of the moon cycle this month. At least that's what I thought. And then I learned that moon phases or moon cycle has eight phases and I thought it makes sense because it's just mid month now and I have seen all four phases and the invisible new moon cannot be taking half of the month, right? So it is going to be this way. I have seen the quarter, the half, the three quarter and the…

Hello fellow noisers! Hope we are all having a good time...😊 If I did not take this photo and you ask me to guess what this is, I will be close to giving up or I would say very unsure that it is an applique embroidery on a rich color material. I am sure that some of us can guess what this is, as I noticed that people in noise.cash loves doing macro photography... Am I correct, can you really guess what this is? I have been staring at it, and thought... things do not need to…

Hello fellow noisers, how's all? I quite like snacking nowadays which is not good...Do you know any trick on keeping self from indulging? I am thinking keep the counter empty? 🤔 But that thought is really sad, like seriously sad. 😅😪😔 Anyways, I think my sister had a better thought... in stuffing the counter with sunflower seeds. Oh yes, how exciting that nobody joined me in munching these seeds.😬 Sunflower seeds apparently is high in fiber and antioxidants and may lower the…

Hello again dear noisers! Hope all is well with us all🏵 My mind is like drifting clouds. I have numerous plans and not one of them is happening and it's starting to frustrate me. I guess I really need to sit down and make a list, prepare self , understand what I am going to put myself into then be brave to START...💪💪💪 Do you guys sometimes feel this way? How do you resolve that feeling? Maybe I can get some ideas....🙂

Hello fellow noisers, it's me here wishing you all well😎 My brother parked his motorbike in front of the house and I witnessed the evil plan of this feline. Sniffed, sniffed and investigated some more. Next action? She was on the driver's seat. It's funny how she stared in the direction where my brother went. That look on her face...is he coming back?!! I just learned how clever she is, because she knew the owner, I was there all the time and my presence did not bother her…

Hello fellow noisers!How's your weekend going?😊 I am sharing freshly taken photos of flower buds just outside the house. I know some of you guys have shared beautiful photos of flowers with a bee on them. Three thumbs up to that. Mine do not have bees, you probably could have guessed 😅 To me, flower buds can be a symbol of hope and positivity. We don't expect these ones to fall without even blooming. There is hope for tomorrow. So whatever flower buds-like things that we…

Hello fellow noisers! I hope your Monday is not too blue 🙂 Like I said in my previous post,...that I have been reading this magazine. How Creativity Positively Impacts Your Health. By Barbara Field, Medically reviewed by David Susman, PhD I personally like it's introduction telling readers that... Creativity helps us perceive the world in new and different ways. It helps us create works of beauty, problem solving, and refresh our bodies and our minds. It's fun, and when you…

Hello fellow noisers! I had my dose of Vitamin C today. Mandarin orange and mango. This mango had deep green skin color so I was surprised to see almost yellow flesh when I peeled it. It was sourish sweet. How about you? In what form of Vitamin C did you take or are taking later? You see supplements are just and additional Vitamin for our body, it's not a replacement. So it is wise for us to have these naturals and supplements will add to it. Stay healthy 💟 Stay happy!!!…

S U N R I S E BY THE L A K E The lake was so still that my friends and I saw the mighty sun's reflection. That situation when you try to capture the sunrise makes everything blurry and all we see is its awe-inspiring brightness and beauty. The green trees and the bright red flowers were just dark figures or shadows. While taking a photo of the opposite direction where the sun shines is glorified by its brightness. May every sunrise bring us hope😊 #Photography #thoughts…

Hello fellow noisers! I hope all is well with you guys... Are you a flexible type of person, who do not mind change. Change of time, change of environment, change of plan, change of work, etc...? Or are you a routine person, everything is planned?Things done at the same time as planned again and again and you don't mind? In fact you are happy with your daily accomplishment. Well, a flexible person is easy to adopt on change while a routine person will take time to adopt. I…

Hello fellow noisers! How are we🙂 Are we all getting our proper shut eyes? Yes, I am meaning SLEEP. Sleep is a crucial part of our life. Meaning, no sleep, no life. You see, if we sleep deprived ourselves which is easy these days what with all these too many distractions around us, do we feel great the morning after? I don't. I can stay up all night but my body will complain. So if we don't give ourselves that precious shut eyes, our health will go downhill eventually.…

Hello fellow noisers! I had another try on macro photography although my phone has no special lenses. When I thought I am doing good for not scaring away this bug I was right. My model kept still and let me do the click. But not for long... because a scary little creature came and stole the stage. Ah well, I think it was still a success. Me here, wishing you all well☘🌷🍀
@marla
Hello fellow noisers! Hope all are having a pretty good weekend.🌷🌱🌷🌱🌷 What looks like flames rising to the sky is just the magnificence of the sun setting to the west. A scene that most of us would not like to miss and a scene that we love to capture. Apparently, sunset has been proven to relieve stress. And this could be true, because personally, when I'm watching a sunset, it's awesomeness makes me forget how rough my day was. My focus is just on the scene which…

Hello dear noisers! Are you guys music lovers? I do like listening to music while working, doing chores or while doing anything. I love relaxing music, calms and soothes my nerves, makes me feel peaceful and lightens my mood. When I'm busy, I would go for upbeat music for a boost of energy, keeps me alert and going. According to research, music can have a powerful impact on human beings not only mentally but also physically. It helps boost concentration, reduces stress and…
