The first glow of the day, ”Sunrise’‘
Sunrise snapshots I took along Ateneo De Manila University ground, Katipunan. It was quick shot taken before the (5:45 am) College Entrance test last Sunday, Sept. 21,2014
Manila Bay, Roxas Boulevard is a natural harbour.
Seeing wonders right before my eyes is a burst of inspiration. One of the best pastime when it comes to relaxation is to capture the flying moments of these water birds. Seagulls, egrets, kingfishers and other seabirds seems to be following each other looking for a place to rest. Other birds floating on water and diving through to catch a small fish.
If you walk around and brings you to a sight which you can feel while watching it, This is it, you’ll experience the serenity here, Manila Bay, Roxas Boulevard is the best spot. While watching the sun sink descending in the horizon, birds flew endlessly across the bay, it flew and flew until they get tired following the direction of the wind.
It’s educational,responsibility and travel opportunity for pilgrimage lovers and mountain climbers. Visit the Holy Place ”Mount Banahaw” lying between provinces of Laguna and Quezon.
Mount Banahaw is an active volcano in the Philippines and the tallest mountain in Southern Tagalog. My hiking adventure going Mount Banahaw seems to be a easy hour hiking but you’ll experienced sweating in tropical heat.
I just hope today, the weather will brighten up so to allow me to enjoy hiking and taking snapshots around. For more than a month of cloudy skies and heavy downpour, typhoon just left after bringing rains to Metropolis and provincial areas. My adventure continues, more photos next posts…
Do you have any idea what is this? And what is this for?
Well, it’s a Baby Dinosaur paper lantern kit, it’s a Chinese lantern.
Upon completion, this is the finished product, a beautiful Paper Lantern Dino dinosaur, a decoration kit with a lamp. You see, it looks like very simple and easy to do it but, there’s no English instruction attached so we might as well guess on how to do it.
What a beautiful version of kid’s lantern.It’s fun to put all pieces together in just 10 minutes.
It brightly shines…shining in the dark!

The question is, Are you prepared to take challenging role to fulfill your vision? Is there any hope for a purpose? Absolutely yes! Develop yourself earlier is a good foundation. All resources: energy, talents, patience and determination are gifts given to you by God.
Hold your vision firmly and make the most of it. Don’t waste time and energy, do it while you are still young. Don’t mind discouraging situation when life falls apart, never get bored, irritated and impatient.There wasn’t one thing that is negative.
However, the desire to make it better would be a lot of planning and preparation. Always remember what dad says, ”Don’t just finish, do it well, you’ve got to work harder Son. Parents always encouraged children to go to school and do well, they even stretched their budget in order to give you the best things in life, they always make certain that they were always involved in any aspect of school. so, why not give 100% to every endeavor throughout your life?
Lastly, The providing power is your fighting spirit because everything has to be done quickly and finish before the sunset…..
Note: The picture illustration of a boy carrying an orange is my own photography, I have used one big orange to complete the process for interesting views, I took it while making Fruit crafts and carvings in the past intended for food blogs. I guess, it would be more interesting to use my own fruit carving and shots for inspiration quotes, poems and reflections.
With just plain friendship,loyalty and love is more than enough. So much more to add all the good qualities as being over-protective to keep us safe always, affectionate and hard-working is already a double sense of contentment and happiness for us. We got it and our pets have it.
I’m an animal lover. I love animals particularly cats and dogs. In the house, we have 3 big dogs. These pet dogs are purely domesticated and treated as family members. Among the 3, one is a mixed breed .Lets call her ”Chestnut, a combination of Golden retriever and Askal.
Today, Chestnut is already matured, more than 3 years of age with fully developed strong muscles and weight. She’s talented and obedient. She can also perform simple tricks, obey orders and follow commands like sit, stay and give me five. You know, just like humans,they need discipline.

Chestnut, displaying her super overweight body. It was a free feeding that we provides. You can clearly see rolls of excess skin and fats.There was no scheduled feeding until recently, I realized the disadvantages of free feeding. I just need to limit her food intakes.
Chestnut when she was still 3 months old
The other 2 are Labradors; Cooper and Ashley, now 2 years old. Just like Chestnut, they are also well trained but naughty. Ashley unique color is dark chocolate brown however, Cooper in a shiny black.
Cooper and Ashley. Rarely involved in fights during their younger stage. Photo taken when they were still 3 months old.
These 2 are the best working dogs around the house. We are enjoying their company, I feel safe even if I’m out or alone, they are reliable dogs that can take care of the house and family.
Cooper today. Very powerful appearance. Definitely, a matured dog now.
Ashley is now a mother with 3 beautiful puppies.
The other day, that was Tuesday, around 1 am of May 27. Ashley gave birth to 3 beautiful puppies. What an overwhelming excitement for the whole family. Let’s welcome the arrival of 3 beautiful puppies in this world. It’s the beginning of a new life….
To be continued next post.
How wonderful to see and welcome my morning visitors in the garden.It gives me the right energy in the morning. Love that charming movement and the beautiful sound of songbirds around.
Commonly seen birds in the garden are the Woodpeckers,Tree sparrows, Humming bird and the Gray wagtail. Tree sparrows has Grey brown upper parts with white cheeks underparts. Other familiar species are present although some are beneath the roof too.I don’t know their names, it appears to be like House Martin. For now, I can’t remember any clues of identity to some that was seen before.
My garden visitor
Soon, I will care to place a good tree as nesting site and shelter for the birds as well as a big container for bird’s bath. The old chico tree has dried up, still looking for a good replacement. Some sparrows prefer to feed on the ground, the scrap of foods intended for the dogs are welcomed by most birds around. Lots of birds will adore my surrounding because it is a feeding ground for them, the presence of wild red berries that produces a sweet juicy fruit usually attracts the birds to come indoors. The fruit berries not only for the birds, they are safe for children to eat.
Garden tiger moth, (Arctia Caja) the kind of moth that is chiefly active at dusk but it is commonly found around. It is a large moth with a yellow brown forewings lined with white horizontal lines.
The underwings colour is scarlet with heavily spotted black. The polka dots pattern seems to be very unique. The flat head is covered with hairs. You can see the external features clearly if you click on to view larger.
The tips of the forewings are hairy and at the center of each wings, there’s a white spot.
I didn’t noticed any last night but when I woke up, I was surprised to see these kind of insect hanging on the window curtain. Certainly, attracted to the bright lights, moth usually comes when they see bright light.
The ”Sky Ranch’‘ is the newest amusement park in Tagaytay. One favorite ride of mine aside from Zip Line is the Sky Eye. Let me show you the display of night colours in the sky. Night ride on the sky is very relaxing, slowly as it evolves,once you’re up, you can see the colors of the starlight and the beautiful aerial view of Taal.
Viewing the Sky Eye and other rides
You’ll see how the light changes its color while rotating, and definitely, it’s a night photography.
