Emotion Egg Artwork

By on September 11, 2025

While I’m waiting for my beef to get tender, I like to pass the time by doing something wonderful. It’s a fun and simple egg art piece that showcases facial expression. The great part is that kids will enjoy these amusing egg arts. You can also teach your kids how to make this kind of artwork which will boost their creativity and help them grasp different facial expressions, an art appropriate for various age groups and skill levels.

It is referred to as emotion eggs, a mom and child artwork. I’ve also added my collectible plastic hen and chicks. Making this kind of artwork brings back fond memories from my childhood. I used plastic eggs, a black paint and a small brush for the facial features, a small hen with chicks, a real egg, and a sprinkle of imagination to bring all the facial expressions to life. That’s it!

Whispers of Serenity

By on July 15, 2025

Nature’s beauty in a grassland landscape provides a serene natural setting, featuring a gentle breeze, soft light, and the sounds of nature that create a sense of peace and tranquility. The expansive open fields offer a calming and restorative experience, fostering a connection to nature that quiets the mind and promotes feelings of inner peace.

These photos were taken during my visit to Nara Park, the capital of Japan’s Nara Prefecture, a scenic destination. Here, you can interact with and pet over a thousand free-roaming sika deer.

How do dogs greet one another?

By on June 23, 2025

Lovely greeting pictures of Frosty showcasing him as he meets and greets dogs of different breeds.

I have three dogs: Ruby, a Chow Chow, Frosty, a Coton de Tulear and Maki, a Jack Terrier. Frosty always joins me for my morning walk, while the other two bigger dogs stay at home. I plan their walks separately because I can’t manage all three dogs at once. Whenever I take Frosty for a morning or afternoon walk, he greets all the dogs we encounter in the park. It does not matter whether the dog is large or small, as long as it is friendly, they will rush to meet my dog. I believe this is simply a natural way for dogs to greet or communicate with one another, their body movements can be easily recognized through eye contact, tail wagging, and body posture. Interestingly, dogs occasionally sniff each other’s behinds, don’t you think? Is that truly a pleasant scent?

Having a Dog as a Pet

If you’re looking for a genuine friend who will love you no matter what, get yourself a dog! Spending time with my dog keeps me both mentally and physically healthy.

Flock of Pigeons on Electric Wire in Tokyo,Japan

By on March 14, 2025

Flock of pigeons flying in unison landed on electric wire, it caught my attention prompting me to retrieve my camera to capture the moment. It was a very delightful sight to see them all lined up together. I snapped these photos during our visit to the Asakusa temple in Tokyo,Japan. Asakusa Temple is a renowned destination in Tokyo attracting countless tourist from around the globe and, it also serves as a favorite spot for pigeons to gather. This is simply how pigeons adapt to bustling environments, it is a common sight. The view below reveals an astonishing number of tourist, clearly indicating that this spot is a popular destination for visitors.

Pigeons are social birds often gather together and fly in flocks to help them identify spot on where to land. At this moment, i noticed they landed on a wire circling around and return to the same area indicating the familiarity with the surroundings, their communication and cooperation appeared to be highly developed which I believe serves as a safety measures to protect them against predators on the ground. They typically have a keen awareness of their environment and knows how to adapt, they hang out in safe spots where there’s plenty of food around.

You often spot this kind of scene but snapping a great photo can be tricky since the birds tend to fly away at the slightest noise. I never anticipated that I would have the opportunity to photograph birds here in Japan. Previously, I managed to capture images of seagulls, tree sparrows, black hawks and black drongos among others.These are pretty common birds around here but they definitely grab everyone’s attention.

Mali, the Saddest Elephant Dies after Decades of Solitary Confinement

By on December 5, 2023

The only elephant in the Phils and one of my favorite photographic subjects has passed away. Mali, aged 43- 49 sometimes referred to as Vishwa Ma’ali, a popular attraction at the Manila Zoo passed away November 28, 2023, at 3:45 PM at the Manila Zoo. She was the first captive elephant in the Philippines to have lived in solitary confinement for more than 40 years. Mali, a Sri Lankan elephant was given to the Manila City Government in 1981 but later became a zoo attraction, you can only imagine how difficult life would be inside the cage in solitary confinement. I was sorry to hear of her loss.

 I was one of the activists who advocated for her release so that she may go to safety living a free life. My dream for Mali is to have a free life connecting with other elephants. It was really a lonely existence living inside the cage, the elephant sanctuary ought to have been the ideal place for her to call her home. My hopes have been shattered that she’ s no longer with us now, she’s gone…

Mali and I had a particular bond and I frequently visited her at the Manila Zoo. She was also one of my favorite photography subjects and featured on my blogs a couple of times. I remember from my previous blog post featuring Mali, I took a picture of her against the setting sun. It was a dramatic photograph of an elephant with a sunset backdrop, it was a relatively rare shot.

I went to look over our old images and tears rolled down my cheeks. I lost a dear friend who always gave me her beautiul glance. My dearest Mali, thank you for the lovely photographs. I will always remember you. My final farewell, and may you rest in peace…

Note: Now that the elephant cage is empty and prepared to host the next generation, what about housing humans there? Simply choose the appropriate person to experience what Mali has gone through in captivity.

My apologies! I’m only exercising my right to free speech in the Philippines, which is a democratic country.

Small Dog Halloween Costume Ideas

By on November 10, 2023

Like the vast majority of pet owners, I like to dress up my four-year-old Coton de tulear, whom I call Frosty. I always have a number of outfits on hand, one for every occasion, and I’m currently trying on rehearsal outfits in order to determine which one he likes most in terms of comfort. The best part about dressing my fur baby is that it makes it super easy for me to dress him up because he already exhibits naturally friendly behavior and will approach me quickly when he is disturbed. I’m here to showcase the benefit of having an outfit rehearsal prior to the event. You can simply reject and select the best option for him.

Others say that dressing up dogs is a form of animal cruelty but we now live in a modern world where people treat animals like their own children. As long as you know your limitations when dressing your pet, they should not be too tight that they restrict movements. Online shopping becomes challenging at times. While I prefer that Frosty wear light clothing on our daily walks in the park but when we visit a pet-friendly mall, I usually dress him in a little bit more clothing to keep him warm.

I’d like to share a couple photos of my furry pet dressed up for Halloween. It appears that I’m more excited than him since I’m a fur parent. Some dogs enjoy wearing costumes, while others do not. Based on his appearance in these photos, you’ll know, or you can tell, which one is comfortable based purely on what he looks like in the picture. So, let’s get started!

Vampire Costume is a dramatic black cape with a red lining. Frosty also looks like a great magician.

 Frosty with a rabbit headband, it seems like she’s going for a winter walk but it looks quite lovely.

 Frosty wearing a baseball hat with an ear holes sunscreen.

This is an Anime dog costume, a cosplay spotlight.

Dinosaur outfit for Frosty. This type of outfit is a major no-no for Frosty, he will get heatstroke in this kind of outfit.

In this outfit, my dog ​​looks like a dwarf. Turning a cute dog into a dwarf is not okay! Lol!

Pretty lovely with his orange cone and headband.

Frosty appears more relaxed in this headband without the body wrap.

The orange cone shape is just as pretty cool.

Frosty with an antlers skull cap.

So, what are your thoughts on dressing up pets? What are your opinions on pets wearing costumes? Dressing up your fur baby expresses affection and a pleasurable experience comes along adoring your baby in clothing is a joyful and affectionate gesture. I won’t stop here, more to come next time.

Thank you for reading my blog!

Goodnight Fellas

Qingjing Farm-Green Green Grassland

By on December 13, 2021

There is a common saying that goes something like this: “It looks like Switzerland; it is the green land pasture to bond with flocks of sheep; and your reward?” Personal interaction, including bonding with and feeding the gentle animals.

A tourist attraction in Taiwan, the ‘’Green, Green Grassland’’ in Qingjing farm or Cingjing farm is a hill ranch in the midst of lovely grassy hills where livestock can graze. Its elevation above sea level is 1,750 meters. The temperature swings between day and night are quite dramatic.

Aside from the picturesque scene of the pastureland, surprisingly full of life to see the spectacular beauty of the mountains and hills abounds here.

Gentle Corner

Human-Animal Bond

Sheep are one of the earliest domesticated animals and are still popular today. When I tried to touch them and they didn’t push me away, I knew I had earned their trust and could relax.

Feeding the sheep with the feed provided by the park.

Outer part, sheep hair is a crimped wool and coarse but to my surprised, the wooly undercoat was soft and fluffy, much less than I thought.

It is well worth the effort to make the trip to Taiwan’s Green Green Grassland; I had my very first opportunity to interact with docile animals there, and it was a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was a vivacious relationship between us, so I don’t feel self-conscious moving around and touching them.

The sheep ranch, Qingjing farm, or Cingjing farm is an absolute must for any visitor to Taiwan, whether they choose to drive or hike there. The following are included in the price of a ticket to enter the green, green grassland: Grassy meadows, a park, and a pastoral region all make up the greenery that is Guanshan.

Sunbird/Hummingbird in the Philippines

By on October 23, 2021

The stay at home orders due to pandemic gave me the opportunity to reconnect with nature and wildlife. I began seeing species of birds that I’ve never seen before. This month, I began to notice the presence of hummingbirds around, with rain on and off, sometimes, showers are much more scattered, I was surprised to see them eating blossoms and performed the backward upside down position and hovered overhead.

Just like other pollinators which is fairly the same way as the bees and butterflies,

Hummingbirds enjoy nectar for the same reasons. The abundance of birds and other pollinators in our backyard is a source of great joy for me.

Little hummingbirds are really adorable! Hummingbirds are unique among birds in that they are able to both fly forward and backward.

When circumstances calls for photography, I’d hate to waste the chance to obtain some decent images with a relatively unposed subject. It takes a lot of patience to wait for the ideal moment and prefocus my camera on the branch where the hummingbird is likely to land, but by watching the birds I am able to easily have a good notion of where to stand and when to wait for the birds to move position in order to get a more natural appearance.

Hummingbirds are notoriously challenging to photograph due to their quick flight and small stature. Whenever I move, this bird takes off off the branch and flies a few feet away, but it always comes back after I calm down. I think the bird realized I was just attempting to shoot it and relaxed a bit.

The birds can always count on these blooms to provide for them. I really really wish these hummingbirds would return so I could take more stunning photographs of them.

RAVE Pasig Rainforest Park

By on September 8, 2021

Keeping me active is a great approach to relieve my pandemic tension because there is never a dull moment. For the sake of nostalgia, I was looking through some old pictures stored in a folder on my computer’s desktop. Because of its unique attractions and the fact that it is only a 20-minute drive from my house, my first visit to Rainforest Adventure Park and my return there a year later remain as my most valuable experience to this day.

For me, the best way to ensure that the wonderful times of yesteryear will be around for future generations to enjoy is to keep fantasies of bygone eras alive. There’s a backstory behind this photo, just like there’s a reason why I’m taking it today. So, shall we?

This is just some old photos I wanted to post before the epidemic hit.(Every image was captured in January of 2018) This amusement park has limited hours. Covid-19 pandemic made big changes and far from over plz. I am not here to suggest that you go to this amusement park. In the meantime, you should remain at home.

Rainforest Adventure Park

It is the first adventure theme park constructed and managed by local govt. unit, it is the project of Mayor Bobby C. Eusebio and Pasic City Council. RAVE is equipped with different outdoor facilities, a leisure ground for the public located in village of Maybunga Pasig. It was opened in 1977 but relaunched as RAVE known as ‘’ Rainforest Adventure Park Experience’’ in 2013 after the completion of additional features such as the Zip line, Boating lagoon and Skatepark. It also features the following: Butterfly house, Boating Lagoon, Rapid rides, Park pavilion, Botanical Garden, Pool area, Aviary, Mammal sanctuary, Kiddy land, Train station, Amphitheatre, Flower fields, Chess pavilion, Reptile house, Mini Zoo, Maze Garden, Tree house as well as picnic and camping ground.

In the two hours I spent at RAVE, I was able to explore many of the exhibits and take photos in my favorite areas, including the Butterfly house and the Flower fields. The memories of my special connection with the zoo animals just won’t fade. This 4.8-hectare park packs in a lot of activities and attractions in a short amount of time, but if you want to see everything, you’ll need more than an hour.

Reanimating a prehistoric animal. The walkways are decorated with life-size statues of dinosaurs, giving the impression that you have stepped into a prehistoric country straight out of Jurassic Park. The dinosaur replicas are available for photo ops at your leisure.

Rainforest Adventure Park Attractions

Early March is when most tourists flock to Rainforest Park for the best boating, wildlife viewing, and flower viewing. All of the must-see attractions in the rainforest are in close proximity to one another; it’s a one-stop shop for a nice day in nature. RAVE is for you if you appreciate nature in all its forms, including flora, fauna, and aquatic organisms.

Boating Lagoon

Paddle boats on a man-made lagoon. A paddle boat is a self-propelled boat that can cover significant distances. The 20-minute paddle excursion was fun for my sister and me and a great opportunity to get some exercise.

Butterfly House

I’ve spent more time at this location than I like to admit getting up up and personal with the butterflies so I can photograph them. This stunning habitat had a garden full with different kinds of butterflies.

My favorite spot to capture the most colorful insects. Butterflies are my favorite subject to photograph as well as my favorite agent of pollination. My endless photo shoot shows my great admiration for them. I have captured great photos and of course, I realized the power of pictures, it’s difficult to select which one fits the best.

Amaze Garden

An outdoor garden maze is a puzzle game, the dividers are made of plants formatted into a maze and it’s quite tough and confusing to solve the path route to the end.

Flower Fields

The giant sunflowers are the garden’s backbone and the major attraction, yet they are just one of the many wonderful things to see in Rainforest Garden. The Flower Fields landscape style incorporates a wide range of flowering plants, including popular perennials and annuals, into a cohesive whole.

Wind beneath the eye-catching monster sunflowers are perfectly attractive and sun-kissed pointing skyward. Adventure photography is a must-do here.

Botanical Garden

A lovely walk around worth seeing situated next to the flower fields is the Botanical Garden.

Deep well is an open framework that serves as a garden accent.

Aviary

The Bird Sanctuary, also known as bird flight cages, is a refuge for migratory and threatened bird species. A little stop to take pictures of the birds is an essential part of my day. There are several stunning birds in the area.

Crowd pleasing ducks

Petting Zoo

It is a combination of wild and domesticated animals, you are free to touch but not allowed to feed them. This attraction is a family leisure activity.

There’s no need to be in a hurry; there are benches spread out conveniently all around to let you take a load off and relax in the shade. In the end, you’ll have seen and done everything there is to see and do at Rainforest.

Locating the RAVE Pasig Rainforest Adventure Park: the Essential Information.

Three hours later, the sun is nearly at its zenith. After a fun and exhausting day, my sister and I headed home about noon.

Needing more? The highlights of Rainforest Park cannot be covered in a single post. When I return, I really hope the weather is nice…

Thank you for reading my blog!

Goodnight Everyone!
