:Today's Flowers #44


This is just an ordinary flower, what caught my attention is the petite yellow bloom that emerged from the core of the petals. I thought it just fallen from another plant but after second look I noticed that it's in there. Take note also that upon setting the camera on a macro setting the flower changed its color from pink to orange.

Philippines 111th Independence Day!

Grabbed this Operation 111 from Cecile of by Cecile of Kitchen.... The Heart of Our Home, thanks sis for this one :-)! This is in commemoration of Philippine Independence Day.

"The Philippine Declaration of Independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in the Philippines, where Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo (later to become the Philippines' first Republican President) proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain after the latter was defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. The declaration, in the form of a proclamation, in the presence of a huge crowd, was done on June 12, 1898 at the ancestral home of General Emilio Aguinaldo between four and five in the afternoon in Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit), Cavite, some 30 kilometers South of Manila. The event saw the unfurling of the National Flag of the Philippines, made in Hong Kong by Mrs. Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo and Delfina Herboza, and the performance of the Marcha Filipina Magdalo, as the Nation's National Anthem, now known as Lupang Hinirang, which was composed by Julian Felipe and played by the San Francisco de Malabon Marching band."

:Today's Flowers #43


Got this beautiful yellow chrysanthemum from our church flowers yesterday, these yellow mums are truly a refreshing sight in front of the aisle. We often have this kind and it just varies from different colors like white, yellow and some combination. We also have roses too but yesterday this one caught my fancy.

Need To Get Back!

Lately I feel I’m gaining weight little by little again, maybe because I came back to work a month ago. Some of my friends in the church told me that sitting for a long period of time gets you out of shape. This can be true because working in an office sometimes requires you to stay in your place longer especially if you’re concentrating on finishing some projects.

My mom always reminds me to stand and walk a little at least before an hour strikes on the clock. She said it will help me exercise my limbs a little and free my stomach and hips from being on the same position. Oh well I was thinking maybe I should get a job that will require me to stand and walk for a long time but what kind of job would that be? Or maybe I should try some diet pill to remedy my excess weight faster than I imagined.

There are more ways than one to get back into shape and I know plenty of exercise and balanced meal plan will do justification but the most important of all is discipline. Everything will follow and materialize if I will discipline myself on many things like I should sleep at least 6 hours, I should avoid too much coffee and sweets and I should return to my walking exercises that I used to do. Last is – I should remind myself everyday about this plan.

School Again!

My two girls were back to school again early this week the first day of the month. Though I heard some of the kids nearby were so hesitant to start schooling again Ruth and Gen were so excited that first day. They've prepared their things a week before the classes start and they woke up early to welcome their first day. I always go with them on their first day to see their new school rooms, their classmate friends and their set of teachers. I want their advisers to see how I support my kids. On that morning I get to see my co-parents friends, my friends since my kids were in first grade and we're all intact up to this time. A little sad that we've only two years left to be with each other, before our kids will enter high school. For now we'll just enjoy our company.
