Adam's (Ria's son) bus moving around our office so as he... 

just good enough to lighten up the atmosphere at the office... 

(✿◠‿◠) 

120/366 of 2012 (042912) PIPAY'S ANTICS

I got second thoughts on posting this photo for I might be reported to PAWS. But before you do, please read this first...Pipay (that's her name, for she was born on Rizal's Day) DID THIS TO HERSELF, not once but this is the second time already; and once she cannot pull herself out of the jar, she will seek help from us; the first time she did that, she banged the jar on our door, as if someone's knocking; so Nanay opened the door and saw Pipay with this plastic jar.

The second time, Jayson saw and laughed at her, so she run inside the house and tried to climb our stair - maybe to seek help from Ryza and that was it, Ryza saw her and removed the jar from her head...

119/366 of 2012 (042812) UNO

The girls, Ryza &Kyla, had fun playing UNO with their uncle Jayson,

because, they always win over him..

118/366 of 2012 (042712) OBSERVE CLEANLINESS

It might be working now since there are less students this summer; 

Let's see if this will be followed once the regular semester comes...

— at Bpsu (Main Campus).

117/366 of 2012 (042612) CRUSHED ICE

Since kids are at home 

and with the heat we are experiencing, 

my ice crusher is overworking... 

kids love to do their own "halo-halo" 

116/366 of 2012 (042512) A PEEP

Caught this when I got home this afternoon. 

115/366 of 2012 (042412) LEAVES OF A LEAF

Just saw this unusual plant at Nanay's garden. 

We don't even know its name. 

Look, its leaf has leaves on it...

114/366 of 2012 (042312) 45th

Got no photo for today, 

i just processed an old photo of my parents 

who supposed to be celebrating their 45th Wedding Anniversary today 

but unfortunately Tatay is not here anymore... 

I intentionally did not greet or mention the significance of this date to my Nanay 

because, I don't want her to think about it anymore... 

113/366 of 2012 (042212) LATO

Similar or maybe a type of seaweed... 

it was my first time to eat one... 

what's good about travelling is 

you have all the opportunity 

to try your FIRSTS without hesitations...

112a/366 of 2012 (042112) TARSIER

That's the plural form of tarsius (learned that from our multi talented guide). 

It was my first time to see this mammal which are cute but sometimes creepy...

My kids want me to bring home one..

112b/366 of 2012 (042112). LOBOC MUSICIANS

People in Bohol are very fond of music (but we hardly saw a KTV bar, what an irony). In Loboc River, musicians will greet you with their very high spirited and lively tune; but what struck me was while they were playing their guitars, this one looks sad and empty... i wonder what was on his mind... 

111/366 of 2012 (042012) TAGBILARAN's TRAYSIKOL

One of the famous mode of transportation in the country is also present in Bohol, 

what is peculiar to these, is the structure and what is printed on them. 

According to our tourist guide, all of their "traysikol" bear Bible phrases 

to signify their love of their religion... 

110/366 of 2012 (041912) MAGELLAN'S CROSS

The first time i took a photo of this in the late 90s, the film was exposed, 

so i lost all the pictures then... now, i got one again 

buti na lang hindi na film ang gamit ko...

109/366 of 2012 (041812) TERMINAL 3

It was my first time to be at NAIA Terminal 3, 

one of the controversial airport terminals, known for its "below standard" facilities...

but in fairness and in comparison with Terminal 1, it's more presentable to the travelers...

108/366 of 2012 (041712). PACKING CHALLENGE

I started packing; 

the challenge was to put ALL my things (good for almost 5 days)

 in 1 back pack because we're travelling "lite" 

and with no check in baggage... 

107b/366 of 2012 (041612) DOOR HANDLE

Our Philippine history was reviewed this morning as we were toured at the Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar.

And while the tour guide was giving us the history of each house, i just thought that these door handles had been touched by some famous FIlipinos and had witnessed all the glorious as well as the most intriguing moments of those who had lived there.

107a/366 of 2012 (041612) IMPROVISED ANCHOR

I had set my feet again in the beach - i love the beach, the boat ride and the sunset; and while taking photos of the sunset (actually it was not yet setting), I saw this improvised anchor, so my attention was shifted to this one...

106/366 of 2012 (041512) GRINDING

Have you ever tried to sleep with grinder at work in the background? 

I bet you will also get irritated by its sound and you'll hardly fall asleep.

Result: Take some photos of it...

(◡‿◡✿) 

105/366 of 2012 (041412) SLIDE & ZIP

We've been to a resort today, i guess this is the start of resort hopping this summer...
La Vista Inland Resort offers this long slide in which on top of it is a zip line. But there something wrong in this one which became funny for the swimmers in the pool below - the one on the zip line sometimes got stuck in the middle of the line, and another will zip to get her.
— at La Vista Resort, Balanga, Bataan.

104/366 of 2012 (041312) SUNSET (again)

I really love sunset...

i almost miss this one

so i took

a quick snap shot...

—at Calaguiman Samal Bataan. 

103/366 of 2012 (041212) BUMBLE BEE

My companion for the moment since everybody in the office went out - 

others are in the field, while others are at the training. 

It's a sight on my table; and when toddlers visit our office, 

they definitely find this amusing...

— at BPSU RDO. 

102/366 of 2012 (041112) FVS

Glad to have sneaked out of the office this afternoon, 

since there was power failure... 

and more glad to have invited by my sister for a FVS 

- french vanilla shake...

101a/366 of 2012 (041012) BPSU GRADUATES

"Graduates, your mountains are waiting for you, 

conquer them and your BPSU family will be praying for you..." 

-Dr. Delfin O. Magpantay, BPSU President

— at La Vista Resort, Balanga, Bataan.

101b/366 of 2012 (041012) DOCTORAL TAM

Will I ever wear one in the future???

100/366 of 2012 (040912) OUR BUTTERFLY

I told you, butterflies have special meaning to us, 

especially this kind. I woke up this morning by Ryza's commotion over something...

"Ma, me bisita tayo, kagabi pa yan eh... nakitulog din dito...kunan mo na ng pic" 

I don't know why it's here - there's no occassion, 

only that the kids are all sleeping together since it's their vacation. 

99/366 of 2012 (040812) COLOR YOUR LIFE

It's Easter Sunday; 

kids got nothing to do 

but DOODLE & COLOR...

98/366 of 2012 (040712). BLACK SATURDAY

Today, Christ was laid into tomb and by the fire that was lighted, the easter vigil started... baptism vows were renewed, candles were lighted amidst the total darkness...

97/366 of 2012 (040612). PIETA

It is one of the scenes during the Good Friday's procession 

which I love most... 

Not only it depicts Jesus' love to us 

as well as Mary's role as a loving mother to Him...

96/366 of 2012 (040512). OLDEST BELL(?)

This caught my attention while we're having our visita iglesia, 

a bell at the entrance of St. Catherine of Sienna Parish Church in Samal 

which is undergoing restoration (i guess) that's why the bell was brought down. 

The church was established in 1526...

 

95b/366 of 2012 (040412). GETHSEMANE

"An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him." (Luke 22:43). 

One of the scene in tonight's procession.

95a/366 of 2012 (040412) MERYENDA

It supposed to be a fasting week; 

but if you have kids like Kyla &Ryza

(yes, especially Ryza, who gets sick when she cannot find food

in the fridge or our pantry) 

you have to prepare or find some for them....
