If you could invite any five people to your birthday party, who would they be?

What birthday has been your favorite so far? What about it made it special?

~ Last last year, celebrated in church with family and church mates

What one thing are you craving today?

~ Fresh green salad

I was thankful that it's actually not so manic today :-) Click the badge to join!

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #62

This is a shot from my view across the plantation of banana, coconut and other crops of Villa Dominga Resort. Clouds were starting to darken here even if it's only 2pm in the afternoon. The sky I took the shot across the conference hall where we held our fellowship service last December. The sky looks so dominating here at it covers the whole scope of the trees as a perfect background for them that suddenly turns to dark ones. I made the shot look like a circular dimension of trees and clouds. Oh I just love playing with my cam when I take shots of the sky. It's lovely looking at the sky here because there are no obstacles. The place is free from cables, wires and tall buildings. All we have there are trees, plants and flowers.

Happy sky watching! Visit more beautiful sky photos just click on the logo above!

:WW - The Headband Babies

Click images to get larger view!

These are Iya and Princess, two lovely babies sporting baby headbands lol! They're second cousins and granddaughters of my first cousins. Sounds like I'm their granny too right? Hahaha Just can't believe I'm already a granny with these two because I'm young for that. It's just that my Dad married late and his sister married young. Anyway my day will not be complete if I hadn't seen these two lovely, cute and pretty babies (hehehe all that adjectives!). You'll agree with me when you see them both! I'm their granny remember!!!

This is again a shot of the sky from Villa Dominga Resort. I took the shot across the conference hall where we held our fellowship service last December. The sky looks very hopeful here with two circle spots of white and pink in the center of the clouds. This shot is different from the other shots I have. While the sky here looks very bright the weather was so cold with dewdrops as early as 4:00 in the afternoon. Just love the sky and the place there perfect for sky watching!

This is a shot of the sky from the beautiful villa we rented last December camp meeting. The sky looks very bright and peaceful as we are also on that day of fellowship.

This shot is from the side of a fourth storey building and the view is across a national highway. What attracted me is the solid formation of the clouds creating a circular motion as if they're going to drop down anytime. A little bit scary if it's stormy day but since it's late afternoon it's understood that the color of the sky is only due to the start of sunset! I will never cease to wonder at the sky, i just love sky watching!

:WW - Sisters at the Camp

Click images to get larger view!

These are some of my sisters in our church and we had fun posing here during our lunch break while our kids are getting ready for their choir presentation. We had a fulfilling 4-day fellowship camp meeting service at Villa Dominga Resort in Indang, Cavite. The weather was so cool because it's beside Tagaytay City and it made us wear layer of clothes at night. For me a cotton jacket is not enough so I brought along my thick cardigans for extra protection from cold.

I have other entry of the ministers' pic at the camp here!

Saturday 9 : Call Me

1. Who is someone that phones you routinely that you never seem to be up to talk to, but you are not ready to push them out of your life?

My former friend.

2. What is something that effects you deeply, to your core, no matter your mood or what else is going on in your life?

Things concerning my family and my churchmates.

3. Tell us of something that relaxes you and always makes you happy.

Long travel with a stop over at a nice restaurant. Travelling gives me time to think and meditate somehow as long as I'm not the one driving lol. Since I can't and I don't want to drive travel relaxes me and it also gave me a chance to my photography hobby, I shot and shot while traveling.

4. If you could take the train from anywhere to anywhere, where would 'anywhere' be?

Anywhere as long as it's heading to countryside and I prefer faraway place. I love long travel!

5. If you could look into the future, how far down the road would you like to see? 10 years? 100 years? A million?

10 years is good enough for me. I don't want to be so futuristic.

6. Did you do your shopping online for this Christmas, how did it go? Did things come in on time? Any significant failures? ...and if you didn't, will you consider trying online shopping sometime this year?

I did all of my shopping offline since most that I need are available in the stores I frequent.

7. What people or projects are worth your time, money or effort?

House and church project are always worth my time. When it comes to family it's always worth my time, money and effort. I'm inspired to work because of them.

8. Think back when you were in high school. Are you proud of the way you dressed, or do you wish you could go back and change it all?

I was pretty happy during my high school days but I'm not so conscious of the way I dressed or the way I look, I'm really a simple person, I care about other things than my looks. I care about sports, music, my poems, my friends, and my grades. I'm not proud or ashamed of my looks but I managed to dress in my own style without so much effort.

9. Do any of your friends, family or co-workers know about your blogs? For those that do, did you tell them or have they stumbled upon it by themselves?

Yes everybody knows my blogs, my officemates, my school friends in all levels, my relatives and my churchmates. I invited them all to visit it. lol!

I'm really fond of sky watching and I'm so glad that I was able to catch some of the beautiful formation of clouds in my digicam. I actually have a big folder full of sky shots and wherever I go I make sure that I have a shot of the sky in every place I go. Clouds differ from where you choose to take your shot and it changes its formation for few minutes. I remember loving one scenic view of the sky and another 15 minutes it was gone, I learned my lesson so when I found a good sky shot I fumble as fast as I can for my cam.

:WW - Family at the Camp

Click images to get larger view!

I'm posting here our family picture at our recent December camp meeting in Villa Dominga Forest Resort where we stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. My kids are fast growing up and in a few more months or years my eldest Ruth (to my right) will be taller than me and her daddy. Gen is growing up fast also but still a baby to me. Anyway we'll always have a smaller kid as Josh is only 6 years old now. More years before he grow up and we'll still have his funny antics all the time! We had great moments in our camp fellowship. Visit the kids' pic at the camp here!

This is a shot from where we usually eat every Sunday after our morning fellowship and the building on pic here is the rented building of our church, well that's the rooftop and we're renting one of their fourth floor units. I just happened to love the clouds formation when we're walking back to the building that even if I had the cables and wires' participation I forego with my shot. It's still lovely to me despite the obstruction. This is a late post because I've been so busy lately. Actually just came back from a whole day swimming in Laguna.

This is my shot of the sky when I went to my daughters' school to assist in their school party. The sky was so clear with soft cotton pure white clouds at the top of one of the houses there. I'm just lucky to spot a place where there's no cables or wire obstructing my view. It was a tiring day for me accompanying my son in their preschool christmas party and visiting my two daughters' school also as parents assisted in the party games of their class. I had a lunch with some of my co-parents there. It was fun indeed!

This is a shot near to my entry last week at the top of the 4-storey residential and commercial building in front of the building where we rent our church venue. It's easier to shoot some sky photos across the building as it's a beautiful frontage of the clouds. The building looks majestic with the clouds almost touching the top. Nice that it's higher than the wires so there's no obstruction for me.

This is a shot from where we had our fellowship service, we're on the fourth floor so I had an opportunity to shoot on a much clearer view free from cables and wires lol! I've taken several shots on this angle but it always give me a different kind of sky view. I'm imagining the clouds wanting to meet at the center! I always have this thing about cloud formation, I'm always imagining objects lol!

Click images to get larger view!

I'm still posting one of my son Josh' pictures in his educational tour 'coz I got hundred of shots :-). Here you can see how he's smiling when the two characters in Enchanted Kingdom posed for a picture with him. Many kids wanted to have these two on their sides but we're lucky enough to catch their attention to stop and pose because they're heading for a whole kingdom walk. They walked the entire vast area of the amusement park after this shot. I'm always wordfull anyway!
