Speaking of ceramic vases, I remember when I was a young girl of around 15, I used to go to my grandparents home and spend weekends there. I travel a little over an hour by bus on Friday afternoons and come back home on Sunday after lunch.

One time, my younger brother went with me. I thought about going to a relative’s place to buy some ceramics, mostly mini vases and figurines, before heading for home.

When we were nearing home, one of the tires of the bus exploded and dark smelly smoke filled the bus.

I grabbed my brother first and amost totally forgot my bag of ceramic vases and figurines. When everything was calm, I went back to the bus and got my bag of goodies. Good thing the ceramics didn’t break.

    Enjoy your Sunday, and hope you can stop by for a visit if you can find time.

    You were very lucky, because a lot of vases are rather delicate.

    Nice mutterings.

    You can find mine ::here::.

    Have a wonderful week!

    Hi Julie. I have a similar experience as yours — I was on a passenger boat and the waves are really huge tossing the boat from side to side. Next thing I knew, a monstrous wave hit our boat and water surged drenching everything and everyone on the boat. There was a commotion – people started panicking and running away – unfortunately, my figurines were crushed.
    Great mutterings, by the way 🙂

    Now this made me remember my first ride in a supercat from Cebu to Bohol when Metro Manila was experiencing a rare Storm Signal #4 (July 2003). The waves were up to the windows of the supercat and it was a good things I played with the bag for those who are sea-sick. I needed that after a few minutes. Ugh. To think we were going to Bohol for the burial of my FIL that time and I was thinking we could be next 🙁

    I’m sorry to learn about your crushed figurines.

    Thanks for the visit.

    Our native tongue, Filipino, is based on Spanish words, Anni because the country was under the Spanish rule for more than 300 years.
