Water Pollution

My other entry about still beautiful trash can be found here.

trash in Manila Bay

Manila Bay is said to be a place where magnificent sunsets can be seen. I have not been there for that particular time of day though.

When we went to visit the place a few months ago, we were disappointed to see trash, especially plastic bags, disposable cups and plastic bottles thrown IN the water.

Deplorable acts!

25 Photos

These photos were for a photo scavenger hunt (different from the Saturday Photo Hunter meme that I participate) that I plan to join but was not able to.

Some photos included were taken by my 13yo daughter.

1. A View from Above (looking down)

2. A Macro Shot

Sunflowers are very bright and lovely flowers

3. Laughter

Going down a slide is pure happiness

4. Relaxation

A respite and shade from the noon heat

5. A Celebration

Christmas, ‘tis the season of joy and love.

6. A Sunset

Cityscape sunset

7. Sun/Lens Flare

Sun flare being blocked by a big leaf

8.  A Bridge

Would you dare cross that hanging bridge? No, there are no crocodiles lying in wait just in case you fall down but then, that would double the fun, wouldn’t it? (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)

9.  A Shadow

Wouldn’t you know, it is almost high noon but because of the shadows cast by the trees, this road is quite shady and still cool for a walk.

10.  A Garden

My MIL‘s home garden (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)

Fresh Pineapple Juice

Succulent lechon ribs can be had over here at the home of Lasang Pinoy Sundays 🙂

For the juicy = succulent combination, here is fresh pineapple for a lot of nutritional love:

Why settle for something that came from a can loaded wth sugars when you can have it natural and fresh?

Tokwa’t Baboy

They are one: tokwa’t baboy. One perfect combination especially served with spicy soy sauce. Nomnomnom!

But wait…where is the baboy?

tokwa't baboy

Where is the baboy then? It is under the pile of tokwa, hidden.

Why? Because the pork strips were hideous, all fat. Ugh. I don’t know if it is because i haven’t eaten nor ordered this for a loooong time but then hubby said to never order this again. Ok.

This should have been an entry for my resto-rant LaPiS entry which incidentally happened two weeks ago so this can’t possibly qualify.

Monday Morning Blah

Monday is not a day that I really look forward to, especially when I feel I still have to rest more.

Monday means work, homeschooling and yes, more work.

On the other hand, Monday means weekend is something to look forward to and this weekend, I intend to have more fun with the family 😀

yellow flower

So in order to make my day (and perhaps your day too) brighter, I decided to post this beautiful flower photo.

The flower made me smile and felt better 🙂

Jollibee Amazing Aloha

STRIPS for June 28 Lasang Pinoy Sundays.

A dressed-up Jollibee yumburger: two patties, some greens, a slice of pineapple, a piece of square cheese and strip(s) of bacon.

Hmmm…langhap sarap! People would generally say.

jollibee aloha burger

No thanks, though. Burgers and the like + me don’t agree well.

Happy Sunday! 🙂
