Matchbox Ford GT

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is METAL.

One of my son’s newer addition to his toy collection, a Matchbox Ford GT toy car. He doesn’t really get this brand since he likes another toy brand more than this but he could not resist not having a Ford GT. Who wouldn’t?

Matchbox toy cars, like the other toy cars being sold like this Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X which is my other entry, are made of die-cast metal

Here is a real Ford GT, my very first Photo Hunt entry, if I remember it right.

Sipa, a Philippine Native Sport

I have never learned how to play this game called SIPA, the Philippines national sport. This requires agility and speed which I know nothing about.

Perhaps because I was a bit clumsy as a child who never learned how to to do jump rope moves not jump on Chinese garter being played during recess nor ride bikes, I wasn’t able to “master” games that require some physical prowess.

Sure I excelled in playing Jacks and running after friends in a game of “Tagged, You’re It” but that is the extent of how sporty I was.

I bought this toy for my children to play with but alas, they too are awkward about how to execute the moves. How would they know if I can’t teach them the moves.

I hope they can figure out a way on how to do this or I better ask hubby to demonstrate his moves, if he can still do these things 😀

Reflection on the Moat

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is REFLECTION.

This is my other entry.

I decided to post a photo of these ducks standing on a piece of a Styrofoam board that I saw floating on the moat at the entrance of Fort Santiago which I earlier featured here.

They are cute, aren’t they?

I am not sure though what kind of ducks these are. Ducks are not that common here in the Philippines, especially in the urban areas. I remember one of my grandmothers had a small pond where white ducks and some geese would swim when the weather is hot. I wouldn’t go near these though because the geese would always run after me.

It’s Like History

We had a lunch picnic last Sunday. We took a lot of photos. Hubby tried to capture the trees around us in black and white.

When we were looking at the photos, one of my kids said “It’s like history” referring to the black and white photos.

Here is a sample of one of the photos that he referred to:

Yes, this photo reminds people about the past, when we, as children, loved to run around, climb trees, sweat it out and play games with our friends.

Children these days have it differently. Continue Reading »

Glamour Girls Alexa’s Flower

My MIL gave this to my eldest daughter for her to be able to arrange her stuff and avoid having these just lying on her table.

Glamour Girls Alexa’s Flower

Glamour Girls Alexa’s Flower.

This is made of wires that were twisted to form a flower. On the wires, hair clips, photos, pins and other knick-knacks can be put either as storage or for decoration.

I expected my daughter to get excited with this one and use it right away with her mess stuff. The wire frame has been untouched since it was given last September. I may need to be more assertive with this, I think.
