I have not been blogging lately because I have been busy with so many things like making reviewers for the children’s second trimester exams.
I have not touched my camera for a while but I still take photos using my mobile phone’s camera with poor resolution. My solution? I take advantage of the photo processing apps for my mobile uploads.
Here are my mobile photos posted online.
I’d be clear though, I rarely use post-processing with the photos I publish here except to crop, re-size and put watermark.
Green fish swimming. Except these are not real fish but empty plastic 1.5/2 liters Sprite green bottles. This was done by the eldest child and her classmates with the Greenpeace Volunteers.
What a lovely way to recycle. Or reuse. Huh? I’m confused.
I remember going to a min-concert of a folk singer half a lifetime ago, he said something like this while holding up a bottled water: “This is a healthy thing to do, drink water. In a politically incorrect non-biodegradable container.”
Everyone should learn how to reduce, reuse and recycle (not sure if this is the correct sequence, lol). We start them young in doing the three R for our trash. This reduce, reuse and recycle applies even or especially to people with Surgical Technologist jobs, doctors, teachers, and parents.
We do this at home, segregate our trash. Little things do matter when it comes to caring for the environment.
My Scouts went a-camping last week.
It was the son’s third time to go camping while it was the little girl’s first time to sleep in a tent outdoors.They each had their own sleeping bag, blanket, pillow, not-so-thick jacket and socks to ward off the cold. It wasn’t that cold according to them. Good thing they didn’t bring north face jackets.
Having recovered from two days of low-grade fever, it surely was a welcome relief for the girl to spend time outdoors except we were worried sick ourselves she might have a relapse and thank goodness she didn’t.
I’m guessing we will be having more of these in the years to come.
It looks more like home, doesn’t it?
This is by far the dental clinic that the children love and one they go back to again and again. We’ve been dental clinic shopping several years ago but three of these that we went to are very expensive. This one is less expensive than the three others but gives better service. I’m sure they get discount dental supplies.
The owners are friendly and that definitely is a plus point. In here the children have had oral prophylaxis, tooth extractions and tooth fillings done.
Oh, did I say they clinic sends old fashioned Christmas card via snail mail? Does your dental clinic do that? 
Yes, this is a guava, just in case you’re wondering what that is all about.
I remember the son’s field trip two months ago when I asked several of his classmates to name what this fruit is. I got several answers but the closest thing I got was a calamansi or calamondin.
When I said it is in fact a guava, my son was surprised because he said he knows guavas are big, way bigger than this one. Ack! He is correct in a sense because we buy those big yellow green guavas. The oldest child loves to munch these guava slices. (more…)
