Watery Wednesday: Periwinkle

For this week's Watery Wednesday, I'm sharing photos of my periwinkle plant. She looked so hydrated after the rain. This was taken a couple of months back.

And this is (or was) her last night :( Seven naughty naughty caterpillars ate all the leaves and found refuge in her . Oh well, I guess my only consolation is the fact that they will turn into pretty butterflies eventually.

This is a late post for Vday but I am wont to share this anyway. This is for my parents who have been married for 36 years now and recently celebrated their wedding anniversary on… oh yeah… February 14. Until now I can’t figure out what went through their mind, getting married on Valentine’s Day. Cheesy, wouldn’t you say?

Because of that, I never got on a date on Feb 14 since it’s always a celebration of their wedding anniversary. They have always been our date ever since :0 No worries, I’m not a romantic anyway. I’ll leave romanticism (and cheesiness) to my parents. 

 

That’s not to say that their marriage was made in heaven. Hardly ever, if I may say so. 

They have their share of ups and downs, misunderstandings, trials left and right. I have been witness to that but I believe in the end their natural love for each other and their children kept them together after all these years. I just know that their love for us, their children, and their constant effort to give us the most normal and most sane life as best they could keep them together. We kept them bounded I guess, and they kept bounded for us. I adore my parents, both papa and mama and I will always be grateful for them for the many things - tangible and intangible – they have given us. I guess most especially how they taught me the commitment every parent should make in order to make a marriage last a lifetime and to keep the family together and how to place God in the center of every relationship.

p.s.: I celebrated Vday differently, I'll share that in a different Post. 

Mommy Moments - Orange

Here are random pics with orange, my share for this week's mommy moments. Glad to be back :()

  Sam in his orange tie-dye shirt

A candy house Sophie, Sam and I made from clay. Sam helped roll the clay into balls while Sophie and I made the more complicated shapes :)

Sophie in a shirt with touch of orange. The photo was taken in EK on her first Rio Grande ride. She loved the ride but doesn't like it anymore when she got wet

New Toy, Such a Cutie :)

My new phone :) Got this last month through Smart Wireless SM North Annex.
It pays to be a postpaid subscriber because for one, you can avail of free phones with subscription renewal every two years. I think this is my 5th or 6th free phone from my monthly subscription, the other I paid minimal amount so I can get a higher end unit that's not totally free with my plan. All I have to do in order to get my new unit is to update my payment.
What I love about this phone: it's a touch phone which helps me get oriented with this technology. It's user friendly, with icons for Google, Apps and you can switch between QWERTY and keypad. I haven't used a regular keypad for 2 years now so it's QWERTY for me. What I'm not so hot about this phone: it's a basic phone, 1.3 MP camera, no office apps like Word, Excel or PowerPoint for my reports which is what I love my Nokia phone. But I'm not complaining, this is a a welcome blessing :)
