I am grateful for the long weekend. It gave me time to browse at the photos I have taken ever since I bought my camera in 2015. Great memories. Some of which were brought by the photos below, taken in Spring 2018. I noticed most of my favorite photos were taken during Spring time. Spring … More Green Shoots. Beautiful Blossoms
Welcome Summer 2018! It’s actually raining in Kansas City on this year’s first day of Summer. We had already seen a lot of summer weather lately so to get a good amount of rain today is great. Tashi and I went for a walk and enjoyed the earthy smell of fresh rain and the sweet smell … More Happy First Day of Summer
It’s an insect-kind-of-day today. Lake Jacomo – same place we go to everyday to take a walk and unwind yet everyday there’s always new things to see. Today, aside from the bunnies, deers, hawks, and prairie dogs, dragonflies and several insects are everywhere too. I told Tashi, dragonflies make me feel like I’m in a … More Insects
Nothing better to get up to the birds chirping and the sun shining. It was a good thing to clean the birdbath last night and pour fresh water in it. I think it attracted the birds and made it their spot for taking a bathe this morning. It was so nice to see them enjoy … More Backyard Bliss
After a couple of months of planning, my niece Urielle is finally here to spend her summer vacation with us. This is her first time to visit the “Show Me State” and Tashi and I are both excited to show her around. She said she wanted to go to the places Tashi and I have … More Urielle’s Visit
I came across these photos while moving them from my phone to my laptop this morning. If you’ll notice, these flowers are either wilted or have lost some of their petals but they are still beautiful. Would you agree? “There is a kind of beauty in imperfection.” – Conrad Hall
Tashi and I celebrated our 11th year wedding anniversary at the luxurious and historic Rivercene Mansion Bed and Breakfast – a perfect place to celebrate love and happiness and at the same time get some rest and relaxation from the busy life in the city. We stayed at the beautiful room of Miss Margaret Kinney. Margaret Kinney-Ravenel was … More Wedding Anniversary Getaway
We had a few showers this morning but Tashi and I, upon my request, went for a walk at the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. It was a good thing that the trails at the sanctuary were covered with mulch and gravel so there was not a lot of mud to worry about while trekking. I love … More Relax. Trek.
It’s my last night in the Philippines and tomorrow I fly back to America. It’s a bittersweet moment again. It’s sad to leave behind my family and friends but at the same time I am excited to go home to Tashi, PoopyBuhda and NinNin. Earlier today my Godchild, L.A. asked me to join her and … More My Misha
It’s party time at the alley! Every year my sister and her neighbors organize a Christmas party at their alley. They prepare food and games for everyone, especially the children. I told my sister I wanted to participate in this year’s party and their activities – games and gift exchange. We had the party last … More Christmas Party at the Alley
