Litratong Pinoy: Jeepney

Ito ang aking lahok sa Litratong Pinoy na may temang Tatak Pinoy.

This is my entry to Litratong Pinoy’s theme Tatak Pinoy.

Nang huli akong magbakasyon sa Pilipinas noong Disyembre 2006, natuwa akong makakita muli ng mga Jeepney. Nang tumira ako sa Sydney, hinahanap-hanap ko ang pagsakay sa Jeepney: ang makukulay nilang hitsura, ang ingay nito, ang pagsabi ng “Para sa tabi” at iba’t-ibang klase ng karakter ng mga drayber.

The last time I vacationed in the Philippines in December 2006, I was happy to see Jeepneys again. When I lived in Sydney, I missed getting on Jeepneys: its vibrant colours, the noise it makes, the way I say “Please pull over” and the different character-types of drivers.

“Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest. ” Ecclesiastes 9:9

I’ve been reading this forwarded email (from my friend Gary) again and again the whole morning and it’s just too good not to share:
A young couple committed to each other often finds marriage to be a lot of work. The first few years are a time of adjustment and compromise, a time to settle the basic issues. Then you may decide to have children, with all the work entails. As your family grows, so do your bills and your work harder and longer.
Don’t let all the issues and the children and the stress destroy the joy that comes with marriage. Never be too busy to enjoy quiet times with your spouse, to laugh or play like the children you once were together. Keep your relationship young and happy. In time, your children will grow up and leave, and once again it will be just the two of you. Will you find that you and your spouse are strangers, or will you greet that time of your life with joy? It all depends on what you do now.
“Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest. ” Ecclesiastes 9:9
Prayer: Father, remind us how to play and how to enjoy being with each other. Help us remain best friends and lovers throughout our lives.

The Way We Were at The Apple Store

One happy camper…

Asaran with the use of Ipod Touch…

Chris started it so I had to retaliate (hehehe)…

Chris tries the Apple TV…

While I got amused with the design of their staircase…

And so I asked for another photograph on the stairs…

While Chris got amused with the gadgets inside the Apple Store, I, on the other hand, got amused by the store’s interiors. Wow pare, anlabo ko talaga! 😛 Although Chris tried his best explaining which is which and each gadget’s features, my attention span was very short. But I did love the iMovie of the MacPro and I look forward to having an iPhone, that’s about it for me (in terms of interest for Apple products)…for now. Siguro konti pang brainwashing ni husband before I can have the same interest as his.
