Shadows Everywhere

   

      Urgh! It's been raining for the past three days! The ground is soaking wet! But I will thank the rain for watering our plants so that I will not water them every afternoon. I already miss the sun. We miss our daily activities with the sun especially my little boy he's a very active boy loves to play on a sunny day even though its really hot outside, he loves driving his toy car on our backyard and chase the chickens. Throwing rocks on the ground or just running back and forth to the house. I miss taking pictures of the sun I have to wear a sunglasses only to take a picture of it. I kinda miss that days hanging out with Mr. sun. I took this photos a week ago I think when the sun is really out, blue sky is out, clear skies and hot outside.
      What about you? What activities do you like when the sun is out?

BULLYING

 

     I decided to write this post on behalf of me and my cousin and to all those who suffered from bullying. It can happen anywhere, whether in school or outside the school. Bullying can happen only once or it can happen many times that's the scariest thing that could happen in every one of us. I'm not suffering bullying right now because I can handle myself about it. My story is back when I was in grade school. I know the feeling of being bullied in school it happens to me a couple of times. I experienced a physical and verbal bullying but thank God it never go to serious situation like other bullies do. He always teases me with some hurtful words and instead of calling me by my name he always calls me a "pig" or "ugly" I know I'm fat but it doesn't mean that I'm not getting hurt by the way he calls me. Sometimes when our teacher is out he will come to me just to annoy me, wobble my chair until I fall down and pull my hair. I'm not the only one who's been bullied by him even in other class he just bullied someone who he sees. Its like his past time on bullying someone. But the time has come to stop his bullying and someone stood by and have the guts to complaint to our teacher. After that complaint his been kick out of school and all the students including me has been really happy about it, where finally free from him.
     The story of my cousin is different from mine. She's been bullied by her classmate also but it is a girl. My cousin is in grade school right now and she's one of the top ten students of her class, she worked hard to make it to the top ten. When her classmate, the girl that's been bullying her did not include in the top ten so I think the cause of bullying is jealousy because my cousin told me that since grade one that girl is always at the top ten and this time she is not included. She also recruit some fellow students to bully my cousin. It happen a week then my cousin can't take it anymore and decided to suicide. She's not in a serious suicide but she got some slashes in her wrist, she told her friend that she will commit suicide that's the time my aunt know what happened because my cousin's friend texted my aunt about what happen. So I hope that my cousin will overcome her emotion about it and become better before the graduation. And I hope that someone will be responsible for what happened.
       Some of us that has been experienced bullying can handle the situation like me, some of us can't. I hope those who bullied learned their lessons because karma is just around the corner and it can strike anytime. Let's pray for those who suffered from bullying may they overcome their situation and always be strong no matter what happens.

Sunday is Family Day

My cousins> JAM, BEA and MARIAN

This is one of my uncle's home made cookin today. Adobong Pusit or Small squid with soy sauce and chili pepper. Yum...Yum...

        Sunday is always a family day. We talk, we laugh, we ask how's your weekend and most of all we eat bunch of food. My grandma goes to market early in the morning to buy some ingredients for our sunday lunch and mu uncle always bought his home made cooking. Its really good! He bought fried fish, adobong pusit, gulay na gabi and for dessert he made a buko pandan (a young coconut mix with cream, condensed and a pandan flavor jelly). My mouth is watering right now. I only eat the adobong pusit cause we only eat it when squid is available in the market and of course it has to be fresh, we don't want to eat a putrid squid for sort decayed. Sometimes there's no available squid in the market and sometimes its pretty expensive. Food is always the center of attention to our family cause who doesn't want to eat delicious food? Right?! We like start chatting during lunch time and ended at past 1 o'clock in the afternoon. We always say goodbye with smiles and we don't forget to say Thank You to each other before we part ways. Its always a good feeling being with the ones you love. Am I right?! 

                  What's your Sunday like?

Avocado Tree

     Yesterday while Im sweeping our backyard I notice that there are little flowers. I look up and saw our avocado trees are starting to flower. We have three avocado trees in our backyard and when they produce fruits its really impressive. They are creamy, melts in your mouth kinda thing. We don't use it as guacamole, when we eat avocado we just half them, remove the seed and put a little or a lot of sugar from it or sometimes when Im not lazy I slice the avocado in cubes, pour some milk, add a little sugar and there you have it avocado with milk. It really tastes delicious and yummy especially when its cold. God I miss eating avocado fruit. I can't wait to see them produce their fruit, then we have to eat them! Of course we have to hire someone who can climb those trees cause their really tall. The trees only fruit once a year when spring season comes and I think by summer the fruits will come out and we have to harvest them. Yelp! We are lucky to have this trees planted in our backyard cause like I said they produce such quality and we don't have to buy at the market when their season comes. It's quite expensive. :)) I will just wait for them to fruit and its picture time for them. Yep!

XOXO
