Ordinary Lamp

Hope is patience with the lamp lit.

It's Saturday and time for another Weekly Monochrome.

My two previous post were about butterflies but today I'll change the subject and post something ordinary in our sight.

Lonely Golden Dragonfly

Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky.

Aircraft, Clouds and Sunrise

Whenever a Muslim holiday in ARMM is declared, Iligan City is enjoying it too (even though Iligan is not included in the Autonomous Region).

So Today it's a Friday and it's a Holiday! Yippeee!

Time for my 8th SkyWatch Friday!


I have here photos of my previous travel to Metro Manila again (for the 4th time this past two months) last November 16-18, 2009. And as usual I took another shot of PAL Boeing 737-300 in Cagayan de Oro City Airport before I boarded. So here it is against the blue sky and beautifully scattered clouds.

The next shots are my first two "sunrise shots" @ Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2, taken on November 18, 2009.

I was already boarding my scheduled flight when another PAL aircraft passed by, hurriedly clicked my point and shoot camera before it took off.

Tired but I'm Free

This is how I feel today... So damn tired...

Starting tomorrow, we will enjoy a long-weekend working break. A Muslim holiday tomorrow Friday here in Iligan and on ARMM Regions and on Monday a National Holiday (Bonifacio Day) so that totals a 4-day happy holiday! yippee!

And because of those holidays I was stacked with loads and loads of report today. I was glued on my desk and hypnotized by the computer, I even felt like throwing-up because all I was looking at were numbers, numbers and numbers. But what else can I do but to force myself to work efficiently because that's what I'm paid for.

Luckily, I was a superwoman! I was able to finish my job just in time whew!

Congratulations to me! Tomorrow I'm free to do anything. No work for me for four (4) straight days, isn't it great?

Hard work really does pay-off.

Bridal Veil Waterfalls

I joined another photo meme this week it is called Watery Wednesday. This site/meme features photos that implies or shows anything related to life's essential element WATER.

So as my first post, I'm sharing here a photo from the City of Waterfalls that I have taken the other week. If I'm not mistaken this is called the Bridal Veil Waterfalls.

(Photo shot using Canon 1000D, Sigma 18-250 Lens)

This short water falls will have a full water plunge just like a "bride's veil" if the hydro-electric power plants along the Agus River will release water from their reservoir. My husband and I went there a bit late I guess the opening of dam gates were reduced so this is what I got.

The 36.5km length Agus River flows from Lanao Lake to Iligan City Bay along the river you will also find the famous geogrphical landmark of Mindanao the Majestic Ma. Cristina Waterfalls (I don't have the latest photo yet, I'll have it posted as long as I got one).

That's it a little Trivia for you.



Oh I included this too on Outdoor Wednesday Photo Meme.




Have A Nice Wednesday!

Christmas Spirit and Golden Balls

Wish you all A Merry Christmas,
May the Joys of the season
Fill your heart with goodwill and cheer.
May the chimes of Christmas glory
Add up more shine and spread
Smiles across the miles,
To-day & In the New Year.
-Rosie Cash

31 days before Christmas, and the lively spirit is all over the world!

White Lantana

My 8th photo for Today's Flower is a White Lantana.


This perennial flower plant belongs in herbaceous and shrubs plant species. The flowers formed in clusters called umbels (consist of short flower stalks) and has an aromatic scent.

I had the same flower posted before, but this time I found an all white variety. I can't resist to capture its beauty.
