OUR BUNSO’S PAPER CLAY OUTPUTS

earlier this week, he bought a pack of paper clay that looks like marshmallows. at first i really thought it was a marshmallow and had a tendency to take a bite of it… actually that night, after i ate my dinner, he showed me his first masterpiece which was the panda, then a day after he did the beagle which was our mom’s request.

then after several days, he bought again another pack of the paper clay thingy, which is actually made out of white paper - a recycled material - japan product i think? then he painted the others so that it could give life to the structures rather than the first where he used pentel pen for coloring - which was not a good idea.

our bunso is really the artistic one among the 3 of us. he loves to draw (alot) more on to animals, doing stuffs like this, making animal shapes out of threads/yarns and many more, actually he’s already 17, even though these are kinda childish for his age, well i’m still a proud KUYA! he’s the only that can do this, i’m not artistic at all :P

CavitExplore: GEN. TRIAS, Cavite

Originally named after its Patron Saint, Francis of Assisi, 1181-1226, the municipality of General Trias was founded in December 13, 1748. The original name of the town was changed to General Trias in honor of Gen. Mariano Trias (1868-1914), by virtue of a law fathered by Emilio P. Virata during his term as representative of Cavite, 1919-1921.

It has a land area of 81.46 square kilometers. As of today, there are a-lot of housing projects here, in this municipality, and there still have many vacant lots.

NEW YEAR’S CATERPILLAR

before the turn-over of the year, earlier of the 31st of December, our helper’s kid was terrified when he saw one of these crawling on one of our plant box and came inside the house to get the attention of her mom, then ours. actually, when he said he saw one, that’s our cue to look for more, ‘cause for the past months our garden was infested by these before, but they were not given a chance to live long enough to be a full grown moth/butterfly. caterpillar/larvae still always a prey for monster birds or “maya’s”

surprisingly, after scavenging for other caterpillars, they were 4 that time, 2 dark red (that looks scary though), and 2 green ones. i think they portray different kinds part of the plant as part of their camouflage.

and after several days, actually around 2 days after, there is this 1 green left, and maybe others didn’t survive or been eaten by the mayas. in fact, on the 1st of January we found a red/orange one dead already and out of the plant where it was found/eating.

we kept the only one left and put it in safe container, and keep observing the life cycle of the caterpillar, and identifying if it is a moth or a butterfly. we it the change color from green to dark yellow-with black on top, and now it turned to a cocoon or pupa.

we did a research earlier, that this kind of critter is a caterpillar of moth - a OLEANDER HAWK MOTH

GLOOMY SKY FOR A RIDE

so yesterday, we celebrated Christmas day in MOA, but the first thing i noticed was their new attraction which is that big ferris wheel near seaside. well its my first time to see it, and i didn’t know that they have this already, maybe its been a long time that i’ve never been to MOA? but unfortunately, i didn’t had a chance to ride that, because we changed venue from MOA to SM Bacoor, due to the blockbuster cinema-goers. and also, i’m afraid of heights.

sadly, yesterday was not that bright day at all :’(

iskatershots, Christmas 2011, RF,

bente-dos sa bente-tres

nagsimula ang kahapon ng alas-dose ng madaling araw, kung saan hindi pa ako natulog ng maaga hanggang umabot ang ala-una kung saan napagdesisyonan kong matulog dahil magsisimba gabi pa kami. alas-dose palang ay sunod-sunod nadin ang mga pagbati sakin sa iba’t-ibang micro-blogging site at social networking sites.

pulang shirt - para halatang may birthday…

bumangon sa kama ng saktong alas-tres para maghanda sa pagsimba, ginising ang aming helper na kasama ko sa pagsimba, hanggang unti-unti nading nagising ang aking mga kapamilya na may kasamang pagbati-kiss-and-hugs (na mas kailangan ko sa stressful Christmas season ko…)

alas-4 nadin nung nakarating ng simba, nag-uumpisa na ang misa, kaya naman sa labas na lamang kami ng simbahan at nakatayo, sadyang madaming tao talaga kapag simbang gabi (simbang tabi)

hindi ko ding inaasahan na may mga kabatch ako na bumati sakin ng happy birthday at merry christmas mula sa madla —- salamat!

pagkatapos ng misa, dumarecho kami sa gilid sa tindahan ng mga puto-bumbong at bibingka, bumili ng ilan para may konting handa at tumawad ng konti

kung ang puto bumbong ay nagkakahalaga ng Php15 isang balot, nakabili ako ng 7 sa halagang Php100 lamang, libre ng Php5
at sa bibingka - Php80 each, pero nakabili ng Php150 dalawa, libre Php10

pumunta ng palengke sa pwesto para maghatid ng simpleng handang puto bumbong at bibingka, at manghingi din ng pera pambili ng inipit para sa gift-giving sa hapon (PAMANA EXTENDED)

pagkatapos mamili ay kailangan naman mag-almusal, breakfast @ McDo with ate Nita…

pagkauwi namin, natulog muna ako mula 7am hanggang 10am (puro 3 hours lang ang tulog ko), nagready naman ako para sa gift-giving, hinanda ko na ang tarp at inipit at mga ireregalo…

bandang ala-1, andyan na ang mga bata sa labas, at tinawagan ko nadin si kapitan para papuntahin nadin yung ibang mga kabataan

halos alas-3 nadin natapos ang aming gift-giving, kaya naman pagka-uwi eh, nagpalit lamang ng damit para naman pumunta ng SM at nagshopping kasama si mommy (namili para sa mga customers namin ng souvenirs)

pero bago umalis kumain muna ako ng spaghetti ng kaunting handa na niluto ng aking mommy at ate nita

sa SM, ayun madami ding nakitang kakilala, at ang super dami ng tao, buti nga hindi ako nahilo. at ayun syempre nagpabili din ako ng shorts from HUMAN

tapos bago kami umuwi nagbayad muna ako sa GCASH para sa pinurchase kong FILED 2012 planner, yun nga lang iniwan na ako nila mommy, dahil super tagal ng service, kesyo insufficient fund daw sila kahapon. talagang ang tagal ng service, nakausap ko na nga yung SK Kagawad ko, isang Konsehal ng bayan sa pila.

pagka-uwi ko naman may additional na handa, may litsong manok plus barbeque…

bago ako umuwi galing SM, tumawag ang Regional VP ng JCI Cavite-West na pipick-upin na niya yung mga donations galing sa iba’t-ibang chapters para sa mga nasalanta ng bagyong Sendong sa CDO

at biglang nang-udyok ang aking kapatid sa daddy ko na bumili ng pizza, kaya naman powerful siya eh, dagdag na handa nanaman MONSTER MEAL ng Shakey’s

burp! SUPER BUSOG talaga, dami food!

(a simple birthday of Iskaterpilar…)

KOMIKON 2011

So last Saturday, I went to KOMIKON 2011 at Bayanihan Center-Unilab ~ ALONE. Even-though I have a partner from the first, but he had a commitment for his project. Fortunately I saw some former schoolmates who were there also and a comic fanatic, so i tagged myself along with them.

actually this was my first KOMIKON EVER!, there were lots of Komikon invites before and it passed me during my College days, but this was the time i’m already available and a sure fan of Filipino Komiks, especially to TRESE and FILIPINO HEROES LEAGUE

the main reason here why i really want to go to this event, well not just only to meet and greet the creators and authors, ‘cause they announced that this will be the launching of FHL book 2, and i really want to have a copy of TRESE book 4 autographed like my 1st and 2nd book by Budj Tan and Kajo. but unfortunately Paolo Fabregas himself told me that the next book of FHL will be released next year, but well I got the chance to have a lil chit-chat with him…

and right then, i’m able to avail the SKYLORD series, which is one i really want to buy after researching about ALAMAT komiks/group, and so much excited for its last series/book next year.

sadly, i had insufficient fundings that day, so even though i want to buy other stuffs and komiks, like the indie-komiks… to support our artist friends, well there will be another KOMIKON next year, and i will make sure to have lots of money then…

so let us support Filipino Komiks!
