LP - Amoy

AMOY - FRAGRANCE

Ang unang dumating sa isip ko pagkakita ko sa tema ay PERFUME. Pero wala naman akong collection ng mga bote ng perfume. Kaya naisip ko ang pwede gamitin mag gawa ng perfume - ANG BULAKLAK!

The first thing that came to my mind when i saw theme was PERFUME. But i don't have a collection of perfume bottles so i thought of one of the basic ingredients in perfumery - FLOWERS!

Ang mga bulaklak na ito ay kuha ng anak ko doon sa Sarangani Highlands, General Santos City.

These flowers were all taken at the Sarangani Highlands in General Santos City. The ones that has the nicest smell is the one inside the round jar and the one in the middle. If i am right, the one in the middle is called Sangumay. That has a very lovely scent.

I wish that all flowers smells like how they look. :)

Maligayang LP sa lahat!

LP - Ma (Sinop)

(Ma) sinop - economical, thrifty


FILIPINO EXPLANATION:

Hindi pala mura magpakasal. Hindi rin pala mura mag organize ng mga events. Kaya the mga litrato na ibahagi ko sa inyo ngayon na araw ay aming version sa tema na masinop or being economical. Pasensya na di ko ma translate word for word ang sumusunod na paragraph pero alam ko na maintindihan rin ng lahat.

ENGLISH EXPLANATION:

The other month, while coordinating a renewal of vows ceremony (just equivalent to wedding ceremony) I realized that it is so tiring to plan and coordinate a wedding. Thinking back of the stuff we prepared and made, i then too realized that it is not cheap to be wedded. We just made the invitation, the give-aways, and even the certificates.

- each costs P11.00 only. -


- the result after filling it with some flowers and crystal stones -


- and this is what we made for the sponsors-

If we have ordered these stuff then we would be spending around 50 pesos each (maybe) but since we made it ourselves, It only costs us 21 pesos each.


- the invitation -


- the certificates - (lovingly made by the officiating minister who came all the way from Seattle Washington).

In this institution where I am in, we often have get together activities that calls for special meals or even just a simple meal. Simple meals, if ordered outside and it is to be served to almost 40 people, then it costs a lot. So to save money, we often cook just our food here in our kitchen. One unique thing about our administration in this campus is that, we have our own kitchen. During the 15th anniversary, we have saved so much because we cooked our own food.

- 30 kilos of bangus -


- 12 kilos of this for lunch for those who helped in the cooking -


- days before the day of cooking, the dry ingredients were all ready.

I think that doing things on our own costs us a lot of time but it also let us save a very big amount of money. We could have easily ordered it out for comfort and convenience but it was way cheaper if we do it on our own. Thanks to the bayanihan spirit, we all had a wonderful evening (enjoyed the program and the food) during the night of Renewal of Vows and also during the 15th anniversary program.

LP - Maagap

MAAGAP (Quickness)

Ang mga hulagway ko ngayon ang mga "something to remember" objects. Isang araw, gusto ko kumain sa isang fastfood restaurant dito sa aming lugar at ang numero na yan ay ang order number ko. Nakalipas ang sampong minutes, lumapit ang isang waiter at sinabi na ang isang order ko ay wala raw. So sinabi ko ok lang alisin nalang yong wala at patuloy yong ibang order. Isang sampung minutos ulit lumipas at sinabi naman na naubos ang supply ng "ano" - ay ewan. Sabi ko sa babae - cg nalang. Kunin ko nalang pera ko. Di na ako nagutom so di nlang ako kakain.

Sa tingin ko di sila maagap magbigay ng tamang serbisyo sa kanilang mga customers. Inisip ko nalang na di naman siguro ganun lagi kasi minsan din ako kumakain sa lugar na yon. Sa akin lang dapat nung nag order pa lang ako sinabihan na ako agad na di available ang particular order ko. At least the 20 minutes was not wasted because i took these photos. Siguro i was fated not to eat that time para mabawas ang timbang ko.

Bago ako umalis, kinuhaan ko nalang ng hulagway ang colored seat. Yong ibang kulay kunan ko sana pero dapat akong umalis agad bago ako commento ng masakit dun sa waitress. :)

At ito naman - pag ang sanggol ay gutom, sila ay maagap maka ubos ng kanilang dede. :)

----------------
Note:

It took me sometime to understand the word "maagap." I still have to check the dictionary and there were several meanings i read last night. The thing that stayed in my mind was the "quickness" so these photos shared here depicts my point on quickness.

LP - Tamad (Lazy) & RT

This is how the back of my bedroom door looks like if i get lazy decluttering my room. I feel it's not a nice trait for a lady. lol!
