This is actually a black bonnet but the lighting gave it a blue hue. It's very soft and the tag says it's 57% rabbit hair, 5% wool and the rest are synthetic materials.

My son's skin is so smooth. I guess most children, if not all, have very smooth skin. *sigh*

It rained this morning, as if on cue for today's prompt (^_^)Sunday, November 25, 2007
I had fun teasing you with my sps (^_^) Here's the full photo.
It's just my legs (^_^) And now for my sos.
My Aunt's front lawn covered in leaves, taken on Thanksgiving day.

A pineapple wood postcard I got when we were away on vacation in Hawaii. I didn't send it to myself, I just bought it (^_^)Thursday, November 15, 2007
I was going to show my matryoshka dolls too but Hazel posted hers already so I wanted to do something different instead, for variety.
This is my Candyland pen game. The game pieces hide in that compartment. With that closed, the whole thing is the same length as an ordinary pen.

Just one of the things that I collect - keychains. I guess I have around 300 already which I hang from twines tied to the curtain rod.Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Cutting off my son's old jeans to turn them into shorts. The waist still fits but the length is short for him already.Monday, November 12, 2007
My breakfast which I almost finished without taking a picture!

Cheers!
It's not a jello shot mind you, hehehe. That's me and my best friend right now, my medicine. Thankfully I'm feeling much better. The first day of colds for me is the worst (that was yesterday) so good thing that's over and done with. I guess your well wishes helped too (^_^) Friday, November 9, 2007
I guess that says it all. I hate having colds coz it takes me a long time to recover, everytime!Thursday, November 8, 2007
Ok, I don't really want to expound on this for fear of jinxing it (see how anxious I am?) but they called me last night and we'll be seeing "them" on Saturday.Wednesday, November 7, 2007
I'm not confused about this anymore but I'm sure you will be. Have any idea what it is?
No it's not Cousin Itt from the Addams Family. This is called a Vakul from Batanes, Philippines. It is a woman’s native headgear and covers the head up to the waist to protect the women from the heat of the sun and the rain. It is made from the abaca fiber of the palm found only in Batanes that locals call vuyavuy. They say it takes three weeks to a month to make one of these, but it lasts a lifetime.

Now we're going to focus on emotions but we can't use the human face to reflect that. First up is sad.
This tiny potted plant sits on top of a tall bookcase. I found it lying on it's side already, the pot cracked and very dusty. Just goes to show you I don't pay any attention to their part of the world.Sunday, November 4, 2007
The Schofield Ford Covered Bridge in PA. This was taken last year and was my first time ever seeing a covered bridge.I was tagged by both Angela and Shannon ... does that mean I have to do it twice? (^_^) Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

1. I love anime, ever since I was a kid. Good thing my hubby loves anime too, and our son is an anime fan now as well (^_^) We even have our collection of different anime series and we're still adding to that collection. And I'm so happy now too coz we have the FUNimation channel - 24 hours of anime everyday!!!!!
2. I like playing videogames. I have the PS1 and PS2 consoles and we're saving up for a Wii and either a GameBoy Advance or a Nintendo DS (which I prefer) for my son (but I'm gonna play with it while he's in school).
3. I love being on stage, whether it be dancing, singing or acting, and miss it terribly. But I was fortunate enough to be a part of an all-Filipina cast of The Vagina Monologues that we performed in NY in March and April of this year.
4. When I was 17 and a freshman in college, I became a professional dancer for a primetime TV show in the Philippines. I only did that for a year.
5. There was a time when I tweezed my leg hair. A few would be a little painful to pull out but overall, it wasn't bad - but was very time cosuming.
6. I'm such a movie/tv/commercial critic. Whenever I see something that's not right, not possible, out of place, some minor change, I will see it and make a comment. Little things like for example, in this angle, her sleeve is on the shoulder. But at a different angle, it's not. Most people won't notice that but I do.
7. I keep old letters/notes from friends. Oldest that I have is from 1986. Is that weird? Or am I just being a pack rat.
Now I tag - Bex, Deanne, Kate, Kerry, Louise, Maaike, Pokettiger

My striped face, caused by the light coming in through the blinds. I'm wearing a hoodie here. Friday, November 2, 2007
We don't have our own garden, it's our landlord's so I can't take a picture of that. Besides, we rarely spend time out there.
But this morning I saw these mushrooms - huge ones. This is the largest at a little over 6 inches tall. The other 5 that are spread out near the base of the tree are smaller, maybe between 2.5 and 5 inches. Not sure what they are called but I don't think they're poisonous since I saw a squirrel nibbling on one of them.

Not exactly a creative shot today ...
This is our freezer door and it displays the places we've been to. I try to look for a map of the place we're in like the ones on the right but if that's not available, we'll settle for something else. The fridge door is reserved for my son's alphabet and car magnets. There are still a few on the sides of the fridge but I'm just going to show off this one.
