Always in Fashion March has just stepped in and my mind is already thinking of summer break. Looking forward to a change in wardrobe — from shawls and jackets and dark hues to the more breezy and flowy sheers and cotton that reflect the islands in the sun. I draw inspiration from the fabri...

Sensual Pelican Flower Forgive me if i somehow come across having a dirty mind but that is the first thing that popped up when i came face to face, literally (the imposing thing twice the size of my face), with this huge blossom. I was startled, then captivated, filled with wonder at such a rarity...

Cydista, the Garlic Vine If i were crazy enough to believe in aswangs, our version of vampires, i would have this tropical vine decking the perimeter walls of where i reside to ward off nasty blood-thirsty creatures of the imagination. Crushing the leaves of this plant gives you a scent of garlic.…

Summer, Officially Anvaya Cove, Morong, Bataan Summer, officially. In my 2014 personal yearbook, that is. Though our weather bureau PAGASA has not made it official yet, to me it is. It is summer hot and for the first time this year i find myself whisked off by lady luck to a beautiful cove…

All to Myself wooden walkway with trellis At about six-ish in the morning i went for a stroll around the resort we were staying in. It just feels good to have the luxury to soak in the quiet — no tourists, no busy staff — just the humming of birds and the soft greeting of flowers that drop ever so q...

Dainty Clusters Soft and easy on the eyes, these bulbous flowers are huddled daintily like some dance interpretation of lace. So pretty. Again, i do not know what they are — but it does not matter. I noticed, took the time to appreciate them for what they are, and, walked away with the tangible gi...

Good Job, Harbor Point! On a very quick stop over for some necessary items that work day out of town, we dashed to this new shopping mall in Subic.

Thinking of Debutantes & Graduates Am just so happy how these photos turned out. My son (who is graduating from college tomorrow) and i were on some errand late in the morning.

Cassia, Golden Showers It is not cloudy, and there is no chance of meatballs either. Only Golden Showers happening in our neighborhood these days. This tree is almost bereft of leaves. In their stead it graces us with pendulous yellow flowers and legumy seed pods that hang vertically like icicle l...

Flowers on the Table Yes, they are fake. But they sure make the dinner table more inviting. Having fresh flowers on the table everyday, or anywhere in the house for that matter, is certainly a luxury I dream of having. That is why it is the smart Bed and Breakfast owners who maintain flowering...
