Bat Flowers!

-
Halloween, anyone?

Hubby's on a roll. I thought we were done with the planting for now but apparently, we're not. LOL...which is fine by me. He likes doing it and I like looking at it...weeeee!!! Our yard looks so much better with more plants. Well, actually it's more like the front of the house since most of the new plants are located around that area. He's not done yet. He still has to decide what he wants to plant around the well that's prominently placed in front of the house. I believe he's looking for a certain tree to put there but he hasn't found it yet.

Anyway, one of the flowering plants he brought home are these so-called 'bat flowers'. He saw them at the store but didn't get them right away. He told me about them first and showed the pictures to me online...then he got them the next day. I thought they were a little bigger but not quite. The plants are small and so are the bat flowers. They look like bats though even if they're tiny. The colors are 'Halloween' colors - orange! Just in time for that time of the year...here are a couple of pictures the hubs took a couple of days ago.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL!

ang bilis mong mag respond.parang roving cop hehe. thanks just the same.

re: VCO high in sat fat daw siya. I use it sparingly lang naman regularly sa smoothie or shake. but it's good din daw for cooking and it is a good replacement for canola oil.

hey tuks the EVOO hindi daw siya good pag overheated kasi it easily decomposes and it can generate cancer causing compounds. kaya madalas canola ang recommended nila. apparently, it can not withstand high heat daw kaya good in salads lang daw not for cooking. for cooking if you like olive oil daw go for the regular olive oil and not the extra virgin or canola oil na lang.

ang daming kaartehan. kainis. pareho din naman ang pupuntahan natin hahaha.

You Belong With Me...Little One's Version

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the little one singing with the new Taylor Swift song called: You Belong with Me ... acapella She's a big TS fan right now so that's all I'm hearing around the house lately. The little one's video is far from perfect but I'm a proud Mama. She recorded this all on her own so pardon the little 'booboos/mistakes' she made while recording/singing. Enjoy! If you're not familiar with the song, here's the link to the official video .

Paid Blogging....

 ...is that still even a thing today? I stopped blogging actively several years ago...so now I'm like starting all over again.  I don't even know what to post anymore. A lot has changed since I started this blog in 2008. Yep, that's how long ago it's been. Back then I just wanted to write whatever. I was already a WAHM - Work at Home Mom when I started this blog and that's how my blog title came about. I started doing work-at-home jobs as early as 2002. I had a handful of different jobs I was juggling at that time so blogging was just really something I did during my free time. After a while I did paid blogging. I did that for a few years. I tried to do it as much as I could but my 'real' jobs had to be my priority so my blogging had to take a back seat. In retrospect, that may be the reason why I slowly lost interest in doing it. I tried going back to it every now and then, but the 'mojo' is just not there so I stopped altogether but opted to keep m...
