Last night’s research on several health issues like tuberculosis, viral diseases and bacterial diseases for a Biology project of my daughter was interrupted by reading a deluge of angry status updates of blogger friends who blog about the food they cook.

I knew I shouldn’t have opened my FB to take a peek.

Over at Facebook, my food blogger friends (and I) are furious about a scraper / plagiarist posing as a chef who just copies recipes and photos of others and posting them as his own creation. His titles are: “MY ________________” when in fact, it was “my copied recipe (verbatim) and photos”

Hmph!

Of course he wouldn’t be the first one to do that because there have been others.

Today’s sunset seems to be very special. First, I commented that somewhere out there people have wonderful sunset sky scenes.

Little did I know that my son who stayed at home with me today took the camera and went out to take photos. I only knew about it when he came back to the house carrying the tripod on his way out again 😀

Here is our sunset photo a few hours ago. Here are other sunset photos in this blog.

Several people took sunset photos and shared these in a site where my friends and I congregate to chat so I’m sure not only people on a Royal Caribbean trip are able to see these play of colors at the end of the day.

It feels great to know people still appreciate these things and stop to make the scene frozen in pixels.

Do you play online games? Do you play computer games or video games? Chances are you do, not just the usual round of solitaire (so 90’s, lol) but paid for and/or downloaded virtual games. I admit, we have a few games that were downloaded or shared by friends, and a few we purchased.

Games are fun ways to spend time, that is if one has a lot of extra time. In fact, children would sometimes ask for games aside from personalized gifts for their special days.

My children especially love games from Electronic Arts Games.

I saw this article from CNN.com re 8 Feel-Good Websites to Brighten Your Day

I rarely read blogs that have negative blog posts like rants and personal experiences and complaints.

I admit, I myself do rants, especially about our lack of proper water delivery services aka Maynilad’s no water service but since that is an ongoing saga, I think I can rant all I want. Yeah, we have water from Maynilad, 2 pailfuls this dawn, after a week of none coming out of the faucet. Heh.

Anyway, it is such a joy to get “lost” in a virtual world where one feels positive and happy. Who wouldn’t want that, even for just a while?

I only watched part of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular on NBC after I watched Dateline and wrote a blog post while it was being shown. Wasn’t able to watch Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular in its entirety (though I saw Justin Bieber, LeAnn Rimes and Enrique Iglesias perform before fireworks were shown) because I just rested my tired and sleepy eyes for a bit and I just zonked out.

When I woke up the other half was done. This happens a lot lately, like I can sleep at the drop of a hat.

It is no wonder that I have dark circles since I wake up before 4:30am to prepare packed lunch for the school children.

When I don’t need to go to work, I usually go back to bed and take a mid-morning nap so that I have enough energy to last me through the day. When I have to go to work though is another story. I’m like a zombie walking.

And yes, my other mommy friends complain the same thing too: waking up too early and not having enough sleep. And now I read this sleep problems contribute to weight gain?

I’m doomed.
