Typhoon Mina is currently battering the northern side of the country with “Maximum sustained winds of 165 kph near the center and Gustiness of up to 200 kph”.

I’m sure the wind spinners are up there are going round and round wildly, if they are still standing up.

This same weather disturbance gave us a hard time when I went with my youngest child on her field trip to Pampnga last Wednesday. We had to endure the alternating rain shower and sun shine which gave me a headache. Gah! Good thing she has an almost water-proof jacket to wear because I, the super mom, forgot to bring an umbrella.

Anyway, I took a few flower photos when we visited and this is one of the photos that I like albeit the flowers are orange!

I love flower photos like this one. FYI, am not particularly fond of orange and I like this not because I was the one who took the photo. I know that anyone with a camera can take this kind of photo, right?

I can’t find my Mini Maglite, one that has been with me for almost nine years. This flashlight has been to the places where I went and has proved to be useful in several occasions.

I remember removing it from my handbag and putting it in the luggage we checked in at the airport last week. Among other things people don’t put in their hand-carry bags are things like these plus big containers of alcohol, perfume, mouth wash, and even don tomas. Not sure about the last one though.

The Mini Maglite has a little chip because dropped it one too many times. I’m going to get a new one soon but this is not going to be as special as the one I lost because it came from my hubby.

I can’t wait to go to hubby’s family home down South to visit my MIL, hubby’s grandma and aunt.

When the kids had their month-long summer vacation there, they loved spending time in the garden and rooftop room where the air is cool.

Their house is a bit new, with wooden cabin furniture and white walls. The windows are always open to let the cool breeze in the house, something we don’t do here where we live. Here’s why.

It gives me joy to be able to go home and visit my parents.

Aside from the fact that I would be able to spend a few hours with my parents, traveling on country road is a relaxing experience for me, seeing so much greenery without billboards and steel buildings blocking the view.

We would probably do a lot of traveling as a family if only we have the time, resources and a house-sitter who can be trusted to be left behind. For now, we don’t have plenty of all three things.
