The babes keep hard at keeping fit through various ways: dieting, exercise, and more dieting. The bums on the other hand do a lot of fitness routines too. I hope they are not just people in good shape but with interesting things going on with the gray matter between their ears.

Do they watch documentaries? Do they read (ok, force factor reviews can qualify)? What kind of work do they do after the beach season? Are they interesting when they talk?

As one mom said about her daughter, “Pagandahan na lang” Roughly translated: Just notice how beautiful my daughter is. Or something like that. Huh?

Friday is the day we submit the grades for my homeschooling children and we have not completed all task that needs to be completed.

To think I have to make two progress reports for two of my students due for re-evaluation with their developmental pediatrician.

Not that I am complaining but I know I have to make a whole lot of progress reports once I take the first step necessary to be able to do what I intend to do with my other work place.

I want to take a break, if truth be told. Not as grand as Orlando vacations for this will surely be not in my budget right now but I will definitely go for something like this when the proper timing comes.

Maybe a trip to the seaside for a short breather will do me good. I wish and I would really wish hard for that right now.

But I still want to feature another photo. Why?

Because I have several photos of this tiny creature and I just had to post this last one before the photos are archived.

I remember running after these sand crabs whenever we go to the beach, when I was a young girl. Well, I still do, try to catch them but they are just too fast for me, hiding into their little holes in the sand.

Speaking of sand, it is interesting to note that there are a lot of beaches here in the country with white powdery sand that from afar one would think these are diamond rings glowing.

The beach where I had that photo taken, I do not know why the sand where the waves hit turned black when the rest are not the same. The sand there is not as white as the other places in the country but it still puzzled me so because it was not like that when we went there before.

Minor oil spill perhaps? I hope not. I just want to share this post about the 31 Ways to Save the Ocean Group Writing Project that I joined early this year.
