Tiny Sand Crab, Another Photo

Oct 7th 2008greenbucksEnvironment & For Information & Philippines & Photos & travel

I have featured this Sand Crab here for Wordless Wednesday and here for Photo Hunter.

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.

Commuting Along EDSA

Several weeks ago, I wrote a post about cars here, emphasizing on the color silver. Our family is fond of going to car shows. The children collect cars and they do not settle for those out of this world designs but get the real car designs. My son can name the different makes of his favorite cars and even calls these by their engine names.

Anyway…

City living (particularly here in Metro Manila) + having a car = getting an auto insurance. Why?

The roads are bumpy, and even the main thoroughfare called EDSA is one bumpy, rough road. One never knows what is on the road ahead and there have been so many accidents involving those little islands they have erected along this major road which should not have been the case.

Streets inside residential places have humps (placed by the homeowner in front of his home) every few meters or so. I kid you not. Poor vehicles have their suspension groaning. If it keeps the kids playing on the streets from getting hit, I understand.

The traffic is so bad, even with six lane roads, it IS very bad and slow moving. And when traffic is bad and vehicles are bumper to bumper during rush hour, just pray that your car…

What Would You Choose?

You get out of the church after the Sunday mass and you see a table laden with these goodies. What would you choose? The green mangoes? What about the sampaloc candies? Or the sweet sticky yema? Hmmm…the nuts probably. Or the suman.

Take your pick or these would soon be bought by hungry church-goers.
