I also love taking photos. So to combine these two loves or likes, I have created what I call as "photoquotes." I also opened a new blog to put all of these in one place.<br />
<br />
May I invite all of you to please join me over there and maybe also contribute some of your own favorite quotes.<br />
<br />
This is just one example of what I have over there in my new blog.<br />

Love between a mother and child is something precious and
special. The indefinable bond is there but it's usually rare to find a young
child who knows how to express this especially in the form of giving. In most
cases, the mother is usually the one who has a gift for her child. In this instance
however, the child is the one giving something, a rose, to her mother. This
simply is so touching, sweet and unique. This to me shows the special love between mother and child.</div>

Aw! That really sucks!!!<br />
<br />
I have neglected this blog for a long time. So sorry about that! It's just that I found something that has been occupying more of my time. I'm talking about my <a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/lensbaby">RedBubble</a> site. Do visit if you are interested. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I am just not ready to give up on this blog. Why? Well, I just discovered that there are some who still follow even if I have not been so active here. So I owe it to them to keep on.<br />
<br />
It's raining right now and I just thought that I will write something about rain.<br />
What I like about rain is...it makes me dreamy. It makes me want to curl up in bed with a nice book. I will only do that though after I finish posting this.<br />
<br />
I also love taking photos of raindrops. So I did just that before I started this post. I wrote a hub about raindrops before. I shared several photos there. If you would like to check it out, the link is here...<br />
<a href="http://jill-of-alltrades.hubpages.com/hub/RaindropsA-Few-of-my-Favorite-Things">RaindropsA-Few-of-my-Favorite-Things</a><br />
<br />
Meanwhile, here is a photo for you. These are raindrops on a rose petal. I hope you like it. I have more raindrops photos in the hub I mentioned above and also in my <a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/lensbaby">RedBubble</a> as well as RedGage sites. Enjoy!!!<br />

I have been rather busy with some other things but that should not really be an excuse. If we want something, then we have to make time for it.<br />
<br />
Ok, I'm really guilty of being remiss with my duty as a blogger. Mea culpa! Please forgive me. <br />
<br />
Anyway, what I am going to share today is something that I started a long time ago but never got around to finishing it. That long time ago was when I was still a young mother with 3 young children. Now, I am not that young anymore and all my children are already adults.<br />
<br />
So what was it that I started a long time ago?<br />
<br />
Well, I started writing about my experiences or adventures as a mother. I would jot down comments, conversations and moments shared with my kids. I thought I would share those comments, conversations and moments because being a mother is really so fascinating and rewarding.<br />
<br />
I must confess that the demands of being a working mother never allowed me to put my work into any publishable form. However, I just chanced upon an old notebook where I used to keep some of my notes and it was fun and heartwarming to read some of my entries there. Hahaha, I'm going down memory lane - a sure sign of getting old? Who cares? I love being a mother!<br />
<br />
So, what I like about ...being a mother is my post for today. I'm sure you mothers out there have had some kind of similar moment with your kids.<br />
<br />
The scene is after dinner and we were simply enjoying some small talk and dessert. My kids were about age 8,7 and 3 at that time. My kids suddenly turned to me and asked, "Mama, please sing for us."<br />
<br />
Well, I can sing but I am no singer. I can carry a tune perfectly but I know my limitations. However, I never realized how much my kids appreciated my singing until that moment!<br />
<br />
I answered them, "I have a talent fee you know, I get paid before I sing". I said it as a joke but I soon realized that they took me seriously because of their next question.<br />
<br />
"How much Mama?"<br />
<br />
I answered (trying to keep a poker face), "Since you are my children, I will give you a discount. You can give me whatever you can afford". When I said that, they looked at each other and then left the dining table one by one. I thought that was the end of that. But then I got the surprise of my life.<br />
<br />
After a few minutes, they came back each with his/her piggy banks, some more precious coins plus a few paper bills. They showed me their collection and seriously asked me... "Is this enough Mama?" <br />
<br />
Wow! What would you do if you were in my place?<br />
<br />
Here's what I did. I hid my face from them for a few minutes to pretend that I was preparing to sing. Actually, I tried to hide the tears from my eyes. I simply was so touched! Then I gave them not one song but an impromptu concert which they whole-heartedly applauded.<br />
<br />
After the applause died down, I gave them back their money and covered their faces with kisses. I told them my singing will always be "gratis et amore" for them. Of course I had to explain what is "gratis et amore" but we just spent the next few minutes after that, hugging and kissing each other.<br />
<br />
So that's why I love being a mother. Where and how else can you have moments like this if you are not a mom?BabyPAngtuacohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486458170527365145noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066192362572662080.post-13763902635984774002010-12-01T09:30:00.000+08:002010-12-01T09:30:44.958+08:00What I Like About...ChristmasTraditionsI love traditions and Christmas time is the best time for observing traditions. Traditions always bring happy memories and we never grow tired of them.<br />
<br />
One of the Christmas tradition that I love is - caroling.<br />
<br />
When I was in high school, we had a group that cut across the four year levels. Our group would always go caroling once advent starts. We would go around our small town and carol house to house. The money that we got from caroling was used to buy little gifts for children of underprivileged families in our town. We distributed these gifts during Christmas day.<br />
<br />
I have written a longer article about caroling as a Christmas tradition. Please check this out.<br />

Everything about Christmas makes me feel warm and cozy and happy.<br />
So below are some reasons why I love Christmas... or what I like about Christmas:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bvkCb5e2Kv0/TOxjK9zT3LI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/-UgczqOb3Dw/s1600/_MG_2056abc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bvkCb5e2Kv0/TOxjK9zT3LI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/-UgczqOb3Dw/s320/_MG_2056abc.jpg" width="203" /></a></div><ul><li> I love the spirit of giving</li>
<li>the sounds of bells especially during early morning</li>
<li>the sounds of Christmas carols </li>
<li>the cool air and nippy weather</li>
<li>the sparkling lights</li>
<li>the decor</li>
<li>the Christmas trees</li>
<li>the food especially the baked goodies (I don't like fruitcake though, sorry!)</li>
<li> the happy faces of everybody. Somehow everyone seems to be in a happy mood</li>
<li>the colors </li>
<li>the tradition </li>
</ul>Oh, I could go on and on about Christmas but you get what I mean. There is really something special about Christmas. So I thought I would write a series about Christmas.<br />
<br />
I have just published an article about the Christmas colors. If you want to know how the Christmas colors originated, then please check out my article over at HubPages. Please click on the link below.<br />

FramesWhen you exhibit photos or art works what do you usually do? Frame them, right?<br />
Frames always add something to the photo or the painting. Frames can be simple or can be ornate. Either way, they always add context and focus to any picture. However, the frames that I am talking about today are the frames that you create while you are still taking a picture. This is a photo tip that I learned early on when I started my photography adventure.<br />
<br />
Adding a frame to a scene or object as you take the photo somehow creates a more focused and interesting picture. The frame can be natural or it can man-made. Do check out my hub on how frames add something to a photo. <br />

I wondered what happened to the "N" blog and then I remembered that I pulled it down because it contained so many personal details. I was warned by some friends not to put out on the web so many personal details.<br />
<br />
So today, I decided to fill in the missing "N". I still am going to write about names, but this time, the names will be generic and not personal. I will write more about the reasons for giving the specific name.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I find names fascinating because there is always a story behind the use of a certain name. Why were you given a specific name? I discovered several reasons. If the reason for your name is not in the following list, then please add it here. I would like to hear from you.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li> Your name is based on the saint's feast day on the calendar. This is especially true those who are Roman Catholics. So for example if your birthday is today, you might have the name "Callistus" because it is St. Callistus' feast day today (Oct 14).</li>
<li>Your name is based on the favorite actor or actress/author/singer/idol of your parents. So for example, you might be named Harry (Potter) or Charice (Pempengco) or Angelina (Jolie) or Oprah or John Lloyd (Cruz) or Rafael (Nadal).</li>
<li> Your parents hope that you will turn out to be the next scientist or world leader or philosopher so you are given the name "Einstein" or "Indira" or "Corazon" or "Descartes"</li>
<li>Your name is combination of your parents' or grandparents' names. So it might be "Jonel", a combination of John and Elizabeth, or "Jumila", combination of Justo and Milagros</li>
<li>You are born on a specific day of the week or month of year, so your name is "May" or "Tuesday" or "January"</li>
<li>You are born on a significant date or day, so your name is "Millenium" or "Ondoy" (typhoon here in the Philippines) or "Katrina" (hurricane in the USA) </li>
<li>You are the junior of your parents. So you are John, Jr., or Marian, Jr. I know of certain families who name their children as John, Jr, John II, John III, John IV, etc. </li>
<li> All the names in your family start with the letters of your parents names. All the boys follow the father's name or the girls the mother's or it can be the other way around. So if your parents names are Peter and Mary, then maybe your names are: Paul, Pedro, and Pistachio; or Martha, Maritess, and Marilyn; or Patricia, Peggy and Paula; or Mario, Maximo, and Medardo</li>
<li> Your parents stayed in some foreign country or studied some foreign language and they fell in love with some of the foreign sounding names like: Keira (Irish), Mahinhin (Pilipino), Akiko (Japanese), Celio (Portugese) </li>
<li>Your parents consulted numerology or horoscope so your name must exhibit a certain vibration or must sum up to a specific number, etc. So your name is "John Paul Castro" which comes up to the number 11. Number 11 is characterized by high spirituality, intuition, etc. </li>
<li>Your parents were hoping for a baby girl or boy so they prepared only for girls' or boys' names. Then you turn out to be of the opposite sex (this was before the advent of ultrasound) and your parents did not bother to find another name but just changed the sex of the name. So your name was originally "Teresita" but you turn out to be a boy, so now you are named "Teresito"</li>
</ul>These are just some of the reasons I gathered why you are given a specific name. If you know of other reasons, please add them here in the comments. Thank you!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal">However, aside from all the reasons I have written about before, there is one more reason, and that is – I keep discovering something new every time I visit. There is always a new hotel, or restaurant or activity or product to explore. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">What I discover is not necessarily new in Boracay but just new to me, just like what I am sharing today – the Boracay Beach Club.

Well, Olga, their Director of Sales & Marketing, read one of my hubs about Boracay and sent me a letter when she learned that I was going to Boracay again last August.

I have just published one more hub about Boracay. Please check it out.<br />

I always learn something from them as I watch them go about their "business" of making a living.<br />
<br />
This morning, I was out with my camera in our small garden. I was looking for something to photograph and I found some ants scurrying about along a metal wire that stretched from our fence to a tree. I have taken so many ant pictures before so I just watched them for a while without taking photos. Then I noticed that several of them were carrying some injured/dead fellow ants while others were carrying eggs. I suddenly thought of an idea - - - what if I placed some food across their path, what will they do? <br />
<br />
So I went inside the house to get some food and put a few pieces along the pathway of the ants. Then I got my camera ready and started shooting away. What I observed made me respect ants even more!<br />
<br />
I noticed that those carrying their injured/dead fellow ants or their eggs, just went on with their work and did not even bother to stop where the food was. Only those who were not carrying anything stopped and tried to take bites of the food or went around the food looking for ways to maybe carry it. Nobody succeeded in dislodging the food, but several of them managed to bite off little bits and carried these off too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvkCb5e2Kv0/TJHn846Jx2I/AAAAAAAABx0/-fl0CTI7w_M/s1600/IMG_1182-1abc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvkCb5e2Kv0/TJHn846Jx2I/AAAAAAAABx0/-fl0CTI7w_M/s320/IMG_1182-1abc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> At the upper left-hand corner, the ant carrying an egg, ignored the food in the middle of their pathway. <br />
<br />
So I learned that not even food can stop ants (this particular species anyway) from doing and completing what they are supposed to do. Transporting their injured/dead comrades or their eggs are more important than food to these ants!<br />
<br />
I have seen movies where people sometimes drop what they are carrying (even if it's another person) if they find food/money on their path. Not these ants! They do what they are supposed to do! Isn't that amazing? That's why I wrote a hub about these amazing creatures! <br />

<br />
I never imagined that I will find true, new, friends in the internet. However, I am happy to be proven wrong in this regard.<br />
<br />
I have developed a circle of true, new, and very supportive friends in both sites. And very recently during my trip to my favorite island, Boracay, Philippines, I met a fellow RedGager. Isn't that great?<br />
<br />
My fellow RedGager is "OlgaBBC" who works at the Boracay Beach Club. She first read my hub (in Hubpages) about Boracay and commented on it. When she learned that I was going to visit my favorite island, she sent me an email and we exchanged cellphone numbers. When I got to Boracay last August 23, I contacted her and the next day we dropped by at her place. It was great to met face to face.<br />
<br />
Boracay Beach Club is a nice place. Olga gave us a tour of the place. They have some fantastic vacation package offers. I will write about the place in another blog. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bvkCb5e2Kv0/TH3c9KDKntI/AAAAAAAABxs/GACUWXEmofc/s1600/Olga-Babyabc1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bvkCb5e2Kv0/TH3c9KDKntI/AAAAAAAABxs/GACUWXEmofc/s320/Olga-Babyabc1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>For the moment, I just wish to reiterate that I love being in Hubpages and RedGage because I meet some really nice people and develop good friends in both sites.<br />
<br />
That's Olga and me from the top floor of Boracay Beach Club. That's the famous Boracay beach behind us.

No, I wish to correct that - I love water.<br />
<br />
I love water not only because it's the most important and dominant chemical of our body, but because it is refreshing and cleansing. However, what I am going to talk about here is not about the importance of water to our body but about the role of water in photography. <br />
<br />
During my photography adventure, sometimes I run out of ideas on what to shoot. So what can you do if that happens to you? I always remember one advice - "just add water and keep on shooting". So I have followed this advice and have come up with so many "water" shots.<br />
<br />
So what I like about water in my photography are:<br />
- water is everywhere - as lakes, oceans, seas, fountains, waterfalls, rivers, raindrops, etc. So I never run out of "water" to photograph <br />
- water can awaken emotions - photograph still water and you indicate serenity. Photograph raging water and you indicate danger or rage.<br />
<br />
I have so many "water" photos and I therefore gathered them and wrote a hub about my adventures with water. Go check it out at: <br />

<br />
<div class="about-text-mid">Just what is <b>Redgage</b>? Well, according to their blurb, "<i><b>RedGage</b> is a website that pays you for your content and monetizes your social activity. <b>RedGage</b> helps you make money for what you're already doing online and by building traffic to your content on <b>RedGage</b> you can maximize your earnings</i>". </div><div class="about-text-mid"></div><div class="about-text-mid">I first discovered <b>RedGage</b> when a friend in <b>Hubpages</b> mentioned it to me. She told me that it is the perfect venue for my photos. You see, I love taking photos and I love sharing them with friends. She told me that I can earn from just uploading my photos. So I got curious and I went over to <b>RedGage</b> and gave it a try. </div><div class="about-text-mid"></div><div class="about-text-mid">On my first day at <b>RedGage</b>, I waited with held breath if the photos I uploaded can indeed earn something. I at first saw some views on my page but there was no money yet. I did not know how many views a photo will have before it starts earning anything. After waiting for a few minutes, I decided to sign out and do something else. Later during the day, I signed in again and lo and behold, I saw $0.01 register in my profile! Wow! I excitedly shared with my family, "I now have $0.01" in my RedGage account"! </div><div class="about-text-mid"></div><div class="about-text-mid">Hahaha! "Big deal" you might say. Well, it was big deal to me! It was the first time I earned from just uploading my photos! So I excitedly uploaded more photos each day and watched my earnings grow. I know it's not much yet, but I am getting there. I am still learning all the ropes about using <b>RedGage</b>. </div><div class="about-text-mid"><br />
</div><div class="about-text-mid">So, what do I like about <b>RedGage</b>? Well, I like the way it has delivered on its promise of "paying for your content". I still haven't earned enough to receive my first payout yet. <b>RedGage</b> only pays once you reach $25 earnings. However, I can see my earnings growing everyday as I upload more photos, links and blogs. </div><div class="about-text-mid"></div><div class="about-text-mid">I also like <b>RedGage</b> because of the way I discovered friends using both <b>RedGage</b><a href="http://www.redgage.com/"> http://www.redgage.com</a> and <b>Hubpages</b>, <a href="http://hubpages.com/">http://hubpages.com</a>, two of my favorite sites. My other favorite is of course <b>Blogger</b>. Now, my network has expanded because of these sites.</div><div class="about-text-mid"><br />
</div><div class="about-text-mid">Because of <b>RedGage</b>, I have also learned more about socializing and using my <b>Twitter</b> <a href="http://twitter.com/account">http://twitter.com/account</a>. Before <b>RedGage</b>, I only tweet occasionally. Now I have learned to tweet more regularly.</div><div class="about-text-mid"><br />
</div><div class="about-text-mid">So after a month at <b>RedGage</b>, did my curiousity help me? Well, I can happily say that this time, curiosity did not kill the cat! In fact, I discovered that what they say about RedGage is true! I really can earn from my photos and other content! And I am having fun too! Isn't that great?</div><div class="about-text-mid"></div><div class="about-text-mid">So if you are interested in monetizing your blogs, photos and other content, come and join me at RedGage. </div><a href="http://www.redgage.com/profile">http://www.redgage.com/profile.</a><br />

By the way, I am known as "lensbaby" over at RedGage. Below is my photo over there. You can cite my name as as reference in case you decide to join me there. See you!<br />

I can get videos of almost anything there - lessons, songs, inspiration, motivation, laughs, anything.<br />
<br />
I even use youtube to study photography techniques. It's always so much easier to learn something if they are accompanied by visuals. I am a very visual person, so I learn faster if I see something. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I stumbled upon an inspirational website yesterday, - http://www.arinanikitina.com/. It has this incredible video about "Validation". I liked the video so much, so I followed it over at youtube and now I'm posting the link here. Sorry, I still don't know how to embed a video here so you just have to click on the link below.<br />

What about you? Do you like celebrating too?<br />
<br />
I just reached my 1st anniversary in Hubpages and wrote a hub to celebrate it.<br />
For a while now, I have been sharing my photos there using different colors as theme. Some hubbers have started calling me as the 'countess of color' and some as 'queen of color'. I thought it fitting therefore to celebrate my 1st anniversary in full color. So please check out what I wrote there. Here's the link below. Thank you!<br />

I find it very satisfying to write there because I almost always get some comments about my articles. It's good to know that somebody is reading what you published.<br />
I now have developed a circle of friends there and we usually visit each other's hubs or articles. It's really very heartwarming to know that someone else appreciates what you write.<br />
If you have time, do make a visit there. There are so many good writers there who write on various topics. Who knows, you might want to join us there too.<br />
Anyway, here is a link to my latest hub. It's all about roses. You might want to check it out. Thank you.<br />

Photos and quotesI love collecting motivational/inspirational quotes. When I started my photography adventure, I coupled these quotes with some of my photos and printed these as postcards to give away to friends. Lately I put together some of these cards into a hub and published this in my hubpages website. <br />
The photo below is one example of this. For the rest of the other photos and quotes, please check out the link below. This is the second time I actually did this. You will also find my first hub about quotes there in hubpages. Just navigate around my pages there.<br />

The name is "pinoyyellowbug". This is very similar in intent to this "what I like blog". However, it focuses specially on the Philippines and its people and anything good about the Philippines. <br />

When I retired, I told myself that I will only do things that will make my heart sing. And that's exactly what I am doing now - doing things that make my heart sing!<br />
What are these things? - foremost on my list are:<br />
- photography<br />
- writing<br />
- reading<br />
- playing bowling<br />
- crafts<br />
and that about covers the most important ones.<br />
I'm really having a blast pursuing all these things especially photography and writing. <br />
I still teach sometimes, but the keyword there is sometimes! Teaching for me is on project basis now and not on regular basis. I like it that way. <br />
I love the freedom of being able to plan my own day and not do something because somebody else wants my time.<br />
Isn't this great? <br />
That's why I love retirement!<br />
By the way, I also wrote a hub about this song in my heart. Check it out.<br />

I'm very sorry I have not posted here for a while. Somehow, being affected by typhoon Ondoy has thrown off my natural rhythm and I am just beginning to get back in the groove. I'm really sorry about that.<br />
<br />
To get back in rhythm, I have been playing with my camera, which by the way is one of the first things I immediately tried to save when flood waters started to enter our house! <br />
<br />
Playing with my camera focuses my mind on beautiful and creative things and makes me forget about all the things I still have to clean and put in order. It's so much fun to discover the camera's new features and find new ways of using them. There is still so much to learn and I am just beginning to discover them. I really feel like a child with a new toy even if I already had this camera since May of this year.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm sharing today a photo I created by zooming in on some plants in my garden. I did this to create a swirling effect. Isn't it amazing?BabyPAngtuacohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486458170527365145noreply@blogger.com0
