Who’s into gardening here? Well, i guess i have to exclude myself in such task because I do not have the so called “green thumb” when it comes to gardening. The plant usually die the day after I planted them haha so it might be just a waste of time if you’re going to let me plant seeds or saplings. Good thing, mom is blessed to have such gift in terms of planting because she managed to maintain our mini garden despite of her busy schedule. For her, it’s more like a hobby that keep all her stress away. The garden that we have is not an ideal one and is not as big as those what we usually see in some magazines. The space is good enough to accommodate some plants and we also have a bulky tree in the front yard but it’s not good enough to display topiary , life size gnomes and Bird fountains. Most of the plants that we have right now are ornamental and herbal. According to my mom, it is very rewarding for her to see the flowers bloom and to see how the plants grow. It’s more like, all her sacrifices and efforts in planting those ornaments are being paid off. Since we’re planning to move next year, we might consider getting a house with larger front yard so she can enjoy her gardening more. For the mean time, we will just stick to our mini garden and enjoy the beauty it provides.

Speaking of gardening, you guys might have heard about the clean air gardening composter. It is a mini and not so spacious gardening equipment that allows you to make your own compost. These compost can be used as a natural fertilizers for your plant’s healthy growth. I think this is very ideal even for small gardens like ours.

Is it really exciting to see how far you can go by simply collecting some objects and then from a simple hobby, it will turn into a passion as if you take it really seriously. That’s exactly what happened to me and with my “Stamp Collection”. I started collecting stamps from the mails i received from my friends and relatives abroad and then i begun buying some collectibles online. I know for some of you, this is such a non-sense thing to do but for me, it is actually my way of giving my self a treat, something that keep my stress away.

It is a very rewarding experience to see your collections growing and that is something that you should be very proud of. Okay, so lemme show you my Stamp collection.

I don’t mind receiving the same set of stamps as long as they’re limited edition or something rare to be found. Aside from this stamp collection, i also have pin and wine stirrers collection too. I’m not sure if i can start vintage and rare coin collection since my dad only has few coins to share with me but i can always buy some challenge coins online to make that collection possible.

How about you guys? What kind of collection you are currently in? Feel free to share it with us! ^_^

I was reading Japanese manga online yesterday. Good thing my friend Tekkaus reminded me about the latest chapter of Naruto. It’s been awhile since the last time i read the manga so i missed a lot of its chapters. So right now, i went back to Volume 55 to refresh my memory about the story and i still have to read the remaining chapters to proceed to the next volume.

Well, i wish i can manage to read them all while i am on my vacation. This is such a perfect time to grab that opportunity. Thanks God, I can read these mangas online without even buying the books. I wonder how much time these companies took to scan all those images from the manga books. I’m sure they have this heavy duty document imaging or document scanning software to perform such task. Okay, that’s all for now, i have to read the rest of the chapters while i am still on the mood haha. See yah!

Oh by th way, have you read the Manga “Kimi No Iru Machi”? My friend told me about it and he said that it is something worth reading for. Maybe i should try reasing it soon.

I know you noticed recently that i started to become active again in the blogosphere right? Well, that’s because the issue about my Internet Service Provider has been resolved. Actually, i was very frustrated about the connection few weeks ago but i am so glad that it’s working fine now! It took ages before a single web page to load which makes it so difficult to me to make my daily blogging routine. I was actually thinking of switching to another Internet Service Provider at that time.
They dispatched a technician to come over our house and fix the antennas outside. Believe it or not, we also took that opportunity to asked them to fix our disk and our tv antenna so that we can get clear signal once again.
The tv signal went bad when Typhoon Peping hits Cavite and our antennas outside were badly damaged. But right now, everything works fine.

So even though they are the one who started the trouble about my Internet connection issue, they were able to resolve and fix my concern in no time, oh and they were able to fix our cable and tv antennas too.  Thanks A lot!

I went to my Auntie yesterday for a dinner and i was able to see some of her new plants on her garden. She’s really into gardening and she loves planting ornamental and fruit bearing plants the most. Well too bad i am not a green thumb and i really don’t have that patience in planting and i don’t have enough time for it too. I know that in order to grow plants, you have to spend quality time taking care of them . It is not like the video games and some gaming application on facebook wher in you just have to drag the sprinkler to water your plants and voila! it grows automatically in such a very short period of time.. In real world, it really takes time for a plant to grow and i salute my Auntie for her hard work for making her landscape so nice.

Here i grab some photos

Bougainville

San Francisco Plant

Don’t know what species is this

White Jasmine

Smelly yet very useful herb, Oregano

Cactus

Actually she is planning now to plant a fig tree for her garden. This fruit bearing tree will definitely add more color to her landscape and will definitely make it more appealing.

Okay, i was like jumping out from my chair while i’m watching my most favorite musical comedy of Fox ~ Glee! Yup! Glee is here again for their new and very exciting season. It was said that the new season will get bigger and more entertaining. there are also big revelations and big stars to play a part in the said show. Okay, let’s start with some spoilers here. Our beloved Kurt will have an affair with a guy in this new season; there will be new stars that will be added on the cast including Jonathan Groff, a broadway actor from the “Spring Awakening” who will be joining the Glee Club and will be paired to Lea Michelle who is playing the role of Rachel Berry. Hnmmm  sounds like there will be a love triangle here between Rachel, Finn and Jesse (the character of Jonathan). Anyway, there are plenty of things that we should watch out in this new season of Glee like the love story of Mr Shue and Ms Emma and what will happen to the relationship of Mr Shue and his wife Terry. Oh have you watched the first episode of the new season? they pay tribute to Madonna songs and guess what! Sue Sylvester will be wearing Madonna styles and looks.. Haha that’s funny..

I am really not into cooking but since both of my parents are working and I am the eldest son, I have no choice but to take the responsibility in our kitchen. I am the one who cooks our meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, even I am doing this in a very long time; I am still not used in cooking.  My little brothers are now starting to complain because I keep on serving fried dishes to them. I felt so bad because I really don’t know anything in this field, all I know is to how to fry but other than that, I really have no idea. This made me realized to try attending cooking class. Here, I will learn more about cooking. I want to learn everything and how to cook special recipes that my brothers and I will surely love; I want to learn how to cook those recipes posted in cook books and I want to make my parents proud that in this simple way, I show them how much I love them. I have heard that cooking classes in Los Angeles can teach you well and ensure their students that they will become more productive and effective in cooking.  I realized that cooking is not bad at all, it’s fun and enjoying. Now, I’m getting excited to take that cooking classes in LA to find out how great they are and I am also excited how well can I improve. But of course, I need to encourage my parents first to allow me to take that cooking class. But I am so sure that after telling all the benefits I could gain from attending such class, I will get their approval immediately. I’m sure that after attending such this cooking class, I will no longer serve fried and boring dishes and serve them delightful and great tasting recipes instead.

I’m currently working on with my “Final Encounter” comic series. I’m actually done with the entire story, however, i decided to translate their language to English so that everyone are welcome to read my comics. I’m now working on the scripts and i think it will took me a month or two to finish the translated version. And then, the illustration may took 5 to 6 months to complete the entire series. But of course, i don’t want you to wait that long, so what i’m going to do is , i will post it chapter by chapter. The two pictures above are the covers. It’s a back to back comics cover. One is the picture of Jazz and Princess Jane (The protagonist of the story) and the other one is Jazz and his enemy, Captain Bruce. I will give you updates on the latest happenings in my work. One thing for sure, this comic series will be released this year! Watch out for that!

I am happy that my mom found a new hobby and a new business at the same time. She’s now on a candle making industry. Her friend taught her how to make home-made candles. She bought her own molding tools and the rest of the materials needed in candle making. I never thought that candle making is so easy and fun. I am proud of my mom and look at the picture above, that is a scented candle. She placed it on the top of our coffee table. She’s now making 4 to 8 pieces per week and she sell it to her friends too. Actually i am planning to help her to promote her product online. All i need is to purchase a domain for her and get a perfect layout. What yah think?

I am sick of my desktop computer. It’s giving me a hard time because it runs very slow which is very frustrating. I guess the memory is not enough to support all my activities. I have lots of games installed in my Pc and I think that’s one of the factors why it runs so slow. My mom told me to buy netbook so I can bring it anywhere. She told me not to install any games in the netbook so I can browse and surf faster. The problem is, of all the available netbooks in the store, which is the best? I know there are so many brands like Acer, HP and Toshiba but which will suit me the best? I find Acer quite nice and less expensive so I guess I can deal with it. It’s time to say goodbye to my beloved desktop and say hello to the netbook. Oh my, I am so excited to have one.
