hello Beth, i was looking for a friendster skin when ur blog appeared on the screen. Then I felt like reading this post. It was worth my time.. as if I’ve been in ur place in few minutes and enjoyed the nature.. ang pinaka nakapag-entertain sa akin eh yung gull eating the fish.. amazing coz nakuhaan mo yun hanggang matapos sya kumain ng buong isda.. and also lovely is the sunset na may rays like a sunrise, very unique..

am a nature lover too. and very fortunate that here in Pinas we have these wonderful nature, a blessing from God. I really plan to visit some beautiful places here and take pictures (though am really not good at it). Hopefully I can share also with u.

I look forward to seeing more of ur posts..God bless

“…if a picture paints a thousand words, then how can i paint you…”
… i am lost for words seeing your frames of captured wonders…you are simply AWESOME Betchai!…i am so proud of you…

ang naiisip ko habang nakanganga sa pagkamangha sa mga litrato ay…”the best things in life are free”…and God is truly a great landscape artist…at salamat si betchai ay may mata to capture it with her camera…kaya lang i must admit too….na medyo sad ako…knowing that a lot of people will just probably look at these pictures (kung sakali mang makita nila ito)….yet never really see the beauty…paano nga ba nila makikita ang kagandahan kung ang mundo nila ay balot ng “kapangitan”…

bigla ko lang naalala si Mother Theresa… habang iniipon nya ang mga dying sa Calcutta…sabe nya…sila ay hindi nagkaron ng magandang buhay…kaya sana sa kanilang pagpanaw ay makaramdam man lang sila ng pagmamahal…kahit sa huli nalang…at sa isip ko…sana makita ng mga taong ito ang mga larawan na kuha mo…kase ito ang proof na may pagmamahal ang may Likha sa lahat ng kanyang nilikha…lalo na sa tao…ewan ko…siguro ang point ko…sayang…kaunti lang ang nakakakita ng gandang nakikita mo mula sa pagsipat sa iyong mahiwagang lente…kung anu ang gusro kong mangyari…ewan ko den….ay sori naman…maybe i’m saying that only the rich…see the richness of nature’s beauty…whereas sana the poor can see them too…kase mas kailangan nga nila yun…to isnpire them…to strengthen their faith…ay sori naman ulet kung mukhang KJ…

i’ve been to australia at sa silid ko na nasa hillside…overlooking the beach at Mosman, malapit sa North Sydney…picture perfect din ang view…pero hindi ko matagalan ang pagmasdan iyon…kase nag-iisa lang ako…lalo ko hinahanap yung wala….yung mga loved ones ko…lalo akong na-atat umuwi sa “pangit” na pinas…kase andun lahat ng “maganda” sa akin…sori naman ulet sa kadramahan ng lola mo…

on the lighter side…mabuti at you love what you cook…ako naman i try to define what i’ve cooked…i am allergic to scent…kahit ano…parang di ako makahinga pag may naamoy akong mabango…pero mabaho ok lang…anu ba naman talagang kawirduhan ng lola mo…ahahhaha…patawarin mo na bethchai (ahhahhaha)
…i dont like shopping sumasakit paa ko kakalakad sa mall…pero paglakadin mo ko ng 10 km na may cause…bitin pa ko nun…ayoko ng bags…i go for backpacks…coffee na may condensed milk..panalo! ansarap nun!…

last na hirit…ang wala sa blog na to na pinaka magandang picture ay si Khai by your side…appreciating the woman…the artist…the awesome Betchai that you are…hindi yun na-exhibit …pero iyon ang nakita kong sentro ng lahat ng kagandahang itinanghal sa blog post na to… at hindi lang 25 informations about the blogger ang scope ng post…it definitely spoke of love…beauty…wonders…and the “The joy of simple life”…ang galing mo Betchai…saludo ako!

I’m about to read it but i have to comment about your pictures…you should be a professional photographer. The California Wild Poppies and Hummingbird is something I would put on a frame.

Chay - another business idea, I can take Betchai’s pictures and sell it central park

i soooo love all the pictures you take. pwede ba ko mag-enrol ng photography class under you? hehe. you are soo good at what you do, sana magkaroon din ako ng kahit katiting ng talent mong yan… kakaingit din ng view sa bedroom mo!

buti ka pa you really find time to go and explore the outdoors. that’s one thing i also wanna try sana. wala kasi ako kasama tulad mo na nature lover din ang partner. haay…

like you i also used to sneeze everytime i smell a strong perfume but now i try to dab a little once in a while when the occasion calls for it and amazingly, i don’t sneeze that much na as i used to back then.

as for the stingy part, yes, sometimes i am stingy. pero when it comes to shopping or malling, aba eh sama ako anytime. kahit window shopping lang hahaha!

you are one interesting woman. i wish to kow you more.

Hi Beth, we have a lot of similarities =) I, too, am not fond of shopping, I only shop if I need to, but I always find the time to buy something to read. I do not own a single, expensive brand name item. Mahilig rin ako sa beach, nature & I’d love to go hiking so that I can enjoy nature more, which is why fate probably led us to each other, you will introduce me to the joys of hiking when I go back to the States. I’m not much of a TV watcher, too - actually 4 months & counting wala kami kahit basic cable here in Italy, we only watch DVDs (mostly my son’s Disney DVD’s).

I love all the nature photos you take!

I can’t wait to meet you! =)

First of, I love the photos Beth! You actually documented the gull’s gluttony! Hahaha. I love the sunset shots! Really vibrant! And that spectacular hummingbird shot, wow!

Thank you for the hummingbird birthday greetings!

I share your enthusiasm for the beach. I love the beach too, but unlike you am not fortunate to enjoy the water (well, the deep part anyway) Not unless I conquer my fear of the deep sea. In fact, for our honeymoon, even during December, we opted for Boracay instead of going abroad (Doods and I love the beach). But on that very same occasion something happened to me that made me fearful of the water. While snorkeling, I drifted too far from the boat and when I looked up, Doods and the boat guy were too far. So sad for me that even with a life vest I still panicked! I was trying to get to the boat but I got tired and very panicky I was literally crying. Oh well, I guess am literally a panicky person… am not as tough as some people. I even get dizzy riding a sail boat on a windy day… *sigh*

Like you Beth, I love flowers too! Of any color and kind! I plant flowering plants even during winter! Teehee

Wish we could watch Broadway together when we get the chance to visit you guys in California!

I am tempted to add photos to my posts just like what you did! Really cool Beth! I did put one, the mags, but more is cool! Hehe… I’ll see if I can

Thank you for sharing 25 wonderful things about you Beth. Now we know you 25-extra points better!

I too was gonna tag everyone, but I thought of leaving some for the others to tag… hahaha! Now everyone is tagged! Cool!

Hi Chay, you hear from Zen, she said coffee with condense milk is nothing new to her Yes Chay, try it, if you will not like i, don’t blame me…..but that is the reason why I do not buy a lot of coffee at Starbucks since I like my coffee with condense milk better, hehehehe. But we are using Starbucks coffee beans for decaf, like what I told you, coz I had to make use of all the gift cards we get.

Hi Zen, thanks…am glad we have the same favorite picture, ehehehe, just kidding. About the number 21, I did not only blush, I went out of the players and media room with my head bowed down, can not look at anyone of them realizing I was not supposed to be in there. Thankfully, when the guard saw me, he did not say anything anymore, in fact, he smiled at me trying maybe to cheer me up, for maybe he pitied at how I looked :), he did not to tell me anything for how I looked was more than enough, hehehehe.

Hehehe, Zen, I have sweaty hands too, hahahaha!!!! But it does not show much here anymore, but my feet still the same, sweaty Yes, me too, with the kind of ladies shoes we have, not very absorbent, my shoes would make a squeaky sound also whenever I move. I am glad for the insoles, they help in absorbing the sweat that it does not make noise. That is why I have to take out the insole when I get home, you know, air dry it for a week
