A Mom's Note

Watery Wednesday  entry number 2. Alligators' man-made habitat in Brec's Baton Rouge Zoo. The territory of two (?) alligators. This one is huge in size and is fenced in.  Just a trivia! Did you know that the zoo is open all-year-round beside Christmas New Year and Thanksgiving? Gotta love the zoo for for that!. Kudos to the people behind it.

It had been raining for a week. Today, the sky halted from pouring tons of water. No rain, sky was bright with cool breeze. What great day! The picture above was taken so late, around 6PM earlier. Thus, the sun's color popped out in contrast to black or dark night.

Above is the intro music with video of one of the 'lil girl's favorite TV programs. I wonder what's on the show why she is just into it. Hmn.. I think it has something to do with storytelling...maybe. The lil one knows the air time, too. Oh boy, you should see how she reacts when its on. I couldn't let her do anything, she'll scream when she is bothered while watching. Watch the video above and tell me what ya think why most kids love it.

Today's music Monday entry is Mariah Carey's latest single "Obsessed". Mariah never fades. She is still the best artist for me. Everytime she releases a single or a video, there is always a spark that makes everybody obsessed about her. So who else is obsessed with Mariah? Embedding is disabled on Youtube, so just have the lyrics below. Obsessed by MC Why are you so obsessed with me?” So oh oh oh oh So oh oh oh oh So oh oh oh oh So oh oh oh oh Will the real MC please, Step into the mike? So oh oh oh oh So oh oh oh oh So oh oh oh oh So oh oh oh oh All up in the blogs Saying we met at the bar When I don’t even know who you are Saying we up in your house Saying I’m up in your car But you in LA and I’m out at Jermaine’s I’m up in the A You so so lame And no one here even mentions your name It must be the weed, It must be the E Cause you be popping hood You get it popping, Oh Why you so obsessed with me (Boy I wanna know) Lying that ...

Since nobody offered me a ride to a Halloween party yesterday, my magic mic lift me up to forget whatever it is that pissed me off. I sang tons of songs in front of my number one fan, the lil one. The disappointment vacate my heart so quickly when I started singing my all time Filipino songs. Here is one of the many songs I had. It's by Asia's Nightingale, Lani Misalucha entitled BUkas na lng kita Mamahalin. A hit song in the 90's. Bukas na lng kita Mamahalin Kay hirap palang umibig sa gitna ng panahon Kung bakit ngayon ko lang natagpuan ang isang katulad mo Sana noon pakita nakilala Sana noon pa lang na ang puso ay malaya pang magmahal Bukas nalang kita mamahalin Sabay sa paglaya ng ating mga puso Bukas na lang kita mamahalin Kay hirap pa lang umibig sa di tamang panohon Kung bakit ngayon ko lang natagpuan ang isang katulad mo Sana noon pakita nakilala Sana noon pa lang na ang puso ay malaya pang magmahal Bukas nalang kita mamahalin Sabay sa paglaya ng ating ...

Time for my one and only Friday meme. Here is my entry... After the dark skies yesterday, the moon came out to somehow shed the world with light. The light giver was so tiny and almost vague in my eyes but not in the lense of my camera with a 20x optical zoom lol. Happy Weekend, everyone!

I heard this song back then but have forgotten the lyrics as time passed. The memory went back yesterday while having a karaoke time with my magic mic. The magic mic comes with over 2 thousand songs and Don't cry, Joni is one. I sang it a couple of times. Poor mic!!! If only that thing could talk, it could have fussed at me to stop repeating the song. Hmn...humming to song while writing this post. Don't cry, Joni by Conway Twitty Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me I'll grow up someday you'll see Saving all my kisses just for you Signed with love forever true. Man - Joni was the girl who lived next door I've known her I guess ten years or more. Joni wrote me a note one day. And this is what she had to say. Woman-Jimmy please say you'll wait for me I'll grow up someday you'll see Saving all my kisses just for you Signed with love forever true. Man- Slowly I read her note once more Then I went over to the house next door Her tear-d...

Time flies so quick. It's Friday again, a certain day to watch the sky and share it through photographs on Looking at the Sky on Friday meme. Now I can say that this is the prettiest skies I've ever captured. The color is so different compared to my previous entries which were mostly dark. The weather was fairly good today, THanks God coz the hubby needs to cut the grass. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Friday, everyone. It's Septemer 11, a very memorable day in America. If you can recall, Al-Qaeda terrorists/hijackers crashed two aircraft into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001. Eight years after the destruction, today, most of us are reminiscing and commemorating the tragedy that took the lives of the many innocent individuals -- 2,993 people to be exact and damaged billions worth of businesses and other properties. That day, America was covered with dark clouds. The rain kept on pouring for the rest of the day today. It wasn't a strong one though, thanks God. There was no way I could get out of the house, so once again, I took a picture of my neighbors' roofs including the trees sshhhh (they don't know) while standing in the porch.
