Color Crazy Challenge Week3 – Yellow & Green

Since @kim_johnson asked for yellow and green colors so I thought I should share lots a greens and yellowish greens. The photos were taken during our trip with the kids to Banawe and Sagada in the Mountain Province, Philippines.

The kids being these kids who are not so kids…

This is the original gang that tails us since they were small kids. Performers at comedy bars would amusingly ridicule us for bringing in children (they were aged 5, 6 and 7 when they start tailing us) there but, heck, what can we do? They think that they should be included wherever we go!

Anyway, so what does green mean to me? Green is nature and life. Green is what makes the planet alive. When I think of green, my mind associate it with food and living.

And this is my entry to #colorcrazy challenge created by @kim_johnson. If you are interested to join click here for instruction.

    • Three of them are in university now — one is taking up nursing, one is taking up prep course for medicine and one is taking up engineering. The youngest is entering Grade 11. Time flies really. And yes, the terraces are amazing to behold.

      • Yes, it is .I grew up near the ocean and I am a water baby.I find water calms me and grounds me.. I’m stuck in Yorkshire for the time being. Hope you had a great xmas?

    • Yes, I like living near a body of water as well. But not in this particular waterfalls I think hahaha. I mean you have to talk at the top of your lungs in order to be heard because the sound of falling water surely drown the voice. I love living near the sea/ocean (except when there is hurricane/typhoon then it is another story hahaha) and the river or lake. There is peace there.

  1. Beautiful scenery and a lovely family picture..We have similar scenery here in parts and sometimes quite high up and I wonder just how they get up there and certainly no machinery is involved just hard work 🙂

    • Oh yes, I agree. Philippines and Thailand have many similarities hahaha even the capital Bangkok looks like Manila except for the temples and the palace of course. Ancient people had a way of doing things definitely.

    • That photo is of my nephews and nieces — two kids belong to my older brother and two kids belong to my cousin. They form friendship among themselves and are close to each other the same way the girls and I are close to each other. And all four of them have beautiful voices and can sing well.

  2. I smiled when I saw the cover photo and waterfall. I thought ah yes, this is going to be of the Philippines! Yay, I was correct. I agree, take the kids along, we have always taken my grandson along on hikes. He is now 7 and loves nature, to go hiking. I am only too glad to pass my love for nature down to another generation. Glad you are doing the same. Great shots!

    • Any trip with the 3 girls are fun — but a trip with these kids tagging along are much more fun. They are easier to be with now that they are teens because at least we need not attend to them, lol! Although you cannot have an empty wallet with them as they get easily hungry! Must have some sort of crocs in their tummies hahahaha. I love your challenge because it is easier to do since I can just pick from my album unlike the 365 that has 7-day expiration lol

    • Oh, yes! Even if my country is far smaller than yours, we do have pockets of beautiful places just like any other. This country is quite rich in terms of natural resources and people if only we could have political leaders whose hearts are set in their right place. But hey, that is me dreaming.

      • The prosperity and welfare of a nation do not lie in its vast size but the nation’s ability to deal and respond everything that exists in righteous and wise. It’s good if you have a dream, right? As long as the dream becomes an encouragement and not a cause of mental disorder… Hehehe…

        • Mr. Widjojo I never heard that a dream can cause mental disorder. What I know is that all problems in relation to anxiety, depression and what-not are all rooted from fear — not from dreaming. Dreamers can suffer from mind floating away but not from too much thinking. Lol! And your comment up there just reminded me of Singapore — yes, the size of the nation does not matter.

          • Dear Mrs. Harping, you are right about that dream. Dreams don’t cause mental disorders but on the contrary, mental disorders (or which is considered by the medical world as a mental disorder) can cause dreams and illusions. Actually what I mean by dream here is the desire, hoping, which has caused more disappointment than satisfaction and joy.

          • Yeah I like calling people that way when I am teasing hahaha but I am no Missus though. I am a Miss and you can add “ed” to that if you so like hahaha. It is a joke among us, miss=missed. But hey, no worries, since you call me that I will go and look for a hubby next year LOL!

        • Mr. W since when did I become a Missus? Hahahahahaha! When I talked of dreams, like you, I use it to mean heart’s desire or wish or prayer. But yes, a desire could be constructive or destructive. A free heart after all has no desire. I am quite a simple pixie and so my dreams are of simple (and not personal) yet unrealistic kind given the ways of the world. And dreams relating to mental disorder are, in my mind, more of hallucination than wish.
