now come the roses...

...plus JC :)... i took some pics for his school's collage project earlier. that's why there are pictures of him here or else, "no, you can't take my pictures" that will always be the retort of my son and my photographer, sitted near my roses :> he never wants me to post pics of him or take pics of him but here they are until he discovers it, laughs...and he is really concerned that people tells us that we look like sister and brother. hmn, i told him that either he looked old and i looked young, which is a stretch btw, laughs... or people are just very kind or just plain blind and it is broad daylight...(^&*)...

JC's hair is shining black, here in the U.S. ladies' hairs are not their true hairs for they do some coloring changes. what is the psychology of changing your natural features? you are not satisfied with your God given one that you wanna go for what you really want? for you want to be more attractive? :) i dunno but we do it, although not yet for me for i don't have gray or white hair yet, laughs, but this is done to find satisfaction and happiness, maybe :> or to attract the male gender, laughs. oh well. i think it is good if that's what your love wants but bad if it's the opposite...we'll find out...(^_~)...

our health counts

i just finished watching at CNN about Dr. Sanjay Gupta's TV special titled "The Last Heart Attack" it is very, very informative. former Pres. Bill Clinton was in it.  no oil, no meat, no fish or anything that has a mother or a face diet. so ergo no dairy products, no fried foods, no eggs, milk, cheese, ice cream nor french fries. a vegan diet or be a vegetarian to be exact. what a drastic change if i am to follow this. but we can do it for our own health, for our love ones, right? so let's do it starting today :) but also not mentioned were no cigarettes, no drugs nor alcohol maybe because it is a given plus daily exercise. what a very positive program but that is what this MD is all about. he knows that health is wealth and having health meant long life for all of us...

Dr. Esselstyn's book about a diet preventing heart disease with clinical studies to support it, worth reading and worth your time :>

the last blooms of summer

it could have been
a perfect painted frame
it could have been
a timeless tune to hear

only it was a plain and
simple style of a plant
that only a tired gardener
could care to nurture and to have

it could have been a
beach of blue clear water
that is so still and calm
it could have been a
cloudless sky with doves
hovering above

but it was just an endless
dream of no paradise
just barren lands with
crusted brown earth
that boils at your feet
as you walk on it or stand

as the last blooms of summer
say their farewells, goodbyes
ending its bright sunny days
as the rainy times of autumn
and the sad cold winter nights
will soon come...

Cruisin' time in the USA, again :)

yes, the woodward dream cruise is here again in spite of the bleak economic situation around the globe. america's love affair with their vintage cars is still going strong. i saw one price tag for one not good looking classic car for sale and it is a whopping 4.5 million pesos. now that keeps me thinking. we were only there for around 1.5 hrs. and it is a whole day cruise. thousands of cars coming from different parts of the united states so that must be in high millions of maybe billions worth of cars on display just for one day alone. wow! only in America folks. the classic cars roll on with hefty prices...hmn, mr. jay leno, my favorite comedian loves classic cars to death. he doesn't have kids but he collects these beauties. i won't be surprised if he was here in the motor city, actually it is in the suburbs of Detroit, the car manufacturing hub, that this yearly dream cruise is being held. maybe they ship these cars here by train all throughout the U.S. and the owners either fly or drive their regular cars to come here to show them off, laughs...here are some classic cars or not that i happen to shot :) billions worth of moving steel, old, vintage, classics from the past, they are here to entertain the present, cool :)...i think it will be nice at this point to stop blogging for the time being... lots of cars to entertain my few visitors here...(^&*)...that is a very good idea :) the question is if the idea will go into fruition, most likely not. but i can try :)
