LP41: Asul (Blue)

Hayyy! Ang sirap tumingin sa langit pag ganito ang kulay. Nakakarelaks. Parang ang gaan ng loob. Maliwanag ang paligid. Lalo na pagkatapos ng madilim na araw dala ng tig-lamig. Binubusog ko ang aking mga mata --- hindi nakakasawa. Maya't maya didilim na naman ngunit meron akong litrato na titingnan hanggang sa muling lalabas ang asul na langit.

Hayyy! I love looking at the sky/heavens when it has this color. It is so relaxing. I feel so light inside. It's so bright all around. Especially after a period of darkness due to the winter season. I fill my eyes with it --- I never get tired of looking at it. Soon it will be dark again but I have this photo to remind me until the blue sky/heavens appear again.

Tema sa Linggong it sa Litratong Pinoy: Asul
This week's theme at Litratong Pinoy: Blue

Litratong Pinoy: Snow

Gaano ba kayo ka-excited na makakita, makahawak o makatikim ng snow? Yelo ang tawag nito sa Pilipinas. Hindi ko lang alam kung may specific na salita para sa snow doon. Lahat tayo na nasa mainit na parte ng mundo ay nananaginip na balang araw makaranas tayo ng taglamig na may yelo sa ibang bansa. Noong ako ay nasa Scotland, naranasan ko ito. Excited ako noon na mahawakan at matikman (kunyari) ang puting-puti na yelo na parang bula ng perla. Kaya nga ito ang ginamit natin noon sa christmas tree na magkakaroon ng epek ng snow. Kaya ayan...lumabas talaga ako at nagposing para makuhanan ng litrato. Napakaromantic minsan ang nararamdaman or naiisip natin tungkol sa snow. Kaya lang kung iisipin natin ang hirap ng paglinis ng yelo sa paligid upang tayo ay makalakad ng mabuti, at hindi matumba o madulas, nawawala ang karamdaman na ito. Buti na lang at hindi nagtagal masyado ang snow noong buwan ng Marso na 'yon dahil mga isang linggo lang at natunaw na kaagad.

Mabuti naman at naging tema ng Litratong Pinoy ang "excited/eksayted" sa ngayon. Malapit na ang Pasko at Bagong Taon kaya maraming dapat pagka-eksaytan.

How excited are you to see, hold or taste snow? We call it "yelo" in the Philippines. I do not know for sure whether there is a specific word for snow there. All of us who are in the tropics dream that someday we can experience winter with snow in other countries. When I was in Scotland, I was able to experience this. I was so excited that time to touch or taste (pretending only) the snow which was so white similar to Perla soap suds. That's why we used to use this in our christmas trees to simulate a snowy scene. So there...I really went out and posed infront of the camera just to have a picture with the snow. Sometimes we feel and think that having snow is romantic. But then when we think of the difficulty of cleaning up the snow around us so we can walk safely, to avoid falling or slipping, it is not romantic anymore! It was good that time in March that it took only a week before it melted.

It's good that Litratong Pinoy chose this theme "excited" during this time. Christmas and the New Year holidays are approaching and there are so many things we can be excited about.
