Ahhh, was busy these past few days of the month restructuring life and its intricacies but I still managed to make flower photos though.
Here they go.
How are you all my dearies?
Happy 1st day of April everyone! Yes, how can it be April already?

It’s the only day where being silly is officially recognized.

But be gentle with the people you’re going to play prank today ![]()

Sometimes you need to do crazy things to get out of your crazy mood…

And also, sometimes you need to just sit still until it passes.

To a big beautiful resurrection. May you shine out into the world with all your magnificence!
Today is Black Saturday in the Lent season of Catholics, a time to fast and abstain from anything you favor in life. So, I was thinking whether to go on my daily walking. I still went ‘coz I call it my “gratitude walk” anyway and I label myself as part Catholic (it’s where I started) and more of a Buddhist these days.

I make my daily walk a “gratitude walk” by consciously focusing on all that is right in your world and feeling.

The deep inner thankfulness, contentment and peace. I let the gratitude build on gratitude until there is just one seamless flow of ease and openness.
***Photos were taken today using my mobile device and edited on Snapseed.
Ended up the week with a Saturday beach lounge at Venice Beach. Fresh for a new grueling work week.





Sorry, coffee didn’t happen today and so for the last 5 days.

You can just imagine the “big” change I’m going through. Not to mention the headaches, dry mouth and most especially the sluggishness.
I’ve been snooping around already for some low-acid coffee and looks like there are a few choices that I can get for myself.
That’s good news!
Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge? Well, this is a question that a lot of people ask themselves, including me when I first visited it a few years back. In fact, many San Francisco residents don’t know the story of the bridge’s name, so I’m not alone! you are not alone!

Well, this term actually refers to the Golden Gate Strait which is the entrance to the San Fran Bay from the Pacific Ocean. Since the bridge straddles the Golden Gate Strait, it makes sense that it would be called the Golden Gate Bridge! A lot of folks believe that the Golden Gate Strait and Golden Gate Bridge were named after California’s famous gold rush, but this is not the case. The gold rush had nothing to do with the naming of the Golden Gate.

It’s gold though! Those wondering “Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge?” have probably noticed that the bridge is actually gold. Well, technically the bridge is painted a color called “orange vermilion,” which is also known as “international orange.” Its bright color was selected because of its name and location – making it truly “The Golden Gate Bridge.” (sources say from my surface browsing).

On other other news, the sad and great news… I am not allowed to drink any caffeinated beverages these days and yes, that includes my favorite “coffee”
. The reason? it’s my hyper-acidity gone wild
, for how long? I dunno. To me, this is the perfect time though (not the hyper-acidity) ‘coz I’ve been trying to tame the addiction for a while now and as the saying goes – “old habits die hard”, I wasn’t any close to being successful on that department. So, yeah…
Happy spring anyway!

One fine Tuesday afternoon while I was slow walking at a nearby park… can’t help but admire Nature.

And hello Cherry blossoms… glad to see you again.

Pike Place roast right after.
It was raining the day we visited my brother, who is a crew of the Golden Princess, the ship docks at San Pedro’s cruise terminal every after 7 or 14 sea days.

I couldn’t go outdoors, the sky was a little overcast but it was fun even staying indoors. There were a lot of small things to see and say my ohhhhs!
But for now it remains a dream ‘coz he is on board a different ship cruising the Oceania.
Well…

Coffee brought me back to reality…
