Close-up shot of a Dragon Fruit, also commonly called as Pitaya…

Have you tasted one already? Some family members aren’t so crazy about them, but I think they taste great … specially when chilled. Heard that some are made into shakes, but I still have to try that.

ps. thanks to all of those who joined last week! many many thanks!!!

Was playing with the camera (pointing it at the plumbago flowers) without looking through the viewfinder…got this pleasant surprise.

Again, my thanks to those who dropped by!!!!

Really appreciate it! *hugs*

Just a while ago I was channel surfing while watching television and I saw this program about some guys who are so into motorcycles. They went looking for some Harley parts and I must admit it got me interested. A close friend used to own a bike when we were in college and I must say we had lots of fun using it. I never did get to learn how to drive the thing, though, since there were plenty of “drivers” willing to take me along as the passenger. lol.

It’s really quite interesting that there are such things as mortgage life insurance. We really have to be aware of things like this, specially if you are concerned about your future. I took a life insurance once and have just finished paying for it … it’s not much (specially with the current situation), but at least it’s something.

What about you? Do you have insurance, too?

My thanks to everyone who dropped by and/or left comments … been away from the computer for a bit. Will try to return the favors soon!!

Was hot today … decided to have some ice cream with marshmallows.

Lately it has really been humid these past few days and I must say it’s really uncomfortable! Hubby and I have thought of getting ourselves an air conditioner for our bedroom, but somehow something always seems to come up. Besides, we certainly don’t know if we’ll be needing an air conditioning compressor, and the thought of the expected increase in the electric bill is not tempting at all. This is something that needs a lot of considering, as well as planning. Oh well, am sure we’ll work it out.
