I posted this before … on my Picture Clusters blog. just love the way the drop seemed so perfect. no trick to that … it’s just my camera’s angle. well, it does help that the camera can focus while the subject is near (macro), and the lcd is of the swivel type. plus the light, of course!

am posting this again since lately it has been raining during afternoons … just drizzles. and the uncomfortable humidity.

though today it hasn’t rained. there’s a threat that the city’s water supply will be rationed, and i hope it won’t come to that! we need the rain these days. Well, we almost always need the rain, don’t we?

My husband travels a lot, and he knows how important it is when he’s on a new place and their office has made hotel reservations for him beforehand. While traveling, it is really convenient if you have your itinerary in place.

There’s this site, HotelReservations.com, where you can make hotel reservations not only locally, but also in the country of your choice. This is really convenient, not only for the seasoned traveler, but also for families on a vacation. This site not only books hotels, but also flights, cars, vacation rentals, and vacation packages.

I remember, my sister and her family went abroad during one of their vacation trips, and they really didn’t bother much about hotel reservations and car rentals. She recounted later on that there were times when they were on the phone most of the time, just looking for a decent place to stay. Good thing they had some friends in most of the places that they toured, so sometimes they slept there. But sometimes they had to stay in places where she wasn’t really that comfortable. It’s a good thing her kids viewed all of it as an adventure; in fact, they even enjoyed it, and would love to do the same trip again! lol.

The next time she and her family will be going on another trip again, I will tell her about the value and convenience of preparing for their hotel reservations. HotelReservations.com also offers the lowest deals daily, so I am sure that before she and her family finalize their vacation plan, they’d have checked out this site already. I’m not really sure what or where their trip is going to be this time, since they might like to avail of the cruise being offered by the site, or view the rebates available (e.g. $50 for an 8 night booking), once you’ve completed your stay.

Whatever their decision, after their rather “unusual” experience in another country, I’m sure they will no longer hesitate to check out deals on hotel reservations this time!

They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure.

I really do believe in that … humour is essential to living.

Here’s a new widget that you can put on your blogs to let the others know how your day has been: something from I Rate My Day.

That’s how I rated my day today … NORMAL day for me! Can’t complain much; just that it has been humid today. Waiting for the rain. Actually, all we got were drizzles.

The site’s got a contest going on, and if you have a blog, you invite 4 friends to register, and then you install the I Rate My Day widget on your site, and you’re in! No worries if you have no blog … just invite 10 friends over! If you win, you get the Microsoft Zune media player! Isn’t that just great?

Now that would definitely make my day!
