LP: Ihip ng Hangin

Ang tawag dito ay koinobori. Kuha ito sa Asakusa, Japan nung nagpunta kami noong Golden Week 2005. Ang koinobori ay windsock na may disenyo ng makukulay na karpa.

Isa sa mga ipinagdiriwang tuwing Golden Week ay ang Araw ng mga Batang Lalaki o "Otoko no Sekku". Sa araw na ito, ang mga magulang nga bagong panganak na batang lalaki ay nagsasabit ng koinobori sa kanilang mga bintana para sa magandang kinabukasan ng bata.

Skull Over Scars

I had my friend Naren come in today, wanting to get something to cover up the scars he had on his inner forearm region. What better thing to do over the scars? A skull of course !!

The skull image is used in several religious cultures. The Indian god Kali is pictured with skulls in her wrathful form. Within the Kabbalistic tree of life, the skull symbolizes not death but rebirth, and is a celebration, not mournful time.

In Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico, the skull is a reminder of death, but it reminds people that while death is a misfortune, it can also be seen as “the ultimate liberation.”

Gamblers enjoy using the skull as a “reverse bad luck” charm, hoping it will bring them good fortune. When used by gamblers, it is often accompanied by black cats and dice rolling seven.

Not all meanings are positive, however. The Nazi SS used the death’s head as a symbol, and many neo-Nazis still use the symbol in tattoos to this day.

LP: Japan Shots: Umaapoy at Tubig

Muli, ipagpaumanhin ninyo ang huli ko na namang akda. Matindi talaga ang epekto sa akin ng epidural at tuwing Huwebes na lang ay nakakalimutan kong mag-post ng mga akda para sa LP.

Itong pareho kong litrato ay kuha noong kami ay nasa Japan. Sa kabutihang-palad ay sa Yokohama City kami napatira. Medyo malayo sa upisina (1.5 oras ng byahe patungo at pabalik), pero napakaraming pedeng puntahan at gawin sa lugar na ito. Nakaka-miss ang Yokohama. Kung mabibigyan ng pagkakataon, nais naming bumalik dito, syempre kasama na ang aming tsikiting.

Uso sa Japan ang mga "street performers". Yung iba ay dito pa nga nadidiskubre. Nagpapalabas lang sila sa mga parke o kung saan mang maluwag na lugar kung saan pedeng magkumpulan ang mga tao. Nakikinood na din kami kasi libre din naman ang palabas (pero my bad, ni isang beses di man lang kami nagbigay...). Iyong isang street performer ay tumalon sa apoy. Di ko na natatandaan masyado yung iba nyang ginawa... Mukhang sobrang sisiw sa kanya ang kanyang ginawa. Syempre pa, lahat naman ng nanonood ay tuwang tuwa. :)

Ang aking lahok naman para sa tubig ay itong isang malaking aquarium. Kuha din ito sa Yokohama, Japan - sa Sea Paradise. Nakakatuwa itong aquarium na ito kasi napakalaki. At nakaka-aliw na makakita ng napakaraming isda - at ang lalaki din nila! Noon lang kami nakapasok sa aquarium na tulad nito. At sobrang nag-enjoy din kami. Sana ay mabisita din namin ang Manila Ocean Park sa mga susunod na araw. Pihado, mag-e-enjoy din ang aming prinsesa - mahilig kasi sya sa hayop.

Actor: Overdosed daw

Nakaka-overdose ba ang biogesic? hahaha.

LP: Mahal na INA

Ito ang mommy at ang prinsesa. Kuha ito noong Bagong Taon sa bahay ni Lolo at Lola sa Laguna. Karaniwan naming ipinagdiriwang ang bagong taon sa probinsya para iwas polusyon/usok. Pinili ito ni hubby (dapat ay ipapa-print nya para sa araw ng mga ina, pero wala siyang oras. wawa naman puro na lang trabaho)

Isa lang ang masasabi ko: mahirap pero masarap maging ina. Lalo na kung nakikita mong maganda ang disposisyon ng anak mo at lumalaki sya ng maayos. Ang sarap ng pakiramdam na may humahalik sa iyo at yumayakap. Masaya ang simula ng araw ko kasi siya ang una kong nakikita - ang kanyang bilog na bilog na mata at matamis na ngiti.

** pasensya na at huli na itong akda ko para sa linggong ito. ito dapat ang pinakamadaling paksa para sa akin... pero medyo natagalan si hubby maghanap ng picture namin eh (sya daw maghahanap :P)

Sun Tattoos

The sun plays in an important role in many cultures. Several prominent early civilizations were involved in worshiping the Sun - such as the Romans, the Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Incas. While other cultures also paid homage to the sun, in these specific areas, the Sun was their highest god.

In Rome, the sun god was Apollo. He was thought to bring the sun each morning in a chariot across the sky. He also was considered to be the god of healing and arts.

In Egypt, the god Ra was in charge of the sun. Ancient Egyptians believed that Ra went through various transformations throughout the day, just as the sun did. He was the most important of all of the Egyptian gods, and pharohs from the fifth dynasty forward took the title "Son of Ra".

In Aztec culture, Huitzilopochtli was the god of sun and war. The patron deity of the Aztecs, it was said that he was supposed to guide the Aztecs to a promised land in the south. Human sacrifices were at one time made to this god in hopes of winning wars.

The rich mythology surrounding the sun means there is a wealth of different tattoo styles that can be found depicting its image. Many choose to get the sun and moon depicted together, as they are complimentary and, in some cultures, symbolize male and female power.

Others choose the blocky, tribal style of Aztec suns. The sun can also be a symbol of rebirth, so some people choose to combine it with other imagery such as Celtic Knots and Stars. The light and dark, good and evil symbolism are also a reason that people are so drawn to these tattoos.

LP: Malungkot

Isa na yata ito sa mga pinakamahihirap na paksa para sa LP. Hindi din talaga ako mahilig kumuha ng mga litrato ng mga bagay na nakakalungkot. Marami-rami din akong stock photos na tiningnan hanggang sa makita ko ang mga ito:


Ito ang unang pagka-ospital ng aming munting prinsesa. Siya ay nagkaron ng viral infection noong isang taon at na-ospital ng ilang araw. Para sa isang una-pa-lang-naging-nanay na tulad ko, nakakatakot at nakakalungkot ang mga araw na ito. Wala akong magawa para maibsan ang sakit at hirap na kanyang dinanas. Kaka-isang taon pa lang niya nito. Limitado ang kanyang paggalaw dahil sa suwerong nakakabit sa kanyang braso. Wala din siyang ganang kumain at bumaba ang kanyang timbang. Mugto ang kanyang mga mata dahil sa pag-iyak dahil sa kanyang nararamdaman. Buti na lamang at nandon ang kanyang paboritong laruan na si teddy para siya ay samahan at aliwin paminsan-minsan.



**
bakit ganon? parang lahat yata ng photosharing sites ay "under maintenance". 3:15pm na dito sa pinas. kasalukuyan kong ginagawa ang aking akda para sa linggong ito ng LP. pagka-upload ng mga litrato, bigla na lamang lumabas na naka-site maintenance ang photobucket. kenis naman. bakit lahat sila nag-maintenance. ang malas naman ng timing ko. :P
