Toys

We were at Gaisano Mall of Davao yesterday evening without anything to buy in mind except for grocery shopping. We just went window shopping, hopping from one shoe store to another until we got tired. After the shoe store hopping, we went to our so-called toy store just to check if they have something new. I am not talking of the literal toys here but I was talking of the toys for big boys and girls who’s heart…and wallet is into photography.*LoL*. Luckily, Ace got hold of the Canon EF 500mm f/1.4 and was shocked to know the price of that little lens. Anyway, we can’t afford to have additional lens for our toy - Canon 400D as of now. So we’re just contented that we have got our hands to one of the Canon’s prime lenses. 

Talking of toys, I posted something that I wish to get for Ella. The little girl said she likes it or if I can’t get it, she wanted to have a toy laptop instead. She was asking for a laptop way back and when I chance to check at Toy Kingdom in SM city last month, it costs almost $100. Yay! That’s too expensive. Tita is not earning that much lately so I cannot buy it. I was searching for nice toys online and I found one like Carrot - Ella’s doll. It looks beautiful and far more cheaper than the laptop. How I wish that online store has local branch so it won’t cost me much for the shipping and handling in case I would push thru on getting a doll for the little girl. 

Today’s Flower: Nameless violet

This is one of the many flowers found in Crocodile Park in Davao City. I have seen a lot like this but too bad that I wasn’t able to know it’s name. Hope somebody could help me name this beautiful violet flower.

Friendster addict

After so long, we’re able to go to Bankerohan Public Market early tonight. Though we had our grocery shopping last night, we only got meat, canned goods and other supplies but we skip getting veggies. Prices in the mall’s supermarket almost or more than double the price than in the market. One thing more, farm produce in the public market is more fresh than the ones being sold at the supermarket. So for veggies and spices, we usually get it in the market or in the store nearby.The fridge is almost full of fresh vegetables so we will be eating veggies everyday until we consume all the supplies. 

By the way, Che2x was supposed to go with us but she was nailed at her seat in front of the PC updating her friendster account. Again! This girl spends most of her time in the internet doing unproductive things like friendster. She’s not getting tired of logging in her account everytime she has the chance to use the internet and that is EVERYDAY. So earlier, she’s got all the time while we were at the market and when we arrived, she’s not yet done with it. I just don’t know if she was able to do other things or open other sites while we’re not around. We could check it though through the browsing history but it’s not detailed like a keylogger. Keylogger is designed with the kids in mind so parents would know and control the internet browsing activity of their kids but it could also be good to have one even if there’s no kid at home. 

Camera Critters: Parrot @ Davao Crocodile Park

Here’s one of the many multi-colored Parrots in Davao Crocodile Park. You may wonder why there’s Parrot in the Crocodile Park. The park once started as a crocodile farm and lately added some animals ‘coz it might be boring if only crocodiles can be seen in the park.
