Why do religious art have missing parts? Do people keep the parts for luck?

Is one of those growing in the garden of our ancestral home. I don't know it's name or anything about it at all. Can you tell me something about this flower?

Looking Down

Why are the flamingos looking down? Are they hunting for food or mesmerized by their reflection?

Oh My Gulay!

Ensalada, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Just one of the dishes served in our last family get-together. This was later topped with Oishi's Bread Pan. I thought that that was inventive. I've never used the snack that way.

Psst, Ingat!

Karaniwang pinaalalahanan ng mga doktor ang publiko na uniwas sa pagkaing nabibili sa kalye dahil di tayo nakakatiyak sa kalinisan nito. Maari itong pagmulan ng sakit katulad ng hepatitis o pagtatae. Maingat ka ba o mahilig sa bawal?

Doctors commonly caution the public about eating street bought food because of sanitation and safety issues. We can get diseases such as hepatitis or diarrhea from its consumption. Are you cautious or do you like to eat what's forbidden?

When It Rains...

Rainy Day Express, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

...Hong Kong Disneyland rolls out the Rainy Day Express carrying the characters in its compartments. Instead of the usual dancing on the streets, they just dance around the compartment and wave to the parade viewers. We experienced this in lieu of the usual parade when our visit was marred by a downpour. At least, we got to see Plan B.
