Imagine, Sound of Silence - Vanilla Mood

I was browsing Youtube looking for Country Road version of the film Whispers of the Heart (Hayao Miyazaki). The song was English subtitled so I cannot sing to it, hehe. Then an entry on the sidebar interested me and I was glad to have clicked it, it was another version of the song played by a Japanese string quartet, Vanilla Mood.

The group, composed of Waka on flute, Yui on violin, Mariko on cello, and Keiko on piano, play mostly classics and Beatles originals. The group started performing in 2006. Here is their version of Imagine and the Sound of Silence. Listening to these reminds me so much of my Dad who loves 'em both.

Here's to a lovely week ahead of us!

Flowers in Venice

I find myself posting flower photos again...Two memes in one post...

Flowers, whether as buds, in full bloom or withering are beautiful, I guess we are all drawn to their beauty.

These flowers are no exception, Venice's architecture and culture are a wonderful sight, so are the flowers!

I am not sure what the first one is called, though it seems like orange bells, below are petunias.

Photo Hunt - Sad

I've once used these two photos for another meme...my son when he was a baby and later when he was about 2 years-old. Sad, crying, thinking, contemplating...ah I wouldn't know whats going on in his head..

Happy weekend everyone!

The Left Handed Artist

(June 08)

Blame me for my laziness and being always forgetful, these photos got stocked up in my files all these months, tsk tsk! Little boy made his first watercolor painting and I was so excited about it, I rolled up the painting the kindergarten tantes gave me and took it home. I showed hubby our youngest son's first attempt on Monet (hehe) but ended up forgetting to take a shot. Now I completely forgot to and thank them kindergarten tantes, they also have photos of the little boy doing his painting in action.

Its given, he likes playing with water a lot so painting for him is double the fun as he gets to play with colors too! And yes, my little boy is a left- handed as most famous artists were, the list goes from Albrecht Dürer, Paul Klee, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and more!

Here's a mom hoping for his little boy to follow their leads! =D

Litratong Pinoy - Aking Kompyuter

Dali dali akong naglitrato para sa lahok ngayon...pasensha na po, ayan makikita nyo na ginagawa ko ang lahok na ito sa screenshot =D

Eto ang aking so-called kompyuter...kasi yung iba nakikigamit lang ako kay hubby (4 ang sa kanya)... Pero hindi ko ito ginagamit sa sariling OS nya, gusto ko ang design ni Steve Jobs pero loyal ako sa OS ni Bill Gates. lol!

Happy LP!!!
