This Is It!

Sustained by two silk strands
A lovely sight to see
I did not know it is this day,
the resting stage to be.

No more feeding.

The breaking down and
the building up.

Pry not but wonder
The lessons to ponder.

20110730 Something About It

This morning I was awakened by the bird!
I couldn't be laying awake all night waiting for this.
I rushed to the balcony...

20110728 It & Something

A Caterpillar clinging for dear life.
Took it in for some photographs
but couldn't find a satisfying pose.
It wasn't that wriggly
Just inexperience on my part.

Took the whole pot out again,
cannot decide its fate.
Where it will be tomorrow
has to wait for the day to come.

Flapping wings by my window
Would wake me up in the mornings.
I missed them these rainy days
It could make their day.

I can hear the raindrops
Saved from its predator
Hope to see it be a pupa
instead of something's supper.

20110726 Awry Rhyme

There are days I can't deny, 
when a meal can make me shy,
when a meal can make me want to cry.

Thrown in haste
this fishy taste.
Do not pry
I'll tell you why.


That's fresh mango before 
your eye.
What a sight!
I hear your sigh.


Such an eerie combination 
a stretch of imagination
to save a sauce that went awry
caused by a canned supply.


This careless mistake,
A potful of headache,
got to be dealt with this July
even secretly 
a sty is desired nearby.


Grant me wisdom I pray,
I shall wait each day
Give me a clue or two
or simply just a cue.

Pets Or Pests

Look what paid us a visit today.
Well, actually I didn't let them in.
I brought this pot of orange seedlings into the house
to liven up my desk with
something green.
I remembered washing some soil off the leaves
after I transferred them to the glass container
four days ago.
The eggs must have slipped my eyes.

Look, it is not alone.
Pets or pests which shall they be?
Pets?
I can be a snooper
as these larvae turn to be pupae
Pests?
Reality came in through the windows
as I watched those strong jaws.
Pets?
I used to tear open pupas
This time I can watch metamorphosis
Pests?
What voracious appetite!
If I only know how many days
it would take for them to get
to the pupal stage.

They can defoliate my seedlings.
Seedling that I've waited months to grow.

I would want an orange tree or two...

Pests!
They have to go!

Taking A Break

What have I been doing since my last post?

Lazying around, which I'm so good at.

Well, physically maybe since I've been visiting bloggers 

whom I've followed.

It is nice to see Cooper growing up and is now actively crawling around.

It feels like opening a package and looking into its contents as I updated myself on the beach house which was undergoing remodeling.
The owner decided to raise the house 9 feet above the ground for the beach view.
I've lost track of the number of blogs I've visited, blogs about  home decor and crafts
and blogs about life in New York.

All for now,

I'm off to the kitchen for my chicken and spinach casserole

and then back to organizing and rearranging the books and stuff around the apartment.
Call it the influence of blogging.
Son will have a surprise when he comes home from summer camp tomorrow.

It is raining again, just love everything about it..

Thank God for this joyful feeling.
Thank God for the day.
