Life In A Snapshot

This would make a perfect Christmas Fruit Carving. I was awed seeing upon seeing this. This watermelon fruit carving is made by a Hotel and Restaurant Management student of Joji Ilagan Bian Foundation College in Davao City. My sister Che2x was even more excited to try fruit carving and has been asking me to buy a carving knife for her. 

Happy Tuesday!!!! Join us in Ruby Tuesday here.

This is my sister and her classmate’s entry in centerpiece decoration during the JIB’s 2nd skills competition. Sadly, they didn’t bagged any place. There are other better entries that didn’t even get to the top 3. Anyway, it’s a contest so it depends upon the judges’ preference. 

She hasn’t shown me their first output during their practice and if I have seen it, I should have suggested to use white or yellow flowers to add contrast between the foil paper being used as gift wrapper and the fruits. 

They relied on the florist’ comment during their rehearsal that it looks good..no other things to improve and they were thinking he might be one of the judges so they didn’t bother to improve their work. That florist is a known wedding florist at coordinator here in Davao and now I’ve got doubts on his capability.hahaha Seems I’ve got better eyes than him.*wink*

Christmas is truly in the air. We went to SM City last Sunday night where Ace bought the lens he gave me. My sister Che2x had a haircut afterwards so we headed to where I and Ace used to have our hair cut. There I got this photo of plastic poinsettias arranged in a wreath hanging in the parlor’s ceiling. Literally, Christmas is in the air.

Happy Ruby Tuesday! Share your photos of something RED here.

One of the skills that I would like to learn…fruit carving. I know this isn’t easy as I have seen only HRM students can do it or those who are trained to do so. My sister, Che2x doesn’t even know or have not tried doing it. It should be included in one of their subjects in Hotel and Restaurant Management. But then she wanted to learn on her own and asked me to buy her a carving knife which is more expensive than the ordinary knife we use in the kitchen. 

By the way, this photo is taken at the reception in hubby’s sister’s wedding the other month. I was eyeing for this so I could bring it home and look at it closely how it was carved but somebody was luckier than me. I wonder if anybody would dare eating this carved watermelon fruit or just display it. 

We’ve been to Crocodile Park last week but we had more photos of other animals than the crocs. Here’s one of the parrots with stunning red feathers. Wish we could also buy a pair of this kind ‘coz they’re so adorable!

Kid’s favorite and most especially my niece Ella’s favorite. When she was younger, she doesn’t want only one balloon but M-A-N-Y. In my childhood years, we could only have a balloon during town fiesta. Balloons on stick is not yet introduced then so we have helium balloons that we tie in our wrists so it won’t fly. Seems I have that fixation over balloons because it was not satisfied then that’s why when I see balloons these days, I can’t help but say “wow!”. Would you believe I am dreaming to celebrate my birthday with lotsa balloons in different colors? I would really do that on my next birthday and if that happens, it would be my first time to celebrate a birthday with balloons.

My first capture of a RED sky after a sunset. This was taken last month. Just see how the sky turned RED in just a few seconds and was gone after a couple of minutes.  

Finally, the fountain in People’s Park was operational during the Kadayawan week. We were roaming around when we spotted some students playing in the fountain area. Of all the fountain color effects, this red one caught my attention.

Kalachuchi (Plumera rubra) or Temple Flower/Frangipani in English. What we are used to are the white and pink ones used in leis, anklets and bracelets. However, with Plant Breeding and Genetics one can produce hybrids in different colors resulting to beautiful vibrant flowers. Here’s my entry for Ruby Tuesday…some of the Kalachuchi photos I took in the Agro-Trade Fair of Kadayawan Festival 2008.
