Loving/Missing Snow

We’ve got very little snow this season and we’re hoping for more. It was a usual school day, took the kids to school, went about my daily routines and picked them up again…I had to shoot and did very few but I’m glad I still did because I’m not so sure if we’re still  having snow this season. *sigh* 🙁 — for:

What Type of Photo Frame Are You?

Photo frames are obviously for framing photos, but they are also an extension of you! If you are an outgoing extrovert-type of person, chances are that you have brightly colored digital picture frames for your pictures – red, blue, silver or with designs on the frames.

Engrish

Having a different way of writing is never easy especially at the airports, since most of the travelers going transit or visiting that particular country use Latin/Roman alphabet. On one of our connecting flights we stopped-over at Taiwan and there were not one but many phrases or notes that we saw that made us giggle.

Rack cards

I’ve been collecting a number of souvenirs whenever I got the chance to go somewhere. Some of those souvenirs have been featured here already. Then while cleaning up our bookshelf today I saw some pamphlets and rack cards of Paris, Singapore and Prague. They were in an envelop of our plane/train tickets bought when we went to those places. I’m collecting those too so that when I get the chance… Read More »Rack cards
