Always bring a camera around....

Cottonball in a staid mode

Funny thing happened while I was doing my usual chores around the house and Cottonball was in hyper self again. I think he was hungry. He was following me around and taking a bite off a toe. Sheesh. Well, I just wasn't able to take a pic of him getting off-balanced from his perch and laughed when I practically heard a thud when he landed on the ground between the space of the stairs and the curve of our fence. I had a feeling he'd fall again because he fell on the same spot before. Hahaha. I don't know what's up with that cat sometimes. My  feline comedian. 

What makes you feel young again and a tad out of the calendar month?

From Bandai.com

I feel like a kid again when I catch some new animated series offerings that tickle my interest and since I always like storyboards and I enjoy catching Disney's blurb on what goes on the animator's desk, I will always have an inclination to check out any latest animated film or cartoon series.

An animated series gets my two thumbs up if there are story arcs, lots of action, mysteries, character developments, pretty decent cartoon faces, (so far I'm still trying to wrap my head on cubism and other stylized ways of drawing an animated character) and characters where you can empathize more or less. Well, being a grown up and we have that adult, cynical view of things. Lolz. Few animated series can knock that down and I'm hope more animation projects will come along.

So what makes me older? Well, checking the job section and it says. "until age 26." Lolz. I guess if you're thinking of resigning by that time, don't. Tough it up. Develop avenues that you think will assuage the tendrils of burn-out so that another day in the office won't turn out a chore. 

Organic Mosquito Repellent

Bug be gone by bathbody

Dengue is very much in the news and while I was checking out my plants around past noon, a mosquito  made its presence known! Yikes, it had stripped legs. I hope it's not what I think it is. It's not a good idea to get sick today or ever in this time. 

I heard the past week about onion peels can be a mosquito repellent so I surfed a bit and found Tipnut with gardening tips to boot.

My petunia last month 

I didn't know onion peels can be helpful against aphids. *sigh* It ravaged my petunia and it's dying. Now, I understood that I need to plant lots of garlic for the plants. ☺ I'm a neophyte that it shows. haha. I also heard from the news about planting citronella plant which has a natural mosquito repellent factor for the garden. I will just do that.

Theodore: Psssttt, Simon what are you doing? 

Simon: (creeps)  I'm just doing some pure recon here.  (sniffs) It's safe. It's only an inanimate object left by the humans. C'mon, Theodore. (nibbles) It's harmless and get your share before Alvin....

Alvin: Hi-ya!!!! (delivers a flying kick) Theodore! The monster's been taken care of, food for all! 

The bear tumbles.

So I asked Mr. Google and I found couple of sites that gave an how to add reply link to the comments page however, mine turned out not the way I pictured though. Something in threaded format. Hmm, needed to search around I guess.

weird looking mushroom

I practically stopped when I spotted this mushroom sprouting near the plant's base.
