over-exposed!?

Over-excitement sometimes leads to forgetfulness, but it's making me update my blog.

Normally, when I have access to a dsl net connection, I would just download tons of stuff after checking my email...but since I forgot to bring CD-RWs for this session cos I was mostly preparing for the Isengard event, I'll just update this blog and do some long overdue changes in the links.


Thanks a ton to Ely for the food and drinks and to Peloy for the food and the place and to everybody else for the great company. I really miss you people! (that's my cheesy moment right there.)


Anyhoo, just so you'll appreciate the effort I made (for whatever its worth) in giving you plant names in my links, I'll list down the common names of said plants in order after this. After all, only Bengki will probably recognize them for what they are.

Cat tails (methinks this needs no explanation)
Papyrus (it's the same one as the Egyptians used. I say it's appropriate =D)
Weeping Bottlebrush tree (pssst, favorite mo ba ito dati?)
Water Lotus (sacred ito sa mga egyptians. napakadami niyang gamit, edible as well as medicinal.)
Wedelia (a weedlike plant. grows everywhere with small yellow flowers)
Water Hyacinth (marami nito sa pasig!)
Staghorn fern (it was either this or a plant called penisettum hehe)
Morning Glory (kamag-anak ng patatas at kangkong pero maganda ang kulay ng bulaklak para sa 'kin)
Water Lettuce (also locally known as "kiyapo". yes, dito nanggaling ang pangalan ng quiapo kse marami
lumulutang nito dun noon. no joke!)
Night-blooming Water Lily (isa lang siya sa varieties.pero interesting kse sa gabi lang nag-oopen ang bulaklak. pasensiya, this is the most non-obscene way I can think of saying that.)

You all belong to my pond hahahahah!
Next time when I'm better prepared, I might actually post or use images as the links themselves. Maybe.
If you feel like I've inappropriately stuck a plant name at you, feel free to suggest a more suitable representation.
