My preschooler and his classmates saw this moth in school. They were very excited and they gathered around it. I didn’t have my camera and I forgot my cellphone. Good thing a fellow mom was kind enough to snap a photo of it using her cellphone.

I saw this one walking along our garden. It was walking in a hurry but managed to take a photo. We fondly refer to it as “singsing hari” or roughly translated as ring of king. When you touch one, it curls its body making it look like a ring.  I have no idea where the king part came from but I grew up referring to it as “singsing hari“.

I think curling into a ring is its defense mechanism. It also gives out a pungent smell when you touch it too much. It has many legs but it’s not a centipede. Do you know what’s the real name of this one?

I saw this lovely cockatoo at the pet store.  He wasn’t shy, in fact, he seemed very sociable.  I guess he is accustomed to people going in and out of the store . I hope he finds a good home soon.

My four year old son, Yohan loves looking at the fish tank filled with guppies and sword tails in school.  We  have a small empty aquarium at home so I was inspired to buy Yohan some guppies and sword tails of his own.  Yohan was very happy about his new pets.

This is a Silver Arowana that I saw at a pet shop in Cartimar.  It is a fresh water fish which is a popular pet in Asia.  It has relatively large scales, a long body and tapered tail. In the wild, an arowana can jump high out of the water to capture its prey (e.g. large insects). It often swims near the surface area of the water waiting for an opportunity to feed.

I dedicate my entry this week to my Dad in honor of Father’s Day. This photo was taken last month while my parents were having a vacation with us. My Dad developed a nice bond with our dog, Bruno. My Dad enjoyed taking Bruno for a walk twice a day around the village. Whenever Bruno would sense my Dad’s presence nearby, he would wag his tail and bark enthusiastically. When my parents left for the States, Bruno lost appetite for a day or two. It showed how much he missed my Dad.

Sorry i missed last week’s CC. I’m glad to be back.  Here’s  a picture of my son, Yohan.  He was very happy to meet his uncle’s new Rottweiler puppy named Ashley.

This photo was taken at Ocean Adventure, Subic when we went there last month. We had a wonderful time watching the intelligent sea lions perform. The adorable sea lion on the photo is Madison.

This is Bruno, our pet Labrador. He is too lazy to sit and smile for the camera but he is fast on his feet when he sees any of us holding his leash. It only means he is up for a walk. Below is a photo of my son, Yohan and Bruno taken some time ago while they were out on a nice walk in the village.

Here are two tortoises with different personalities. One is outgoing and sociable. The other one, a little too shy to say hello to the camera. :)

I’m on my way out with my family. I will catch up with my visits later. Take care!
