It’s cloudy but it’s not raining. And yes, the breeze is just enough to dry the bedsheets and pillowcases I ran in the washing machine at 5am. The sun is trying to show its face but it is still partly hidden by those dark clouds.
Gardening.
Just done pulling out those stubborn weeds in the area at the side of the house which was not planted with carabao grass. I brought home some cuttings of Pothos plants, Mayana and another crawling plant that I could not identify. The Mayana cuttings come in three shades/varieties and they are now thriving well. There are so many plants there in our old house that I could bring home but I just commuted back so it would be an inconvenience to bring so many baggages.
Going green.
Trying to make green veggies our staple too. They are actually healthier than eating red meat. Fish is a nice alternative to eating pork or chicken. You just have to be a little creative in cooking recipes from fish. I was just talking to my youngest brother from Tulsa a while ago and he suggested that I could also use the leaves of our Philippine lime (calamansi) to sour fish sauce like “sinigang”. We have lots of ripe calamansi from the two trees that we have here. Just harvested almost a kilo the other day. Best used for juices and marinades.
Books and Reading
Last night, Josef uploaded Moonreader, an app used for e-books. I can now see my shelf on my new tab. Still learning how to navigate this Samsung Tab A 8. Just been released three months ago. I wonder if it also has some features about the last page where you stopped and continue reading. I lost my recent list of TBRs but gained all the books I deleted and read before. My previous tab has features where you could enlarge or reduce the font for each book that you would want to read and you can also choose font types. Haha, I didn’t know that you can trade off previous phones to shops that deal on repair. Josef did and got a little cash value out of it.
Photos
Who would know that your tab or phone would go kaput on you and you were not able to save all those beautiful photos that you took and photos from Viber and Messenger that you uploaded? My gallery is back to zero. Nada. Zip.
No idea what title I’ll give to this post. So I am borrowing a title of our high school presentation called Walang Pamagat which means no title in English.
That’s a shame that you lost your photos. I would grieve if they were mine.

I’m very conscious of backing up documents and photos, but I have lost a few things through the years. It’s sad.

Does anyone else have your missing photos? I know my daughter saves lots of mine, though she wouldn’t have the unpublished ones.

Nissa has them because they are mostly family photos but those I took of the garden are now lost.

Do you not have cloud storage via your Tab?

Sorry Ray, I don’t know about that.

Arlene, you might check into some kind of back-up storage for your photos. That way if your device dies, you won’t lose your photos. I use both a cloud account and also an old-fashioned external storage drive to save my photos, etc. It’s not expensive to use either.

I’m glad you translated the title, Arlene. 🙂
Try Dropbox. Then you won’t lose your photos if it happens again.

Julie has it on her Tablet, and her phone. I have it on my PC too.
We didn’t pay anything for it here.
Best wishes, Pete.

Be sure that you find a way to back up the photos next time. Ask Josef about cloud storage.
