Computer problem

My computer kept freezing up and couldn't play video (Adobe flash plugin kept crashing down). It had been going on for quite a while . One time it suddenly went dead and won't turn on at all. I was so sad at that time for I can't check my blog and FB anymore and I had to use hubby's other computer to check them. Then hubby spent some time one night changing its power supply. It is back to working now but it still freezes up sometime, and can play video too but sometimes it crashes down. This is a major problem I think that requires time fixing. For the meantime, I have to bear this problem with all my patience. I hope it won't get worsen before hubby can get time to fix it. He is too busy at work at this time that he works even on Saturdays. And my apology to all of you if I cannot visit your blog on time.

Today's flowers

These are my hydrangea. I planted them in the front garden. They have plenty of flowers and looking so healthy this time because of the constant rain we have.


Have a great week!

My daughter's birthday

She turned 12 years old last Friday and so excited. We didn't have a party but we made a special cake for her. I decided to bake for the first time her birthday cake so that she can decorate it herself. I bought a few decorating stuff to help her out. Her auntie (my sister) together with her hubby and daughter came over earlier that afternoon to greet her on her special day. Three of her friends came over too on that day.
Last year she had a birthday party with our family, close friends and her friends. This time we decided not to have a birthday party for money is a bit tight at the moment, Christmas is fast approaching too and besides she will go to HS next year and I have to spend for her textbooks and new sets of uniform. I just gave her money so that she can buy whatever she likes for herself.
I can't share you any pictures taken on that day for I accidentally deleted the photos and I hate myself for that. I hope I will be able to recover them with the help of hubby of course. One time I accidentally deleted photos which were so precious to me for those were photos taken during my parents visit here but we were able to recover all of it. It just take time for hubby to do it because he can't spend longer time in the computer these days.

Watery Wednesday

It's time again for another Watery Wednesday and here is my post for this week.
I took this picture two years ago while we were in a ferry boat going to Manly. You can see the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background.


Happy Watery Wednesday.

Stung by a wasp

A wasp stung me yesterday afternoon. I was putting trash in our big rubbish bin outside, which has plants behind it that belongs to our neighbor. I didn’t notice the wasps busily constructing their nest on one of the plants. I just suddenly felt something on my right hand and I was in jabbing pain right away. I wasn’t able to sleep well throughout the night. It is swelling at the sight of the sting, reddish and it hurts. And right now, I can feel numbness.

When hubby came home later that afternoon, he sprayed the nest right away making sure that all of them couldn’t escape the spray. I think we got them all because this morning when I checked out the nest it was quiet and empty.

I have slight allergy to stings, a long time ago I got stung by a March fly on my right foot and I felt the same symptoms that I am having now. I could hardly even walk for days.

Today's flowers

I have a few cactus collection and one of them blooms this time.


Have a great week!

Farewell party photos

Here are just some photos that I took during Dorothy's Farewell Party last Tuesday. I took several photos at the party but since the school prohibits the posting of children photos or videos on line taken at school or any school event, activity and such without permission, I can't post them.I did her hair myself, my first time to do curl. I was having a hard time doing it that it took nearly an hour to finish it. I think my first time doesn't look bad at all. I still need more practice though.
