Incy Wincy Spider

Last Wednesday morning when I opened the door of our back room, I was greeted by this big hairy Spider. He was on one of my mini roses sitting comfortably without making any movement upon my appearance. I hurriedly went back inside to grab my camera with the hope that he is still there on the mini rose. And yes, wish granted by him, he was still right in the same place when I left as if he was waiting to pose for me.
I made a quick research about this type of Spider and I found out that this is a Huntsman Spider.To see more Critters from all around the world please click, here.

Glad it was fixed

I woke up yesterday annoyed with our telephone. I thought to ring my sister here first thing in the morning and tell her some updates as I chatted with our eldest sister in Cebu the night before, who was just arrived from her trip to our island. I was up late chatting with her. I was just excited to ring her but the moment I tried to ring her, our telephone was dead flat, no ring tone. I waited for few minutes and it's still the same. I checked out all the wiring including the 3 handsets connecting to it if they were properly in place but everything were all right. I can't figured out what was wrong with it. I told hubby about it and waited for few minutes again. Then, we started receiving calls in our mobile phones from people who tried to contact us that they can't get through our land-line. We rang the telephone company and told them the problem. They assured us that somebody will be in our place as soon as possible to check it out. After about 20 minutes later, a man came by from the telephone company and checked out the problem. He found out that the wiring of the plug at the main line was defective and fixed it in no time. Glad for their immediate reply of the matter.

Today's flowers

These are the last batch of my lilium blooms and my favorites among my collection. I don't see any buds coming anymore. Unfortunately this season, their flowers are not that bigger and many, unlike the past years but we still enjoy them.

My kids are back to school

Today about 735,000 students across NSW head back to school for 2010. I woke up early to get everything ready. Dorothy and David have been waiting for this day to come because they already missed their friends and the fun in school. They woke up early too and were so excited. I stayed in the school until David got to his new class (yr 1) and glad he is with the teacher whom he had been wishing for. Dorothy is in year 6 now. And by the way, this coming Monday, is one of the most exciting days for Dorothy for they are going to have their Swimming Carnival which will be held in Blacktown Aquatic Center and she is going to compete again for their team. I hope she will do alright in the competition like last year and most of all have fun all throughout the day. Good luck!

I'm back

Yes, I am back on track now after few days of being away. We arrived last Sunday afternoon. I missed my blogs and everyone here but didn't have much time to sit down in front of my computer right away. I was stacked with some works around the house that needed my attention and did grocery shopping for the things we need for the week. The unpacking is always my worst part in every trip plus the trip is over, so no excitement anymore. But I was just glad that I was able to finish it before Monday and before my laziness settles in. My garden had not been watered for days and thankfully there are no casualties occurred when I checked it out.
We had sizzling hot days during our entire holiday but glad we still managed to have a fantastic time. We stayed in a friend's house in the country side and headed off every afternoon to the beach when temperatures subsided, swimming, walking, relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze and the views around until early evening. We all had a great time and can't wait for the next holiday.
