WFW: Psalm 51:10
For Wordless Wednesday, please scroll down.
It's my first time to join Word-Filled Wednesday...and I have to thank Nancie for introducing me to this nice weekly activity which with God's grace I so intend to do always.
Below is not an original work, I can't come up with a photo with a Bible verse last minute and I don't want to bother IT Guy (well, I tried but he is in a meeting...LOL) so I just grab this one. I love this verse and I got this from Webshots Family.
For more Word-Filled Wednesday participants, please visit Amy at The 160 Acre Woods. It will be a very blessed and encouraging experience for you!

I am hosting this week's FUN Monday...yet Mariposa will still do her traditional Monday Fever...for scroll down below for Music and Manic Monday!
FUN Monday is for us to have some FUN on a Monday...so I'm going to get into your minds and do just that...have some FUN!
Collections...
We all have them...and if you don't, you do....you just may not realize it. For some reason or another we all collect something and we collect it for reasons that will definitely make for good reading. So on Monday, I want to see your collection. If you don't have or don't want or CAN'T (wink) show us a picture, then tell us what the collection is in 10 words or less. Then tell us why you started collecting it.
Mariposa collects A LOT of stuff...such as...
(1) Obviously, I collect mariposas! Yup, I collect butterflies...and anything that has butterflies!
(2) And pearls!
(3) I collect shawls! Most of my shawls I got them from my travels...
These are on top of the other things I have mentioned that I collect such as sayings and quotations! I'd live to thank KB for helping me come up with this wonderful theme!

Let's Learn English!
My first time to join Smiley Saturday...
I hope the article below makes you smile!
Let's face it -- English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you comb through annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preacher praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a letter, perhaps you bote your tongue?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another.
Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Met a sung hero or experienced requited love? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable? And where are all those people who ARE spring chickens or who would ACTUALLY hurt a fly?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

Wishing You Are Here...
it will be my kisses that will wake you up...
My second time to join Robin (Pensieve) Friday's 40 Photo Challenge!It's very easy and fun! How does the picture above inspire you?
Does a snappy caption come to mind? A few quick lines of verse? A short, short, short story?
Friday's 40 Photo Challenge is all that! 40 (or less) words in response to the weekly photo prompt.
Feast One Hundred & Ninety One
Appetizer
What is the nearest big city to your home?
Well, I live in the city...Cebu City is quite big...next would be Manila and Davao. Manila being the capital city of the Philippines and Davao being the largest city here in terms of land area.
Soup
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?
I would say 9! I will not compromise any information even at the point of death, especially if I know what are the consequences of it being divulged.
Salad
Describe your hair (color, texture, length).
My hair naturally is black, I'm Asian! But early last year I dyed it...from a quick look, it would look like dark brown...yet when hit by light you see a range of colors...from auburn...to light and dark brown...something like that. My hair is layered...so some are shoulder length and the longest strands are elbow length.
Main Course
What kind of driver are you? Courteous? Aggressive? Slow?
I'm an aggressive driver...but I am courteous to those who follow traffic rules... I just hate slow drivers...I'm sorry. But lately, I rarely drive...it's just way too stressful for me.
Dessert
When was the last time you had a really bad week?
I am having one right now...read the post before this and you'll know!
