The Appearance Of A Rainbow

We were watching the Finale of The Bachelorette (Ali) tv show last night (August 2, 2010) and it was definitely a surprised twist that Ali sent home Chris a day earlier than what the show normally have it in the past, during the rose ceremony. After all that he been thru recently in his life, Ali did it more as a concern for Chris so he doesnt have to hope for Ali's decision to choose him when she already made up her mind at that point. And thats when a rainbow appeared in the Bora-Bora in Tahiti Island which reminded him of his mother. When they showed the rainbow on air, it was such a stunning rainbow specially in a beautiful island setting of Bora Bora.

As per my photograph above, i took this picture outside of our place, right after we had rain one time. With all the trees and houses nearby, it was hard to see the whole rainbow but it stand out pretty good in an amber cloudy day. There is something about rainbow that is so magical, it carries a message of hope, a peace and beauty after a storm.

Arguing Flamingoes

We went to the zoo few weeks ago, and encountered some of the most exotic wild species in this world. During our visit there, we got the chance t0 see flamingoes again, we saw one during our trip to a Florida park too. It was a nice relaxing day at the zoo with great sunny weather and some of the animals are in their food mood like when we were observing the flamingoes. There were quite a few flamingoes in a little section of the zoo, when all of the sudden we heared flamingoes started arguing with each other, atleast thats what it looked like to me, see the photo above. Looks like they are fighting who get the shrimps or something!

By the way, according to facts about flamingoes, they turn orange in color because of all the orange shrimps that they ate over time!

Not Ready For Changing Season

Here in California, we still have obvious summer days, with triple digits temperature in the weather forecast three (3) days in a row, today, tommorrow and the day after that! I am definitely not looking forward to it because its gonna be too hot to stay out and with the few number of days left for this summer season, I would like more comfortable sunny days to stay outdoors and not have to worry about the rainy days yet. We just bought a new gas barbeque and some outdoor furniture that we bought at cheaper prices because they had been clearance off as ending season sales. And I wish to enjoy them a little bit more before weather gets cold and wet outside. Not a really a good time to complain by having triple digit temperature days because while watching the The Weather Channel and some other telivision NEWS, other parts of the US are having rain and wind these past couple of days. Hurricane Gustav just passed the mid gulf coast the other day that led to more or less two million people to evacuate out of Louisiana, after experiencing a traggic hurricane Katrina three (3) years ago. And this time, hurricane Ike and Hannah are predicted to be going towards the United States as well, particularly in the east coast somewhere around South and/or North Carolinas. Hopefully, as it travel through the atlantic ocean, the hurricane will weaken.

Triple Digit Temperatures

For many people, comfortable outdoor temperature range around 70-89 degrees fahrenheit. When temperatures hit the triple digits, that is when it is definitely hot and beyond the comfort zone for a lot of us. When it get that hot, it is best to just stay indoors, if you are able to maintain a comfortable room temperature inside. Best ways to cool off your place indoors is by using running the central air, an aircon or an electric fan. House shaded with huge trees seems to be a lot cooler and will help minimize the use of any cooling unit. In some cities, there are designated cooling areas that you can cool off and take cover from the burning sun. If you need to be outdoors in a hot temperature, it helps if you stay in the shaded areas, away from the direct sun, and dont stay outdoor for long period of hours. Some quick cooling activities popular by many people is taking a quick cool shower, or take a quick swim in a cool pool.

Tommorrow Is Officially Summer

Its been weeks since the weather here in west coast feels like summer already, but as far as calendar days, the summer season (here in the US) will officially starts tommorrow, June 21.

Many family are perflexed what to do this summer time. With the soaring gas prices, a road trip is definitely the last thing in anyones mine right now. A beach getaway is definitely a favorite thing to do on a summer day for many of us, but if a person live far away from the ocean, then going to the beach might turnout to be a costly one. As a alternative for cooling down this summer days, an easy-to-install swimming pool that you can buy around $50 to $300, depending on the size and quality of the pool, would be a perfect alternative to keep cool this hot summer day.

If you have toddlers and kids in the family, make sure that you take the extra precautions and safety measures to keep them safe and off the pool unattended. Fun is great, but make safety the first priority.

Hidden Behind The Blooming Flowers

We recently check out a beautiful botanical garden with amazing collections of colorful plants and flowers. But only after few minutes of being there, we realized that there were several mosquitoes all over the beautiful area.

Most mosquitoes frequent in dumped and wet places, and since most garden are watered and can collect standing water in some parts of the plants and yard, it is common for mosquitoes to hang out in many garden areas. It is therefore necessary for us to protect ourselves from being bitten by mosquitoes because some mosquitoes may be infected and they can be carrier of diseases like west nile virus that they got from birds that mosquitoes can possibly transmit to humans.

So if you plan to stay outdoors to enjoy your flower garden or simply want to have a relaxing nap in your outdoor hammack, applying mosquitoes repellant will definitely make you less attractive to mosquitoes and better chances of keeping mosquitoes off you.

To all my fellow bloggers, sorry for my days absence here at blogosphere, I had to do some running around and also went out a little bit and enjoy the sunny outdoors, now that winter is over. I will be reviewing the messages in the tagboard as well, starting messages way back last April.
