It’s Friday! That means it’s the weekend for me! Yay. On the way back home today, I saw this pretty rose in my mom’s garden, so I immediately grabbed my camera and went to take a few photos of flowers. Actually, these three are all that I took today, hence the whole snapshots of flowers thing. I just snapped it and took it in without really looking at how it looked on the screen. Not too shabby, eh?

I don’t think I’ve ever taken a photo of the night blooming cereus after the night it blooms, so here it is. It looks so sad compared to yesterday. Haha.

Today my mom was watering her garden as she usually does everyday, and she found out that the night blooming cereus were in bloom again this summer. In case you forgot, night blooming cereus only blooms at night and only once in the middle of the summer. So when she called me about it, it was around sunset, and they were closed like the photo above.

It was actually very hard to take a photo of them this time, and it was because two flowers bloomed from one leaf, so the two flowers were very close to each other.

And this is how it turned out when they are just that close together. The two flower bumps to each other as they are blooming, so when I tried to take a photo of them, only one side would be lit or what not. Now I’m just enjoying the sweet smell that the flowers emit since these flowers are just outside my window.

I came back home from work, and my brother wanted to go out to eat, so my brother, his friend Michael and I went to Tamaya. I wasn’t really in the mood for ramen, especially since the bowls they serve the ramen in are usually pretty big. So I ordered Katsu Don, which is a fried pork cutlet with rice. They also came with a side of miso soup and salad, so that was nice. The bowl of Katsu Don was actually a pretty big bowl, too, and I didn’t even get to finish it! I bet that’s going to be my dinner at work tomorrow, though. At least I hope so because I don’t want my brother to eat it. Anyway, I was satisfied that I got Katsu Don since it tasted pretty good. I would definitely order it again if I’m in the mood for some.

I don’t wear jewelry a whole lot; in fact, I only got my ears pierced last December, and I had to wear these pair of studs that I didn’t even consider them that pretty looking for about four months before wearing another pair of studs that my mom got at Ross for about another month or so. I did buy these pair of earrings before my graduation, though, and I find them pretty looking. I didn’t take any photo of them, though. Now I don’t really wear any earrings unless I’m going out. Anyway, enough about earrings since this is about the necklace I bought at the mall yesterday. As I said before, I don’t wear jewelry a lot. I actually don’t like to buy them since I find them expensive, and unless it’s something I really like, I wouldn’t get it. I went to check out this isle that they had at Macy’s and found this necklace that happened to say Virgo on it. I was like: “Oooh, I’m a Virgo” and looked to see how the necklace was like. I actually liked how simple it looked with the charms. So I think I’m also going to begin to take photos of jewelry whenever I get some. It can really help me with my product photography, too, except this was taken under my small lamp next to my bed, so this one doesn’t really count. Haha.
