elapot's project 365 is no more

i skipped a day (i forgot to take a picture), and then another day, and then another... so just as i predicted, i wouldn't be able to complete this project. time to kill it then and start anew... maybe i can start on day 1 of 2011... we'll see...

meanwhile, you can view whatever i've completed from this flickr collections page.

P365-10.07.21:"elapot's farm on 07.21.10"

now, who's addicted to farm story?!... 'fess up! =)

this is a snap of elapot's farm taken on 07.21.10 (the time stamp of the picture is 07.27.10 though. somehow flickr was taking the date when it was uploaded trough the ipod touch flickr app)

as of today, this farm has a lil bit more animals and trees. i'm trying to get enough coins to expand to 15x15. this farm looks promising. i have a lot of plans for it ya know?! i just hope i get enough gems to buy a family house (why oh why did i ever use those gems to buy a dachsund?! tell me!)... any other tips out there on how i can get more gems?

P365-10.07.26:"tabouli salad night"

since we didn't have anything from the fridge but a few leftovers, i rummaged through our pantry to look for something to match these leftovers. and there it was... a box of wheat tabouli.

i just cooked it as per the box instructions, placed it in the fridge for 30mins, stirred in some diced tomatoes and cucumbers, drizzled some olive oil and lemon juice, seasoned with salt (the box includes a packet of seasoning and dried herbs already), and ta-dah!... refreshing tabouli salad

P365-10.07.17:"the water curtain"


P365-10.07.17:"the water curtain", originally uploaded by dasims.

this very haawwwttt summer saturday saw us with the daguros at roaring springs! it's actually our first tme to go to that waterpark. we thought that at this age, and for someone who loves the pool, slides and playmates so much, joel would already appreciate water parks. but nah, we're wrong. at least it is not what i expected.

when we got there, she was hesitant to go down. so we were carrying her almost during the first half of our water park escapade. to top it all, she didn't like all those strong water fountains and showers hitting her face. and i think she also got a lil bit scared of all those people (and i tell yah, the park is almost full!) shouting , laughing, etc.

after lunch she was able to warm up though. and so after enjoying a few of those adult slides and floating by the endless river, we never left the kiddie area (that's why most of our pictures were taken within that area). we only even stayed at the wave pool for a bit since the lil girl only wanted to be nowhere else but the kiddie area. at least she's still able to go down that water slide with daddy... but nah, "no more slide", she said, after that (she took in a bit of water since it's all over her face when they were going down, heehee).

it was a fun fun, albeit hot (at 98F!), exhausting wet day! we'll definitely go there again! maybe next time we'd be able to experience the fun that the other adventurous slides offer.well, just maybe =)

the rest of the pictures and videos from our roaring springs escapade is here. (ps. not everything is visible publicly so just lemme know if you wanna see all of 'em)

P365-10.07.10:"devonshire garage sale year 2"

we had the yearly community garage sale this saturday. and it was freakin' haaawwwt at 96F! wooh! some of our friends joined us in selling their used (and unused) items as well.

yep, it was a fun way to raise funds, but it's actually just an excuse to have a get-together which means chikahan, bbq-han and kainan!

we had more buyers last year than this year. nevertheless, we still earned about $80+ from our items. ang saya!
