LP #7: Umaapoy

Humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa aking kapwa litratista at hindi ako nakasali nung nakaraan linggo. Ako'y naging abala at nang mapansin ko'y gabi na ng Huwebes dito, Ipinagpasya kong wag nalang muna sumali nung isang linggo.

{Please excuse me, my fellow photographers for not joining you the past week. I became busy and before I knew it, it was already Thursday evening my time. I decided then not join anymore for the week.}

Ito sana ang ilalahok kong litrato. Ito ay ang Birheng Maria na nakaukit sa dahon. Ito'y ibinigay sa akin ng aking tatay nung sya'y nanggaling sa Mexico ata.

{This was supposed to be my entry. This is the Virgin Mary etched out of a leaf. My dad gave this to me when he traveled to Mexico one time}

Para naman sa linggong ito, napili ko ang kuhang ito ng aming fireplace nung nakaraang bisperas ng bagong taon. Hindi namin madalas nagagamit ang fireplace pagkat hindi naman gaanong lumalamig dito sa amin.

{This week, I've chosen this picture of our fireplace taken last New Year's Eve. We don't get to use it often because it does not get very cold where we are.}

Ito'y isang gas fireplace. Hindi tunay na kahoy ang ginagamit dyan. Naalala ko tuloy ang kwento ng aking kapatid tungkol sa kanyang kaibigan na bagong salta dito sa Amerika. Ito raw ay nagbukas ng fireplace sa kanyang apartment. Nang napansin nyang napalakas ang apoy ay nais na nyang patayin ito kaya't binuhusan nya ng tubig. Hayun at nasira ang fireplace. Gas pala ang fireplace nya.

{This is a gas fireplace. Those aren't real wood. I remember my bro's story of his friend who was new here. He turned on the fireplace in his apartment. When he noticed that the flames were a little too high, he dumped water on it to put off the flames. Of course, that broke the fireplace. He did not know it was a gas fireplace!}
