February 29 sunset

It's the last day of February and it is a bit special because the year 2020 is a leap year. I was born on a leap year 48 years ago but not on the 29th so I get to celebrate my birthday on a regular day. Well, not really, as my birthday falls on a regular holiday in the Philippines.

Our little one joined me in marveling at the view. Well, sort of, as she quickly turned away to look for stones and wild flowers nearby.

Worth the wait - February 2020's last sunset on the 29th day

The return of the typewriter?

I saw a feature on the inflight magazine of Cebu Pacific. It showed an accessory for your notebook or tablet that made it look like a modern typewriter. It says the feel on this would be like that of the typewriters of old so I guess you can hit the keys like they were of the sturdy old machines.

I suddenly remember the first time I used a computer and a friend casually and jokingly told me to be easy on the desktop keyboards. I was so used to the typewriter at home that I was hitting the computer keyboards as if I was using a typewriter with it hard to press keys. I learned to adjust quickly but given this new accessory, it probably wouldn't hurt to get reacquainted with this type of keyboard.

The afternoon clouds

We were arriving home one afternoon when the wife spotted an amusing cloud formation. I took this photo from the car with our mango tree in the foreground.

The clouds look like they were a subject of a famous artist/painter

It is still cool during the nighttime and mornings at our place in Antipolo. Temperatures are generally lower compared to Metro Manila and we enjoy the breeze and even the occasional strong winds that tend to make temperatures even lower than the actual. I hope this lasts well into March though we've noticed daytime temperatures have started to become warmer.
