My kids currently love stones, so last week I took them for a visit to the stone market here in Jakarta. They were so excited, preparing their wallets with their savings inside. I had to warn them not to bring all and to put a maximum cap on what they are willing to spend.

We arrived early, thus some shops were still closed. But as we descended to the basement, it turned out that life has started there. The place was packed, full of people and unfortunately also full of their cigarettes’ smoke.

We had a look around the floor, observing the activities, and of course the beautiful stones available there. The kids ended up buying a “jade” necklace and a turquoise necklace. Let’s see for how long are they going to wear them.

This frangipani tree stands in the corner, just next to my father’s cemetery. It provides a nice shade for us while sitting around there.

When we visited the cemetery a couple of weeks ago on his birthday, the sun shining through between its leaves caught my attention. It just feels so serene in the midst of the morning heat.

Whimsical

I love this particular shot of my 8 years old which I took this morning on our first day of holiday, while we were just relaxing and enjoying the villa. He was spraying water from his mouth up in the air. The water drops and bubbles flying around his face look so whimsical. The fact that he has lost his 2 front teeth and a new one just started peeking out, makes his whole face even funnier.

I wonder when can one get enough of purchasing christmas decoration, once one starts. Luckily I have lived in the Philippines, where the variety of christmas decorations is endless and rather inexpensive, even though mainly are made in China, not locally produced :-). This year I decided not to buy more. Well, at least for the time being, in the middle of December.
