The Beez!

Bumble bees are big, fuzzy insects recognized by almost everyone by their robust shape and black and yellow coloration. The common species are 3/4 inch in length or more. Like honey bees, bumble bees live in a colony where the adults care for the young (larvae) produced by a single queen. Bumble bee nests are small compared to honey bees, as each nest contains only a few hundred individuals. Also unlike honey bees, a bumble bee nest is annual and is used only one year and then abandoned.

Bumble bees usually nest in the ground in a deserted mouse nest or bird nest. Occasionally they nest in cavities within a wall or even in the clothes drier vent.

In the spring, the queen selects a nest site and starts the colony by lining an existing cavity with dry grass or moss. Then she collects a mass of pollen and moistens this with nectar to produce a stored food called "bee bread." Her first brood of offspring, numbering 5 to 20, will all be workers (daughters) who take over the colony responsibilities of nest enlargement, food gathering and storage, and feeding and caring for the larvae. The queen continues to lay eggs throughout the summer. By late summer, reproductive males and females are produced. These mate on the wing and the fertilized females move to hibernation sites in the shelter of loose bark, hollow trees or other dry, protected places to lie dormant through the winter. The males and workers still in the colony die with frost or the first hard freeze.

The new chapter begins

Just after the burial yesterday, some family friends stayed till the 9th Novena prayer with topic about my Grandma. Since it was finished we are set for new chapter. Memories of HER still remains and the nurturing still developing that for decades maybe we can still share. Mixed emotion still in air, friends still coming to pamper who was left behind and relatives help still at reach for healing.

During the mass we've attended the Priest who celebrated the mass told us that "Death is the end of our mission here on Earth but the beginning of a endless life in Heavens" an END and a BEGINNING. He said my Grandma Romula is fortunate to reach 85 yrs on Earth because she saw all the improvements and development mankind have. Cellphones, Internet, Inventions and more that for 85 yrs is enough for her to see the goodness of God for us. That goodness is not for material but for nurture.

With this new chapter hand-and-hand we take it for the better good of all. ^^v

My Very Own Fairy Tale

Kianne and the Wolf

Once upon a time, there was an ordinary girl named Kianne. She and her friends – the three little piglets – play with each other on the house of the three little piglets. The house of her friends is made of candy. Kianne went home after playing with them.

Upon arriving home, her mother gave her an errand: to visit and bring some goodies to her grandmother. Before Kianne left, her mother had given her an advice: Don’t talk to stranger.

Along the way, Kianne met a wolf, a c omplete stranger to her. The wolf introduced himself to her as a friend of the three little piglets. Then he told her that he’s looking for the house of the three little piglets because he wanted to visit them. Kianne after learning that the wolf is a friend of her friends, he told the wolf, “They live on the house made of candy”. The wolf thanked her and left, while she continued to walk straight going to the house of her grandmother.

After paying a visit, she had left the house of her grandmother and went back to the candy house. She was greatly terrified when there’s no one inside the candy house except for the wolf with a bulging tummy. She hysterically asked the wolf, “Where are our friends wolf?!” While caressing his tummy the wolf smiled and said, “Here they are, inside my tummy … and you’re my desert Kianne!” The wolf was about to eat Kianne when a prince with a crystal shoe on his hand came by and help her by throwing the crystal shoe on the wolf’s head. When the wolf fainted, Kianne snips the tummy of the wolf and came out the three little piglets.

Kianne and her friends are thankful for the prince for helping them. Then the prince found out that Kianne was the owner of the crystal shoe when the prince had tried the shoe on Kianne’s foot. This incident reveals that Kianne was the girl whose the prince is looking for. Then all of them become best of friends ever after.

London bridge Christina

Ready to jump back into the world of pop music, Christina Aguilera, husband Jordan Bratman and the couple’s son, Max Liron, were spotted safely arriving at Heathrow Airport in London on Saturday (October 11).

Escorted to an awaiting vehicle by security, Christina looked tired from her long flight as she made her way through arrivals cuddling her 9-month old.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, the “Genie in a Bottle” songstress is in the English capital city to perform at next week’s This Day Music and Fashion Festival.

Aguilera will be joining Seal on the Africa Rising grand finale bill, set to take place next Tuesday, October 14th at the Royal Albert Hall.

The show is designed to raise awareness for African issues by finding “sustainable solutions” rather than by simply identifying the problems facing the continent.
