Under the stars: Wishes, dreams, and other things

Every night, whenever I get the chance to look out the window, I look forward to seeing the stars. Cloudy skies or clear, I never get tired of looking at them. At other times, when I get over my fear of the dark, I go outside and try my luck with identifying constellations. Sometimes, I'd bring a camera along to shoot some star trails and planets. And sometimes, with wishful thinking, I'd hope to take a photo of a shooting star.

On being twins (Questions people ask)

A lot of people get fascinated whenever they encounter a pair of twins. I myself have an identical twin sister and based on experience, we get different kinds of reactions when people first meet us. Getting shocked would be their initial reaction. For some, they get amazed. Others, amusingly, doubt we're actually twins probably because of the different glasses frames or the clothes we wear. I remember even someone insisting that we were "supposed" to be fraternal since we "looked" different (at least from how she saw us).

Not only do they get interested on the fact that we look alike; they also ask us questions about anything twin-related, from very shallow questions to the very experience of having a twin. Since I could remember, we were given a lot of interesting and amusing questions by different kinds of people, including close friends and relatives. Because of that, I decided to compile some of the many questions we have encountered so far and post a few comments about them. Hopefully, this can also satisfy some of the questions you may have about twins in general. So, here it goes:

Some random thoughts while crocheting

Parts of a long-due sheep plush that I was working on a few hours ago.

If one were to observe someone knitting, or crocheting quietly at a corner perhaps, one would think that he or she is too preoccupied with his or her work to think about something else. In my case, I think about a lot of things whenever I crochet.

Something under the tree

Aside from the Christmas gifts and goodies under our Christmas tree, what did I "find"?

Greeting 2013

Happy 2013, everyone!

How was your first day of the New Year? I hope you enjoyed yourselves very much especially with the fireworks and noise-making.

To start of this first 2013 post, here's a little something I was able to catch during the celebration:
