In life, there are times you would feel so emotional and passionate of something. You have lots of ideas in mind, dreams, and memories. Every time I miss something, I’m always trying to open my database of pictures. I have lots of hard disks and external hard drives which mainly collection of movies. Aside from this, it takes a bit longer to load the huge collection of photos. And then right after I found them, I look at them thoroughly. I learn to appreciate and love more the things that interest me. Sometimes there are photos that brought tears to my eyes, sometimes it’s sad, and yet beautiful. Oh, how I miss taking photographs?

This is a Tockay Gecko or in Philippines we called it as “Tuko”. The second largest in the Gecko Family and with striking color spots on its body. It’s nocturnal and feed on most common insects. It is also very popular for having amazing sticky feet. They have loud vocalization sound which they use as a mating call. Some people make them as pets. But today, here in the Philippines and other Asian countries, this animal is threatened to be endangered soon because of the unlimited hunting. Government authorities say it is illegal but the hunters won’t stop due to its high enticing selling price of  foreign buyers or pet traders. They say that Chinese have tapped into the Tokay’s medicinal property specifically the Tokay’s enzyme that cures AIDS, cancer or other illnesses.

I’ve always seen this kind of caterpillar in our vegetable garden. Besides, I’ve caught this kind for few times too, during the preparation of cooking broccoli or cauliflower dish. I’ve always wanted to have the pictures of this tiny creepy creature because I actually find them a bit cute and I like its color with stripy white on its body and I like the way they crawl.

Now that Round Robin came up with another challenge: I’ve always wanted to photograph, I thought that this can be the best time to share these pictures.
