Rice is life and the light.
This ten centavos coin is as ugly as not much thoughts in designing it.
Rice is life and the light.
As usual I was having a lack of subjects to photograph with so after having to forcibly eat my much, my second meal of the day I had the idea of just taking a photo of one single grain of cooked rice and see what it really looks like in close-up.
My room doesn't have a good lighting but I have a powerbank which has a built-in flashlight and that is what I had been using to illuminate my subjects for a better lighting source so that the camera pf my smartphone will not struggle so much in capturing the details of the cooked and later, dried-up piece of rice.
I did the first take of the photo of the cooked rice and then afterwards I had the idea of taking a photo of some of the coins that I got which is a 25 centavo coin. These coins are not being used by people anymore but the one Peso coin and larger denominations up to twenty Pesos coin. But I want to photograph the twenty-five cents one and see more of its details as it is a coin which is for me is done with not much thought because of its simplicity in detail with an ugly design where the edges of are not even fashioned to be corrugated nor polished to have a better feel and or appearance and then the wordings of one side of the coin is not symmetrical, so for me it is bothersome one example of an ugly coin in my opinion. However other coins looks much better like the new five Pesos coin and the twenty Pesos coin which in a way sad to see having the twenty Pesos coin turning to be a coin where in my younger years is once a paper money where you can buy more b using it and now it cannot even buy a 300 mL Sprite.
While I was at doing a photo of the said coin, I was not satisfied by the looks but thankfully this mosquito landed on front of it which I thought would fly out quick but it just stayed there. Later I saw that maybe it was already dead or dying because I can move it. Than it is just not moving anymore and later it just flipped in its back, it still is moving and I guess that it got struck by the blades of the fan that I am using.
I just took the photo of this Mosquito, it could be a Male mosquito or it could be a young female with not much food in its belly. It is thin and black in appearance and very small compared to other Mosquitoes and I am glad that I was able to get an opportunity to shot it with my camera in Tele Macro mode and these are the results with the best focus that O can do suing a voice command to make the camera phone take the shots, one great feature of this camera phone.

In some photos, the rice looks like a crystal. You can also take a photo of an uncooked grain and look at the differences.
What about macros of material? There's plenty to test on till your mom brings you all the buts she can find. The mosquito, I thought you killed it as I read the title, is an interesting shot.
That coin? It's low budget just like most coins are these days. I remember how as a child we covered coins with a piece of paper and scratch over it with a pencil to make whatever was printed on visible. It will be hard with what we have these days.
Where are the coins from? Do you collect them? Who knows the misprint will be valuable one day if coins no longer exist. I still have Dutch cents (not euro cents) and will save them though they are getting green. They should be polished a bit.
How was your day? The dialyze?

A dried-up cooked rice bits is quite hard which is why if you fry them in oil they will pop-out and that is how you make some rice crisps or pop-rice. I used to make some rice crisps when I was young to make a snack of my own. I will wash the left-over rice and dry them out under the Sun then I will fry them in oil and add some sugar.
Sometimes I will get diarrhea because I learned later that inside the clumps of rice would spoil before they dry-up considering that left-over rice was also standing in the refrigerator for a while. It happened before I was aware of bacteria and what to will do except to clean a wound before it gets infected.
Part of the reason why I make the pop-rice out from the left over rice from the fridge is that in our youth my Mother already taught us not to waste food as "there are people out there starving" as she tells us.
The coin is our new 25 centavos coin, nobody really uses it and if you try to buy some candies with these coins, the store would not accept it which is sad because I do think most of them gets lost but if you collect them you can try to exchange them to the bank and get some cash of higher denomination or even some one, five, and twenty pesos coins if not paper money.
I have a coin purse and every twenty-five centavos coin goes in there. I lived long enough to see designs of our local currency and now some of them are collectibles already.
It is nostalgic for me to remember asking my mother for some coins, I would sometimes get two different design of 25 centavo coin, two pieces of ten centavos, and five centavos of either with a reddish color metal shaped like a flower, or the one that looks like aluminum and very light, it could be made out of aluminum for all I know because the ten centavo one is what we use to float in water when we were just kids by my classmates at school.
My mother is not bringing me bugs to photograph yet but I already told her. I just got lucky with this fan blade-struck mosquito while I was taking the photo of the dried rice and the coin. It is nice to take macro photos particularly if we have a better gadget to do it with.
My day is ok and dialysis treatment went well, the clinic is very cold but nothing out of the abnormal life that I have except I received my order of Ketoanalogues tablet, I am happy because I was able to source one that I can get it for cheap. It will help me with my protein needs without contending with protein by-products accumulating in my blood that makes me feel poisoned.
So with these tablets, I can just eat very little meat or fish and then supplement it with a more absorbable building blocks of essential protein which is the name of this supplement, Ketoanalogues which I should have used a long time ago because of its good benefits to my body but I soon have to experience those benefits.
Thank you Miss @wakeupkitty for your time.😀👍
Enjoy your great weekend ahead. 🌹🌹🌹
