It's still early in the morning when I expect too many things to do and things to finish. A lot of them. Before I get started, time to smile for the day. It's nice to welcome each new day with cheerfulness in the heart.

Waited for my father, we'll be going to Toledo City. Taken at Lutopan. It's a very peaceful place inside the compound, you can really have a good night sleep.

Every thing around us exists for a reason just as every situation that arises in our lives has its purpose in us. There is no guarantee that everything will be sugar and honey. When a situation happens to teach you a lesson, it is usually not a very pleasant one. There is pain and suffering that you have to endure, to survive and to live with. You need to cope up. You need to breath with the pain. We bleed because we are alive. Everybody wishes to be worry-free but life is not about having no worries at all. It is the opposite. To live means to fight and to stay strong in the middle of crises. To live means not to surrender but to go on and finding ways for improvement and growth. To live means to shed tears and to laugh out loud. There are always two sides of a coin, the part is learning stage in life while the other side is celebration for passing through odds. Experience plays vital roles in our lives. As much as experiences are mostly unforgettable, they mold us into an identity. To learn means to deal with risk. We learn only when we go out of our comfort zone. There are strange things around us and we will never know how strange they can be until we find out and discover. Time allows us to explore the unexpected but we can never assure that we will pass the test. We decide according to our preference, according to our standards or to other people's standards, that depends. Despite all odds we continue to deal with life. We have to rejoice because we are given the chance to live, to experience what life is all about and after our time is through, life is but a dream to each and everyone. It's like opening a story book. We turn pages to chapters with episodes to remember. No matter how sad or happy it can be, it is still a story we are obliged to handle with responsibility. It is a story written by SOMEONE. We are merely playing a character in our respective story book. We live once and we have to make the most in that "once." We have to keep in mind that life is too short. Our life's clock is moving, it will keep on moving whether we're having fun or not. So enjoy each day, celebrate the moments while you still can...

sometimes all that's needed is the willingness to try...

silence

Silence is a company. It brings you to somewhere else, to a place where you can be the master of everything. It allows you to visit passage in your life that no one bothers to interfere. Silence is comfort. It brings relaxing feeling and it makes you ponder. Silence gives time to learn. Silence can either be friendly and hostile but it's better to keep silent than say nothing good at all.

We are close to tears, we will miss you Eden. Keep in touch...

This was a farewell get together for Eden Rose, (a.k.a Rosas Pandan) coz she migrated to Canada. She's the girl in white shirt. Thanks for the happy times Eden, I know you always see the bright side of a coin. Shes sees hope in every situation and makes fun out of every situation. Bon voyage rosas pandan.

Some people wants a turtle as a pet. Though turtle is slow in motion, it shows progress when its head comes out. This is applied in real life, sometimes when a person is slow in motion, this doesn't mean there is no hope. There is something greener out there.

Sometimes all we need is a tight hug from someone. It assures us one thing, comfort.

Toast to our canned soft drinks, it's mountain dew? take a look...

About to go out now from the display of the red chairs. If only I could buy but nah, it's very expensive. Just enough for me to see, I really appreciate it.

See the red chairs and the bed at the background. They are all nice designs by Filipino artists and were displayed for public viewing. These arts made good prices too, approximately expensive rates. I always love to see what is uncommon, it is always pleasing to the eyes.

Oh that's the governor's portrait taken at CICC.

We were at CICC.

At the right side are two packs of dried mangoes. One of my favorites of dried fruit snacks. You can check it at amazon.com, I'm advertising. he he he.

bedtime

I always feel relaxed in my bedroom, this is where I can just be me after a day's work. I usually sleep late and wake up too early as if I'm with the clock. Coffee is not good if taken before bedtime. I love coffeeeeeeee!!!!

always and forever

This picture reminds me of the song, "Always and Forever" and such a happy thought of being together.

a lion's face

It would be better to have a friendly lion's face. But a lion is not made to be friendly. That's why I capture this one because it does not look very dangerous at all. It's a work of art though.
