Little Pieces of ME

My First Photo from My SLR (Cat with a Blue Eyes) The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. Dawn at Sea (Corniche, Abu Dhabi) Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place you must find. “Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal.” Lulu Island “How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will”

 I could never exchange the silence and simpleness of life in the countryside! “The country life is to be preferred, for there we see the works of God; but in cities little else but the works of men. And the one makes a better subject for contemplation than the other.” The Happiness of Rural Privacy!

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.   ~Charles W. Eliot

In the midst of the flurry - clarity. In the midst of the storm - calm. In the midst of divided interests - certainty. In the many roads - a certain choice.   - Mary Anne Radmacher

God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference.

Zyng Asian Grill is A Japanese Resto located at Marina Mall. I always love to sit at the window side where I can have a good view of the Marina Breakwater. Decent place for a conversation, although the area is along a pathway going to the other side restaurant interrupting your privacy. Food served are definitely tasty. Had Shrimp Dumpling served first. Yummy.  Soba Noodles for me- native Japanese noodles made of buckwheat flour.

Remembering those years way way back.  The place shows serenity, calmness, and beauty. Now, its not the same haven, it has changed a lot. Been exploited and damaged. Bomod-ok Falls, Sagada Mt. province @ April 2011

Can't describe the feeling when I was here. Heaven! Not the same place I left way back 2000 but the amazing beauty is still there! Sagada, Mountain Province Philippines @ April 2011 

"There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right." Being simple is the easiest way to get away with all the complications of life. Find your happiness in simple things. Give love in simple ways. Be contented in simple gifts. Dream big but know your limits.  Its in doing simple things that we can find total fulfillment.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope. (Sagada Sunrise April 2011)

Never complain, the words I was thought since i was a child. What the world offers you, receive it with gladness. Receive with open arms and you will be blessed. But I always wonder, how can we ever be thankful if life brings us to the edge of nowhere. If life breaks  us, giving us nothing but pain. We love and care but life gives us back detestation and trouble. Will you never complain and ask to yourself, why is life so unfair sometimes? Every morning we walk out of bed hoping that life will be good at least for the next 24 hours of our life. We hoped for the least time we could imagine we will survive, but life always plays with what we draw in mind. We really don't know what game we are in in every seconds of our journey. We try to have a good life. We work not only for ourselves but more for the sake of others. We smile for every stranger we bump in for we want to portray joy and happiness. We love for we don't want to be hated. Still, life won't spare you to fac...

Journey as a metaphor for life. They remind us to focus on each precious moment of that journey, rather than looking toward the future. Joy does not come at the end of the road; it is available now, while you are walking your path. To come to the end of the road is to die. Live your journey. Celebrate it. Our true journey begins when we are ‘on purpose’. Have you discovered your passion and purpose? Pick the road that is right for you and enjoy the journey!

Life has been full of surprises since the start of the year. As I compare it the past years, i would say this ones the most. Life this 2011 has been tough. I went through different stages of what they call unforgettable experience that can last a lifetime. And in disbelief, in sequence. In the beginning of the year, i started cursing life. Not a good one to start a blissful year but can never tell what comes around in a minute. It was a disaster as i would describe it. I started to move on. Was just an easy one so to say. I cried it all in a week, stayed away from the crowd - friends, family for a couple of week, tortured my mind with endless thinking, until i just woke up one morning so tired of everything that i wanna go back to normal. Easy step if you really wanted to move on. and then Life Goes On. 2nd quarter of the year when i have my "rebirth" as many people say. The accident where i might have lost my whole family. That's the ...
