Hardships

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.

Imagination

Puerto Princesa, Palawan

What do you want?

I want fruitful imagination.

Meditate on the fullness of a tree.

Medidate on the limitless drops of the sea.

Green Pastures

 The old adage, “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence,” is hard to believe.  What I believe is that - in order for something to stay in bloom, we have to nurture it, no matter what side of the fence we are on.

 

The Cliff

 

The literal meaning of a cliff is a mass of rock that rises very high and is almost vertical like a wall.  It is a popular term used in the government. It may have a negative connotation, but the beauty of it is that -  when you think it is the end of the road and you have nowhere to go, you would realize that the journey you have taken to reach the cliff wasn’t easy. Then you would back off,  and find another path to continue your journey. 

The Arch

Ahau Arch

This unique and impressive natural rock formation is seen at ‘Nakabuang Beach’ in Sabtang Island, Batanes, Philippines. A popular spot and famous for photo shoots, this Arch is a wonderful creation, a refuge of beauty and serenity.
