Friendship needs no words – it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness. – Dag Hammarskjöld
I love this shot. It is one of several photos that I took in Tanay during my first road trip two weeks after my final chemotherapy session almost three years ago. Time flies – but it holds a promise that no matter how painful it is – life goes on!
Oh my goodness, I was busy keeping my main site updated that I clearly forgot to visit this blog for quite a while. Shame on me. I miss those times we used to go on road trips and discover places. I miss those days just driving around and seeing those beautiful and lovely views of […]
It’s been a while since I updated this blog. I am more focused on my main blog Dreams and Escapes updating it almost every day that I clearly forgot to update this site. Good morning everyone!
These flowers used to be permanent fixtures in my small garden. I had the lone shrub for years and it produces such lovely white flowers every year. Some months ago, the leaves slowly turned yellow then they dried up to brittle brown ones. This afternoon, my son and I decided to finally put it […]
It was one of those days when having fresh flowers in a vase would really perk you up. I wish I could also grow mums here but I think they need a colder climate than our hot, hot weather. Most flowers like these come from the cold clime of Baguio City up north.
A few years ago, I tried my hand at macro photography, just ordinary photos. I found these colorful Macopa growing in our yard and some Mangoes which my brother picked from our trees. Mangoes are in season now. They are best eaten ripe like this or you can also eat them green with a […]
I received this photo yesterday morning from a former classmate in high school. Sharing it with your for what it conveys. Good morning everyone. I wish you a bountiful and lovely Wednesday morning.
I have always been fascinated by the different colors of greens in our small garden. I sometimes make it a point to take some shot of them when they are at their best. It’s been a while though since I took photos, my camera is not working well. I rely on my camera phone and […]
One of the best places we visited in our road trips is Regina RICA in Tanay, Rizal. It is a place of prayer and worship and that 71-foot tall image of Mama Mary is one sure attraction of the place. I love going on road trips. One learns a lot of things when one visits […]
It’s been a while since I last posted something here. Been updating my main blog though Dreams and Escapes regularly now. You can see it at the right corner of this blog. I’ve been busy for a while and just forgot to update this site. Hopefully, by the time I am done with my free […]
Gosh, I’ve practically neglected this site. HAPPY 2017 to all. Last Sunday, a few friends and I went to visit a member of our Catholic page at Facebook who is presently undergoing treatment for lupus. She was an OFW in Hongkong until more than a year ago. Since she is staying with his brother for […]

I used to have his book Markings, that’s where I learned that aside from being a writer and an economist, he was also a former secretary general of the UN. I love his thoughts!

And I love these quotes too from the same book:
*Once I answered YES to someone or to something
and from that hour I was certain that
Existence is meaningful and that therefore,
My life, in self-surrender has a goal.
*“Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.”
Isa lang ba talaga book niya? I lost my copy during typhoon Ondoy and I was not able to replace it….yet!
