“One’s courage, hope, and spirit can be severely tried by the happenstance of life
…so long as one never loses faith, it is impossible to ever truly be alone.”
David Baldacci, Wish You Well
As usual , I jotted down some quotes from the book I’ve just read. Put them in my journal for later read. When something inspires you, it remains in your memory. Took this shot somewhere in Laguna province in one of our road trips, those days when exploring new places was such a joy.
It’s kind of tedious when you let writing a blog as a chore you have to do. Sometimes, you just feel so lazy to update or write. But when you let your thoughts stream into your head, wriggle into your heart and blow kisses into your soul, blogging is one lovely activity that you are happy to do. When the inspiration to write it down asserts itself so softly, letting you just think of those lovely thoughts in your head, giving them the validity in words, the world becomes a lot of ideas. One thinks sometimes of what to write about, one think sometimes of what to share, one thinks sometimes of those things that make your world a lovely place to look into.
When I think of the years I’ve written about life, the beauty of it and all its angst, I sometimes wonder where I am coming from. The beauty of life, we celebrate it. We smile at those memories that come and go leaving us breathless at times. We embrace the life the way we should, anticipating another lovely day to celebrate. Yes, life is a celebration
I am in the middle of reading a book by David Baldacci. It’s not the usual thriller that he is known for. It was set in 1940 Virginia. I love the detailed character description of the story.
Come to think of it, Wish You Well was made into a 2013 theatrical film, story of two kids who lived in their grandmother’s farm in lovely Virginia. It’s a story of struggle, an appreciation of what simple life is.
Sometimes, you get so engrossed in something such as this lovely story. Wish I could watch the whole film.
It's been some years since I started this blog. Supposedly, it was only to share my plight as a cancer patient and survivor but over the years it has somehow evolved into something personal about my life and my family.
So really glad to have met you all wonderful people out there. Someone commented once that he liked the title of this blog, Dreams and Escapes. Dream on, there are more things in life than we really think. Be happy, you only live once. Sometimes you also need an escape from the vicissitudes of life and this blog helps me cope. Welcome. Feel free to leave your comments, I do welcome them.
It’s been a while. I am reblogging this here from my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope you’ll find time to visit it to. My gosh, I got so excited when I saw it. There are several designs actually and all with Biblical passages. One of the vendors in our subdivision is selling them. […]
I can’t believe I haven’t touched and visited this blog like forever (an exaggeration of course) but I was so focused on updating my main blog so I forgot about this. Early this morning while I was watering the plants, I looked up at our jackfruit trees and saw this. I was hoping I could […]

Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been almost a year now since I posted something here. I am always updated with my main blog though, a link of which is attached here. Sharing this photo I took yesterday, we locally call it Lato salad, a appetizer. I love seaweeds and I buy them once in a […]
Nonna’s joy. I think this is the second time I posted a picture of my grandson here. He is turning six this coming November. Time flies. Happy Grandparents’ Day to all proud grandparents like I am.
Gosh. I haven’t updated this site for so long concentrating instead on my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope I would be able to post more in the coming days.
This is just my 89th post after three years of blogging. But I have always been updated with my main blog. You can find the link here on the right corner of the blog. I’ve recently took shots of our garden blooms. Summer is here and more blooms could be seen. […]
