New Life

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child and the similar faces.
Smell the rain and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential 
and fight for your dreams."
-Ashley Smith

I've been watching this new bud which blossoms from an almost rotten tree trunk. I was amazed that even something that is soon to fade away was capable of sustaining a life. An indication that life even hard, is worth a try. A brand new life will blossom from your lowest point.

Loving the Candid

The human spirit needs places where nature 

has not been rearranged by the hand of man

I love this photo. It's so candid. Lawrence walked ahead of us and he hid himself behind a big rock. He took endless shots from his then newly acquired baby cannon camera. We couldn't pay any attention when we discovered because we had to watched our steps. The rocks were not slippery but combined with sands, they were. Not to mention the pointed surface our feet endured. Big man also reminded us to take only pictures and leave only goodness...like I was in Good Shepherd uhhh?

Sweet Strawberries

A healthy outside starts from the inside

 It's just so sad we're not able to make it to the strawberry farm on our Baguio trip due to the weather condition. If we did make it, we can pick them ourselves, but unfortunately we didn't so we we ended up buying in the market.  Don't worry though, they're still fresh and sweet and smell so great!

Reminiscing the Past

If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored.

One's destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things.

-Henry Miller

It's such a bliss to go back to places close to our hearts. It's been a dream for me to visit Baguio again. The last time I step foot on the summer capital was when I was 5 years old. Going back to Mines View Park reminded me of my days in Baguio as a child and how afraid I am of the towering heights below the deck. But now I felt happiness and gratitude instead of fear of heights.
