experiencing failure makes you wiser. sometimes your confidence will diminish. failure in early stage of life somehow fuel a desire but late in life is costly and demoralizing.
Hello, thanks for your comment- :-), I totally agree about your observation, we Filipinos has so many things to work on to, :-). I hope in due time- things will become more better for everyone- especially here in the Philippines, :-)
Hi Max!! am thrilled to see you my dear, ;-) All is well, thank you so much, :-) and how are you? :-) Indeed- it makes life unpredictable exciting sometimes, lol!
As an American married to a Filipina, I agree with what you're saying. Even to me it seems like Filipinos sometimes are too focused on other cultures to see the strengths of their own and to appreciate their own heritage. Lots of good things to think about.
Hi Leo :D! Yes, life (like water) takes many forms; it flows (sometimes calmly, and sometimes roughly) and it always takes us to that final destination (fate). How are you, darling? Cheers
i see improvements on global human rights. it's a favorite tool use by western world. i would not be very optimistic that they will confront china nor japan ... besides slap on the wrist. by the way you did a lot of reading, great reporting. could you improve human rights awareness in the philippines. that would be awesome.tnx
I don't know If I said it already but ...This blog rocks! I gotta say, that I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I'm glad I found your blog. Thanks, :) A definite great read..Jim Bean
hey, im writting a short story for my english assingment and can't seem to think of a name any suggestions. the story is about a 15 year old girl whos world gets changed around when her parents decid to move to london due to her fathers job, she gets teasded and bullied also set up by these mean 'cool' girls, all sugestions welcome!
You capture the image perfectly. A lot of your poems remind me of haiku, where an instant is frozen in time to contemplate on.
Looking back on my life, there are so many defining moments. They aren’t necessarily dramatic, but moments like you have described here. An afternoon meditating on a hill. An hour sitting on top of a mountain. A few minutes watching a creek of fresh melted snow form gentle eddies along the banks.
The moments are precious for their intrinsic perfection, but also for what was happening in my life at the time. They are little bookmarks I can turn to in the pages of my life.
Thank you so much, JD!:-). It was a magical moment for me, the very moments that I took those shots. . Being in a new sorrounding can be so enigmatic and overwhelming for me, lol,:-)
Hi Jon,:-). It’s a pleasure to have you here, my friend,:-).
I tried a couple of times to scribble verses after the Haiku Form. However, it feels like the form limits my space of expression,:-). I don’t know if it ever happened to you or the others, but there are times wherein the inspiration is just too much that it is hard to stop scribbling,:-).
Visual art is another interest that I hope to learn in the future. There’s just too much to do at the present,:-)
Thanks for sharing your insights, Jon,:-). I must say that those photograph signifies my own “little wonders”- those wonderful moments when I feel “in one” with the Universe. Such overwhelming bliss, indeed:-)
Your poems are addictive drippingmind. To make these tasteful arts free and accessible is a noble thing. I won’t be surprised to see a “bestseller” under your authorship in the future.

peaks kiss the sky
low clouds to kiss
masking pine trees
drifting to mountain clifts
brushing my cheeks
dripping water from rocks
crystal clear to my eyes
everlasting blooms by roadside
so pretty bring me sighs
pine scent on broken twigs
cool breeze kissing my lips
i always remember the place
sweet memories bring me tears

The words and the images complement the other.

like a dream that
passes through
that my hands
won’t even dare
to touch…
- very poetic, dreamy, innocent.

I enjoy a good poem. Often, I do not read poems, but this one is an exception.
