an old bridge

Life is a journey itself, better we like it or not, the roads and pathways aren’t that smooth all the time. It is a total adventure. There are always those bumpy and irregular roads we need to cross in order to reach destinations we sought after. The ride to these bumpy and irregular roads, of course, is not easy. It will test ones determination and persistence.


It is just like crossing an old bridge. There are a lot of uncertainties. Who knows, the bridge might collapse along the way? Only those who have the courage and the determination to continue the journey despite uncertainties will have the chance to know it. The people who have the courage, determination, and persistence are the one most likely to succeed. And when they succeed, the reward is sweeter!

the whisper of an old tree

“Thank you for keeping our park clean,” I could hear the tree whisper.

As I strolled in the pathways of Freedom Park at the city of Gentle People, Dumaguete City, Province of Negros Oriental, I noticed this thank you note posted in one of the old trees at the park. I find it very interesting. For me, it’s not really the provincial government that is saying thank you to the people but I could hear the trees murmur. Yes, I could hear the old trees whisper, in their heart a thank you for taking good care of them that they have reached that age. And every time I inhaled the fresh air brought by these old trees, I could feel their gratitude. An indication also that if we care for more trees and to nature, then we would not only smell such fresh as that air but we would have a cooler, fresher and a healthier environment.

Now, it’s time for me to give the tribute our mother earth deserved, let me start by saying these words- HAPPY EARTH DAY!

I know, a tribute should be more than to these words, it must be accompanied with actions. I pledge to transform these words into actions. It may not be big actions right away, but I am starting it within myself by doing little deeds that would help preserve and protect our environment. After all, it’s what really needed by mother earth- a heart that care, and if each of us will offer that compassion, I am sure the Earth we are living now will become a greener, cooler and healthier place!

A New Beginning

Every rise of the great sun is a new beginning for ones life. It's also the time to make decisions great or small. Today I took a new step towards being a real photographer. Some would consider this insignificant but for me, having joined this blog, is a real honor because my mentors who are also friends noticed my enthusiasm in photography. I thank them very much for inviting me and I hope that they will guide and support me towards excellence.

bisikleta dream

I remember a child a child very eager to realize his bisikleta dream. It made me laugh.

My Extraordinary Power

I know this is a photo blog but forgive me I would like to share to you extraordinary powers (lol)!Thanks to Ryan for shooting and editing the video for me! How I wish I have this real power! Take a look!

Reflection

How often do you look at the mirror? Do you always see a clearer reflection of you? How true are you to your acts and deed?

Sometimes we pretend to be somebody to show off to everybody. There are certain reasons for doing this but isn't it best to see the real you and not that somebody you are pretending to be?

Look at the two pictures. The first picture shows a clearer reflection and the other one does not.

Now, think deeper!

beauty in darkness

Sometimes we failed to realize that there is beauty in darkness.

shoes in the sand

Instead of taking the usual picture of footprints, I decided to have these shoes as my subject together with the sand.

In my life, shoes symbolize my parents. The pair of shoes represents my mother and father. They are there to protect me, just like my shoes protecting my feet.

How about you, who/what are the shoes in your life?

simplejoy

We don't necessarily need to be the riches man in this world to be happy. We can always find happiness on simple things. Simple things bring simple joy- pure and deep happiness. This picture portraits simple joy, happiness which is pure and deep - enjoying the moment without any hesitation. An affinity with nature coupled with friendship creates simple joy!
