This is HOME. #BeStrongPhilippines

While I was walking in the street on my way home, I realized how blessed I am that I live in our neighborhood for 20 plus years of my life. I can say that I grew up in the city. My family and I have moved/ transferred houses for 4 times but still in the same 'barangay' (community/villa). I might not always get out from the house but I remembered when I was younger, I was playing with the kids in my neighborhood on the streets. The people knew each other. People may not know each other's real/full name but whenever there's a chance to have a chitchat, it will always lead to 'gossips'..^-^... And when times come that you need help, you can go ask your neighbor and they'd gladly help you if they can.This is the place where I grew up with, a place where I grew up with the people around my neighborhood. I think I cannot leave this place. 

As these thoughts keep running on mind, I remembered the people in Tacloban and other provinces affected by the super typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan. I have these thoughts, "What about them?" It might be very difficult to see their town like that and to lose people they have known for a long time, their family and relatives, friends, or simply their neighbors. It might be hard to rebuild the city and the other towns but I hope that with all the help of other Filipinos and people from other parts of the world, we can build the same neighborhood they had before. I pray that people from Tacloban and people from other provinces will remember the life of their used to neighborhood and be inspired to turn it back, stronger and better. There is really no place like HOME. We're all on this together! 

Tried to capture the sunset but I failed. The sun sets and so the sun rises..

Hindi ka nag-iisa

Araw-araw pare-pareho ang daan
ang tinatahak ko at tinatahak mo
parehong daan patungo kung saan ka nagmula
iyon at iyon pa rin, wala na ngang iba

sa tuwing tinatahak ko ang aking daan
Nakikita kita parang laging kasabay
katabi sa upuan, kasabay sa paglalakad
Minsan ako'y nasa unahan
Minsan ikaw ay nasa aking likuran

Para bang isang anino na pag sa gabi'y kasabay
Kasa-kasama, parang ka-akbay
Minsan parang ako'y iyong inaakay
Dinadala kung saan dapat tumahan

Minsan ako ay nag-iisa
Naglalakbay patungo kung saan man
Pero alam ko na ikaw ay nandiyan
Nakatingin, nag babantay

Ako ay hindi nangangamba
Walang takot o kaba
Pagkat alam kong ikaw ay kasama
kahit saan mapunta at kahit kailan pa

Tunay na ikaw nga at wala ng iba
Walang katulad sa pag gabay
kaya naman kahit kailan ikaw lang talaga
Ang aking naaalala sa tuwing ako'y mag-isa

At kahit ako'y maglakad sa dilim
Hindi ako matatakot dahil ikaw ay kasama ko
Iyong mga salita syang nagbibigay lakas
Sadyang patunay na kahit kailan ikaw ay laging nariyan.

This is why I love summer....

For some reason I really love the beach even though I do not know how to swim. Here are some photos I took when my family and I went to Boracay last year.








  My best travel buddies are my family - my  mom, brother and his future wife..


How about you, do you love summer?
Happy Friday! ^^

Noise

What is noise?
Something good or bad?
Is it soft or loud?
Or pleasing to your ears?

can be found inside, outside
streets, halls, everywhere
You might not know it is with you
Clamoring inside, crying out

Can be something physical or mental
something you comprehend or not
Or just a like a music to you
That you are so used to

Whenever, wherever it is there
always and will always be
Will never leave til the end
Until you'll stop hearing them

Something you can sense
You can feel, and see
Coming to you
Moving inside of you

Photo Diary: Roca Encantada

These are the photos I took when I visited Guimaras. It is declared as heritage house by the National Historical Institute last 14th of August 2002.. 






Roca Encantada is famous as the Lopez clan's summer house. It is located in Buenavista town, Guimaras. 



Wherever I turned my body, I can only see these breathtaking scenes.









Hope you enjoy the pictures!
Have a great weekend friends!

STRESS + ANGER = DANGER

It's been a long time since I feel this
I cannot even remember when is the last time
This is the feeling that I hate the most
A really scary feeling

This is the side of me (that) I am scared of
Maybe because it is rare for me
I don't know how to let this go
I just can explode or just cry

It is a different feeling
Something different to me
I'm out of control
I don't know how to let it go

I don't know since when
But I think it still goes on
Is it because of my situation
That affects my emotion?

I am trying to keep calm
And be in control
All I wish that all of this
I can surpass and conquer all.
