Children

“Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.” - Rosaleen Dickson 

“Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future” - John Fitzgerald Kennedy 

"The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop." - Mark Twain 

"There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child.  There are seven million." - Walt Streightiff

"If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children." - Mohandas Gandhi 

Buri Sunset

Back home in Catbalogan, I can still remember how randomly my friends and I would decide to spend the entire afternoon in Buri. With only pancit from Tony's and sliced bread from United Bakery, song hits and properly-tuned guitar, the day would always end with so much fun singing, swimming and merry-making.


Flong, Quiel, Bill, Elena, Karen, and the rest of the group, I wish we could have those days again.

Waiting in loneliness...

“Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets.” hraka Henry Rollins

I have long been waiting to chance upon a wonderful sunset from home. Today, I got lucky. This I consider a blessing. Thank you Lord!
