Hey. Hello, my friends. It's always good to be back here, now and then. This platform has been my 'comfort bubble' whenever I got tired of many boring stuff in my life. My antidote when life gets tediuos is to reach out to other human beings. It is not necessary whether the person is a stranger or a friend, actual or virtual. And there's no need for extraordinary acts as well. Just a simple conversation or a smile will do the trick. That's what happened in the drugstore…

Do you like sunset? Who would not appreciate sunset without leaving oneself charmed? "It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream." (Bernard Williams) In my case I had to go to other place just to capture one like these photos that I share with you. They may be not the best but they warmed my heart with a promise of tomorrow just the same. Good evening. =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= 📸 #VR_Photography© ◇ Took the photos while on my way in search for my pops' motorcycle when…

The sea, the sea! Today, I was delighted to get a chance to visit the nearby beach while waiting for my doctor to come. The weather was fair so I enjoyed strolling by the seashore (about more than1 kilometer stretch!) with the relaxing sound of the waves and the sea breeze. Good evening, friends. 💙 =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= 📸 #VR_Photography© #sea #seascape

Priorities It is good to set our priorities in life before starting the day off. It will save us from a host of disappointments later and regret the lost time with the inessentials. "Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least." (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) These days, my top priority is my health. Have a fruitful day/s ahead dear friends. 💙 =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= 📸 #VR_Photography© ◇ I took notice of these fallen ripe Macopa fruits which my…

Workmanship I brought some wrist watches to my regular technician for maintenance and repair today. This technician is a lady. I have high regard with this woman for her efficient skill and honesty. I always wonder in awe how she passionately handle meticulously every minute detail of the parts of the timepiece that she repairs. This craft is not for the sloppy ones, indeed. How's your day, friends? 💙 =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= 📸 #VR_Photography© #watchrepairtechnician

Hey hooman! I was in a hurry to do some errands when out of the corner of my eye I saw this feline standing by. I thought instantly that maybe she wanted to pose for me for a nice photo op. She looked regal in her posture by the way. After some clicks have been made she stealthily walked away. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives we should not hesitate to pause for a while when we meet something that would enrich our heart with simple joys of living. Greetings from…

Catching raindrops. I was glad it rained. It's been a while since I went droplet hunting though. So, now I am showing off some of my captures with pride. Have a pleasant evening/morning, everyone. 💙 =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= 📸 #VR_Photography© ◇ Caught these droplets on the Colocasia. I love the texture and color of the wide leaves as background. #droplets #macrophotography

We are encouraged to sanctify everyday by our deeds not by our emotions. For each day is a gift to reckon with thanksgiving. In times like these, I remember my favorite singing monk and his heartwarming songs. He is John Michael Talbot. You can listen to him in this link 👉…

My honey, my only honey. What a rainy Monday morning to start the week. For this I need my honey to warm me up. Yes. A couple ounces a day of pure honey keeps some maladies away. I get my honey from a family friend in the mountains. I'm sure that she supplies us an unadulterated one. I keep the honey in the fridge for months and they do not crystalize. Honey has long been considered as a superfood. It is a healthy source of carbs. And it has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant,…

Crops of the earth. Hey buddies. The climate is cold at 26°C and the rain has not stopped yet since morning. I hope the weather would not bring damage especially in the rice farms. This afternoon my cousin arrived bringing us some of the harvests from the farm in the mountains like coconuts, pili nuts, pineapples, and bananas. What a heartwarming gesture in this cold day. I know that many places are now affected by the non-stop raining. So, please keep yourselves dry and…

Checklist Before I retire tonight I would like to share the following quote by Tom Bodett. "They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: ✅ someone to love, ✅ something to do, and ✅ something to HOPE for." May this simple checklist serves as a guide to everyone. By the way, I had a great day today. I hope the same with you as well. Good night, friends. 💙 =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= 📸 #VR_Photography© ◇ Below is my edited photo of a rose cutting which I put…

Core Values What's up, dear friends! I had a busy Wednesday. The weather was generally fair and favorable the whole day. Thanks heavens! Anyway, I would like to wrap up my day with a few photos of the things that I encountered today while doing my tasks.

Curry Pancit Canton Seriously? I thought, when I saw at the supermarket this curry flavored noodles. I love curry. So I did not hesitate to pick a pack of it. Curry never fails to seduce my palate. Hence, I prepared the ingredients for my version of a Curry Pancit Canton (that is, without the coconut milk). For the product's suggested full recipe, I included a snapshot of the packaging below. It's a must try for the curry lovers. Hmm my nostrils were filled with the familiar…

"The lovely flowers embarrass me. They make me regret I am not a bee…" — Emily Dickinson This quote by Emily Dickinson got me thinking for a while. There are two important elements in the statement: the flowers and the bee. For me the former represent beautiful words while the latter exemplify action. Sometimes words however lovely and pleasant they may be if not put into a concrete deed would remain as they are -- hollow and insignificant. Just a thought. Anyways, I'm…

Do you know where you're going to? Good morning, my dear friends. It's already Tuesday. Many people are engrossed already on whatever tasks they are in for the week while others are still considering on making some plans to do. Whatever activity we may engage ourselves in, two things are necessary: be mindful and be thankful. Let us put our hearts in the present moment and let us be grateful for anything that our choices would lead us each day. For everything has a purpose.…

Waiting Vs. Enjoying I spotted this striped lynx spider under the rose petal. I thought, "Is it waiting for something, or just enjoying the sunshine?" Heck do I know, I'm not a spider! Lol. Sometimes we tend to be stubborn in our 'waiting' for something, for someone, or for an ideal time. Hence, we unconsciously missed a lot already of the many beautiful opportunities in our life. "If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine." (Morris…

Wanna bite? Not me, of course. Lol. But these crispy hot Turon. The vendor said they're mango flavored but I haven't found even a bit of mango in them. Even so, I was hungry so I finished a couple in a second. Then I realized that there was a hint of mango in the cream toppings. Oh, that's it. 📸 #VR_Photography© #mysnack #turon
