Just About Lately

Image
What I've Been Up To L ately, the Philippines had chains of blows from flood to 2 typhoons named Helen and Igme, all in just 2 weeks. And recently, we lost an honest and straight politician; DILG secretary  Jesse Robredo who was in my personal prayers since the time of the search and rescue operation of the plane he traveled with; a small four-seat, twin-engine Piper Seneca plane that crashed into the sea of the central Masbate province while attempting an emergency landing. A lot of people are hoping and praying that he and the pilots are still alive. But after 3 days, I read from twitter that his body was found inside the fuselage of the plane which sank 180 ft deep. As I read about the news, I sat on the edge of our bed and was silent at first and said a short prayer for him. I never thought that I would shed a tear for someone I never knew personally, maybe because he died in a tragic accident which is also the cause of my Papa's untimely death that happen...

Flowers of Rastanura

Friends are flowers in the garden of life CAPTURING I  had the chance to capture some beautiful flowers when we went swimming in ARAMCO Rastanura last 2011 Eid Al Adha. Yep, this photos has been sleeping for a long time now in my external hard disk :) It's so rare for me to have subjects such as these because of the place where I am at. I'm not saying that this place is not picturesque but only because our life in this country revolves in "going to work" and "going home"; we sometimes eat out; but most of the time we make some groceries during salary or have some time in the park, but only when the weather is fine.  The whole family can also drive around during Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha. But I cannot just go out anytime I want and drive around the city just to point and shoot all the beautiful things I see; women are not allowed to drive here (sigh, as if I know how to drive :b).  On our way I don't know the names of these flowers...
