ALWAYS TAKE THE BEST SHOTS

There are best shots or moments I took in every place I've been.  And those souvenir shots or photos make me smile.  I treasure them. Those pictures are the proof of memorable moments and remind me that I am also lucky to enjoy life with other people and I am one of those people that appreciate the beauty of mother nature.  I believe that my purpose here on earth is not finding and having material things to make me happy.  I realized that I have to be happy with the things that I have and enjoy what life is to offer. I even think of changing or shifting another career (if there's any other option career available). Honestly, in my 13 years of working in an accounting office, I now reached the point that I feel unhappy.  Yes, I am not happy with the recent work situation.  I wish I  have a job that I can only make other people happy and earning at the same time.  I want a new job related to the concern and the goodness of other people. The job that is for the better only.  The particular job that is also related to nature, photography and not related to money and taxes. Money makes me evil and taxes teach me to lie. I am just talking about myself.  

Anyways, in my recent escapade with some of my co-workers with their own family members, I took some photos of course and unexpectedly some turned the best for me.  Always aim for the best (daw)!

I like this sunset photo with my officemate's niece as a model.  She looked like a statue.  This picture is one of the sunset photos I took when we were watching the sunset.

We were able to climb and reached the top of the old Guisi lighthouse.  That's a fulfillment! I noticed the flying bird on the right.  Aim high!            

There are still beautiful flowers growing in the ground of Guisi ruins.  The ruins lost its original state  of  beauty but it is stand out still and there's a beautiful story behind it to discover.  We enjoyed the first visit.

This photo shows the model as how she handle her real life.  She is determined, a positive thinker and an achiever. Step up for your dreams!

They are sisters.  They are both easy goers and beautiful!

They both influenced me to enjoy what the nature has to offer during our stay.  Strike it guys!

I am pretty sure you guys also have the best photo(s) during a particular trip or vacation.  It would be a beautiful view of nature, people, structure or you yourself that the turned to be one of the very memorable memories in your life to treasure forever.

SHARING IS ONE OF THE BEST THING THAT MY FATHER TAUGHT ME

It's more than a month already that I was in silence virtually (and even in real life).  I was in the state of mourning silently since September 19, 2011, the day my father died at the age of 84.  I was not close with my father.  Yes, I am still a Mama's boy.  But I inherited my art skill from my father.  I remembered when I was just a kid I wanted him to draw animals especially the dogs (lot's of dog positions).  He had a tattoo of Jesus on his left chest.  Like my mother, he didn't scolded me ever since until the day of his last breath.  He always given me a piece of advice and encouragement though he was not a total provider.  One thing that he taught me is how to be a true friend and how important to share something or give back to a good friend/person.  According to him, "it's not nice to always receive something, you must give something in return as well.  Just share what you have." 

Here, I am again.  I am officially back blogging!  I have to update my blog this time because I don't want that it will die too. Kidding aside..   Here, I share something about SHARING.  

I don't cook maybe because my masterpiece is mixing water colors and cutting colored papers on the drawing table.  On the contrary, I bet those who are good in kitchen are not good in arts.  But I love to treat my friends.  I thank or show my appreciation to people by giving foods.  It's kinda weird because I don't know how to cook in the first place.  So I always ended up buying foods for my friends or treat them in a restaurant.  And speaking of restaurant, one of my favorites is the MOOON Cafe in town.  It's a Mexican restaurant.

I had several Moon loyalty cards and I chose to redeem their Nacho de Salsa

I love their Sun cooler, Nacho de Salsa and Mooon steak!

And I want to introduce to you my personal friends that I can call my own.  (Though some of them I never have time to be together eating in my favorite restaurant yet.  I hope one of these days if the time permits.)

Rocee- my shy office mate and a friend.  She shares and voluntarily offer her helping hands in computer related works.  "Ako lang ma-obra SSS and Philhealth mo Tito Rod."

Totie-  a banker, He become my friend through a friend.  We go malling and hunting if we have free time together.  We share and talk our personal experiences. 

Ma'am Fatima-  She's my classmate in grade school.  She's a teacher now.  We had a class reunion last December 2010.  We met again after and we had an unplanned dinner.  We reminisced the school old days.  We shared our future dreams and how to be out of being tagged as LAON.  Ha-ha.  Kidding. 

Joseph-  a work related friend.  He is nice to me and helped me when I need something related to work.  Too bad, he resigned from his work.  We are not connected with each other anymore.  By the way, the beautiful little girl is her daughter. 

Robelyn-  she is my bonggable high school classmate and friend.  I love her especially when she start to speak na.  never -ending updates, machika pa sa manok ang lola.  I missed her company.  We are both busy with our own laonit time, we even don't have time to text each other.  Murat mustah ka na?

Emely-  Like Robelyn, she's machika and we love each other's company, sometimes the three or four of us.  I missed to see her these last days and I owe her a visit because she already gave birth to a baby girl.  Maayo ka pa nakahingagaw gurl!  Ang iban da hipos-hipos lang. 

Harry & Willie-  We called ourselves Gwapingsduring our high school days.  Ha-ha.  It's Harry I always with.  We see each other like almost every week but not these last few days.  We keep communicating through text though.  And I always see him on T.V. every Thursday as Nyora.  Nakakabusog yung mga punchlines niya.  On the otherhand,  Willie turned to be more reserved but he is remain the dessert, I mean sweet.  Harry and I got curious of him being so vain and silent most of the time.  Speak out!  Kidding. 

Micai-  I would love her to be my lil sister.  Like Harry, she has great sense of humor.  She is so attentive.  But the best thing about her is being generous and thoughtful.  She surprised me several times already with her unique ideas, thoughts and stuff.  She always share unique and good things and most of all her positivity. 

Ng Baby-  The so called baby yet an old lady.  Kidding.  We are co-workers and co-conspirators at the same time.  She is so much caring and always share her blessings. 

Melanie and I are not born friends so to speak.  We get along together with Eta and Marigold.  Both become my friends and Melanie do so since she belong to the group of three sisterettes.  I am their fourth, ha-ha.  wala ka gid kuhaon sa iya.  I can't find the exact English words, pasensiya. 

Marigold-  is my all time favorite goody goldy friend or my best friend to be specific or to define.  She shares everything, her hubby is excluded of course.  Lmao.  Actually she is the one who recommended the Mooon Cafe to me.  And she is the one who treated us.  She is the exception to this topic about my own share but all I can say is she's an exceptional, a very true friend.  And I wish, He will answer our prayers so soon.

There are special friends I still have unfortunately not included on this list.  I hope someday, we can sit and have a little chit-chat, share stories and laugh together as we savor our favorite foods.

I LOVE YOU ALL!
