One random day at UP

These shots were taken one random day at UP. I know I have blogged about this a long time ago but my blog entry seem to be missing.

This kid seems to let the time pass inside the campus, or as if he was waiting for something. I asked him if I could take his pictures and he gladly obliged.

On Hope...

Hope itself is a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords; but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain.

~Samuel Johnson

Here's to planning my 2011!

Happy people plan actions, they don't plan results

-Dennis Wholey

Received this planner from someone special. Promised to write something good that happened each day. So here's to good vibes and nothing negative!

First Sunset of my 2011

So this happens to be my first sunset for 2011. Good thing about living a few more floors up, view of sunsets are richer and unpretentious.

It is how we define GOAL that defines us

Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible.

2010 Philippine Blog awards

The Next Best Thing:

 The Traveling Life was just at The 2010 Philippine Blog Awards

For people whose second life is infront of a computer, blogging is the
next big thing!

The Traveling Life was a finalist for the Best Photo Blog, its a major
category I think! though I didn't win, being there and actually being a finalist
was and yeah, the next best thing! :)
Seeing those human beings who author some of the blogs I follow..and actually sitting beside some of them though I wasn't so surewho among them because it was a bit dark, was exciting! :)
So maybe I did actually impress some of them to be actually included in the major list.. good thing, yeah?
it made me happy to be part of it! it was my first time. the event inspired me to do better!

Let us all wake up with a happy HEART

 Life is too short to let even a single second dwell on anything that brings negativism and synonymous to unpleasant...

On Happiness

The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change; happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up. 
Charles L. Morgan

Life's Little Blessings

I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet. 

Ancient Persian Saying



LEARNING

… there would be points is our lives when we want to try something we find not ordinary…something unusual, or so we thought


… we get chances where we could actually test the waters… see how things turn out


… then at one point, once we are over and done weighing pros and cons…we decide to make that one big step


… it may feel very unstable at the beginning… the shaking crushes your courage


… until we have overcome our fear…we suddenly realize the strokes are in tune


… the touch of the air against your entire being… it calms you, assures you that everything that surrounds you are as prudent as they show


… we let the feeling linger ‘til our hearts out… in great anticipation of what else is in store


… until one day we wake up and recognize that the thing we were so excited about in the launch.. was just a mere fad and nothing more

DISPOSAL

the saddest part of being conveniently present for someone is the inconvinience it brings you when all of a sudden you're just one of too many for disposal
