I Am In Good Company


I Am In Good Company
(July 2013)

The ups and the downs, and the good and the not so good of life did not spare me for the past couple of months. These feelings maybe based on the weather, how the way people treat me, the body aches, the amount of traffic congestion, or a whole lot of other things. In contrast to that lousy feeling, each week, I schedule either my relatives or friends to accompany me to my weekend gardenhouse in Tagaytay.  Moving forward, I have to make my yesterdays something joyful, to make each day more meaningful and to make tomorrow even better.  When you get in the habit of consciously choosing to have a positive, empowering attitude, you become gloriously free to achieve the things that are most meaningful to you.



The company of my family, relatives and friends really make my day. Cheers to the good life! 

Do you know, why God created gaps between fingers?  So that someone who is special to you, comes and fills those gaps by holding your hands forever.

LIFE GOES BY QUICKLY

LIFE GOES BY QUICKLY
(July 2013)

It’s been a year and four months now since I open this blog.  I was caught unaware of the passing days that I haven’t updated my blog for 7 months now. Time flies so quickly when enjoying life.  I tried to look back then of how and where all those days went.  Instead, I looked at the mirror and saw that age is beginning to show.  How did I get here so fast? All I know is, there are things I wish I hadn't done, things I should have done, and many things I was happy that I had done.

Now, I have glimpses on how to welcome the new chapter of my life. And I have to move quickly, as there are so many better things to do that I have been putting them off; so many good things to share until there will be no more hurts but only more love; and so many hopes that go far beyond anything I could imagine.  The best is yet  to come in this world and in the other world to come.  To start with, I look around.  The first thing I saw is God's beautiful and different creations.  God really likes variety, each one is unique, each one has a beautiful purpose—like you and me, the plants, flowers, trees, dogs, birds, fish, insects …

Enjoy some of the shots I took recently in my garden house. Have you noticed the varieties?

Thanks to Florence Palacio for the beautiful photos taken by her during her visit in my gardenhouse.


















Florence cousin.  Very nice person.

My children gave me a camera as birthday gift. Below are photos i just took. In spite of being  self supporting plants, still they gave me beautiful products.
