Captured Glimpses of Our Beautiful World

One lazy afternoon... got lost and decided to stop at some unknown place...  Deserted places may seem scary for some...  but it is amazing how serene a place could be without people...  we really should learn how to live with nature...  and not ruin its tranquility...

Here are some of the places I dream of exploring: ~ Ilocos Province in the northern part of the Philippines  has some of the most well-preserved churches  and ancestral homes in the country. ~ ~ Its neighboring province of Cagayan will surely not fail to satisfy any explorer ~ ~ Together with the province of Camarines...  ...the province of Sorsogon located at the tip of Bicol Region  is definitely one of the places worth-visiting ~ ~ I wish to discover the beauty of this province since I don't hear much about this place which is located in between Samar and Leyte ~ ~ I hope to explore every town in the islands of Cebu and Bohol ~ ~ The islands of Palawan are among my bucket li...

had a picnic with friends today... spent a great deal of time together... sharing thoughts about love and life...  and thinking about beautiful dreams for tomorrow...  Rapunzel tells us one thing about love .  Climbing the highest tower  becomes less difficult  if someone at the end  gives you reason to hold on. wherever you may be... will you keep holding on for me, please? the tree on the left is what we call tsiris or mansanitas  --- member of the Indian Jujube family ...  it bears cherry-like fruits that taste really sweet..  you can just pluck it from its branches, and eat it right away...  for many kids, it brings back fun-filled childhood memories...  the tree on the far right is what we call c alachuchi  (plumeria)...  its white-yellowish flowers gives off this very sweet fragrant, especially at night..  it does have long, stiff leaves but this on...
