The Changing World

To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Used to be river now its filled with lahar from 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo volcano.Taken on my way to Subic on April 2009, while in a moving vehicle. (Along SCTEX after North Expressway, between Pampanga and Zambales, 110 km. North of Manila).

"Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. Knowledge is not intelligence. In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected. Change alone is unchanging. The same road goes both up and down.The beginning of a circle is also its end.Not I, but the world says it: all is one.And yet everything comes in season. " Heraclitus of Ephesus

That's My World. Extraordinary Beauty

A few months ago (last year). I have the opportunity to join a medical mission in Palawan (Wikipedia). It was my second time to visit the place, famous for its white beaches and beautiful scenery. Click here to see more images.

After the project. I indulged a little, sightseeing, island hopping, snorkeling.. and a lot more. Took a lot of pictures then. But my laptop died and I wasn't able to recover all my files especially the pictures.

Living Beyond The Circumstances

There are ups and downs in life...
that are certain..

Sometimes we are beaming on high..

Sometimes we fail and fall down..

But let us not be weary..
for the best has yet to come..

Let us rise up and stand again ..
the future will turn out well in the end..
