Mt. Pico de Loro. I took this picture a couple of years back. This was the first and only time I climbed this mountain's summit.

I miss climbing... I miss my "ka-buddy"...

Amazing Divine

Picture taken last May 28, 2005.
This shot was taken at Ambon-Ambon Falls,
Phoenix Land, Laurel, Batangas.
This is Divine Grace, the one lady jumper
who rappelled down the 180 ft. falls.
Kasama sana ako sa tatalon, kaso masyado pa akong baguhan nuon.
And they prefer to have great pictures e.
Ayun, photographer ako.
Ang galing nga ni Uno (Canon S1IS).
Parang ang lapit ko lang no.
Mataas pa nyan si Divine.

Butterfly

2005-11-23T13:29:00.000+08:00

Butterflies are beautiful, flying insects with large scaly wings. Like all insects, they have six jointed legs, 3 body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, and an exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end).

The butterfly's body is covered by tiny sensory hairs. The four wings and the six legs of the butterfly are attached to the thorax. The thorax contains the muscles that make the legs and wings move.

sunflower

taken while descending Mt. Ugu, Benguet

European explorers saw their first sunflower in South America. The Incas grew a tall, single stemmed sunflower from years of selecting and breeding plants from a smaller, native wild flower. Spanish botanists were among the first to receive batches of seeds brought back by the explorers, and by 1580 the sunflower was a common sight in Spanish villages. From Spain, the sunflower spread to Italy, Egypt, India, China, and Russia where it was first grown commercially as an important oilseed crop.

The American Indians grew the sunflower as a food crop and ate the calcium-rich seeds As with most plants cultivated by indigenous people who lived close to the earth, the sunflower had more than one use. A yellow dye was extracted from the petals, oil was extracted and used for ceremonial body painting, the stalks produced an exceptionally light fibre - still said to be one of the lightest fibres known - and the blooming times of the plant indicated dates in the hunting calendar.

A Brief History
(from http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Cakes/BlackForestCake.htm)

Called Schwarzwälderkirschtorte in German, which means Black Forest Cherry Torte (torte is the German word for cake). It is a chocolate layer cake with Kirsch, whipped cream, sour cherries and chocolate curls.

16th Century - The origin of this cake in unknown, but historians believes it originated in the late 16^th century in the Black Forest Region (Der Schwarzwald in German) located in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The name, Schwarzwald, evokes darkness and mystery coming from the romantic German concept of Waldeinsamkeit or forest-loneliness.

This region is known for its sour cherries and Kirsch or Kirschwasser (a double distilled, clear cherry brandy made from the sour Morello cherry). Combine these cherries with the German’s love of chocolate, and you have this wonderful chocolate confection with cream and cherries.

tree

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day;
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Stay by Cueshe

I believe
We shouldnt let the moment pass us by
Life's too short
We shouldnt wait for the water to run dry

Think about it
Cause we only have one shot at destiny
All im asking
Could it possibly be you and me?

So if you'd still go, i'll understand
Would you give me something just to hold on to?
And if you'll stay, i'll hold your hand
Cause im truly, madly, crazy in love with you

Time has come
For us to go our separate ways
God forbid
But my mind is going crazy today

I feel so cold
Feel so numb
Im having nightmares but im awake
Help me lord
Fight this loneliness
Take this pain away

So if you'd still go, i'll understand
Would you give me something just to hold on to?
And if you'll stay, i'll hold your hand
Cause im truly, madly, crazy in love with you

Now that you're gone, im all alone
Im still hoping that you would come back home
Dont care how long, but im willing to wait
Cause im truly, madly, crazy in love with you

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.

Serenity

God, grant me the...
SERENITY to accept the things
I cannot change...
COURAGE to change the things
I can...
and WISDOM to know the difference.

And not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful

Innocence Wild

who needs to know
when it all comes and when it all goes
Who needs to know just when
Fate will take you there

It's a charmed life
Innocence wild
Crayola skies for a thousand miles
It's a good life in the happily ever after
Last page of a very last chapter
It's the story of a charmed life
