Best Speaker Stands and Love Songs

     Love songs, wine, roses and sweet nothings are what I would love to experience next Valentine's Day. Apparently we were too early at the resto for the night of singing and dancing. I am already imagining listening to the beat of romantic guitar and piano melodies all played with the best speaker stands  and even that of hubby's soulful voice. He loves singing to me in the car, while walking home, while working together at home and I could feel how good it would be to have him serenading me on a special day. I think we need not wait for next year's Heart's Day because each day spent with the one we love indeed becomes Valentine.

Passing Happiness Around

     Today I saw another child who once again made me feel so contented and happy. She seemed to be chanting while walking along the shore barefooted in comfortable loose clothes with hair freely swaying with the wind.

 

     It was almost sunset and I was spending time at the surfing area with a good friend after visiting the wake of a high school batch mate's dad. As always stricken with grief at the news of someone traveling to the afterlife having experienced myself the pain of losing someone in this lifetime I was in a contemplative mood. I complained a lot about the sky not being royal blue this afternoon and my friend did not know whether to laugh at me or to scold me. I realized I was being unreasonable when my friend spotted this little girl who totally took my attention away from melancholy.

Sillag- Poro Point Festival of Lights 2012

     The following shots were taken during the first ever SILLAG festival of lights held at Thunderbird Resorts Boardwalk, Poro Point, San Fernando City, La Union on April 28, 2012. Sillag is an Ilocano word which means "moonbeam" or "lunar illumination".The event was apparently meant to promote tourism in the North, a part of Bases Conversion and Development Authority's efforts to change the landscape of North and Central Luzon.

     Part of the festivity was a lantern and fluvial parade....photos of which follow...pardon the quality of the shots because my digicam could simply not give justice to the beauty of the magical evening that fascinated this simple soul.

Remnants of a Sunset

     She was staring at nothing in particular. Her hair, black as night was softly dancing in the wind. The smell of the gentle breeze captivated her thoughts. Somewhere along the shore she saw someone scurrying towards her. She drew out a sigh, lifting both hands to gather her mane to her nape. Twilight was lurking. The sky was giving way to darkness. Tiny wings were passing over her head. She could hear them buzzing and feel them shadowing what was left of the light of day. Over the waters she threw pebbles, watched with fascination the formation of ripples. She blinked hearing a loud splash. Someone has created a thudding sound beside her.

River Fun

A fun-filled  day at Amburayan River where we let our boys swim, jump and eat the best of what nature offers...we participated in the tree-planting activity of the law enforcers and together with them pray each day and work to save Mother Earth....

Swimming in my Sleep

     

Flowers have petals, leaves and stem....

         Birds have feathers, wings and beaks....

         

floating love

Petals are one of my favorite things. They are always colored so vividly that even if they have fallen off and are no longer one with their leaves and stem they remain so lovely. I found these ones on my way home on the wet ground after a rainy day floating almost like singing in silence of a love that lives on through the storm...
