I'm taking this with me

Grand Piano

I would take with me a baby grand piano so I could keep learning and mastering the instrument. The piano is one instrument that has captivated me from my early years to the present. It is one of the coolest inventions of mankind. It is a God-inspired invention.

By the way, I could play all day and all night and never lose the inspiration.

The Last Time I Thanked Someone

Tags

gratitude, Thanksgiving

 

I have the habit of thanking everyone. It has been my response to every form of human goodness, either sent my way or to another creature. But lately, I have been plagued with forgetfulness I am afraid there are people that I have forgotten to thank.

So, right here and right now, let me say this to everyone who has been very kind, very tolerant and appreciative of me for what I have done, either for them or for the church where I worship or the work that I do in Mitsubishi, or in our community: Maraming salamat po! I am so blessed to be surrounded by good caring people.

 

The World Would Be a Better Place If…

we give every person we meet the benefit of the doubt. And that we do not jump into conclusions too soon. Every person’s experience is unique and every person has the capability to tell the truth and do the right thing. Never ever judge a person you hardly know. If you do, you are giving yourself away. It is you you are seeing and not this person you are yet to know.

Mushy Google Maps

my life, Palawan, ponderings, thoughts

Just this dawn, I scanned some places in the Google Maps Site. Some places are noteworthy, and some arouse my curiosity. Some spots give a considerable view of the cities and towns. But in other areas, especially in the provinces, there were hardly any structure in view.

But one place causes me melancholia. Everytime I looked at that spot, I feel sad. All I can see were vegetation and one solitary indication that a long stretch of a road exists in that far far away land.  And there resides my little relatives I long to embrace and lift up in my arms.

But all I see are specks of clouds above the tiny green trees and barren spots. It looks so lonely I feel pain in me.  There was not any indication of a single roof on that quaint spot. As if there was not a town on that massive landscape; a town where part of my family are thriving and spending many days of their lives away from me.

I can be so melodramatic about it.

Ah, Google Maps make me sad.
