Expecting

It's good to be blogging again...


Last Saturday I got a call from my cousin telling me that I am going to be a godfather of their first child. I was thrilled. Later in the afternoon, I came by to their home. Took this photo as a remembrance of my 4th godchild... (no gender yet, the couple prefers it to be a surprise) hmmm but my guess it's a girl. Let's see.

no title for this.

I dedicate this photo to the people behind Pens of Hope in Davao.



The photo

black and white

I decided to shoot this in black and white because it symbolizes the reality of life, either you are rich or you are poor nothing intermediate. There are only two sides of the coin, ither you're good or bad.

rays of the sun

the sun rays represent hope. A light amidst the darkness. It is a comforting feeling that even in the absence of light, there are these noble people that extend a hand and lead us through our way.

the pencils

A simple reminder that not all of us can afford to buy even a single pen and some might not even have owned a new one.

This is our chance to make a difference, our chance to be involved.

Our pen, their future...

Golden Week is near and a backpacking is waiting to happen. Finally, after months of anticipating this activity to come true I am now in a brink of waking up from a dream.

I am still completing my itinerary though... but for sure hamamatsu and shizuoka are on top of my list.

You pips wanna join me?

Dreaming

"Being single does not entail loneliness", I often remind myself.

But still I want my life to be as normal as it can be. I'd love to have kids someday, two actually and a caring wife who stays with me through ups and downs. I want to go camping with my family, building campfire and fishing on a nearby river. Fixing the leaking pipes in the kitchen, so my wife will be happy when she gets home. Seeing smirks on my children's face whenever they hear my loud fart. Driving an SUV on a road trip during weekends. Scolding my children whenever they did something wrong. Drinking with my friends and sees my wife's nth missed calls on my cellphone. Sleeping on the couch because my wife is mad about what I did. I want to feel the warmth in my home. I want a family.

Now my only concern is that I might wake up one day and realize that it was just all but a mere dream.
