The World is Yours

“Do not let your fire go out, 

spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, 

the not-yet, and the not-at-all. 

Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. 

The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
~ Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged ~

Do not seek to bring things to pass
in accordance with your wishes,
but wish for them as they are,
and you will find them.
~Epictetus~

Manila Bay Twilight

I wanted to take a photos of the famous sunset of Manila Bay, unfortunately we're too engrossed with the fishes inside Manila Ocean Park. By the time we're in the second floor, the viewing area of Manila Bay, the sun had already set, all I got were Twilight hues, orange sunlight scattered in the atmosphere.

 

Next time I'll visit Manila I hope to photograph the beautiful sunset of Manila Bay.

Orange Sky at Cabanglasan

This is how sunset looks like beyond the coconut trees and mountains of Bukidnon, taken in front of my inlaws home at Cabanglasan Bukidnon.

Orange sky, just a perfect sunset on a perfect weather. I'm glad I was able to snap this scene the moment we arrived at Cabanglasan because the following day the sun was covered with dark skies and pouring rain.

Just an Orange Sky

 Just an Orange Sky in One Ordinary Day.

 Here's an inspiration message from Mother Teresa about Life.

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”
― Mother Teresa

Have a Happy Weekend!

Sunset in the City

Capturing the sun setting in the City. 

This photo was taken using my android phone while crossing the Marcos Bridge in Cagayan de Oro City. The photo looks more interesting after it was edited using Instagram.

But I still love the original photo below with no tweaks been made. I just placed a border and had it watermarked.

The sunset was indeed a magnificent sight, even with all the billboards and electric lines that block the view.

The Sun Will Rise Again

 The Sun Will Rise Again

I know the sun will rise again
I saw the sun set on my dream
I saw myself toil in vain
I saw my tears flow like a stream
But I know the sun will rise again

I know the sun will rise again
The other day I was a hero
Yet today I feel the pain
As I wind down to zero
But I know the sun will rise again

I am lost in this stormy rain
Tossed by fierce winds day after day
My strength the storm has drain
But I wait on hope's smiley ray
When the sun will rise again

I know the sun will rise again
I have groped in pitch darkness
Searching for answers, searching in vain
But I wait on the morning brightness
When the sun will rise again.

As the Sun Sets

Every time you wake up and ask yourself, What good things am I going to do today?, remember that when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it.

Fiery Sunset at CDO

This photo was taken last Friday May 4, 2012. On our way home from SM City CDO I noticed this fiery sunset against the mountains and trees. I asked hubby to pull-over so that I can capture the scene. The result straight from the camera is quite impressive.

No tweaks has been done this photo, just added border and watermark.

Postcard-Like Scene

This is my entry to the Techie She Lucky Blogger Weekly Giveaways Week 19. This week’s prize is $10 paypal credits from Ruby of Postcard Enthusiast.


I wanted to try collecting postcards around the world. Aside from the fact that it's one of the latest craze in the cyber world but receiving those from people you only get to know on the net is awesome, plus a chance to get to know those beautiful places even just through postcards is already like personally traveling around the world.

But as of now I cannot get into the craze yet because I don't have registered postal box, and I don't intend to get one right now because of the not so good humors that I've heard about the postal office here in the city. Maybe by next year after our transfer to CDO I can reconsider.

For now, I'm sharing to you my first ever postcard like sunset that I have photographed in 2009 using a DSLR camera at Zamboanga City.

This photo was first posted here and I'm sharing it again for you to give your constructive criticisms.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Sunset & Wisdom

 

 The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think, and what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny ... it is the light that guides your way.

~Heraclitus~
