CNN's Night for Heroes...

where the brightest light came from a Filipino, Efren Penaflorida. with his selfless dedication to educating poor kids starting on push carts filled with books. touching less fortunate children by bringing knowledge and education to them with the hopes of changing their lives and their future and helps them defy the odds and be a successful human being who could also be a hero to others eventually. one kind act can make a change. love and dedication to a cause can make a difference in someone else's life for the better. we salute our heroes and we honor them. kudos to all of you for a job well done. you are an inspiration to all of us. an example that we can look up to for the rest of our lives...:)

on this thanksgiving day...we give our heartfelt thanks to the heroes of our lives...our parents, our benefactors, our love ones...or anybody that had touched our lives and turned it around for the better...we thank you all :>

HAPPY THANKSGIVING YOU ALL...per saya...

actions speak louder than words...

you said you were here at three
but now it's five and still you weren't around
you said you would bring me flowers
but a bowl of fruit is all you have

when my garden was young in spring
pink flowers bloomed and the air
was filled with sweet perfume
but now it's fall and my garden's color is fading
where all my blooms are turning brown
and all their leaves were doomed

a lady dove left an empty nest
and drank her way down south
it flew a thousand miles on air
as her lover followed her for he can't
withstand her absence and their past

melancholy, heart broken, sad
and without joy, his heart cried out
his calling never failed, it was heard
and off they went together in paradise...

so ladies...this is a test, let go of your lovey dovies and if they come back to you and want you back, you are a winner :>

HAPPY B-DAY JHONG! ENJOY your special day :) and hello CARMEN, my cousin's muse :>

beautiful scenes...

places where relaxation can be found...daintily hanging green branches of a tree over a lake, a unique and gently cascading waterfall, a sprinkle of refreshing mist from the sky. it is life as we see it everyday. it's like a song that is being played, a soulful serenade to our ears. like a beautiful scene that is caught by a camera lens or created by the gifted hands of an artist. priceless...
