my own sampaguita bloom on top a few summers back and a semi-look alike one i took at the sides of Paco church, beautiful. sampaguitas are flowers that are different from the rest. with its exotic and intoxicating perfume similar to rosals and ilang-ilang. these flowers are just wonderful, for the eyes and for the nose :)
there are so many beautiful things in this world. flowers, music to name two. this blog is just one dust in the wind, one tiny speck of sand in a beach, one blade of grass...it can't contain all these wonderful gifts that God had given us to enjoy while we can, while we are still alive. for fact is no one can predict the future of our lives. we're here today but gone tomorrow. we laugh today but we might have a sorrowful tomorrow. same as we smile today but we might not tomorrow. so what are we humans suppose to do? color our lives as much as we can, as often as we can, as fast as we can. for we never know what tomorrow may bring, young and old alike. that's the beauty of life :) everyone is fair game, life as death is a great equalizer. in rich and poor humans it comes at any moment mostly without our knowledge. if God says, it's your time to return your borrowed life, you must. old or young no exception :) you think that you are young today then you are a winner. but those older than you had won for God had granted them years already. and YOU? it's still hanging in the air for you do not know for sure if you'll live tomorrow...just a thought :)...let's pray for a more colorful tomorrows then. that's all we could do actually for we all are at the mercy of one powerful force. you think if all human kind can put this in its brain, everyone will be kinder, everyone will only have love for each other. but the sad part is our intelligence forgot to inform us that life is fleeting, life is short as life is timed...
this is the man who played the classical sampaguita music with that great AMORSOLO painting in my previous entry which i've never seen before, the painting of a church with those high steps and some vendors below and a family with an umbrella at the bottom with that colorful blooming tree above. yes! i'd like to have it and i'll just settle for a reproduction or print for i don't have the millions to buy it, laughs.
bulaklak na walang kaparis sa halimuyak, that is what a sampaguita is :) but the best memory of this flower for me is when the late husband of my virgin mary look alike spanish benefactor picks them in their garden and puts them in their altar...nothing tops that yet :> ...
i'm in search for quite awhile now on how best to end a blog. what i discovered is life like a blog moves on as morning comes. and maybe when it happens it'll just happen. as when a song ends it could be played again and again until you get bored and time to tune in to a new song. a new tune as you continually search for life's purpose, your own life's purpose and meaning that is. when a door closes, the past goes with. it's time to welcome a new rising sun, a new day. a new path that hopefully will bring fulfillment, happiness and contentment in our lives...
