Self-portrait. Is this theme easy or difficult? It was difficult for me and here’s why:
I remember having several self-portrait photos during a time I just had a haircut. I can’t find these in my active files anymore and my guess is that they are stored in the CDs. Much as I tried hunting for a photo of me that I took, I saw none that showed me, except a few of my feet and hands. Ha!
Anyway, here I am, enjoying the fine white beach sands of Bohol. <- clickable word

I didn’t do anything to the photo except to crop, resize and put text. The blurred part is where the sea water swirls on my feet.
Love it there, can’t wait to go back.

Educational field trips can be fun! Let me rephrase that, field trips usually are not much fun to children unless these are done in fun places.
This photo is a part of my son’s field trip last year where they learned about green living and recycling among others. They are on their way down a hill for some river wading moments.

My youngest child went to visit the home of the country’s national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. They also went to a farm where she went fishing.
My eldest child meanwhile did nature walk, river wading and rappelling with her classmates.
Educational field trips are fun!!
I used to think that life is easy and uncomplicated. That life is like the ebb and tide of the ocean where waves are dictated by how strong the winds are or how gentle the breeze is and that no matter how strong the wave wants to go a different way, it has to submit to the wind’s whims.

Later on, as I grew older and perhaps wiser, I realized that in life, we can either choose to be like the wave: submissive and accepting that which it is destined to become, a part of the heaving ocean, strong in the face of the storms and gentle in times of calm. (more…)
August 4 marked the field trip for the son.

We went to two factories and bought bags and bags of baked bread, cookies and noodles for snacks. (more…)
Fishing is NOT for the impatient. Fishing during a field trip.

My youngest child was patient enough to wait for the fish to bite the hook where a worm was attached. (more…)
