Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

[break]

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

What's in a name

I met someone named Timestocles today, i was at odds on how to pronounce it, so i decided to ask what's the story behind that name.  It turned out that it was not a family thing, i even ask if there was a junior, just in case, thankfully there was none.  There ends the line for Timestocles.  Thanks God.

It is believed that your name can shape your destiny.  This may have some ring of truth to it, but it is still up to you on how you'll manage and live your life.  If you're stuck with a not-so-nice name, don't be sad, instead make the most of what you've got and work from there.  As the saying goes, we are the  makers of our own destiny.  So no worries Timestocles, it's just a name anyway. :)

Wedding Rush

For a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, you might think that I am a sucker for anything connected to weddings.  Not really.  Don't get me wrong, i like what they represent, but not the "drama" attached to them.  I just don't get why you have to spend a lot of hard-earned money on a wedding dress that will only be worn once, or that you have to feed the whole barangay, or that you have to dance to the tune of "pantomina" which is way too old fashioned for my taste by the way. 

Wouldn't it be nice if it could just be you, your partner, and the priest?  What's important is, you love that person and you want to spend the rest of your lives together.  Focus on that.  The wedding ceremony should just be the one to seal it, the icing on the cake, and not the other way around. In this day and age, plus our current economy, we can't afford to be mindless spenders. Just keep this words in mind when planning a wedding: solemnity, simplicity, and fun.  Just a thought. :)

Pag-ibig by Kitchie Nadal

Hindi mo malimutan kung kailan nagsimulang
Matuto kung papa’no magmahal
At ‘di mo malimutan kung kailan mo natikman
Ang una mong halik, yakap na napakahigpit
Pag-ibig na tunay hanggang langit

A Shutter's Click

A lifelong passion finally fulfilled.  Now, it can be told that i am not just a model but an excellent photographer as well, hahaha.. in my dreams :) but maybe, if i give it time and practice more, i can be what i've always wanted to be, a banker by profession, and a professional photographer by heart :)

I've always wanted to tell my stories through pictures, but i was too focused on my day job, was too burned out and too tired to try anything new.  But after pushing the refresh button in my life, one of the promises i made to myself is that i would make time to pursue and follow my dreams, and thanks to Soling, facebook, and the organizers of the photography workshop, a lifelong dream became a reality.  To quote one of the speakers in the workshop, "A passion without action is nothing.."
