The Evening Darkens Over
a poem by Robert Bridges
The evening darkens over
After a day so bright,
The windcapt waves discover
That wild will be the night.
There’s sound of distant thunder.
The latest sea-birds hover
Along the cliff’s sheer height;
As in the memory wander
Last flutterings of delight,
White wings lost on the white.
There’s not a ship in sight;
And as the sun goes under,
Thick clouds conspire to cover
The moon that should rise yonder.
Thou art alone, fond lover

Music can soothe the heavy heart and the troubled spirit.

Photos make posts more interesting. But if there are many photos to accompany a post, or if one is posting a series of photos to describe a place or show a series of events, there should be modifications done to the photos.
What specific modification?
Have the photos resized. How? Resize the photos by reducing the pixels. Instead of just uploading the photos from the camera and posting these in the blog, resize them by utilizing the different software for photos available in the market.
Why the need to do these?
For easier viewing and loading of photos. Not everyone has a fast internet connection and when photos are not resized to a smaller size, it would be painfully slow to have these appear. It looks funny sometimes when the photo even goes beyond the margin where the posts appear. Interest in viewing blogs like these are not sustained.
Even when emailing photos, it is best to have these resized. Ideal size would be anywhere from 500-800 pixels, ideal for viewing purposes.
I use 300 pixels in width for photos in this blog.
Below is a sample of 300 pixels x 400 pixels, resized from the original size of 1200pixels x 1600 pixels.
Below is a sample of a 400 pixels x 534 pixels photo.
The second photo looks huge. In my opinion, the first one is better. What do you think?

Where exactly am I?
No, I am not in Korea. I am in the Philippines. But why are these things written here, at the supermarket?
Its as if they have taken over the country. Everywhere one goes, its as if they are there. Oh even if one does not see them face to face, one can hear their voices, booming. One can smell their cigarette smoke even if the sign says “No Smoking”. Plus a lot more. Not saying all of them but most give their nationality a bad name.

Paper boxes anyone? Paper boxes are great for organizing knick-knacks around the house or in an office, just label the boxes according to what’s inside and one would not have a hard time looking for what is needed. These can come handy too for gifts, just add a big ribbon or glue some embellishments and a card.
Great for a business venture too.
No, they don’t know I am blogging about them.
These paper boxes are available here -> He Cares Foundation
