Nasubukan nyo na ba bumiyahe sa SCTEx? Sarap dun no? Bukod sa walang trapik, maganda pa ang tanawin.
Dito kami dumadaan pauwi sa bahay ng mga magulang ko, kahit na mas malayo kesa sa usual na dinadaanan at may dagdag na gastos sa toll fee, ok na din siguro yun kasiwalang mga pasaway na makakasalubong 😉
Pero alam nyo ba na itong daan na ito ay ginagamit upang gawing mantsa laban kay NoyNoy Aquino?
Basahin nyo na lang yung link at kayo na ang “humusga”.

Ang saya (kahit hindi ako nakababa diyan dahil ako ay may sprained ankle) ng mga bata nung kami ay huminto sa tabi ng daan upang sila ay makaranas ng paglalakad sa tubig ng ilog!
Kaya lang… Read more

There is no stopping Christmas. Even the cool mornings and the bright night sky with stars that shine like loose diamonds are signs that indeed the season is just around the bend.
I have always been fascinated by December night sky: bright twinkling stars, cool air, bright moon, and the “smell” of Christmas in the air.
Some of the things I can vividly remember during the month of December are the sounds of waves crashing on the soft sand a few meters from where I sleep on the ground, the smell of the morning dew on the grass, grand sunrises and sunsets with colors that change everyday, the sound of people singing praise songs and the sound of silence when everything and everyone has settled down to rest for the night.
Am I dreaming of these experiences? Yes, I am now but not when I was younger and all these I have experienced for several years.
I think this stems from having experienced many a night camping with young people after Christmas, in a youth church activity called Christmas Institute. I cherished these years close to my heart and I am thankful that I was able to experience all these and more while I was growing up.
The chance to be with friends and the thrill of meeting new friends are just toppings on the cake, if I may say so. During these events, the self-discipline to follow camp rules and self-restraint to not do the things I’d rather do when I am not up to the tasks lined up for the day, the awakening of good values and virtues plus the realization of how big and how powerful God’s role in my life is are all definitely worth remembering.
I wish my children get to experience these too.

Tuyo, dry.
Ang summer o tag-araw ay panahon ng tagtuyo. Ang tagtuyo ay ramdam hindi lamang sa pagkawala o kakulangan ng tubig sa ating mga tahanan.
Ito ay nakikita sa tuyong kabukiran na dapat sana ay pangunahing pinagkukunan ng pagkain. Dahil sa pagkatuyot, karamihan ng mga bukirin ay tila ba mga walang silbing nakatiwangwang na lupain animo inabuso at inubusan ng lakas.
Hindi lang ang ating mga bukirin ang dumaranas ng tagtuyo. Lalo na ang ating mga kabundukan, tila ba ang mga ito ay dumaan sa napakaraming abuso at wala ng buhay at luntiang kulay na maibigay.
Ang pondong para sana sa irigasyon o patubig ay hindi umaabot para sa mga dapat makinabang nito.
Dumaan ang napakaraming bagyong nagdulot ng pagbaba at pagguho ng lupa na ikinasawi ng libo-libo nating mga kababayan.
Sayang na buhay, sila ay walang kalaban-laban sa hagupit at lupit ng kalamidad na dapat sana ay naiwasan kung hindi sa kasakiman ng ilang mga indibidwal.
Ang bundok ay kalbo, ang maitim na bahagi ay hindi mga puno kundi anino ng ulap sa nasa langit. Ang bukirin ay walang tanim dahil walang senyales na meron patubig dito.

Matamis. Sweet.
Yan ang unang pumapasok sa isipan natin kung tsokolate ang pag-uusapan. That is the first thing that comes to mind when one is talking about chocolates.
Me in-edit na nga akong larawan para dito, isang chocolate fountain. Kaya lang nagbago ang isip ko. Heto na lang: I have already edited a photo for this theme, a chocolate fountain. But I changed my mind and decided on this instead:
Bucao River, Botolan, Zambales
Ang Ilog ng Bucao na dumadaloy mula sa Bulkang Pinatubuan Pinatubo. May pagka-kulay tsokolate ang tubig. Marahil dahil ang mga bundok sa may di kalayuan ay kulay tsokolate din kasi kalbo na. Lalo na sa tag-init, litaw ang kulay tsokolate sa mga kinalbong bundok.
Bucao River which runs from Mount Punatubo. The water is brownish, like chocolate. Maybe because the mountains in the background are also brown because there are no more trees. The brown color is apparent during summer.
