Graphical images I've collected while I was in Thunderbird Resorts in Rizal. As far as I know I have written about it in my previous blog, before I made this one. I just wanted to share it again because these images are close to my heart, it was taken during my birthday. Some are outtake photos, some may be the same but what's different here are my thoughts. I remember waking up so early getting ready for work. I didn't mind working during my birthday, I have come to love what I do. I work in an academy in connection with the government. The academy is a government owned and controlled corporation that serves the purpose of developing ideas addressing local, national and international importance and facilitates policies and programs in relation to productivity and good governance. Every time people ask me where I work, I always end up chattering explanations of what I do.
I remember I spent the afternoons prancing around the beautiful place admiring green and blue surrounding colors. Located not so far from the city of Manila, the place immensely suggests calmness and serenity. My family came for dinner, we enjoyed ourselves with consecutive tasteful servings of viand. I strongly prefer the salad. Though at night, the fun may never stop coz' I found out that behind the tall doors and series flight of stairs lies a casino. It seems inviting to sit around and bet but I didn't. I decided to swim in blue waters instead.

Aside from my official work, I engage myself in a lot of stuff. Walking in different cities, capturing colorful visuals, occasionally reading different genres of literature and books, editing videos and photos, re-designing blogs, lending my ears and advice to my friends, and the list goes on (and I will never get tired of it). I would come to a point wherein I desire to know and learn things that the world could offer. In a day, there are moments of daydreaming at a certain space of time. Squeezing in as much stuff to do isn't bad enough, is it?
Lately I have come to realized that indeed I have become very busy during the past few months. I am grateful and blessed. Meeting different people in all walks of life has been a whirlwind of adventure. I struggle to talk about myself often, always digressing the topic to ideas which I could blatantly say. I battle myself in speaking but I compensate it through my writing. I find comfort in words that I will have to write and think about for a matter of time. It has been my personality I guess but there are people I'm close with who understands that part of me and as days goes by they have come to know me. My favorite individuals whom I treasure as I continue to live life. There are certain moments seem unforgettable in my mind that I spent with them laughing and laughing till our stomach hurts and nonchalantly converse, even the not-so interesting topics. I speak my affection through the photos I document with. It isn't necessary to speak, but it depicts perfect vision of how I feel.
Twenty-something years of my existence I continue to increase my knowledge, hopes and dreams. I may fall in some point but I would figure my way to stand up. There are a lot things coming up in my plate right now. I don't complain, I feel overwhelmed. I just needed a moment to breathe and think about what to do first. In the middle of the day, I would cloud my thoughts with places I want to visit, and twirl my way through different streets in a different country.
Things may happen unpredictably not all could be positive but I chose to not think about some parts. I bury them at the back of my mind. I channel my persona to positive vibes that would create timeless situation of smiles and laughter.
