rain in the summer
multi-coloured rainbow’s out
promising some hope
promising some hope
for a bright and charming day
rain gives us blessing
colourful brollies
glimmering in the rain
worship going on
worship going on
climbing up the temple
offering their thanks

Such a lovely day on a beautiful tropical paradise. Enjoying my time walking on a nice sandy beach. From the beachfront cottage I have some gorgeous views of the ocean. Snorkelling is fun and exciting. House reef is fantastic. Sea water is crystalline and very clear. Swimming with the fish, that’s heaven! A school of fish, barracuda, angel fish, sting rays, jelly fish, small shark, and fish of different species and colours. It is just amazing!

when we kissed by the moonlight
life will always be

After three days tiger watching (we saw 2 tigers one morning, otherwise, mostly tiger food) in Ranthambhore, we boarded the train to New Delhi. It would take six hours of travelling. We were in the first class carriage. We passed by people boarding the other classes and the economy, hundreds of them! They were cheek by jowl, virtually holding one another up. The vendors came, selling tea, dodgy water, home-made vanilla ice-cream and crisps. We bought the ice-cream and boy, did we suffer! Food poisoning in the middle of the night wasn’t funny. That was an experience and a half.

dark blue bilberries
splendour of Yorkshire meadows
different throughout the year
chilly spring and warm winters
red grouse nests on the ground
cycling on this day
meadow where corn are growing
enchanting for me
enjoyed singing with the birds
as my hair was blown by breeze
a dandelion
as part of a meadow
what a welcome sight
serene feeling all over
pleasure being part of it

As we all approach the New Year
We wonder what it brings
Release the stars and lights so clear
Spare us the gutter stings
Good tidings it brings for us all
Roll the dice and see what’s our call
Good tidings
Good tidings
Down the lane we don’t feel small
Splitting atoms and new finds
A gold pin of honour
Fall in line for all thing spellbinds
Do things that make us whir
Carpe diem or seize the day
Sometimes we need a breakaway
Carpe diem
Carpe diem
Do things that make our days not grey
Happy New Year everyone!

“It’s snowing, it’s snowing!” A week after I’ve arrived in France, it started snowing. I couldn’t believe my eyes; the whole world was blanketed in white! It was so incredibly gorgeous and perfect, no footsteps in it, just lumps and bumps where plants sat in the gardens and cars entirely covered in snow. I was mesmerised. As soon as I’ve felt its powdery texture, I thought to myself, “This was the White Christmas people were dreaming about.” I couldn’t imagine that just a week ago, from sweltering morning – traffic starting to build up in Manila. The noise of cars, taxis, motorcycles, vans and jeepneys beeping and honking, children going to school and adults to work, street vendors selling taho (soya) or peanuts. Such a difference! A normal hectic day in Manila compared to a peaceful, snowy one in France.
first time to see snow
I could still remember it
I cried with joy
the snow has fallen
on branches and leaves of trees
I tried to taste it
