Sunday at UP


This is how it looks like on Sundays at the University of the Philippines (UP), Diliman, Quezon City. Leisurely walk, jogging without the fumes, isaw at the side, no vehicular traffic amidst acacia trees that shelter the ground.

Me and my niece, Rae, walked from the house to UP for an hour, then another hour around UP. Our walk ended at the school's shopping mall where creamy shakes and Rodic's Tapsilog felt tempting. It would have defeated our purpose of shedding off some weight if we succumbed to it. I guess fresh fruit shake of mango and lychees was okay. Anyway, i will just get myself bigger pants next time. :)

(My first icon paintwork).

I went to a place that felt like home
to learn and discover something new.
I did not realize that the process would challenge me
to face my own fears, limitations and insecurities.
With the fellowship of those others who journeyed with me,
I learned to muster myself
and just did what I had to do.
Thanks, guys.

One day mama told me to plan and prepare lunch in celebration of the feast of San Isidro Labrador which we believed was also the fiesta at Coob. She said it was a good time to eat lunch with those who have been helping us at the farm all these years.

That Saturday we went to the farm and placed all the food and stuff on an improvised table. The people came. They wondered and asked what the occasion was. We told them: it's the fiesta of Coob!

They laughed and told us that it was four days ago.
Hehehe.
An honest mistake.

Anyway, we all ate and had a relaxing afternoon that day. A rare day.

This was at the school's car show. There were other cars there, as well as monster trucks. I don't know which vehicle won but that Spongebob cutie caught my eye as it's one of the favorite cartoon characters of my baby nephew, Yo.
That's Fr. Benigno Benabare, O.S.B. from the Abbey of Our Lady of Montserrat, Mendiola. A witty ninety-ner. :)

a quote


"I expect to pass through this life but once.
Therefore, if there be any kindness that I can show,
or any good thing that I can do (to another human being),
Let me do it now
for I shall not pass this way again."

- William Penn
