carabao in a waterhole

we considered carabao(kalabaw)as our national animal though there is no law or decree that
states carabao being our national animal..in my country carabao plays a great role in agriculture.. farmers usually use this animal to work in the field to prepare the soil for planting,it  also help in bringing/carrying the crops to be sell in  the city...like cow, carabao's milk is also good for human consumption and i remember my family drinking it every morning except me who was originally born not drinking milk of animals(only my mothers milk when i was still a baby).we used to have 3 carabao's and i saw how this animal help us on our living...it sad when one of them need to sacrifice i can still remember when my brother got married and my family decide to sell the female one...leaving the male and the baby carabao with us...its becoming lesser and lesser now and i just hope  our government will do something to preserve their life hope no one kills them just for food,for they do great jobs in the fields.and they must be preserve for future generations...

even carabao feel the heat  of the steaming weather and enjoying himself in his waterhole didn't even bother to get up and pose for a while to me....by the way,i took this photo in shou shan zoo park in kaohsiung when my niece,a freind and i went there.

hello guys,this photos are the continuation of my 2009 world gamess series and this part covers the south part of the stadium and some part of the pond....that sweet little girl who posed for me was  a surprised because the truth is it is the dog im going to take a shot but then when i ask the kid if she like to join she automatically sat down with the dog and posed with her sweet smile.it was really a surprised not all kids in taiwan would do that they usually are very hesitant/aloof  to foreigners like us....thanks to her mom who allowed me to take photos of her and the dog.its about time for me to rest so i will make this a bit short...wish everyone a wonderful week and Godbless!please enjoy the rest of the pictures and come again next time......

...don't and never give up.....

after all the trials,the pain,the sufferings there are still lot of good things i must be thankful for...my family friends,all the things around me now giving me much more time to enjoy my life whenever i got chance to see all the amazing things He created for us  "im still very lucky" not all have chance to see or experienced anything like i do... lucky i am for having a very very nice boss who just announced my salary increased...im not always into salary because i always believed "what you reap is what you sow".i just told myself i don't have to give up and i must keep moving for life is beautiful the fact that being alone makes me feel sad sometimes...i know everything will gonna be alright...   

~Defeat may test you; it need not stop you. If at first you don't succeed, try another way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up.~

"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."
~ Brian Tracy

"Perseverance is a great element of success. If you knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody."~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

.....if only i could fly

2 days ago as i was standing at my window looking up in the sky i was thinking then on what should i cook for that day it is actually my birthday but because i don't have any plans of celebrating it i didn't prepare anything...my mind is too busy thinking,thingking of many things i even stare on the sky for too long-my mind was full of questions....i asked myself if what have i done for the past 34 years of my life???did i achieve anything???am i happy for all those years,did i fulfill my duty very well as a human....well,i still don't know,for that 34 years i have my ups and downs and i could say my childhood was a bliss till i reach my adolescence period... i started to become serious with my life-with everything when i learned the word "love" yeah right,i seriously got inlove at the age of 17(i got  crushes on opposite sex and suitors by the age of 13,but nothing serious),by that time my world started to change in so many ways....reminiscing???a bit,lol!  sometimes,its not easy to celebrate alone co'z you can think alot of things i even think of going home again co'z i missed my family so bad...i  missed my dad  even more.....if only i could fly like a bird then i would just fly anytime if i think of them.... gladly.that before my tears is about to come out God sent these birds(6 flock of birds) for me to know that he is always here for me,they are so lovely and they made my day more meaningful....i have never seen like this before for my 4years in here.....thank God for these wonderful gift....

let me share with you a gift from heaven.....hope you will enjoy as much i enjoy it.....



                the first flock of birds just suddenly came out while i  was looking up above.....

                                                                                 

and there's another one,and another one till they become 4 flock of birds

another two flock of birds joined the first four  then,i saw the first four  turning back to meet the last two and here they meet at the middle

then separate again joining each flock

they are moving a little bit more closer , they are actually very very far im just using my point and shot camera zoom,after they moved a bit nearer they joined again together

then they showed to me their very very majestic performance, i sooo sooo loved them

forming in just one line together......

then joined again together

moving up,bidding their goodbye to me

up,up and away.........

till little by little they are out of my sight and my zoom can't reach them anymore

thank you Lord for these wonderful gift....im lovi'n it!!!!

to see more of skywatch friday go here

love of animals go here

life is like a box of chocolates....

hello my dear blogging friends,just an update ...hope everyone had a wonderful week .... i miss all of you. been very busy this past days and always no chance to update...anyway,for my today post let me offer  this to the soul of filipina worker who passed away just recently,life is just like a box of chocolates sigh*always there's an end......please let us take sometime to pray for her soul that she may rest in peace,she died because of accident,her body was crushed out and leave no remains for her family.i was devastated after hearing the news from my friend and skip my lunch...remember my post what if???? ... for a moment i heard the news about her,i felt like my blood pressure goes up and i remembered my co-worker who got crushed out too but luckily just his one arm because we save him from turning off the machine..i still can remember it sometimes co'z im on duty at that time of incident and i almost fainted at thet time i saw the machine crushing his arm little by little,so scary sigh*.....it's so sad really,but i know God knows everything and i believe HE decides for us...so,just to lessen my loads on my chest please join me for a prayer  for her soul....

For death is but a passing phase of Life;

 A change of dress, a disrobing;
A birth into the unborn again;
 A commencing where we ended;
 A starting where we stopped to rest;
  A crossroad of Eternity;
A giving up of something
to possess all things.
 The end of the unreal,
 the beginning of the real.

 EDWIN LEIBFREED, "The Song of the Soul

 
                           

Life is what you celebrate. All of it. Even its end

Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force
