Cotton Candy Sky

Those pinkish clouds sort of remind me of the cotton candies I used to eat when I was young. Don't you sometimes wish we could go back to being a child once again... Those were the times when we find joy even in the most simple things in life.

Old House

My father recalls that they had the biggest house in their small barrio in Ilocos when he was a child. Now outdated, worn-out and damaged through time, the former status of my grandparents' house in their barrio remains only as a faint memory in the distant past. Seeing the modern houses (some far bigger) in its neighborhood everytime we visit there makes my father get a little depressed of what their house had become. Someday he wants to restore it so that it may reclaim what he thinks is its rightful throne.

Peace Palace

Locating this palace in Den Haag was pretty tough but we were determined to find it because it looked very nice on the post card that we saw. Hehe. Sure enough it was really nice. Every country in the world contributed something in the construction of this building, thus promoting peace among all nations. For example, the clock at the bell tower was contributed by Switzerland. Makes me wonder: What did the Philippines contribute?
