God Has Perfect Timing

God has perfect timing;

never early, never late.

It takes a little patience and it takes a lot of faith

but it's worth the wait.

Fireworks 2016

 "Don't talk of Life as if its one big package of miseries -

it is the very essence within that passes through both you,

and your enemies and every permissible illusion.

Once you're opened to, and are awakened to your true nature,

fireworks light up your path,

irrespective whether it is a "Tariqa", or a pathless one!"

every pain,
every suffering,
joy and confusion."

I learn from the past, dream about the future and look up. 
There's nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day."

are best relieved by letting of a little water."
- Christopher Morley

Morning Sky

This shot is taken last week before we left home for work. We are in a rush for we might get late at work so I used my phone instead of the camera.

Nueva Ecija Sky

"Clouds do not really look like camels

or sailing ships or castles in the sky.

They are simply a natural process at work.

So too, perhaps, are our lives."

- Roger Ebert

Nueva Ecija Sky (By-pass road, Cabanatuan)

"The soul can split the sky in two

Framed this scenery on our way home from Nueva Ecija.

Blue

It's mid-week already and here is my entry for the week.Talking about "up, up and away", BLUE will be the easiest color you can think of.

"Clouds do not really look like camels
or sailing ships
or castles in the sky. 
They are simply natural process at work. 
So too, perhaps are our lives."

Do you enjoy watching the blue sky?

yet Heaven is just, and the day of triumph will surely come,

when justice and truth will be vindicated."

Up, Up and Away Wednesday: Ball of Fire

"Sunsets, like childhood, 
are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful
but because they are fleeting."
– Richard Paul Evans

I already posted another version of this shot. You can check it HERE.

Let's make a survey. Which one do you prefer? The grayscale or this one?

Orange Sun

"There’s a sunrise
and sunset every single day, 
and they’re absolutely free. 
Don’t miss so many of them"
– Jo Walton

I got this shot one afternoon on our way home from work. The sun was really big and orange. If I got a nicer glass (term for lens my professional photographer), I framed this better.

By the way, oldies said that when you see a orange or reddish sun, there is a strong storm coming. After a week of seeing this, "Santi" came. Is the saying true or just a coincidence?

Up, Up and Away Wednesday: Divine Mercy Bell Tower

"When I admire the wonder of a sunset,
or the beauty of the moon,
my soul expands in worship of the Creator."
– Mahatma Gandhi

Finally, I was able to share these shots taken when we attended a Sunday Mass at the Divine Mercy Shrine two months ago.

Up, Up and Away Wednesday: Electric Grid

"Know what yo want to do, hold the thought firmly,

and do everyday what should be done,

and every sunset will see you

that much nearer to your goal."

- Elbert Hubbard

Go on, keep moving and enjoy life. One day you will notice, you are just few steps away from your achieving your goals.

Up, Up and Away Wednesday: St. Joseph Chruch

Who is the happier man, 

he who has braved the storm of life and lived or 

he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?

–Hunter s. Thompson

Bell Tower of St. Joseph Church, San Jose City, Nueva Ecija
