Prayers to Japan

Japan has always been my second favorite country in Asia and It has always been one of the countries I dream of visiting. I have relatives in Japan and know quite a few people from there. Japanese are very friendly, they don't deserve any of these disasters. I pray for them...

...to the people who died, to the people who have lost their loved ones, to the people who were affected by the earthquake, to the people who lost their homes, to the people who thought that it was just another day to get through, to the people who became heroes, to the people who saved and were saved...

There are a lot of things happening in the world right now - wars and natural disasters. What happened to Japan could've happened to any of us, it could happen right at this moment - to me, to you, to your friend, to your family.... and I think it's time that we all stop being indifferent. Let's all PIONEER RADICAL CHANGE.

True Colors are Beautiful like a Rainbow

I was at the mall the whole day last Thursday (this blog post was supposed to come out last week but honestly, i haven't been really in the "blogging mood") and I decided to take like super random pictures. So, here are some selected pictures from that day and I decided to arrange them by color according to the ROYGBIV pattern, only there's no IV :P

Red. It reminds me of passion, of love, of blood - Not that i'm into gory stuff, it's just that blood reminds me of surgery-related things and being a surgeon is like my ultimate dream!

RED

It's one of those art stuff from Starbucks

......It's the Cafe Havana umbrellas

.....It's the giant flower from the walls of glorietta

It's the transport bus, really helpful to those people who commute everyday.

Orange. I honestly don't like orange unless it's beside something that's apple green (it's my fave). The only thing i remember when i see something orange is the fruit orange. OKAAAYY LAME.

ORANGE

It's breadtalk! my favorite bread store! :)) The original Floss and beckham and cheese are my favorites! yum!

Its a bus again, but orange this time!

Yellow. It's PINOY PRIDE because of Ninoy and Cory Aquino - a constant reminder to always love my country, to support and defend (to those who criticize) it.

YELLOW

Chairs from one of the restaurants in Greenbelt 5

The giant Swatch watch in Greenbelt 5 with Ninoy and Cory on it

yeah ok, very random. Garbage bag :P

Green. It's the environment. You have no idea how much I love trees! I super use scratch papers for my school notes okay (hence, the blog name). People should save trees and the environment in general. Climate Change angers me especially those people who don't give a damn about it. I mean it's okay if you think that climate change is just a myth or whatsoever but at least respect those people who are trying their best to save the world. ( i'm not hitting anyone here :))

I really love the Ayalas for planting trees around the malls

The Church in Greenbelt 3

i can't survive three days without SB :\

Apple green. that's my favorite color over there! HAHA

Random again hahah :P

Blue. It reminds me of my dad who works as a captain of a cargo ship. When I see the beach, he's the first thing i remember... thinking if he's alright and safe wherever he is. :) AND i hate it but it also reminds me of my fourth year research paper which was about how climate change affects the marine ecosystem of the Pacific Ocean. haha yeah, i had to know scientific stuff about corals and such :)) but oh well. i loved that paper! :P

It's What Hat, had my first ever taste of Froyo there! haha. and it was a very unforgettable experience too with arcee, kaycee and aya! the boy selling yema? :\ hmmmm

I have no idea what building that is BUT it has blue-ish windows so it's here :P

It's the fountain in the middle of greenbelt 3( 2nd flr :P) i forgot the name of the person who designed it! ughhh! i remember reading it in a magazine . FAIL.

Powerbooks! blue an orange hahha. I love that place, it's like my library since when i have nothing else to do in the mall i go there, grab a book and sit somewhere and read :P HAHAH. I usually get art and photography books!

so there that's it! This blog post is fail. I'm in a rush right now and i'm really REALLY not in the mood to blog anything recently. :( :\

and i really just want to share this quote from my friend in high school "There are few colors in the world, God should make more" heehee. SORRY BABAW BUT I FIND IT AMUSING! AHHA.

Subic '10

The Nightingale company invited my family as a special guest to their Subic getaway! This Subic trip was different because we went trekking instead of the usual banana boat ride/night party/zoobic etc. I actually didn't know that we were going to trek so i was wearing slippers the whole time which made the whole thing harder and more challenging. I slipped a lot of times and almost fell on the ground. It was more of a time-with-nature kind of trip, which i actually liked. Gotta love the environment and the trees were just really REALLY big. Our tour guide for the trekking was an aeta and she was already 52 years old. She told us the different uses of the trees found in that forest or whatever you call that place. She actually also told us stories about the trees (e.g balete)...but i dont know if she just made that up or what haha. Then she made us straws and cup out of bamboo. The way she made em was fascinating like it only took her a minute to make a cup. After the trekking we had lunch and we used banana leaves as plates. It was a very educational trip and I got to exercise.

SC -TEX

Me and my sister. The thing im biting is the straw the aeta made. Parang starbucks straw lang ehh :))

That's me
