Moments_Aftie Biking 🚲

I got a chance to go out biking with kiddos today and saw these lovely flowers along the roadside and I can't help to stop, snapped a photo, and admire their beauty...

Sharing those photos I snapped today😊

“Minds are like flowers; they open only when the time is right.” 

“Flowers… 

are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities in the world.”

“Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower.” – John Harrigan

“Flowers are like friends; They bring color to your world.”

“Flowers are the music of the ground. From earth’s lips spoken without sound.” – Edwin Curran

“Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. 

They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.”

Moments_I am an NCOVID19 SURVIVOR

I recently joined an FB group for NCOV19 Positive and Survivors and read one post about how rampant discrimination is happening outside our homes. I got hurt and ashamed and felt the same way as anyone who experienced the stigma though I looked at it differently now.

Yes, I got discriminated too- countless times because of this sickness. However, I did not let it sink into me and have them win over me.

Whenever peeps discriminate me because of that, the more I shout this to their faces through my post and killing them more with kindness and respect. "Nagkasakit lang ako, pero di ibig sabihin nun di ko na kayang gawin ang trabaho ko"

I wanted to inspire and motivate NCOV19 patients and survivors in this post of mine through my slogans.  

I posted this through my different SocMed stories to raise awareness that NCOV19 IS NO JOKE.

I am an NCOVID19 SURVIVOR. Yes! I got sick and here I am, a survivor of the pandemic.

Do not let these people take out your confidence and happiness in you whenever you return to your workplace or go out once again.

Moments_Depression

Psychologist Saying:

1. Kapag matagal matulog ang isang tao,malalim ang lungkot nya.

2. Kapag  madami syang pagkain na kinain, means stress sya.

3. Kapag naman nagagalit sya kahit  sa maliit na bagay, means gusto nya aruga, bigyan sya ng pansin, at gusto nyang mahalin sya ng mga tao.

4. Kapag naman OA or malakas syang tumawa, ibig sabihin malungkot sya deeply.

"Be observant sa mga taong nakakausap o nakakahalubilo mo."

The Truth is, None of us really know how much someone else is Hurting. We could be standing right beside someone who is completely broken and has no idea.

Be kind always and ask "R U Okay?" "Hey, how R U?

September is a Suicide Prevention Month.

Moments_Toxic

Some partners can be so toxic to your health. 

They don't want to love you properly, but they don't want to let you go either. The more you give the less they appreciate, and the minute you've had enough and decide to walk away is when they are ready to love you and treat you right. 

So you give them a chance in the hopes they've changed only to realize it was all fake. You find the strength to walk away once more and here they come again proclaiming their love for you and you give in, AGAIN. 

A partner showing anger and persistence to get you back once you try to break it off isn't proof of love; its a knee jerk reaction. A partner kissing your ass or making flaccid attempts to be nicer for two weeks isn't proof that they are trying, its proof that they know you well enough to know how to defuse you long enough to hook you once again. 

Take away a toy, a little boy/girl cries. Take away a relationship of convenience, a partner cries. Just because they cries doesn't mean you give them what they want. 

Stop listening to what your partner keeps promising and start watching what their actions actually keep telling you. 

A lot of you women/men don't know what it's like to be loved by a real man/woman. You know lust, you know joy, you know the passion and you know the fear of abandonment. 

Stop chasing your idea of what love should be and recognize what love IS. 

Love isn't promising to act right after he/she gets caught fucking up time and time again.

Love is him/her acting right from the start because he/she doesn't want to fuck up. 

Love isn't telling your grown man/woman he/she needs to change so he/she can keep you; 

Love is a grown man/woman changing on his own because they can't imagine life without you.

Photos_Fishermen in Longos

Would you believe this photo is almost 20 years old?

Saw this picture, while digging some stuff today😊

I took this in Longos in the boundary of Cavite and Las Piñas during dusk where fisherman ready their nets to catch fish in the evening.

This picture is just one of those 1st photos I took with a borrowed Canon SLR negative camera 📸 for my photojournalism class and has been featured in the Manila Times broadsheet paper where I had my on-job-training summer of 2000😊.
