Tout casse, tout passe, tout lasse, excepté le souvenir.Everything breaks, everything passes, everything wearies, except the memory.

@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: Efharisto Eleftheria! :-)
@Suz: Thanks mucho! :-) Thing is, I can't really take too much credit... That place was amazing and so it really wasn't too hard to get decent photos. Haha. But thanks all the same! :-)
@visiones: Efharisto! :-D

This photo tells me what happiness is all about.Don't know but it just does. Also reminds me of a song ive come to love since i was a kid. Oh well, the beauty of photographs... what can i say?...
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream;
Finding your skate key, telling the time.
Happiness is learning to whistle;
Tying your shoe for the very first time.
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band;
And happiness is walking hand in hand.
Happiness is five different crayons;
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree.
Happiness is finding a nickel;
Catching a firefly, setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then;
And happiness is coming home again.
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too!
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you.

@Boogle: And, one musn't forget ... "Happiness is a warm puppy." :-) Salamat ke nea. Maphod an argo! -- a few phrases that I learned from our Ifugao guide while trekking through Banaue and Batad.

@Boogle: Ha. And so it's true. I'm not talking to the *real* boogle. Who are you then, pray tell?
Boogle from Philippines
If only a beagle could type. But he did try tinkering with my notebook. Only that he beaglishly nibbled the edge of the screen instead of punching the keys with his paws. Anyway, you know how he looks! Youve got his picture! :)

What happened to you? No new photos for so long. Now that I have just dropped out of law school (and almost everybody thinks I'm out of my mind for doing so), a good inspiration to keep me sane and on track will really be of great help. :) Hope to see some soon.

@Boogle: been traveling all over the philippines since november... it all started with banaue. just watch out for new photos. :-) and, btw, you ARE out of your mind for dropping out of law school when you're almost at the finish line. what's up with that?
Boogle from Philippines
Whats up with that? Um, honestly, i still have no plausible answer. All i know is that it was turning me into something i didnt like. May be thats what they call midlife crisis at 35. HA! Oh well...

@Boogle: ah... well, i think i'm familiar with the feeling. the only difference being i can still call mine a quarter-life crisis. ;-)
