Easy to meet new people, hard to make real friends.
I have one whose camera, wallet and cell phone is on the same table as my laptop in his room which at this time consists of only one human being. And tomorrow his house keys shall be kept with me.
Trust that involves vulnerability, only a true friend can give.
My friend is willing to take care of me in the midst of my vacation and his examination.
Make a call and he drives 15 minutes away from the house to pick me up, I say he'd do the same if I were an hour away.
So much more to state and elaborate should I wish to continue.
Words cannot describe how blessed it is to have a friend so kind.

Just read this on Yahoo! News five minutes ago- Philippine dad convicted of rape gets 14400 years.
Amused by the headlines, at first I laughed at the 14400-year jail sentence. Then I began to read on and I stopped laughing. Who would rape his own flesh and blood, daily?! My heart goes out to the girl and my fist would like to meet the man whose conscience must have been on holiday.
I remember reading about child abuse two months back. Also responded by sharing it here on this blog.
Wish I could and can do more than just lamenting, I would do more.
Children deserve to be loved, not abused.
Abuse can be in different forms: Verbal, sexual, physical, emotional, etc.
If you aren't ready to be a parent, think twice about having children.

Why do such a wicked thing to his own daughter when she was only 13?

Why?

You See a Star
You see a star
shining brightly in the night
it starts to fall
bringing darkness to your day
You take my hand
promise I might one day fly
I take your word
trusting you to lead my feet
Your wings are high
shade my head from drops of rain
due to fly
open me to hurricane
You choose your way
leave me wait from day to day
from me away
I alone in sorrow sway
Lo your return
timid I wordless in your sight
your leave is nigh
will I dare to say goodbye?
You see a star
shining brightly in the night
it starts to fall
bringing darkness to your day

Photo editting
As we move from film to flash memory, people can now do more with their photographs. However I miss the days where nothing needs to be done, or can be done besides taking your picture then send the film to your camera shop to develop the photographs. Whatever captured cannot be undone so you have to snap wisely because these things cost money!
Anyway now we use digital cameras and load whatever taken into the computer and can begin to go through the pictures.
Photo editting can be fun, though sometimes I tend to wonder "Isn't this like tantamount to cheating?"
Well to me, having photos in digital format is a blessing as I now have lots of room for error thanks to the ability to delete unwanted pictures. Thus am able to make mistakes and try to learn from them.
Besides that, editting can create effects that give your photos a totally different feel!
I am not even worthy to be considered beginner, whoever's willing to teach; I'm willing to learn.
Before and after, you tell the difference.
