It’s been a rather long day and I seem to be in Argentinian Time Zone still. I shall call it a day now..

Just Another Day
Just Another Day Was today just another day in the land of enchantment? Sometimes I try to find an answer in the sky. I try to decode the message that clouds intend to convey. The answer is never conclusive, but it always offers a degree of possibility, of hope..

Almost Home
Almost Home Captured on our flight approaching Albuquerque this morning. There’s so much on my mind this trip going back home. It’s hard to explain how I felt while this landscape that I’m getting so familiar with moving underneath us, taking us closer and closer to home..

The Greatest Magician
The Greatest Magician Ten minutes before I captured this image, the sky was almost gray even though there was a thin orange glow on the horizon. I was prepared to lower the blinds and accept that it was the end of the scene. Apparently it was a trick performed by the greatest magician. How could this be possible? I was stunned by this dramatic transformation..

Pending Project
Pending Project This latilla was from the leftover material for our back porch. I painted it white and intended to add more colors to it. Somehow I just cannot make up my mind what I should do with it. Any suggestions?

Another Unproductive Day
Another Unproductive Day We stayed in this morning for we were expecting our gardener to come at noon. Ten minutes before twelve, I received a text message from him telling me that he couldn’t make it today and asked if tomorrow morning would be okay.
Coincidentally, it started to rain a little bit, which wouldn’t have been ideal for doing garden work. The rain today was totally unexpected. According to the weather forecast we’re supposed to get some rain tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t be around the time when the gardener is here..
The gardener’s postponement today disrupted the rhythm of the remaining day more than I’d thought possible. I could have better organized my time..

Change is Going to Come.
Change is Going to Come. This is the view from our back porch. I could just sit there and take in whatever the nature has to offer. It’s easy to put the world behind, and that’s what I wanted when we decided to leave New York and move to the Land of Enchantment. This world is crazier than ever and so much has happened. Change is going to come, whether we’re ready or not. But this view still puts my mind at ease, and I’m holding on to that tranquility it selflessly continues to offer..

Information Overload
Information Overload Today has been a somewhat strange day. We did all our Sunday routine and yet I felt the whole day has been wasted. I’m having a mild headache while I’m writing this. I think I’d call it a day..

Silent Protest
Silent Protest I knew they are out there. I knew there are plenty of people who feel the same as I do. May that be angry, disappointed, disgusted, pessimistic, heartbroken, helpless or even lost, deep down I’m still holding onto that almost nonexistent sense of hope. I needed reassurance. That’s one reason why I needed to be there, to be part of this peaceful protest, to see the faces of strangers who are exactly on the same boat.
Accidentally, I spotted a familiar face in the crowd. He works at our local hardware store and we’ve only exchanged a few words since we moved here. Suddenly our eyes met and he recognized me. He moved towards me and extended his hand.
“Good to see you here.” I smiled and said to him, while I shook his hand with a firm grip.

What Lies Ahead of Us
What Lies Ahead of Us Life is like a train ride. It is not always going straight or to be a steady journey. It is full of surprises and uncertainties. We can’t always see what’s ahead of us, and we don’t know what’s expecting us after the turn. It may be a bit unsettling, but at the same time it is filled with possibilities.
