Behind this portrait represents a mariners’ life. A sailor travels around the globe and meet different cultures and women. He has with him that piece of ring; searching for an accurate finger of a lady, supposed to be his lifetime partner. Fortunately, from thousands of roses, he met a single star that shines perfectly bright and brought her finally to the altar and swore each other in union for better or for worst, richer or poorer, sickness and health, till death they as part.
Love as I see it was like the stars, there were billions of them, but only one will shines bright and make your dreams come true. And that was how my father found his shooting star.
This is my entry to “Love as I see it”. A project of www.islandrose.net flowers Philippines.

It was always a beautiful sunny day and it’s time to relax and enjoy myself at this terrific place called park. I took a seat on that wooden bench for a couple of times. It’s cool while you are sitting there and take some time to look at those flowers and birds feeding off things grown in the garden. Yeah, it’s really relaxing and it can even change your emotional state. When I’m in the parks or gardens, it means I’m close to nature and plants and in my own experienced they gave me a peaceful feeling. That’s why, I’m dreaming of someday I’ll be having my own beautiful garden of flowers, vegetables, herbs and other medicinal plants. I want gardening to be a daily part of my life with that wooden bench I’m happy to sit with my husband and little tykes…
My husband Mark and I were doing some photographic skills and few techniques before. We miss that hobby for quite some time. Then one day, while browsing on the internet, I stumbled upon a website with an ongoing contest. The theme is all about love and the winner will get a whooping USD2,300+. It was interesting so it brought us to do some photographs again. Although we didn’t came up with the best photo with the right theme they required, we are happily satisfied with some of the photos we had taken while strolling some of the well-known places in Metro Manila. Some of the photos above were taken at Harbour Square Bay Area of CCP Complex; and the beautiful night street lights of SM Mall of Asia.
