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, suppose to be his lifetime partner. Fortunately, from thousand 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.

My husband Mark and I were doing some photographic skills and few techniques before and we missed 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 for us 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 below were taken at Harbour Square Bay Area of CCP Complex; and the beautiful night street lights of SM Mall of Asia.
In life, there are times you would feel so emotional and passionate of something. You have lots of ideas in mind, dreams, and memories. Every time I miss something, I’m always trying to open my database of pictures. I have lots of hard disks and external hard drives which mainly collection of movies. Aside from this, it takes a bit longer to load the huge collection of photos. And then right after I found them, I look at them thoroughly. I learn to appreciate and love more the things that interest me. Sometimes there are photos that brought tears to my eyes, sometimes it’s sad, and yet beautiful. Oh, how I miss taking photographs?
