" Have you ever searched for words to get in their heart….but you dont know what to say… and you dont know where to start…."

" Have you finally found the ONE….you’ve given your heart to… only to find that ONE….wont give their heart to you….."

" The worst feeling in the world is loving someone, when they dont love you back….Your heart aches everytime you see him, knowing that no matter how deep you look into their eyes, trying to reach their heart, you never will…."

Banaue Rice Terraces, Philippines

Banaue Rice Terraces (Tagalog- Hagdan Hagdang Palayan) is known to be the "Eighth wonder of the world" and a UNESCO Heritage Site. These terraces were craved into the moutains of Ifugaos by ancestors of Batad indigenous people.

We Filipinos are exteremely proud of these terraces because it showcase Filipino ingenuity and hardwork. These terraces were built largely by hand and minimal equipment.

TRAVEL TIME : Banaue Rice Terraces is located up north of Luzon.
From Sagada, 2-3 hours depending on the road condition

located up north of Luzon. From Manila, it's around 9 hours drive to reach this beautiful place.
Sometimes called the "Eighth Wonder of the World", the Banaue Rice Terraces begin at the base of the mountain range and extend several thousand feet upwards. Two of the terrace clusters in Banaue, namely

Bangaan and Batad, are part of the
Unesco World Heritage inscription. It is said that their length, if put end to end, would encircle half of the globe. Built 2,000 years ago, the rice terraces manifest the engineering skill and ingenuity of the sturdy Ifugaos. They are irrigated by means of mountain streams and springs that have been tapped and channeled into canals that run downhill through the rice terraces.

The rice terraces once stretched northeast to Cagayan and as far south as Quezon. However they are now slowly being abandoned and showing signs of deterioration. A severe 1990 earthquake damaged some of the terraces' irrigation systems, while El Niño triggered droughts that led giant earthworms to erode the terraces' soil. Furthermore, the rice variety most suited to the area's cool climate is not a high-yielding crop; because it takes so long to mature, some Ifugao families have abandoned their land in the rice terraces in favor of land that reaps faster rewards.

An Ifugao Terraces Commission was created in 1994 but has since been superseded by the Banaue Rice Terraces task force, which was closed in 2002.

The camera is a tourist’s best friend. The camera could be the one built within the mobile phone, or it could be any portable camera with either automatic or manual mechanism. What is important is that this wonderful tool can capture moments of the great time you had during your Philippine travel. With this clearly in mind, we explored the famous Banaue Rice Terraces. It is located in a place aptly called Cordillera Mountain Province. The road to it is winding and exhausting. Plunging cliffs are constant views from the bus window. And sitting on a bus seat for hours on end is not the most comfortable experience.

When we finally arrived at the place, we were refreshed by the cold crisp air. The place is mountainous. But the natives, called Ifugaos, found a way to plant crops for their own survival. They carved the sides of the mountains and constructed stairway-like rice fields. Any engineer would be impressed by the ingenuity of the early settlers when they constructed the Banaue rice terraces. In fact, this tourist attraction is considered by many scholars to be the eighth wonder of the world.

In such a historical and marvelous site, the perfect souvenir would be … a photograph with the natives! We spotted some natives working on the terraces, but they are too far, even with the camera’s zoom feature. Luckily, many of them are sitting just outside their huts and watching tourists wandering around and taking pictures of the green Banaue rice terrace valley below. These natives who are lounging around were old men and women. Their faces are marked with lines that only harsh weather conditions can draw. But they were wearing colorful native clothes. Head dresses are made of dyed feathers. Sleeveless blouses that look like vests are embroidered and adorned with beads of all sizes. And g-strings are decorated with attractive colored patterns of squares and lines.

is it over????.....

You,you turned and walked away

I didn't know what to say

I close my eyes to hide
The pain I felt inside
I could never understand
How love went out of hand
And now, there's nothing I can do
You,you turned and walked away
I didn't know what to say
I close my eyes to hide
The pain I felt inside
I could never understand
How love went out of hand
And now, there's nothing I can do

No Ordinary Love.....

This could have been just another day
But instead we're standing here
No need for words it's all been said
In the way you hold me near
I was alone on this journey
You came along to comfort me
Everything I want in life is right here

This is not your ordinary
No ordinary love
I was not prepared enough
To fall so deep in love
This is not your ordinary
No ordinary love
You were the first to touch my heart
And everything right again with your extraordinary love

I get so weak when you look at me
I get lost inside your eyes
Sometimes the magic is hard to believe
But you're here before my very eyes
You brought joy to my world
Set me so free
I want you to understand
You're every breath that I breathe

From the very first time that we kissed
I knew that I just couldn't let you go at all
From this day on, remember this:
That you're the only one that I adore
Can we make this last forever
This can't be a dream
'Cause it feels so good to me

"For all of my life
You are the one, i will love you faithfully forever
All of my life you are the one
I'll give to you my greatest love
For all of my life."

Life is What We Make It...

High in Himalayas lived an old wise man. Occasionally, he treks down into the local village to entertain the people with his special abilities one of which is to tell what object is in a container or what does a person thinks.

A few young boys decided to play a joke on the old man and planned to ridicule him. One of them caught a bird and enclosed it in his grip. The boy knew that the wise man would know what would be in his hands so he would ask if the bird is dead or alive. If the wise man will say the bird is alive, the boy would crush the bird in his hand: if the wise man will say the boy that the bird is dead, the boy would open his hands and let the bird free, no matter what the old man will say, the boy could prove that he is a fraud.

The following week, the wise man came down from the mountain and on to the village. The boy captured a bird and walked up to the old man then asked, " Old man, can you tell what I have in my hand?"
The wise old man said, "You have a bird."
The boy asked again, "Old man, Old man, tell me, is the bird alive or dead?"
The old man looked straight in the boy's eyes and said calmly, "My child, the life of that bird which you now hold is already in your hands as you choose it, and so it is also with your life."

Dear friend, this story shows that the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of your dreams and aspirations in life is in your hands right now.The choice is yours.

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to drew back... There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which skills countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too, and all the sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.... Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!"

" Now is the only time that really matters. Past is past and you cannot do anything to change it. The past is history, the future is a mystery and this moment is a "gift". The point of your power and control is in the present. The choices you would make right now will shape your destiny. You can design your life the way you want it to be. Be 100% present at this moment. The future is right here --- TODAY. It is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour whatever he does, wherever he is."

For my bestfriend...
