From ideas to words.
From words to actions.
From deeds to experience.
From experience to inspiration.
From inspiration to ideas...

If you heard God, would you listen? If you listened, would you have the courage to share? Be heard. Truly.

To be incredibly stupid.
To laugh like there's no tomorrow.
To hear my heart sing.
To watch sunsets.
Am free.

 Does perfection exist?
It's how you are now.
It's your gray hair.
Your saggy breasts.
Your achy back.
It's us.

They said, if you want to be successful, you surround yourself with successful people. Ask. Watch. Understand...then do it.

Filipinos usually don't like eating alone. Meal times are a celebration of family, friendships and relationships. A ritual of connectivity.

There is a soothing comfort in an old familiar smell. The smell of food mingling in the warm breeze. Priceless.

In this Quirino Grandstand hostage-taking situation, who was the abused? Who was the abuser? We weep for those who died.

Sometimes it is more difficult to admit being an abuser than being abused. Society prefers underdogs. Then there's also pride...

If we lived longer... had the courage to commit more mistakes, would we end up wiser? Or feel more foolish?

Gods, deities and creatures. From darkness to dreams to reality. What other entities has man created to justify his existence?

There is a quiet male voice that I miss hearing. It rustles with the afternoon breeze and early dawn stirrings.

We are all equal. We are all one. It's our differences and contradictions that makes us great. Painfully. Lovingly.

People pray to be free from pain. Freedom from pain is a preference. Just as happiness is. It's a decision.

I found a dream I lost when I "grew up". I found it in the pictures I took last weekend.

Hello Papa. How has it been? Today's your birthday. How does it feel to celebrate your birth when you're dead?

I wanted to have a chat with myself. I sat in the darkness and looked up. Stunned at my greatness.

Am learning that one can love in different ways but not in different degrees. It runs deep...  cuts deep. Always.

What happens when I see the truth? It's not the illusions that fall, but the stories we've built through them.

Seems like living a better life means making LOTS of mistakes. Learning from it. The more the meaningful it gets.

I read in the papers that there are 100 million Filipinos now. 100 million bodies. Suddenly my world felt smaller.

There are silences that are more deafening than a scream. The irony of it, is that it draws attention too.

Lost memories. I found them in abundance with fleeting shadows in the last place I visited... before I had them.

For one whole day, my son slept, ate and watched TV till midnight with friends in a separate cottage. Ouch.

I realized how much I love taking pictures when I started shots of our children playing - wanting to remember everything.

It was slow at first. As I went back to drawing, words faded. My world became black and white sketches.

Imagine looking back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned...

Seeking excellence is one thing... never finding anything totally satisfactory is another. At one point one must say "it's finished!"

I stared down at the paper. I have forgotten how it was like to hold a pencil and draw again.

I love taking good photos of special moments. It helps make the fleeting memory of that moment last a lifetime.

Some of the most memorable moments in my life have been moments spent in laughter with friends and family. Priceless!
