Light up

Tanjung Aru Beach, Kota Kinabalu. This was earlier this year, with my uncle's family. I didn't communicate much since I don't know most of them. Naturally, I cornered myself under a shady tree and meditated a prayer or two. Looking at the beautiful horizon, makes me feel closer to God. At that point, the point where a new year is taking it's place in my circle of life, it scares me. What if this year would be the worst year of my entire life? What if I can't catch up with what I strive for all these years? What if someone tells me he loves me again? What if I stumble in faith again? What if I don't have the enough potential to be what I wanted to be? What if I am not beautiful enough? What if I am not smart enough? 

Lies. Lies of the world. No more slacking dear...no more.

Thank God too, for the camera Jez left in my hands. I swear, with this technology in my hands, I am super active *click click -smile-

I target kids and always kids - weird but true.

Till today, I had no idea what these are called. Can someone please name them for me? PLeaseee? please please plllease???  They are so pretty-little-things. I even kept one as a sign of friendship between Beverly and I. Aren't we cute? hahaha...

 

 back to shooting kids





For some reason, they make me happy. It's that sense of cheerfulness and happiness that fills my heart when I'm with them, talking or not. These kids don't talk to me. They just stare and smile. and that? that already warms my heart. I feel like a mother already =.=

The beach is a perfect spot to suck in all the air and enjoy being with yourself. Sometimes. that's the element that is missing from our lives. The chance to appreciate God, the chance to be emo with God, the chance to reflect and be thankful, the chance to recharge our spirituality. The chance to be alone. How often does that happen now?

Run, run from the world. If only I can do that....I felt like I am just there siting like a dummy staring at nothing. What has happened to this world God?

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” 

― Ralph Waldo Emerson
