calm

i find a sense of calm watching ducks paddling in a pond. the ripples they create in the water provide much needed serenity amid the noise and haste of this fast-paced world. sometimes, it is easy for us to forget that our souls get weary...and sometimes, all it takes is a couple of dancing ducks to splash and create ripples to mend our broken hearts, renew our worn-out spirits, refresh our vexatious minds or to simply just entertain us.


Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling the dickens underneath. -Michael Caine

hi cinds. thanks again for dropping by. i purposely decided to stay away from blogging for a while because it takes a lot of my time. i felt guilty. i wanted to make more time for my kids and also catch up on a million household chores.

great entry keth! indeed--sometimes we just need something simple to give us our much needed peace and relaxation.

love the pictures too--especially the second one with the mom duck and her little ducklings. Very cute!!!

hi jops, thanks as always. you are difficult to keep track. you're always up to something. i just even figured out your "side stories". i will read them soon. i'm just really short with time, in my effort not to deprive my kids of my precious hours. but i'm always checking your site though.

thanks mai. i feel so honored that you dropped by here. it is more than enough for me that you don't mind me "stalking" your blog. you share a lot of your know-how, and that is truly great.

very lovely photos, keth. i love water...calm and clear, ripples, current, waves, etc.

keth dear, got myself a canon dslr (same as your starter kit)...FINALLY! the salesman recommended it to me kay cheaper daw ang lenses if i want to explore the possibilities. i've had it for a couple weeks but got stuck with auto shooting...sige lang tira! don't know when i could start my own photo blog...maulaw nako kay maayo na kaayo mo!

The Blogger

i love the beach. i talk a lot. i love to write. i don't necessarily make sense though. i take lots of photographs. i'm not good, but i love it. it gives me a sense of joy capturing moments that otherwise would just have slipped by. i sing, much to my family's chagrin. i love scrapbooking, but don't have the time. as a child, i chased after dragonflies, climbed mango trees and even coconut trees, and fell in love with the fireflies in my lola's hometown of bohol. i love cebu. it will always be home. i adore my beautiful kids. i am married to my bestfriend. and i am so blessed with their love.
