Moments of Reflection!
I wrote this poem dedicated in loving memory of my dear Ate Betty Veranga, who sadly succumbed to Covid-19 several weeks ago. The enormity and extent of this Pandemic may seem nothing to some people. Others insisted that this whole thing is a hoax manufactured by the mainstream media. That is why we see some people who are too complacent in their approach. They are even ignoring and discrediting the precautionary measures imposed by their local authorities on how to help curb the further spread of the Corona Virus in their communities. I may blatantly say that until you yourself carry this virus; your family members, friends or loved ones…

Poem #002-21062020
This is my second attempt at writing a poem. Poem #002-21062020 I am sorry if sometimes I’m short tempered, Dealing with somewhat naive and disconnected.

Happy Easter Sunday!
As we reflect and celebrate “Easter Sunday” to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the core essence of Christianity, I would love to share with you a song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither entitled “Because He Lives“. The music on the background is my personal favorite version by Grace Larson. I hope you will like it too. In the midst of these crisis that we are facing right now, remember that Jesus Christ is there for us. Let us believe in Him, entrust our lives in Him, pray harder that we will get through this the soonest. Meanwhile, we do our human best to keep ourselves healthy and…

Bronte Parsonage Museum – Haworth, West Yorkshire, England
WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Brontë and JANE EYE by Charlotte Brontë are just two of the novels that enticed me to someday visit the former Brontë family home, the parsonage situated in Haworth, West Yorkshire, England. It is where the Bronte sisters spent most of their lives and wrote their famous novels. It was such a rewarding experience for me to finally see up close and personal some of their belongings and to learn more about their personal lives. Below is a link to view the compiled photos I took during my visit. For more details about my travels to the United Kingdom, please visit my YouTube channel, and…

Be Still
Woke up late one morning feeling lazy but still managed to have a walk along Dubai Water Canal. Then noticed this, to me was a perfect view, a beautiful reflection on the waters as if I was looking at a painting of a masterpiece created by a Cubist. I love the calmness and the effect of the still water… With the only hope that if only everyone is as calm and relax as this serene view, considering what is happening all around us. Be still everyone. There is still hope. May God bless us all! Psalm 46 a 1God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2Therefore…

City Walk in Dubai
City Walk in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is one of the places that I prefer to visit when I feel like going out for a meal, or to watch a movie as it is not very crowded. It is located in the heart of the city which is just few minutes away from Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall. It is a great place to have a stroll especially at night when the lights are lit. As shown on below photo, the towering Burj Khalifa in the background adds glamour to the skyline. Please watch my short video below about City Walk Dubai, and do not forget to subscribe to my…
