RECREATING HAPPY MOMENTS AT THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN

"Take a moment
out of your timeline to think..
Create clearly. 
Slow down. 
Use thought wisely. 
It is your paintbrush...
in creating your own tapestry."

"To see a world in a grain of sand, 
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
~William Blake



I came back to walk this path.
There were still gladiola wildflowers on the wayside.
The others have already wilted.
 I thought, "Life is short!"
So, I took time to have photo ops with the flowers ☺


I always find joy in God's creation
and all things great and small.
Everyday that I passed them by,
they have looked ordinary.
But they do, in some other way,
always take my breath away.


It is in one's power
to create the happy moments.
Like a mushroom popping out overnight 
in a different form and color,
life's bliss are summoned even in the most unexpected places.



Do not be caught in the web of time,
and get tied up with the intricacies of life.



"Forget about the questions and answers of Life.
If life is a book,
it is meant for you to write your experiences in it.
The beautifully you experience,
the exquisite and long lasting their effects on the readers."
 Vikas Gill


Be happy.
You can only recreate the happy moments
if you make every moment happy ♥


The elusive wild "pinit" berry
gave my childhood the excitement of finding them along the way.
I still feel that rush of happiness
of discovering them.



"Love the moment,
and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries."
~ Corita Kent


Spotting a giant fern gets me thrilled. It makes me smile
"Smile will be complete when it begins with your heart, reflects in your eyes and ends with a glow on your face."



"The healthiest response to life is joy."
~ Deepak Chopra



A spray of wild flowers make me come alive!
There are a thousand reasons in this world to make me smile




Paradise is where I am.
~Voltaire


And thanks to those who sustain the happy times which make those moments worth recreating.

With Richard D. Egmalis




Life is made up of small pleasures.
Happiness is made up of those tiny successes.
The big ones come too infrequently.
And if you don’t collect all these tiny successes,
the big ones don’t really mean anything. 
~ Norman Lear

CULTURAL VIGNETTE : A tale on the Traditional Costume of the Isneg Tribe of Apayao Province in the Philippines

"Most people think Time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. They are wrong. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none that you have ever heard." ~Yuri Lowenthal Long ago, in the northernly end of the Cordillera central mountains, lies a province named Apayao. Here, a mighty river, savagely rough and deep, courses through steep mountain gorges down to the valleys and plains, straight to the Philippine Sea. This river, so blue in the mid-morning sun, is the life force for a tribe in Apayao called ISNEG. The Isnegs lived isolated in these expansive mountains with  stunning scenery, adorned with small hills and steep cliffs along both sides of the river. A labyrinth of valleys and foothills, embraced by tropical forests and Savanna grass, led them to their paradise. To reach this haven, they navigated for hours on personalized bamboo rafts or small boats, then traversed long trails to their homes. The people cherished their l...

SUNSETS & The Little Prince

Sunsets do take my breath away sometimes. They come different each time. What is mesmerizing is when they slowly fade away into the dark night. Like Anais Nin, I look at sunsets and remember The Little Prince in his tiny planet. He is in his own world, teetering at the edge, counting his sunsets... It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. Below are photos of beautiful sunsets.

I left home a bit too early one evening for work so I detoured to the beach. I got rewarded with this scenes ..." Sunsets 02 & 03 by Paz Aptimes, Australia When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator. Mahatma Gandhi
