dahil sa sobrang boredome, inip at pagsosolo sa apartment, walang ibang pumasok sa isip ko kundi magvideo video at magkanta kantahan ala singer talag with feelings and emotion... hahahha... natutuwa ko sa sarili ko dito.. am pangit ng boses ko, ang dilim ng video at di maganda ang ansa video...
wala lang... share ko lang kasi minsan pala talaga umaabot tau sa point na di natin alam we are exceeding our limits.. hahah
Life is a combination of funny experiences, tearful yesterdays,happy memories and crossing fingers for the coming future. Life is not just a mere existence in this world but rather something that we need to fill. Life is everything that we perceive, smell, taste, feel and hear.

The Eminem Show
I am in the office and left with nothing to do but watch my pc monitors for some changes with the staffing and the queue (the usual task we do everyday at work). To kill boredom, i sneak some internet browsers and have it minimize for perfect viewing without IT knowing that we are opening sites out of our work range. and here goes slacking 101 lesson 1: the headset technique.
I usually open youtube.com and pick up songs that i could watch and listen to while boredom is trying to occupy my life. On this day, i picked Eminem songs and stopped on this video called "When I'm gone". This is not the first time i watched this video but i was able to see the message clearly just this day.
Eminem was known for explicit words on his songs but thats his way. ON this song and video that i have watched, i don't know why some tears are starting to pop out from my eyes.

Its the part when his child tried to stopped him on leaving that day. And its the part wherein confrontation between him and his daughter was shown during his performance. Those were the aprts where i was able to see pain thus explains the tear about to come out from my eyes.
Its just as simple as stay with us even just for a day. Make us happy for once. Thats what Hailey's trying to reach out but Shady's fame has blinded him and have him thinking more of the outside world rather than the importance of his family.
I am not that big fan of Eminem but sometimes i understand artist like him. They have the angst of telling everybody their personal experience in a different view. Sometimes his way has proved something right for him. His words could kill an empty emotion. He may be judge for his unworthy music(as others would say) but i guess he has touch my feelings through this song.

Differences between poor and rich.. terminologies 101
Well. i just wanna share this.. i know this has been passed for almost billions of Filipinos worldwide.. Nakakatawa pa din kasi..

A look back on the "Major, Major question" : What can i say...
Its is just a simple question but everybody would crave for a fit answer even those intelligent people all over the world. The questions was "What was the biggest mistake you have made in your life and what did you do to make it right?" (thrown by Judge No. 2 William Baldwin to Miss Philippines Candidate for Mss UNiverse 2010 Miss Venus Raj.
As days have passed, this question has been a phenomenon after MIss Philippines was able to gave a vague answer. Wat would your answer be?
As seen on the news, not just the local news we have but worldwide, some people have made great comments , both postive and negative, on the answer that she throw. Well, i respect her answer as much s i respect how people reacted on it. It is Venus Raj who was asked and she has the right to gave her own idea and whatever that has pushed her to continue with that answer.
Believing in the fact tht everybody commit mistakes, in some point the discriminators may have got a shot why they throw out comments. Nobody's perfect and everyone has their own hidden agenda.
For someone like Miss Raj, it might have been an insult for her answer to be talked about, laughed about and joke around about. Knowing the feeling of being on a live audience with only people who knew clapping for you, she might have been on an adrenaline rush to easily answer the question that way and those words. It was not easy for her to think an -on-the-spot answer for this vague question, so i say.
If i was asked that big question, i would say nothing too. It was a time bounded quick interview thus thinking about your previous mistakes would take about a day to write it down and thinking about the biggest mistake is not easy to be spoken out. Honesty is not the answer for this question and this question does not deserve a very honest answer especially if you are not given an enough time to answer and think about it.
It might have been a failure in one point. A failure because Miss Raj is picturing out herself as a perfect person that has not commit a big mistake. A downfall as to what others would call her hypocrite. That's a fact. But, Miss Raj has just shared her own point of view about the question.
try to put yourself in MIss Raj place. try to answer that question. Do you think you can come up with a good answer? DO you think your brain would surpass Geroge BUsh' or Barack Obama's brains? Do you think you can answer it perfectly without even lying?
Its a disgrace for people who judge some other people on mistakes. In this case, Miss Raj was judge by the way she answered the question not by the way he poised to compete representing the Philippines and end up the 4th runner up.
Some Filipinos were disappointed rather proud of being the fourth of the countries in the universe who have the beauty of a woman.
Pathetic but true.
Miss Raj, our pride is still with you (not counting those who despise you when you throw out an answer as such: "IN your 22 years of existence, you never have committed any major problem because you are confident about your families love and upbringing." It is enough for me to hear that. It is an honest answer.
P.S.
Miss Raj, your fellow Filipino may have think now what was your biggest mistake. Don't be surprise when they are trying to pull you down. Its a fact that every Filipinos are not contented with everything.
An Early Christmas Run-Down
As a Filipino, i always have my own belief about Christmas. Everyday is Christmas and should be felt by everyone. Christmas is about love and sharing, forgiving and forgetting as they say. Yes! I agree with this generic meaning of Christmas.
I'm most happy if i can celebrate or have seen Christmas once a year co'z it means I have been blessed. My life was blessed my God and he is giving me another year to spend my life in this world. That's what I always pray on the eve of Christmas. I would always thank Him for giving me another year.
Well, here in the Philippines I would rather say Christmas is celebrated the whole year round. Houses are still gaily decorated by Christmas lights even on a hot summer night or. Some does still have Christmas trees with those tiny sparkling lights at night reflecting in the shiny-christmas balls hanging by the tree. And that's why i call it Christmas the whole year round.
As of this writing, there are 119 days left before the 25th of December. One hundred nineteen reasons to why people are starting to save, to think about the big holiday and plan for vacation on Christmas. Well, atleast all people can prepare starting today.
As the month of September comes. it's customary to some radio stations that they can play Christmas songs. To some department stores, pre-christmas sales are offered. For TV stations, start planning for Christmas themed programs and to the people in the Philippines, some are starting to clean up the entire house, repaint the walls, change the curtains and sofa covers etc etc etc. Here in the Philippines its always early to celebrate Christmas. There is nothing bad about it though. Unless you are dressing up your house with some snow themed decorations. Snow ain't a climate for the Filipinos.
I have always considered Christmas starts here in September and I would like to say i like this idea co'z i am starting to feel the essence of the yuletide season. Reunions, food, parties, gifts. All sinks in whenever September is around (for me). Luckily, i will be able to celebrate it this year with my family after 3 long years of spending it alone. It has been a blue christmas for me. Imagine yourself thinking about your family spending it with laughter and you are working on the eve trying to pacicy screaming customers and irate people. its a pretty tera-jerker scene i know. I haven't cope with it yet that is why I am so happy that for this year i will be able to celebrate it with my Mom and my siblings along with visiting my father on his grave.
Pretty early to think about christmas. I know that i am to advance but i can't kept the happiness of those days that would come. I am looking forward for December and step to the plane and go home for Christmas.
I already wrote down my Christmas list and prepared some CDs to play during the holiday.
Ahhhh... whatever comes along the way i am all prepared for Christmas to come.
I will be posting more about on my 100 days to Christmas countdown blogs.

Another Downfall for the Philippines
The Manila Bus Hostage drama has been one hot shot these days. It’s a talk around the corner. I hear people from the grocery store, friends who are taking their lunch, by-standers sitting on benches outside store and even children. The hostage was another milestone in Philippines history as this has paved way for critics to see Philippines on a downfall time again.
I never saw the video or never witnessed the drama on TV coz I was way busy escaping from reality as my soul wanders on the world of dreams. The next day, there goes the big bang. I tend not to ask about it coz I cannot say something about that chaotic scenario on the 23 of August.
As I wander into the virtual world, post on hostage drama is still rampant, thus, curiosity killed me so I started asking questions. Not just watching some replayed footage on www.youtube.com, I browse the news network in the internet for me to be “in”. Few people blame the police, some people blame someone. Different interpretations, different ideas and ending up in one conclusion which all the Filipino, including those who were not on the scene, were ridiculed.
I could have had an idea about it if I watch it live but I was not able to. I could have said my part whenever my friends would talk about it but my mouth is always zipped. I was to blind about the commotion.
Then goes the news on TV still tackling about the hostage drama. I started digging some info for me to really see what was it about, who is to blame and I want to know if it was a failure of the man in uniforms, our police team.
Well, after a day I was able to conclude things and realize that because of this our country is again in the scrutiny of the whole world and not just Hongkong. I respect those every individual’s ideas. I respect how they react especially the Hongkong nationals. It was such a pain in their hearts coz their fellow nationals, innocent and just looking for time to relax in our beautiful country, were part of it and life ended unexpectedly. But, because of this many things was affected.
Firstly, I pity those Filipino domestic helpers who were kicked from their jobs due to this. As the news says, millions of our fellowmen working in Hongkong is in crisis for unemployment after this tragedy. I wanna cry upon seeing them in their situations. I want to hug and console them just to let them show that we Filipinos (especially the innocent Filipinos) are caring for them in this time of crisis. I want to protect them and gave them what they need, IF ONLY I CAN. It’s another milestone for Philippine unemployment rate.
Second, expect that tourism in the Philippines well surely hit a low spot for a period of time just because of this. Although there have been any other races trying to consoles us, majority sees us, our country, as an unsafe ground to set their foot to. We do have nice and beautiful places here, scenic views and warm beaches ready to hug all the visitors from all over the world. But, in the meantime expect that we will not gain that much visitors for at least a short period of time and this means another deflation with our economic status.
Third, what happens to other Filipinos who would by then is generally termed as hostage takers? Of course, we will again taste the bitter words from our neighboring islands. A day after the drama, technology has been the way of our discriminators to post what they wanted to dub us. Expect the fact that they will consider us killers and life stealers. A one man’s act, affecting the whole nation.
I salute the youngster who sent out the letter of apology to the world as he knows that as a young individual and a Filipino, he is part of those who will be discriminated and scrutinized. Yes, he is right on what he said. NOT ALL FILIPINOS are the same. One man may have made a mistake but it doesn’t mean it applies to everybody. This chaos has not happened only happened here in the Philippines . There are those other countries who has experienced more than this. In behalf of the Filipino nation, to the whole world, accept our apology. Our brother has committed a mistake. We witness how it happens but if only we could do something about it to save the lives of the Chinese people then we will do. It is our pride to stand up in behalf of the hostage taker to ask for forgiveness. One man’s fault will be equaled with a billion sorry just to prove to the world that we are not born to kill. We are not obliged to live such a low-life and hostage people. We are also victims. Our sympathy lies with all of you.
Lastly, I would not consider this as another turning point four our nation because this is not just the first time when the world has turned its eyes to all of us. A lot had happened before and more frenzied than. This is just a story of downfall of which every country will experience as well.
Poetic Side
The Trail of Love
[Burikso-San]
Bound are those times when we hold each other near
It’s a feeling of contentment
It’s a feeling of delight
When it’s precious and few but so warm and so true
With love in our eyes so pure without blue
That’s how we did it
We are lover’s though precious and few
Moments by moments we travel the road of love
The happiness of our hearts would fly above
Moments of laughter
Moments of joys and cheer
And those moments we have were paid so sincere
The dreams that we share so wild but so clear
It’s all so romantic
My heart would scream with no tears
Follow me through this wonderful trail of living
Just hold my hand together we’ll fly and dive and sing
With you beside me it’s no night
And touching you seem so up bright
Just sing with me with those melodies of love
And soar the sky, reach those farthest stars above
Its loving you, loving you
Have made this journey last.
Out of The Blue I was humming a melody and came up with this brief poem of love.
Corny ko.

Start 9:45 – End 10:28 (Manila Time)
Will Smith: what an actor!
its kind of awkward for a straighta ctor to cry on movies though its always a pleasure for us seeing hem playing their roles as what it should be. Sometimes, most of those actors are best know for being one of a kind coz he can do all genres of movies namely comedy. love story, action, fantasy, sci-fi, suspense, thriller and the likes. For an actor playing this roles, it a fulfillment for his career. Lets say 4 out of 10 actors are versatile, meaning, they can always go on with any genres. Most of them are just sticking to their kind of flicks.
For someone like Will Smith, crying seems so natural when he plays a certain role. I have saw his action movies and all i can say is that, drama has shown his other side as an actor. He suited perfectly as a tax collector and as a salesman. I am talking about this 2 movies that i would really say and proud to open up that i have cried while watching these 2 movies.
If i would scale the movie from 1 to 10 and ten as the highest, i would say both movies are on the perfect 10 when it comes to the story, the acting and the characters. Both of this movies deserve some standing ovation and should be known to all men. Sometimes, we feel like this movies are just for past times but no! For this type of movies lies the reality about life that we need to see.
These movies tells a reality that we should be able to consider as we walk in this world. You might not have the courage and the patience of Chris Gardner or you might not be the same as Tim Thomas but atleast you know that there are always reasons existing in this world. It is hidden. There rae no clues coz life is like a puzzle that you need to solve in order to get the answer.
Should you have time to watch these movies, i would say please do so. It might not be your type of genre but giving it a chance will not change anything. The movie just wanted to share something about what we can relate to.
till next post.

Man In Uniforms: synonymous with "BRUTALITY"
I have just watch this post in Facebook and this really made my day. PLease watch the Video.
I mean, I have been in an initiation for a fraternity but I have never been treated this way. Yes, i was physically initiated but seeing this video seems like I wanna go down to the heads and have this reported, if only i can have them arrest these individuals and be punished.
This has brought a stain on the men in uniforms in all offices. I know i have heard a lot about this situations. Trainees are being treated unfairly and sadistically. But, this is far different from what i have heard. This is my first time watching an actual video footage. I can never swallow what they are doing. Its so inhuman and if only the families of the victims would see this, i know it would torn their hearts.
If this is a part of the training then i would say this aint a good example of applying some punishment to some trainees. THIS IS SO INHUMAN!
As much as i would like to make this lines so clean and clear but allow me to say some words that may be unusual for you to hear from me: " Fuck this people who never treated this individuals as they should be treated. Fuck PMI. Fuck the PMI trainings and Fuck is all they deserve.
Thats all.

Of remembering the past.: Carol Leyson
9:30PM I received an SMS from a number registered as unknown in my phone. When i opened and read the message, it was from a friend, a sister (in Greek Letters Organization) that i haven't seen since i stopped college. To my surprise and amazement, i dialled and called the number and was really happy to hear Carol Leyson on the other line.
We talked for more than 30 minutes. I did not even think of how much credit will it cost me for my phone load. I just so miss this girl. I considered her one of my confidante. She was a very true friend and we both consider ourselves as more than mere friends but siblings.
Then goes the past that we both reminisce. We are college classmates. She came from another province and only renting a place to stay near the University we go to. I can still remember those times when we are short with our allowances that we only cook instant noodles and add some "malunggay" leaf. Imagine how would it taste if you try it. Aside from that, most of the times i woke them up to take a bath early in the morning and since their door was locked, i need to shout and scream their names for 5 times before they would wake up and see me at the door.
Well, those were the years. I missed them and I mean it. We both celebrated independence (from not beeing with the family) during those times. We use to party at a nearby karaoke bar and sing a lot (we are both frustrated singers). And, i never can forget those times when Carol is not paying attention in our COMPUTER LAB subject instead she take some naps under the table. What a humor when our professor found out here tactics.
I just then realize, after we converse, i have been here in Manila for quiet a while now. Three (3) years, 1 month and 4 days. Wow! How time flies fast. The last time i saw Carol was during the senior years enrollment where in i have to drop out due to some financial unstability.
Anyways, i learned a lot from those times. I learned from Carol especially about speaking your mind and letting people see what you wnt them to see, hear what you want them to hear and feel what you wnt them to feel. We both are members of ANAKBAYAN during those times but i did not continue my participation as i have a lot of organizationz to attend. It was fulfiiling though to see her continue her membership with the organization. Carol is the type of a lady who is argumentative especially when she knows that she is right. She always stands up whenever she has something to say and prove to people that there people like hear who wants to make a difference.
We are planning to have a get together party by December when i ahve my vacation. and, by then i know i will be happy to see them again and might be inviting them to step their feet in Manila nd try to look for a new job here.
Shoe-a-holic Mode
I happen to browse this brochure and I was really thinking what to pick in these 5 picks i have in mind.
Blizzard: i just like the color and style and i guess i can wear this with any shirt i like. And, i never have a shoes like this before so i wanna give it a try. |
Craig: It has always been my wish to have a brown shoes like this but everytime i tried to check in Shoe Store's i just can't seem to see a style i like but this. |
Nevis: See how the style is. Thats all i love about this shoes. |
Outlaw: I don't know but i seem to be fascinated with brown shoes. This is so clean so i picked it too.. |
RIP: just the usual type i buy. |
Oh, i picked them all by the way. LOL. Sooner I will see my feet wearing this shoes. I have it ordered now and by 2 to 3 days from now it will be delivered.
Quality wise, i know these are good. I have been using the same brand for my shoes and lasted for more than a year. A generic for me.

Class of 1998 Agusan National High School
I was just browsing the pages of my Facebook account when i was routed to this page that shows our pictures way abck in high school.
I dont wanna hate this picture coz it reminds me of the yesteryears but seeing my picture in half is not good.. tsk tsk tsk... |
the 2nd page of our yearbook... huhuhuhuh i miss this days of my life. |
this is us currently. see the changes.. |
I miss the high school days. Those were the times when i started to have peers, "barkada", lakwatsa, gimik dito, gimik doon. Though I always end up beaten by my Mom. Uggghhh.. satisfying though.
Most of us are professionals in our own way. Some are married, have kids. SOme stayed single. SOme are not working here in the Philippines and some have stayed at home.
There are people missing in this collage. I tried lookin them up i Facebook but i only got these on my list. Tried to goggle some other else's name to see if there is a picture connected to them but to no avail.
Missed this class. Imagine a section with "Cauliflower" as its class flower and class color is Peach. Well, it goes for the girls. Most in the class were girls so nevertheless.
This is the section where bunch of hard-headed students are in. Few are studious, few are religious and some other few were just bunch of nobody.
Our Adviser then was Miss Susana Liparanon. A great teacher. Excellent educator. I use to be his pet. LOL.
WHere are you guys? MIss you all.

Whut about Life?
Quoted message sent to my mobile: " Life is full of mystery. You will never know what comes next. Surprises and smiles, failures and sorrows but we need to still breath the air every morning we wake up coz life's uncertainty is never predicted." sent by +63915------25
This message has driven my thoughts to think about the vagueness of this thing. I thought positively that life is a never ending journey of ups and downs but you will always end up the one winning the races along the way despite of the competition amongst all men. Its reality when i say that every one loves winning but the truth remains the same. Some other else's took their defeat on the earliest stage of the trail. So goes a wasted life.
I was always taught by my parents to never give up despite the hardness that life brings. Its always rewarding when you see yourself struggling and craving for things and at the end of the rainbow you have the pot of golds in your hands. Setting yourself from the outside commotion and preparing your armor for every battle is worth the life you are living. Then goes the big question that popped out in my mind. What about life?
It maybe vague for someone to think about an answer for the question above. Life is one great gift we have received from God. Without it, we are nothing but tiny particles of dust flown away by the winds from time to time. No exact direction but we will probably cling to a vine, swim in the sea, pour with the rain etc, etc, etc. We are so blessed as we are given air to breath, food to eat, home and shelter, family, friends and the crowd. No matter how you rule your life, no matter how you don't know what's your purpose, life is a fragile element that needs extra care.
We do sometimes feel hopelessness in pursuing some task but in reality this is just some bit of struggles that you need to pass along. Negativity sometimes blind you with what you should do and cuffs your hands so that you won't let go from those unhelpful assessments. In times like this, think about those prisoners who would like to scape from their prison cells just to pursue things that they want to do outside the four corners.Think about those beggars who continue surviving on their own way. YOur mind is clear. That is your edge from these people. WHy not use it in a positive manner.
Through these thoughts, i was able to come up with an idea about life. That there are two types of life living in this world: 1. Motivated Life and 2. Wasted Life.
People who strives for living are blessed as they know that their race is on and they should partake in all the details of the game. They stumble, they fall and they cry hard. They sometimes end up thinking about quitting but whats the purpose of retiring when you are at the climax of it all? Would you not feel sorry for yourself? Would you not be regretful? Motivated people always aim for the goal.. They will never be in a dark room sitting and just waiting for something to happen. They work. They gave out energies. They pay for anything that needs to be paid coz they all know that whatever may happen, rewards are always given for those who have truly shared their efforts.

My friend once told me that whichever you want to consider your life, as a motivated or wasted, as long as you know and you rule it properly, you will end up a champion. I agreed but negated too. I respected her opinion about life but the mere fact that there is always a one way to serve yourself, to serve your life we can never say that hopeless people can win at the end. Perseverance is one key factor to be in this world. Life can never be at its best without perseverance.
One thing for sure, LIFE is full of mystery. YOu will never know what happens next so always be prepared. YOu will never know what's outside your door so allow people to knock. YOu will never know what's there when you wake up in the morning. So if you are still able to open your eyes for a brand new day, thank HIM and ask him to take care of your life the way you take care of it. Everyday, millions of lives surrenders but billions are born to fight. Be one of them. Live life to the fullest.
Adios.

My Annual Physical Exam Results
It has been a month that has past when we took the annua physical exam offered by the company where i work. In this way, we can know what does our body is telling us and I'm glad that i have the results after a month. Well, i already expected the recommendation though.
Been waiting too long to have my Intellicare Card. I have received my first card but i have it changed coz the "Birthday" details were wrong so after months of waiting, i got it yesterday. |
My medical exam results kit. |
Just want to be sure that its mine thus this image. |
Some physical exam results. Notice that i have a problem with my Visual senses thus im wearing eye glasses. And, oh my, at 29 years old in a 51 kg weight (thats too skinny) |
I really need to consult a physician for some weight gaining educational aspects. Uggghhh... Smoking? tried to cease but the crave of it...ugghhhh... disgusting.. |
Oh my... my first ever xray picture handed to me... i'll have it to keep. |
My colleagues told me its normal so i dont have a thing to say about this. |
Well, i guess overall its only weight that has a problem and again and again and again i will be working on it.
You too should always check your health. Its better to know what your body says than to end up regretting.

In My Own Place And Time
Picture courtesy of Rachel Bray..poem made by me. |
I wonder what people may think and what comes first to their mind when they see this picture. Will they say just a usual bench along the sea borders? Or just a picture taken to commemorate something special that had happened on this part of the world? Or will there be other conotations that people might think about the picture?
Lovers of art pieces would see this picture as a symbol of "being alone", isolation, problem. Some others would say this is a picture of beauty, enlightenment and memories.
I see this picture as an example of "troubled mind".
Imagine yourself sitting in front of the beach. Alone. Your mind is in a commotion. Or worst ,tears are sliding down your cheeks.
When you are alone and seems like the world is turning its back on you, you seem to search for a place to burst out your loneliness. We all have our favorite places to hide ourselves from the world. We have definite step-ahead hide outs whenever we are so down and needs a time to ease the trouble we have inside. Thats one fact about living in this world.
I would rather stay in a quiet place and read books whenever i got some mind-boggling thoughts wrapping my life. The silent type who never interferes some other elses times just for a chit chat and just to win the lime-light from everybody. Its no use to utter those issues within you to people who are actually not seeing and feeling it. Thats a hard time explaining. Yes we do get nods of positivity and sympathy. Oftentimes, we hear things from their mouths but accept the fact that those are just plain words that well travel from your left ear and passes through the right ear and will not stay in our mind.
Some people say i am a good listener. Yes I am and i love listening to people. Its one pretty tough job to put yourself in someone elses shoes before giving them the best knowledge you can share after all the tall tale and story telling sessions. Why is it so hard? Coz you need fabrications of positive thoughts with a little of negativity in it. You find it hard how to please someone with your words so you tend to elaborate, give examples and thoroughly putting all those thoughts in someone elses mind but will only end out nothing of it is worthy.
I am a good listener but i dont want other to hear me out so i tend to isolate myself from people whom i know who can share their valued time with me. But i am not that type who wants more sympathy from all my friends. There are people though who i can share those thoughts bugging me and unfortunately there are few in my list.
Why do i tell you this? Its because i just wanna let you know that is okay to be a "man" sometimes. Its okay too isolate yourself sometimes and Its not okay to talk much when nobody is listening. One great lesson to learn about life is to be being you. Remember that when you came in this world, a lot of people was happy enough to see you but as you take your journey, you will stand on your own feet. They are just some people who will guide you and will lead you to the right way but still it is you who choose your path. We are actually just walking with our two bare feet. We are not destined to walk with some other else's feet.
For times like you wanna go alone for about a day or two, i know you have your first option to go. I have a place that i call my own. And it's kept for years now. Nobody has been there, nobody has ever suspect this place and nobody can be there coz its locked with a key only my heart and mind can open. Picture the image above. It is just a replica of what my palce look like. A place with peace, calm and soothing mood. A place that i can really rejuvenate and put away hard thoughs bugging me.
Now pick your special place.
Now pick your special place.
