Halfway through the book im doin, about Filipino children...i find myself overwhelmed with emotion.

There is a window where the sea is calm, the wind is breezy and the sky is slightly overcast.This is when the summer ends and the violent weather hits the region.

Location: l5°05'N, 120°53'E; near the towns of Candaba, San Miguel and San Ildefonso, 50 km NNW of Metro Manila, Pampanga and Bulacan Provinces, central Luzon. Area: 32,000 ha. Altitude: 11 m. Description of site: A complex of freshwater ponds, swamps and marshes with surrounding areas of seasonally flooded grassland, arable land and palm savanna on a vast alluvial flood plain. The entire area is usually flooded in the wet season, but most of it dries out during the dry season (late November to April) and is converted into rice fields and plantations of water melons. The main area for waterfowl is an impoundment of about 300 ha, with a mixture of open shallow water, small islands, and rafts of floating vegetation, adjacent to the Pampanga River about nine km north of Baliuag. The impoundment is used as a fish pond during the rainy season, and then drained in January ... http://cykd.multiply.com/photos/album/32/Candaba_Swamps Sun, 23 Mar 2008 00:59:01 -0000 i haven't been hanging out with my brods and sis...it's been ages..you see its a totally new ball game when you end up drinking with the jammers...the air is filled with intoxicating vibe ...maybe from the booze or music......who cares...pero buti na lang bday ni Miggy!

The Alcantara family was nice enough to invite me on a road trip to Donsol. : ) Bicol landscape is picturesque, with Mt. Mayon and Mt. Isarog dominating the lanscape it was truly breathtaking. Donsol is a coastal town made famous for the whale shark sightings during the summer. It was a surreal, beautiful and awesome experience swimming with the gentle 'butanding' or whale sharks. I was so moved by the whole experience that I have no pictures of these gentle giants! Ha! Some things are made to be remembered in memory. But there is more to Donsol than the whale sharks. There is a firefly tour. Along the river bank that opens up to the bay, mangrove forests can be found. At night these mangroves light up like Christmas lights! I have never in my life seen so many fireflies, just http://cykd.multiply.com/photos/album/30/Road_trip_to_Donsol_Sorsogon Sat, 15 Mar 2008 07:55:42 -0000 Bonding session with the cousins at Highlands...my models for the day...buwaaahahaha : http://cykd.multiply.com/photos/album/29/The_Great_Tagaytay_Trippin Wed, 20 Feb 2008 12:58:33 -0000 12th hot air balloon show, Clark Air Field,Pampanga was fantastic!

FORUM : INSPIRING FILIPINO INGENUITY The Why Not? Forum (www.whynotforum.com ) is inspired by TEDTalks (www.ted.com ), wherein leading thinkers and doers around the globe share their thoughts, ideas, dreams, and experiences, which are then posted on the web as online videos for all the world to see. We envision The Why Not? Forum to be the Filipino version. The Why Not? Forum is a smorgasboard of great, brave ideas --- an open-source innovation soup that will hopefully inspire other Filipinos to connect adjunct thoughts, take impactful action, and weave together new breakthrough ideas -- redefining and challenging the inertia of the status quo; All in the spirit of positive change for the Philippines. This is NOT your usual forum. It is NOT boring, stiff, nor bland. The spirit of the Why Not? Forum is impassioned, quirky, creative, revolutionary, irreverent, and innovative. As such, the topics of the forum a... http://cykd.multiply.com/video/item/13/whynot.m4v Mon, 21 Jan 2008 04:26:38 -0000 from trips all http://cykd.multiply.com/photos/album/25/RANDOM...
