goodbye 28, hello 29

noreply@blogger.com (acubepixel) — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:06:00 +0000

wow! look at how time flies so fast!
i wonder what's in store for me at 29...

during my 28,
at these times, i was in a hospital.
not that my mom gave birth to me again.
but i with the whole family was nursing mom.
though she wasn't in an intensive care,
but her life was critical that she almost
left my family and me at 28.

few days after she was discharged from the hospital,
my father, my niece and her mother met a car accident.
went to the site with my sister very early in the morning.
the cab was
good thing was my dad was okay.
he was hugging my bloody niece.
my niece's mom was at the road side,
rescued by the 911.
that was the very first time i took a 911 ambulance.
spent the whole day at the hospital,
shaking while trying to give help.
my sister was crying asnd asked me
why is it happening one after the other.

after few months,
my future was put to risk.
threats were mouthed at me.
body was deteriorating,
lots of illnesses visiting me.
mind was bothered.
fears went gone and anger came in.
i felt pain inside my heart.
criticism came in and out of my ears.

i was just thankful.
despite of everything,
i was able to manage my emotions.
and things went back to its place.

and now,
i am bidding goodbye to the bitterness of 28.

i started the year right with my family,
in preparation to welcome my 29.

hello 29!

Welcome Every Morning with a SMILE

Welcome Every Morning with a SMILE, originally uploaded by © dabawenya © (flickr world, i'm back!.... hopef.

Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.”

Flight of the Nocturnal Mammal

Flight of the Nocturnal Mammal, originally uploaded by © dabawenya © (flickr world, i'm back!.... hopef.

Kuya Roe, Ate Ca and I went to the IGACOS Bat Cave last Sunday for a shoot. 'lemme share one of the few shots I have.

Info from WIKIPEDIA:

Bats are mammals in the order Chiroptera (pronounced /kaɪˈrɒptərə/). The forelimbs of all bats are developed as wings, making them the only mammals naturally capable of sustained flight (other mammals, such as flying squirrels, gliding possums and colugos, can only glide for limited distances). The word Chiroptera comes from the Greek words cheir (χειρ) "hand" and pteron (πτερον) "wing," as the structure of the open wing is very similar to an outspread human hand with a membrane (patagium) between the fingers that also stretches between hand and body.

A measure of the success of bats is their estimated total of about 1,100 species worldwide, accounting for about 20 percent of all mammal species.[2] About 70 percent of bats are insectivores. Most of the rest are frugivores, with a few species being carnivorous. Bats are present throughout most of the world. Bats perform a vital ecological role by pollinating flowers, and also serve an important role in seed dispersal. Many tropical plants are entirely dependent on bats.

Bats range in size from Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat measuring 29–33 mm (1.14–1.30 in) in length and 2 g (0.07 oz) in mass,[3] to the Giant golden-crowned flying fox which has a wing span of 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) and weighs approximately 1.2 kg (3 lb).

Color My World, originally uploaded by © dabawenya © (flickr break....).

to my frequent visitors (if there are), sorry for not posting photos the past days. i had really been busy for a while that i could no longer take photos and visit y digital dark room.

Simple Yet Happy

Simple Yet Happy, originally uploaded by © dabawenya © (flickr break....).

I was bored one Sunday and I thought about going somewhere alone. I went to Magsaysay park just to spend time with myself.

I spotted these kids playing near their home. Look at them. They live a simple life yet they're happy.

Why can't everybody be like these kids?

I never dreamed of being someone...
I never dreamed of being rich....
As long as I can do what I want...
No matter how simple my way of living is....
As long as I live a normal life....
That's enough.... I'd be happy....
Just like these kids...
Hakuna Matata....

I went home with lots of realizations on how lucky I am now...
I live simply...
I am free and I am Happy... :)

Photographer's Golden Hour

Photographer's Golden Hour, originally uploaded by © dabawenya © (magiging busy na ulit....).

Sunrise offered a very beautiful spectacle; the water was quite unruffled, but the motion communicated by the tides was so great that, although there was not a breath of air stirring, the sea heaved slowly with a grand and majestic motion.

Hawksbill Turtle

noreply@blogger.com (acubepixel) — Sun, 31 May 2009 15:08:00 +0000

Common Name

Hawksbill turtle;
Tortue caret, Tortue imbriquée, Tortue à bec faucon, Tortue à écailles (Fr);
Tortuga carey (Sp)

Scientific Name

Eretmochelys imbricata

Like other marine turtles, hawksbills are threatened by the loss of nesting and feeding habitats, excessive egg-collection, fishery-related mortality, pollution, and coastal development. Despite their protection under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), as well as under many national laws, there is still a disturbingly large amount of trade in hawksbills products, and this probably constitutes the major threat to the species.
