the best Christmas party ever!

This has some really fine photographs

This year, the school children of Lorenzo Daa Memorial School experienced a Christmas party that’s so different from what they have been used to.  Situated in sitio Paglaum, a remote area 40 kilometers from downtown Tacloban, the school has a population of 200 pupils and students.  Most of these school children had no idea what a party is like for the average city kid until now.

With sweet treats and entertainment filling up the whole day, these kids probably had their best Christmas party ever, courtesy of the Rotary Club of Tacloban.

This might be my last post for the year, so here’s a very Merry Christmas to all of you.  It’s been a long time since I’ve taken family photos and I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

Life was somewhere else

If I go I won’t tell you.
I’ll just disappear one day.
Like when a cigarette ,which seemed so long,
suddenly has become smaller
and you never noticed it
because you were talking
about the meaning of life
while life was somewhere else
blown away with your smoke
into the sky
and then dispersed
never quite visible again
but still floating on the breeze
hoping to be caught
in a butterfly net
but unable to communicate
except by flying.
If I go it will not be today
but it will be an ordinary day
no one will realise
that it’s that day
that the bird flies
from her nest
to go to a new place
only seeing the deserted nest
he realises,
my bird has flown
