Dream


A dream is a heavy burden to carry
But those persistent enough
will carry their dream to reality!

I've been watching the Winter Olympics and this is just one of the many lessons I've learned from them persistent athletes.

I watch these games not because I know how they're played, not because I know who the athletes are nor am I cheering for any of them.  I watch these games because seeing people celebrate their victories make me so emotional, and hearing their stories--of what they had to go through to get to where they are--is nothing short of inspiring!

Me, too, Liz. I get really inspired by these athletes (or those who have endured much and then succeeded). and their stories always give me hope. :)

Beautiful picture. :)

Thank you Ai! Your twilight and sunset photos are amazing! Ang akoa amateur kaayo, hehehe.

Yeah, it must feel good to be in the podium or be rewarded for hard work. Sometimes I wish athlete sad ko, hehehe...

About This Blog

I got interested in photography when I met my husband. He loved photography since the 80's when he owned a Canon AE1 SLR camera. When we got married, we met a great photographer who inspired me even more. I started taking photos when my husband and I got our DSLR camera back in 2005. I never really shared my photos. But lately, I've been introduced to photoblogging and I saw it to be a great way of expression. My photos are amateur but I hope to learn more as I blog and connect with people.
