Hand and Toons 3

Sharing you more  images from my file.

Here's another encounter between a hand and his works...

(life lessons mixed with humor : ) 

Created just  for fun...

..Let us look forward to a blessed new week!

Alingawngaw...

Alingawngaw is echo in our  language (Tagalog).

Life is an echo. I was reminded again by the podcast I've heard the other night.

Whatever you send out

 always comes back to you...

Whatever you say and believe
will manifest in our reality, sooner or later.

We should  be aware of our thought patterns and  choice of words

 We shouldn't act against ourselves. 

We shouldn't beat ourselves up.

Try to approve and be kind (to self) by speaking
 the words that would uplift our hearts and spirits.

Let us remember...

Passing...

Been busy with work lately.... 

but last weekend, I was able to create few graphics for this blog...

Let the images do some talking :)

People, things and events  are merely passing ...

(or fading away...)

Nevertheless we should be grateful 

for the given opportunities...

Be happy..for we deserve it...

Perhaps we should always be reminded of 

 St. Teresa's (of Avila) rephrased prayer:... 

Hand and Toons (Again...)

 I thought of compiling some old graphic works today.... 

What if they could talk? I mean the drawings  created by their designers. I bet they would react and talk to their creators immediately.

Inspired by some animated films I’ve seen in the past, here are some talking toons : )

And here’s the most famous animal

in the country today . . . (just kidding! )

Looking Down

I created this simple comics based on a talk I've heard the other day....

Isn’t he ridiculous?  I guess....

Anyway, some people might think and act just like him. (I'm guilty, sometimes) ...

Glad to find something valuable along the way...

and overjoyed after getting more the next day....

And then on succeeding days, we're expecting ‘luck’ to happen again and again. Sometimes   even frustrated whenever we find nothing.

What makes the situation worse is the fact that  some people are getting accustomed to look down while going through life’s highway and unaware of  other good things around.

I remember a message from one unknown author, 

let me share via this graphic:

I Love Mornings!

It feels so good to see the sun after the rainy days.

 I love the sunrise and so I thought of taking some pictures today!

I’ve also  included  one  edited personal write-up which was originally posted at Bubblews.

I love mornings!

I love its quietness, its freshness.

I admire the brightness of the sky and the warmth of the sun.

I like the sounds of the chirping birds and the  whisper of the wind.

I like the peace within.

If only I could ask the Lord to trade my evenings with the mornings 

of those who would prefer to sleep till noon.

But no, perhaps God  wouldn’t allow me.

Because without the affliction brought by life’s dark moments, 

I wouldn’t be able to appreciate the radiance of each morning.

Life's Like That! 3

Here’s the last part of the trilogy (lol). Just like the first and second parts, the message is quite the same. Life has to go on, no matter what. Sometimes we’re up, sometimes we’re down but we have to look at the brighter side. Though sometimes it is easier said than done. This post is also my way of welcoming the yuletide season. (dahil maaga talaga ang Pasko sa Pinas!)

Advance Merry Christmas!

S.T.O.R.M. Defined

Typhoon Ofel just passed us by. She’s not as destructive compared to other typhoons before (just a personal assessment). And I am grateful for that. I woke up early this morning and took some photos. Still the water is all around our backyard but it has subsided. Thanks God!

Yesterday, in the midst of the storm, I’ve decided to gather storm-related quotes and then created an acronym.

S - Stay strong, focus on what you can do, not what you cannot, and know that the clouds will soon part, and the sun will return again. ~Doe Zantamata

T - Typhoons will come and go. But the real storm is in your mind. Dispel the storms in your mind. It maybe stormy on the outside but it shouldn’t be stormy on the inside. ~Bo Sanchez

O - Out of defeat can come the best in human nature. As Christians face storms of adversity, they may rise with more beauty. They are like trees that grow on mountain ridges - battered by winds, yet trees in which we find the strongest wood. ~Billy Graham

R - Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life. ~John Updike

M - May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you and all your heart might desire.~Irish Blessings

And I always remind myself to “Hold on. Things will get better.

It maybe stormy now but it can’t rain forever.”

Stormy Weather

“Rain, rain go away…Come again another day…”

If  I could only push away the dark clouds  with that song. The rain hasn’t stopped for several days now. The rivers, dikes and the pathways were already filled with water. The water level alert today has reached the red mark. Perhaps we need to keep our hopes high anyway, it is reassuring to know that it wouldn't rain forever.

“After the rain, the sun will reappear.
There is life. After the pain, the joy will still be here.”  ~Walt Disney Company

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow. ~Gilbert K. Chesterton
