I was at the Mayon Resthouse in Tabaco City, Albay and I am very amazed and the view I was seeing was just unbelievable.

I was with a friend and the photo above was just stolen.

The sun is about to set and in a great opportunity, I was able to capture a photo of her in a random position.

It looks great for an amateur point and shooter like me. I really love the sunset and I am still at an elevation leveled with the clouds. Just a little hike and you'll reach the crater of Mayon. At some points, we were actually above the clouds literally.

Nurse Lakwatsero was able to climb halfway the Mayon's crater to the Mayon Resthouse and what I saw at the final destination is a mixed emotion. 

It was amazing since the view of the Mayon Volcano up close was just fulfilling and on the other hand, my heart melted when I saw kids selling bonsai plants for a living. One look at the kids, signs of poverty are evident. They wear dirty shirts and their skin is untidy too. But who am I to judge them because it is the only way they can do to survive.

They sell bonsai plants to tourists for 50 pesos and they keep chasing after us hoping to find their luck to sell their products.

I pray that may God bless them even more and that these children will be able to survive the obstacles in life and have a better life in the future. It is not their fault because they are just children and their are working for their family at a young age. They are out of school. If our government will continue a culture of corruption, I think the future of this child is not so bright and might continue this job for a life time.

I was doing a walking tour in Baguio city until on my way from the Baguio city hall, I saw these three girls well-bonded together. 

They have been chatting for awhile while facing the road and let the jeepneys and other vehicles to pass by.

They are sitting on the steps of a concrete stair leading to the top of a hill where the Baguio city hall is located. The city Hall is close to Baguio Central School where these girls came from.

The city hall of Baguio is located atop a hill so you have to take the several steps to reach the top. The girls just love their place. Well, for a cool city like Baguio, I think everywhere can be a nice place to stay.

Burnham Park is Baguio's most popular destination for leisure and fun. At the western part of Burnham park in Baguio city is a place where one can have a biking activity where you can rent a bike - single bike, bike in tandem or bike with sidecar. 

There are also bike for little kids. The photo shows me how happy life could be. The boy just rides the bike with innocence in his face, no marks of problems and frustrations. As life goes on, struggles, failures and problems come and go. But as the boy enjoys his biking moments, everyone also deserves to be happy. 

Problems are inevitable and we must deal with it. It should not stop us from dreaming and achieving a goal. It is just a spice of our life. Life is too short and let's enjoy it as long as we are alive like what the boy in bike does.
