A place for matcha, coffee, and conversations then, now an abandoned place. I missed their swirly ice cream... 🍵🍦☕ #somewherestreet #stroll #streetphotography #matchateaplease https://www.instagram.com/p/CWazxIKpHp-KfQmvhHpFH_K3yZ3BK6xwo3VbAo0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just found this in my closet while sorting of some things to keep and some things to declutter. Until I remember where the time it was been started. In November 2013, my first ministry at church was Ushering after Victory Weekend (which it was happened since July of the said year). And the rest goes a long, long way. However, in 2019, I was been forced to leave because of my Mom's situation. That was totally devastating. And I tried to continue at the first three months of 2020 until pandemic struck the nation so that I decided to stop. We know all of us missing that but one thing that marks my mind is this - Ministry is not only happened or been done at church. It can be in our homes, our families, our workplaces, and in every areas of our lives. We were called to be good stewards. The ones that been entrusted to do His will. And it cannot be changed. We hope, pray, and keep the faith that we will go back to normal again and continue to have a heart to serve... As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace (1 Peter 4:10, ESV) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWA4SFbBobKvMb1RvDWH68YCwScxqrPWSsrFnA0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Setting sun, orange clouds Lights flicker, neons lit People go, in and out Of traffic and of work Chasing cars, city roads They chatter everywhere Over the starry skies They looked up and amazed They went to restaurants Coffee shops, and the park Middle of the dark night Serenades lift the minds Of people 'round the town The music fills the crowd With mellow and delight Million lights shone around The taverns and cafes It's such a melody To the ears of many 'Till the end of evening About time, after dark The clock ticks "it's midnight!" All covered in silence As the wind grows colder Less people, less the cars Another day has passed The moonlight came closer And indeed the world Took a break from the crowds The clock's hand struck at one Quietness filled the place Promenades are empty And vacant for a while Two, three, four in the morn Buses, cars, on the go About five, dark skies changed To yellow and orange Half past five, new day starts Here comes the rising sun - Night Flight (2018) #wordsfromtheshutterbug #somewherestreet #nightflight https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5IGHUhnscSB22pvJkQUz_qCjKtue94GTQHB40/?utm_medium=tumblr

We're about to end 2021 in two months. Funny how time flies. We have faced many challenges since the first surge of pandemic. But thank goodness, we were still safe and healthy. Everything we have for now is by His grace. We seeing the world on its gradual recovery due to some of us were vaccinated and still following the safety protocols (dapat all hehehehe). It was a good news indeed. We keep on believing that there is God who continuously restores everything on us - physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually. And in due time, we will see us again by faith... #somewherestreet #streetphotography #stroll #newbeginnings #sunset https://www.instagram.com/p/CVrklDrhIPmBawKRTgFh3FFOjv7XxstzaK43a40/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rainy days are my favorite part of the day. Seeing every drops falling on the window pane, cold wind blowing on trees, and holding a warm cup on tea while wearing a turtleneck sweater. Every drop reminisces me to an unforgettable moment of my life. The day that my lover and I went to a castle while he held an umbrella. Suddenly, the wind blew heavily and it was torn out, we ran to find a shed so that we won't get wet. And he told me to look on him and at that moment, he confessed that he had feelings to me and I was surprised however, I felt a little doubt and tried to refuse on his favor that he wanted me to be his girlfriend. Until a thunder flashed in the sky and I was terrified and hugged him accidentally. He smiled at what he saw but I loosed myself and said "I'm sorry." And it was fine. After a minute of silence, he asked me again.

"Do you love me?"

"Yes, I do," I replied.

"Are you sure?" he said.

"Yes, I'm sure,'' I answered. Then I asked "why?"

"I thought that you're hesitant," he replied.

"Okay," I answered.

Then he took my hand and swore.

"Whatever it takes, you're still the one that I am willing to love. Just promise me that you will love me and accept me someday."

"Okay. I will..."

He hugged me tightly and kissed me on my forehead. And he went away as the sun came up. I tried to follow his footsteps as he walked on and all of a sudden, he vanished. I went everywhere to find him but he wasn't there. Until I looked at my hand and there was something on it - a raindrop charm bracelet. A memoir to reminding me of him and the falling rain.

As I remember that bittersweet moment, I felt a relief every time I see the rain fall down. And someday, I will see him through it.
