That Thing You Do

Vincent Tom is a photo hobbyist whose line of photography includes cityscape, fashion, travel and wedding. A hobby turned into passion, he envisions himself to become a very good photographer in his own right. Photography comes in handy with his baby Canon 60D, Pentax K-r and point and shoot Sony Cybershot. During free time, he indulges himself into playing the piano while at home. Personal favorites are Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and Lizst. Vincent Tom lately fuses photography with charity as he covers relief efforts by philanthropists' organizations reaching out to survivors of the recent tragedy that befell his beloved Cagayan de Oro City.

God knows I'm tough enough...                                         

                                          "I Won't Give Up"

When I look into your eyes It's like watching the night sky Or a beautiful sunrise Well, there's so much they hold And just like them old stars I see that you've come so far To be right where you are How old is your soul? Well, I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up And when you're needing your space To do some navigating I'll be here patiently waiting To see what you find 'Cause even the stars they burn Some even fall to the earth We've got a lot to learn God knows we're worth it No, I won't give up I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up, still looking up. Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up) God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved) We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved) God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it) I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up

FAITH requires no explanation

[vincenttom]

There are things

that we don't want to happen

but have to accept

things we don't want to know

but have to learn

And people we can't live without

but have to let go.

Sometimes it’s not about missing someone... 

it‘ s wondering if they’re missing you.
