In its own way. Well, that’s what the song says anyway. I’ve seen some fucked up shit in my time that is the opposite of beautiful. But I guess the point is that it matters how you look at the world around you and that outlook determines its relative beauty.
So, welcome to another beautiful rainy afternoon in the Philippines. The weather was kind enough to stay dry until I completed my morning rounds. That and my nap is the sum of all my accomplishments thus far today. But I do have some beautiful photographs from yesterday’s hike to share with you:
Oh well, at least I didn’t fall on trail. And my new backpack worked out great. Almost no shoulder pain during the hike.
Ain’t life beautiful?
Everything is beautiful in its’ own way Like a starry summer night or a snow covered winter’s day Everybody’s beautiful in their own way Under God’s heaven, the world’s gonna find a way There is none so blind as he who will not see We must not close our minds, we must let our thought be free For every hour that passes by, you know the world gets a little bit older It’s time to realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

Awesome pics. Too bad about the chair. Here in Seoul, the local Costco sells cheap-but-sturdy folding chairs that cost only W17,000 each ($14.50 at the current rate). I’ve used these for years, although I do occasionally think about upgrading. Now that your own chair has broken, will you be upgrading? Does your town have any traditional craftsmen who make sturdy chairs out of locally sourced materials? (traditional Filipino chairs, Google Images)
Great pics. Nice to be so close to nature!!
I picked up like six of those chairs at the local market for a birthday I hosted a while back. I’ve broken two of them now. Think they are designed with a Filiipina ass in mind. No big deal, they were cheap. Proving once again that you get what you pay for.
And yes, it’s a fact–being surrounded by nature’s beauty is what I like best about my life here.
