... And if I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring,
Let them smile, as I do now,
At the old forsaken bough
Where I cling.

The Secret
Decide what you want .. believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it’s possible for you
Like the sunset
I decided to offer this picture to my dog, my best friend...
She's like a sunset and the trees waving goodbye...
She's been with me for 10 years, through good times and bad times...
Now she's gone and my heart is broken,
...my best friend....I will miss her forever!!!

You'll Be In My Heart

Dear grandmother,
You are not forgotten,
Though on earth you are no more,
Still in memory you are with us,
As you always were before.
Though on earth you are no more,
Still in memory you are with us,

Philippine Cuisine
From Wiki:
Philippine cuisine consists of the foods, preparation methods and eating customs found in the Philippines. The style of cooking and the foods associated with it have evolved over several centuries from its Malayo-Polynesian origins to a mixed cuisine with many Hispanic, Chinese, American, and other Asian influences adapted to indigenous ingredients and the local palate.
Filipinos traditionally eat three main meals a day - agahan or almusal (breakfast), tanghalían (lunch), and hapunan (dinner) plus an afternoon snack called meriénda (another variant is minandál or minindál). Dishes range from the very simple, like a meal of fried salted fish and rice, to the elaborate paellas and cocidos created for fiestas.
Popular dishes include lechón (whole roasted pig), longganisa (Philippine sausage), tapa (cured beef), torta (omelette), adobo (chicken and/or pork braised in garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar or cooked until dry), kaldereta (goat in tomato stew), mechado (beef or pork cooked in tomato sauce), pochero (beef in bananas and tomato sauce), afritada (pork or beef simmered in a tomato sauce with vegetables), kare-kare (oxtail and vegetables cooked in peanut sauce), crispy pata (deep-fried pig's leg), hamonado (pork sweetened in pineapple sauce), sinigang (pork, fish, or shrimp in tamarind stew), pancit (stir-fried noodles), and lumpia (fresh or fried spring rolls).

Angels
Angels represent goodness, protection, and the heavenly realm. As a dream symbol they may attempt to focus the dreamer's attention on their own divine qualities and the supportive and loving aspects.
prosperity programming
The truth about this earth is that it is infinitely good, beautiful, nourishing place to be. We can really open our eyes to the goodness and beauty and abundance that are all around us... we can imagine this world transformed into a happy, prosperous and enlightened environment in which everyone can flourish, only if we are willing to open our minds to that possibility and stimulate our imagination and expand the ability to "have it all".
