Paint Me a Picture
I love photographs - old ones, new ones; colored, sepia, or black and white. Technology has provided us with a wide array of format, style and size. In this day and age, capturing a memory and storing it for retrieval is at your fingertips.
My daughter has finally decided to stay in the BA Film and Audio Visual Communication Program in UP Diliman. She's looking forward to the fun of taking pictures and creating visual images. I am excited too because we can actually work on certain projects together. It's amazing how time flies and how easily we now have access to communication and information.
Friends now can chat, long distance without having to pay so much. I remember I used to mail my letters to friends and it usually took about three weeks to a month to get a reply, if they too were as prolific in writing. (Not that some friends write at all, it still depends on the person afterall. It's not something that we all share - this great passion to communicate with words.)
Natasha was drawing the cover of El Filibusterismo last night, for her presentation in Filipino. She's a gifter artist, and we just helped her along when my cousins let her join an art class one summer in Manila. After that, she was painting in watercolor, and oils; smudging craypas and making wonders with the crayons. Her favorite Ninang Janinna gave them a huge crayola set, which the kids loved to use.
Ulrick on the other hand, told me he wanted to play basketball. Well, I said that would be wonderful. I'd be a stage mother and go to Araneta Coliseum to watch my son play. That's my role - to fan the flames of excitement and help my children achieve their dreams.
That brings to mind my own dreams. What did I want to be when I grew up? Well, my fervent wish then, even now, was to travel. After island hopping in the Philippines, I realize how blessed we are as a nation and how wonderful it is to be here. I know most people have greater dreams. My only desire now is to please the Lord in all areas of my life. It's not that I have stopped dreaming. I have learned to be content in all situations, whether in want or in plenty - the best way to live is to praise and thank God in all situations!
