being good!!!!

when we were children we were told to be good at the same time we have to be good or else our mother or father will just smack us (that`s the way we were raised). but as we matured, we are also growing in our motivations, we have to be good as our Good Lord Created all of us. being good out of love and not out of fear. that`s what we are called for and that`s what we are created for.

hina matsuri

"Hinamatsuri (Doll's Festival)" is held on March 3rd. This is a day to pray for young girl's growth and happiness. It is also called "Momo no sekku (Peach Festival)" because of the peach blossom season on the old lunar calendar. May 5th is "Kodomo no hi (Children's Day)," and this is so called "Boy's Festival." While Children's Day is a national holiday, Hinamatsuri is not.
Most families with girls display "hina-ningyo" (special dolls for Hinamatsuri, see the photo below) and dedicate peach blossoms to them. They are usually arranged on a five or seven-tiered stand covered with a red carpet. At the top are the Emperor and Empress. The next step contains three court ladies (sannin-kanjo), followed by five musicians (gonin-bayashi), two ministers (udaijin and sadaijin), and three servants ending the bottom row in a five-tiered display. There are also small pieces of furniture, small meal dishes, and other things.

a day in the park

some pictures i had taken during the outside exposure or education of our student in the kindergarten. the park is near to the church. the children enjoyed it so much to play on the ground of the newly built city library.

i just tried some pictures to upload. i like the sea but i also like to take some photos of sunshine.
enjoy!!!!

"crazy moments"#$#%&&#$%

i just recovered from what one calls "crazy moments". there are times that i feel i dont know myself. i dont have directions, no aim, nothing. but i just act as if nothing happens. these events are triggered by some moments in my encounter with people or a book that i read. i know am not fully recovered but its just crazy. i can laugh about it because i feel am back to normal. why am i wrting it here anyway??????
