the monastery,


it is simply known as the 'monastery'. no one has to elaborate when asked how to get to the monastery. it is simply a lovely structure erected in the middle of a hill where one never fails to feel the presence of the one who created everything. the monastery of transfiguration, where one gets to be transfigured either for a few hours or forever. it's lovely angles continue to honor the shapes of the mountains that stand witness to the comings and goings of people who may either desire deeply or superficially transfiguration in their lives.

a tribute to my birthplace;


bukidnon my home--> wherever i may roam/the distant land to see/i long to go back soon/to sweet bukidnon home/where lovely mountains high/with forest old and grand/bring memories to me/the home i long to see/there my heart/yearns to be/in far away bukidnon land/under its blue, starry skies/where love and joy/never dies/
