Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved,
now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether
or not fate will hear us -
I can live only wholly with you or not at all -
Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms
and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits -
Yes, unhappily it must be so -
You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you.
No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never -
Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves.
And yet my life in V is now a wretched life -
Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men -
At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection?
My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day -
therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once -
Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together -
Be calm - love me - today - yesterday -
what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life -
my all - farewell.
Oh continue to love me -
never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
Ever thine
Ever mine
Ever ours

i’m off to bid by Nikon D60 goodbye..

it’s been a good 8 months with you & so many images have been posted & appreciated because of you. so long, my baby.. ’til we meet again.. i hope your new owner will love you the same way i did..

i’m off for another good find. perhaps a Nikon D80? D90? your thoughts?

my lucky #8 karma in Plurk!! add me up ‘yo!

Grenellie Ann or G as her friends would call her, is my cousin who now lives in Texas. she migrated there with her family when she was about 7 or 8 & from then on, i’ve only seen her 2x. being a photographer that i am & knowing beauty runs in the family (no pun intended), i didn’t pass up the chance for a photoshoot with her. i invited Lloyd & met my cousin at my tita’s place for a photoshoot. here are some of the pics:

you check the rest of her set here & here. she’s now on her way to join a casting call for America’s Next Top Model. i told her to not let the opportunity pass her by. she’s beauty & brains rolled into one..

surprisingly, this trip wasn’t in my year’s list BUT since my cousin, Grennie, from TX went home for a visit & i wanted to go somewhere where we all haven’t been to, Caramoan Islands topped the list.

so i’ve heard, it was the islands were Survivor (France) was done back in 2008. it is considered as Philippine’s secret paradise, next to Boracay. located in Camarines Sur, i got captivated by the rugged coastline, powdery white sand beaches & crystal water that Caramoan Island have. for a complete package of about P8k per person, the island will definitely give you natural high. together with Mon, Diane, Joel, Gren, Terence, Mao & Joan, here are pictures to share from our weekend getaway:

there are actually a lot of things to say from the entire experience but words are not enough. so to shorten this out (& since this is also an uber post-trip entry..), the rest are mostly posted in my FB & their FB but here is my exclusive set of the Caramoan Countryside.

so the next time you want to plan a trip, consider flying to Caramoan Islands, it’s simply breathtaking.
