Stopping to Smell the Flowers

Biking through the University Avenue, I yelled at my friend Francis who was trailing at my back, "Hey bro, this is life. This is the shit right here. We are literally stopping to smell the flowers." I guess he agreed with me because we took a lot of pictures of flowers.

These kinds of things remind me that maybe, heaven will always be right  here right now. Maybe, it's not some blissful place you go to after you die and all the religious dogma that comes with it.

UP village. Where's everyone? Fasting, singing the pasyon? Watching reruns of the Ten Commandments? Haha

Rah:  "I tell you, Jesus will rise from the dead."


Francis, "Who will rise from the dead?" ... Who's that? Nope, doesn't ring a bell..."
Reminds me of She loves me she loves me not... That lil insect right there is having the time of his life.

I wonder why these sun flowers were not facing the sun.

More cute flowers. For each flower, her own. Different strokes for different folks.

Star flower. The number of petals reminds me of Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio.
