I’m thankful to have wonderful people in my life. Family. Friends. and my So-called- family here in Rome. There are the best. I couldn’t asked for more.

And I’m also Thankful for having him.

This is way back 2009. We started our love story.

         Image

 I needed to transferred to Rome and he joined me. I had hard time dealing with changes and his there to support me.

and then our long distance relationship started…

Image

Goodbye’s are the hardest part. Tears are shed and you are back to your old routine.  And you are alone again.

We promised to see each other as soon as everything is settled for me. May 2011 Fiumicino Airport.

And then we give up. I give up. I had a relationship and he was looking for his own. We still share events in our lives.

He is always there when I need someone to talked to. He knows me so well. I cried to him when I couldn’t take it anymore.

I asked for advice for my new relationship. He was there during my tough times. And he never left me. Things didn’t went well with my new relationship.

Image

I guess after all this time. We are bound to be together. Thank you for your love. For being my friend. adviser. counselor. everything.

Special Photo Challenge: Inspiration

What inspires you to blog?

There are multiple reason why I’m blogging:

I. She encouraged me to blog. http://joycelynaralar.wordpress.com I’ve been reading her blog since she started it. I just love reading her crazy adventure and her vanity. So, she said “why, don’t you blog too? you are in a wonderful city and you have a nice photos.” I said, “I’m never good in words.” So, she suggest of photo blogging. That’s why I came up with my URL. She support me every now and then. She’s my inspiration because she’s fearless.

II. Passion and travelling

Photography fascinates me.

There are many stories behind them. “we don’t remember the dates but, we remember the moment.” that’s how I feel.

I know they will last.

III. Sharing

Since I grew up in Philippines and now I’m living my adult life in Europe. Everything seems so nice and new. So, I wanted to share my experience with everybody through pictures.

Scala Sancta, Rome

28 steps.climbing the stairs on the knees.

according to the Christian tradition, the steps that led up to the praetorium of Pontius Pilate inJerusalem,

which Jesus Christ stood on during his Passion on his way to trial.

 The stairs were, reputedly, brought to Rome by St. Helena in the 4th century.

For centuries, the Scala Santa has attracted Christian pilgrims who wished to honor the Passion of Jesus.
