This Rugged JoyFull Home: Something Sweet and Something Salty

I am torn between my two loves, Russia and my beloved Philippines. And although Russia's ginormous land area is 17.1 million square kilometers which is about fifty times the size of the land area of the Philippines at 300,000 square kilometers, I see from my mobile phone's eyes plenty of commonalities that these two great nations have. After all, isn't this a natural tendency of ours as OFWs peppering the world? to find the connections in things and see the similarities in people that we meet, no matter how diverse we are as individuals? and then gradually, and eventually making yourself at home, away from home? You sense that you've reached a moment in this process of uprooting and re-planting that your roots are steadily growing, until you can't tell the difference between your two home-countries any longer. You tell yourself, "this is my Father's world. I am on a bent posture in awe of His Omnipresence - the ALL - Present - GOD. Where are You not?"

So, cozy up. He's got everything covered. I hope you enjoy the photos=)
