simplicité

taken right outside the oldest church in the island, sto. nino church. old ladies carrying red candles were dancing in front of the church, no doubt to lure the gods into granting specific favors. guitars are a trademark product of the island and many tourists buy into it. a borrowed trademark from spain or is it mexico.

i picked up a book called simplify and live the good life by bo sanchez. it was a gift from a good and loyal friend - glads. at first, i wasnt interested convinced that it was another religious trick to convert weak minded individuals into believing in the "matrix". after reading the chapter, i realize it did have secular wisdom between its pages. which i will try to relay and translate, as i go along.thanks glads. the first excercise was listing down 50 good things (in the book it was called blessings) i enjoy today. it has to be 50.
