Sipalay Sunsets

              
          My current work requires me to be in Sipalay City for almost every week. The place which is approximately 178 kilometers away from the provincial capital of Bacolod City (or a maximum of 6 hours travel by bus) is adorned by so many beaches in sight. Sunsets here are quite dramatic. I feel like staring into a fire ball that slowly sinks down from that vast horizon, and giant fleecy clouds bathed in reddish and bluish hue looked like weary souls that stir the bitterness of isolation inside me. So what I did is to take some snap shots after office hours to keep myself some mementos of Sipalay sunsets. Every day is a different sunset. They never look the same. Each sunset appears to have its own particular story, just like each day in our lives. I got to say that life, most of the time, is just a series of monotonous events. I said it when I was dead tired. But actually, if only I am putting enough attention to everything that is happening in my surroundings, I could tell that there is a difference in every today from every yesterday. Each day is a unique collection of magnificent hours that gives us chances to pursue and hold wonderful things in this world. Today I will try to be more focused in everything that I do. I will try to finally garbage the word procrastination. I will never oversleep again so I will no longer miss thousands of great happenings and awesome moments. Today I promise that every word I swear, every promise I give, and every statement I utter is meant, cherished and worth believing. Life is beautiful, and our days are just numbered. Why would I waste time just playing around? Let’s do it meaningful.
