A day in a Buddhist temple

It was a great experience walking around the vicinity of this great  ancient Buddhist temple nestled on the highest point of the city.Commanding a great view of the city makes you feel light and easy as the afternoon breeze gently whisper the sound of nature in my ears.The feeling of serenity as you stop and feel the very essence of the place makes one try to linger for a longer period in this revered site.
I am longing to return and visit the place again.

New academic setting

Amidst the concrete jungle of Salcedo Village right in the heart of Makati Central Business district stands majestically a new educational institution which caters to a new breed of profession in the field of animation,web designing,fashion design as well as business management.

It is indeed a new experience for a guru like me to interact with this kind of learners whose passion for their craft can be seen by the way they act and answer questions in my class.I am in the process of learning new insights as i progress in the classroom discussion and lectures of the topics for the day.

The ease of presenting the subject thru the aid of the internet access makes one breeze with confidence the very interesting subject Economics.

Ceteris paribus !

Zen in the midst of traffic

To be in harmony with oneself requires a great deal of effort for someone who is always busy with the ways of city life.The everyday struggle of beating time to rush for a ride going to workplace is a very tedious activity that somehow begins the tension of the day.What with the heavy traffic that we must navigate,the suffocating fumes churned by public and private vehicles,the reckless drivers trying to overtake and without any signal would simply slowdown after taking your rear space.Traffic enforcers who has no qualms in stopping or redirecting the flow of traffic in an instant without turning off the street traffic lights first,leads drivers into confusions as to what ought to follow, the traffic lights in green or the hand signal of traffic officers motioning to hurry pass and cross the street corner.Add to the cacophony of moving vehicles are the motorcycles which simply try to crisscross each and every space of the street without any concern if they might simply bump the sides of other vehicles also inching their way to escape traffic.The street peddlers that also competes with drivers in claiming side streets if not the center of the street with their wares like tall umbrella hungers lagged on their shoulders,or the push carts that blocks or impedes the vehicles. This are some of the things that would really make one truly annoyed and somehow make their time miserable.

Can we make another perspective of this scenario?What if we simply try to follow what is on going? Simply trying to observe and be immerse with the ways of the busy street will somehow temper our minds.But it would not be really that easy to achieve that if we will not be one with the present situation.Go with what is going on can be our way of dealing with the traffic in the streets.Be with the traffic and you will be free from the stress and again in sync with yourself.
