The GREAT Providers

Simplymarrimye's The GREAT Providers - Kiko and Papa Ariel
Kiko and Papa Ariel

The 
PILLARS
KINGS 
of our domestic throne.
Dreams reign in their hearts
Aiming to offer 
GOLD 
and
never second hand.

HOME 
is the castle
they unselfishly protect
Nobody can trespass
The gates are locked up
with their fists like steel.

Warriors in the battlefield
Blood, sweat and tears
they hurdled... to serve the
abundance on the table.
The best that tomorrow may bring.

Shooting Like-a-PRO


I've been fascinated 
with this 
stimulating hue 
The shade represents
 joy, clarity and hope
Its brightness illuminates
like the sun 
bursting with light.

Golden Trumpet (Allamanda Cathartica)

I found this yellow flower
in an orchard place
and captured its 
beauty and grace.
I focused my lens and took
this macro shot.
The trick was a bit hard
but these attempts 
are not that bad.

Being the eldest of four siblings, I became responsible at an early age. I took charge of the house when our mother was out and since our father was then working as an overseas contract worker in the Middle East, I had to be emotionally and mentally matured.

As I grew up, I learned a lot of things which made me a better person... An obedient daughter... a loving sister and a trusting friend. I remember, my mother would always tell me that I have to take care of my sisters, be dependable and lead by example.

At first we were only three with age gap of two years. We were fondly called “tatlong maria”  (three Marias ) because our names start with Maria. When our father decided to stop working abroad and stayed home for a while, mother got pregnant and after thirteen long years of patiently waiting , their prayers had been answered. They were blessed with a son…

CHARICE - Although Glamour Has Gone, TRUE SELF Has Found

From CHARICE's photo archive
 Behind these looks is a mask

She's living her dreams
and reaching the farthest star
with all the fame and glory.

She's wandering in a world
full of glitters and gold
making her life... a story.

With the fancy dazzling limelight
and the deafening applause
there's a music, unheard.

A powerful gifted voice
was echoing... a melody that
no one has ever learned.

Until her journey through
 life is suddenly halted
And it's time to confront reality.

The mask should be removed
no more pretension nor hypocrisy
Now behold... her real identity.
