Before my posts on the place, let me first feature the wonderful people I met and joined in that adventurous weekend in Capones Island. This, however, is not a photoshoot. In fact most of these are stolen shots. And since their group is now one of my favorite people, I took the liberty of inserting the lyrics of one of my favorite song at the moment - unwritten.
I'm just beginning,
CHRIS
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
MAUI AND MYX
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
ENZO
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
DAN
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
J C
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
DAVE
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
THEO
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
IAN AND ERIC
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
LUKE
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
ELSON
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
Lingkod Alabang brothers are part of Ang Lingkod ng Panginoon Alabang branch. A Catholic charismatic community for single professionals who meets to honor and serve the Lord. I am just so blessed and lucky to have accompanied them in this adventurous trip. I personally would like to thank Dong Ho for bringing me to Capones Island.

ReplyDeleteHi Oman! Grabe itong pinost mo. The Capones adventure was a great and unforgettable experience if not because of your company with us. Thanks for the pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteTHe song "Unwritten" by Natasha Beddingfield is one of my likable songs. THough its for girls, the song also applies to everyone especially those who love suprises and adventures.
We hope in the future breakaways and outings, we will see and be with us again.
I hope too that if I have available time to travel, sama ako sa yo--with my own camera/videocam!
God bless you...
