Woodwinds, A Beauty Scene Along Tagaytay

By livelifeandlove on August 27, 2016

Following a successful progress and development, it is a home of exclusive lifestyles. For many years now or decades have been the favorite vacation destination, the cool climate and from the distance overlooking the high mountains and vast vegetation is always a hazy horizon. If you live in this area, distinctive cultural and peaceful life will begin to prosper.

I took this photo from a shelter of Innova to keep myself cool from hot day. Fresh looking greenery makes the scene landscape spectacular from a distance. The beautiful slopes leading the eyes down to the white house and direction of natural light at the left side. Peaceful- lonely mood with subtle beauty to feel inside…

Taipei 101

By livelifeandlove on June 22, 2016

Incredible structures to present the works of art, architecture, and engineering, it is the tower that symbolizes the city,the iconic Taipei 101 is a beautiful skyscraper with a total height record of 508 meters that ranks the world’s tallest building from 2004-2010. It is also the world’s tallest floor at 438 meters and the world’s tallest roof at 448 meters. Observatory elevators holds the Guinness world Records as the World’s fastest passenger elevator. Taipei 101 mall attracts millions of tourist every year.

I have come to appreciate everything here, all the incredible structures. Indeed, the consistent effort to present the works of art and engineering which is more technically and technologically advanced. We’ve seen the big progress and development globally.

Humans aim high attracting international attention for the title “World’s tallest building” to gain prestige and recognition. My feelings widened with excitement along great things. In this century which is global in perspective, It’s getting more updated, fast growing and competition is still going on, more tall buildings and great structural forms are getting better and taller. If you remember the Great Pyramid of Egypt at Giza holds the longest for 3,500 years until the next construction of another. World title started from tall,taller to the tallest. Presently holding the title, Burj Khalifa of Dubai as the ‘’World’s tallest skyscraper.’’ More skyscrapers has been and would be completed in the coming years to come..According to my reference, Jeddah Tower (167 Floors) will be the future next is still under construction so with the Merdeka PNB 118 of Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia (118 Floors)is now under construction, Dubai One (with 161 Floors) Is it practical to do this kind of expensive construction? Is it fruitful or wasteful?

Taipei 101, the irregular bamboo shaped building ranks #8 as as one of tallest building in the world as of 2016.

High above, at the top is a leisure attraction and the best way to view the whole of Taiwan.Through the top, spectacular views down there taken from the glass curtain walls,the glass wall provides protection from heat, VV screening remarkably clear and beautiful.

By livelifeandlove on July 9, 2015

Looking for a good place to ride freely? This is the one, an ideal for leisure cycling and jogging, you can feel the peacefulness of the surroundings and the cool wind of pine trees around. In addition, you can see the mountain range within horizontal distance in view across the pineapple farm. All plants and trees remarkably green with no direct sunlight, the wide space with a good curve is a perfect cycling path and it’s a peaceful home stretch to compliment your mood relaxing while riding.

Viewing the Sunset Over the Ricefield

By livelifeandlove on July 4, 2015

The peaceful attraction which is truly appreciated and accessible from all points along the ricefield.The light flashings of yellow, deep red and orange is vibrant and powerful that changes its colors every moment. It all happens when we passed by an area along the way going for an early dinner to the nearest restaurant nearby,we accidentally went to the wrong way,I guess,wrong lead of direction. When I saw the sundown,I immediately stopped for a brief moment to to capture the power of nature. sunset photo I took during our summer visit in Pagsanjan,Laguna.

This sunset photo is truly simple and unique compared to the rest that was published earlier. In here, you can see how spacious the surroundings and the greenery around. In addition, the birds and farm animals around added more attractions to the subject.

Feeling of Love in Romantic Setting

By livelifeandlove on April 11, 2014

Love feeling that takes place in romantic setting

Low clouds and afternoon mist provides dramatic effect before the sunset. A young man sitting alone serves to highlight the colorful shadow before sundown. What is the young man doing in this area? No one bothered him except me for a few moment chat with him. What brought you here? And he replied,”Just to see the sunset’’ What is so special about the sunset? He answered, It gives refreshing mood away from hectic school schedules and assignments.

For few questions, I’d like to get a possibility from him to open a love story but,I refrain myself from asking too many questions because it might be awkward to answer such things. There was no early arrangement made to interview since it was only a chance meeting. He was busy texting while talking. I guess, curiosity made me so, he’s here to release all his worries. After having him talked as he wished, he left holding his mobile on hand. With just a few steps away, He turned his back and said, I think, I’m already in love! Ohhh! that’s the point I’ve been waiting for…

How could you forget something just as for me to repeat his name as he walk away.. I can recall other details with the facts that came in the corner of just a short conversation.It seems to be a typical love story revolving around teenagers of today.

An outdoor experience. A good setting where you can get more hours to refresh and think about what the next move.

Beautiful scenery, Manila Bay along Roxas Blvd.

I agree, this is the perfect place to relax but, if you ask me to relate the atmosphere here, I can just describe it as a lonely daybreak. I mean, at least, you must have a meaningful smile even if hectic school assignment arises! It’s just a part of education and for you to learn and grow up!

Looks like a solitaire but I don’t see any grim expression on his face.No matter what we go through life, to love and to be loved, it’s meant to make life worth living.

Far from the buzz of the university crowd. Sometimes, It’s more calm and peaceful to be with yourself for awhile.

Among my favorite places to go, I really believed this place is the best refreshing area that’s why I was also here at that time.

How wonderful to view the same area at this time of the day. It’s makes a big difference if you stay home and enclosed yourself to a room with only 4 wall corners to view every time. That would be very boring, isn’t it?

Taken 30 minutes before the sunset.

This refreshing sight is a wonder of nature. If you see these scenic views you’ll forget all your worries and what lies beyond… It would be a meaningful experience to view the sunset. It will help you appreciate and understand Mother Nature. And you? How do you refresh yourself? and where?
