A picture is worth a thousand words

Hey folks, I am so sorry for the delay in posting, google is having major tantrums in my part of the world.

Anyway.

Early this January, a family now living somewhere far away had a vacation in the Philippines. The father, having enjoyed his moments of laughter with his high school buddies when they met up, decided to bring his family in his hometown, to show his lovely wife and his adorable daughter where he grew up, where he met his first friends, where he spent most of his treasured memories.

And then he uploaded it in Facebook--a very popular and very useful social networking site, [and I am thinking] he just wanted to share the pictures to his friends, little did he know that those pretty pictures would turn some people's lives upside down just by seeing the one place everyone wanted to see again.

Come and journey with Buen with his wife and daughter, together with Odick and his wife and son; as they bring you *CAPALONGA, year 2010.

Now these pictures were taken by Buen, a graduate of Central Elementary and Parochial School, so that should explain why he only took pictures of those places.

These are only a few of his gorgeous collections, you can see the whole collection in his album on his Facebook (FB) page here, but you would have to 'friend' him first, if you haven't yet.

With his permission, here are some of the comments inside his album, that could rock your world, 1000+ comments...and counting. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

 

These are just one of the conversations that would normally happen if you see one of your kababayans, agree?  So kung meron man pong nasasagasaan o nasasaktan, our apologies, nadaanan lang po ng usapan dahil yun po ang parte ng aming nakaraan, mga memories na naka ukit na sa aming mga isip.

Please, kung meron po kayo dyang mga pictures na gusto nyong i-share, para naman maghatid ng tuwa sa ating mga kababayan na namimiss na ang ating bayan, please don't hesitate to email me at ccn4607@gmail.com.
