Rafa + Ana = Rafana?

For the tennis fans out there, before the turf grass tournament starts at London for the Wimbledon championships, I just thought of sharing this nice picture with you:

Ana Ivanovic and Rafael Nadal sharing a light moment during the Roland Garros tournmament.

 Do you agree with me when I say they look good together? Too bad Rafa is currently attched to someone else! Ana is sooooo pretty! Bagy na bagay sila!

LP: misyon

TPS: Ang misyon mo KG ay kunan ng litrato ang 21 Rue de Cambon.

KG: Ano yun?

TPS: Ang mother ship ng Chanel.

Yun nga lang, kahit anung hanap ko, di ko nakita ang Rue de Cambon. Kaya eto na lang ang kinuhanan ko ng litrato.

Chanel sa Rue Royal, malapit sa Place dela St. Madeleine

Sa totoo lang, nagkalat ang Chanel sa Paris [para syang Bench natin dito]. Kaya pwede na siguro ito…

Di naman siguro ako mission failed ano?

Halina’t tingnan ang iba’t-ibang misyon sa linggong ito sa Litratong Pinoy.

What it means to do the right thing

I remember buying women’s shoes in one small store before and seeing a sign bearing a quote that I haven’t forgotten ever since:

Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is looking.

I remember reading a story in Chicken Soup for the Soul regarding this. The story goes more or less something like this: There was once an aspiring talented actress who had no means to go to New York to pursue her dreams. A prominent businessman once watched her “small show” and was impressed with her. So he gave her money [thousand dollars] to go to New York and pursue her dreams. There were three conditions though: first, she must repay him within 10 years; second, she must pay the kindness forward; and third, she must never reveal his identity and what he has done for him. And so the woman went to become an actress. If I remember correctly, the actress was Carol Burnett. And the businessman? His identity remains unknown.

I’d like to believe that there are people who still abide to this statement. I believe in the integrity of people. When I hear about the good things a person does in secret, I smile. There is hope in humanity after all.
