a passion for free-fall!

there's a tunnel...
and yea! there's always light at e end of e tunnel. =p

we had to walk down hill...
see that wire there? its suppose to be an electric wire. see the wool? i guess it must be some sheeps trying to get across it.
and yea! "chocolate balls" for anyone?
e pathway was almost full of it. have to be careful while walking. most of e time, my head was looking down as i walk. *hehe

and so, we reached! tunnel beach!

we passed by a cow "farm"

i like that brown spotted cow. so pretty huh?

Let our earth be peaceful,
let our hearts be hopeful,
let out hands be gentle
for the love of God

Let our lives be fruitful,
beautiful and playful,
everyday be thankful
for the love of God.

Let our ways be mindful,
mending what is hurtful,
doing what is needful
for the love of God

Let our lives be fruitful,
beautiful and playful,
everyday be thankful
for the love of God.
