Truth According to Francis Bacon

I’ve been reading more on Sir Francis Bacon’s life and works.  In my research, I came upon this quote that really struck a cord in me.  If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know why.

No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth. – Sir Francis Bacon

I can truly relate.  The truth has always been my refuge.

Great Woman

The woman carrying me there is someone whom I and Aki affectionately call Mama Cita.  Reminiscent of the Christmas song, I know.

This woman is really fiesty.  She’s always the life of the party in our Davao crowd.  I just love her humor, it’s sarcastic but light. :-D

She celebrated her birthday a couple of days ago.

Happy Birthday Mama Cita.  I hope to see you in a few months time.
