Am at the King Abdul Aziz Public Library-Muraba

Yes I discovered this library and the free internet access here. Also they have a small stacks of English books, am reading the Arabic literature of course. Yesterday I visited the National Museum and spent 4 hours going through the exhibit - started with creation and ended up with the Pilgrimage and Hajj. Very excellent display - a world class indeed. Around the museum is a nice park and one adjacent being constructed a great way to attract people.

What I particularly like is the rock art and arabic inscription on rocks - very nice indeed.

Then I had a chance also to visit the exhibit on horses, such wonderful and noble creature. One painting that particularly struck me was of a white horse. The way its golden hair was painted looks like as if it was pluck from him/her and pasted in the canvass so real ! Also, I was able to get some materials for Andre, I hope he still like horses.

Well I came to know a bit of the history of the country that hosted me for more than 2 years up until now and availing this free internet access.

Well I really plan to spend most of my free time here reading those books and accessing the net, hmmm....

Well I want to be home !

Happy Birthday Buddha!

Well my blog is becoming a foto blog. I can't resist but capture the colors and scenes around after the dreary, snowless, and cold winter is a profusion of colors and the freshness of greens. This is the scene at the park now. Colorful lanterns adorn the pathway - to enlighten seekers of truth, maybe? Trees are full of flowers soon they will disappear. But, they are here to stay a bit to be offered as bouquet or tree of flowers for Buddha on his birthday. Flowers and Lanterns at the 518 Park

Kagabi nanood ako ng concert para sa selebrasyon ng 60th Anniversary ng Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Humanga ako sa mga bulag na nag-perform ng drums. Bagamat hindi sila nakakakita matalas naman ang kanilang kakayahan tumugtog ng drums. Subalit gawa ng kanilang kapansanan hindi nila nararanasan na tumangkilik ng ibang bagay tulad ng ganda ng isang larawan o kaya malasin at danasin ang kapayapaan dulot ng magandang tanawin. Kung kaya't malaking pasalamat nating mga litratista na kaya nating tangkilikin ang magagandang bagay o kaya i-capture ang mga larawan na nagdudulot sa atin ng kasiyahan.
