push



nature. as it was, as it is, as it will be. that is the dynamic flexibility of nature. it is nature. it is in our nature.

if only he could continue driving on, until his destination, but cars could not run free. his sanity gone thinner, he could always choose to push the truck to move down a steep decline, though it will definitely send him crashing down.


alas there are people who, for utter baseness, with, apparently, a fancy whim to corrupt others, choose and claim lies, and achieve objectifying their self-acclaimed greatness. such, he thought, brings a developmental downfall. artificial markets, artificial needs, and artificial claims, corporate or personal, work to market specific interests. his story was manipulated to serve as an artificial tool for baseness, as he digressed from focusing on the road to the opened mouth of a tiger. memento mori.

shrikes




a wild guess that this is a mountain shrike
scientific name: lanius validirostris
habitat: montane forests 1000m but more conspicuous in forest clearings and edge
birdwatch note: endemic, told from all other shrikes by uniform grey upperparts and thick black bill
location: baguio city




this one could be a brown shrike although the photo could not lend any more clarity as to the color of its upperparts which appeared more of grey or dark brown when shot.
scientific name: lanius cristatus
habitat: all habitats in all locations
birdwatch note: common migrant. noisy and conspicuous...

location: sta.ana, cagayan valley
