BEAUTIFUL ISLAND

"It's fun to imagine what you could do with that kind of money. I could buy that ISLAND I've wanted to buy all my life, live there with my family. Or I could buy some great piece of art that's just going to feed my eyes every day. It's fun to toy with the notion of that, and it is very tempting because money,unfortunately is freedom in today's world." - By Johnny Depp (quote of an American film actor-Owensboro, Kentucky, USA) CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
REMARKS BY EBB RESELLA:I am always inspired with island poems, especially if the writter is as young as a fourth grader. What a gift! Our guest poetress for our blog is Sophie, a beautiful grand daughter of our dear classmate,Puri. As we all know Puri is not only a talented Bayanihan dancer, excellent chef but also a good writer. No wonder Sophie inherited it from her lola & tatay.
On the lighter side, Rhod & I are island lovers. Many of our past vacations, trips & cruises were focused on tropical islands. We are not as weathy as Johnny Depp (the famous actor of numerous "Pirates Of The Caribbean") films. But like him, we've toyed w/ the idea of buying a small island. If only........we have boatload of money! I wonder how many islands are now named after us????? When we were island hopping in Honda Bay, Palawan last 2010, our tour guide told us that those many desserted islands we sailed by..... are FOR SALE. They are very cheap but those islands are sinking. Do we like to buy sinking islands? NOPE!

"BEAUTIFUL ISLAND"

Written by Sophia Zivanic

Palm trees that sway

On a bright sunny day

Birds that sing

Things in the Spring

Sunsets of all color
Spending time with each

other
These are the things a beautiful

island sings

Dry dark blue ocean

Putting on suntan lotion

Sitting by a pool to relax
Ignoring all of your tasks
These are the things a

beautiful island brings



MY DREAM HOUSE: Beautifully located in Panglao Island, Bohol. Look like one of those bungalow huts build on the South Pacific. This nipa hut is build on the water w/ lovely florals on the balcon but w/ out the shocking price of owning one. Whoever owns this hut, I am jealous. To me, this is close to PARADISE.
ACKNOWEDGEMENT: The lasts photos are mine. The first four photos are borrowed from Rhod. All the photos were taken in Panglao Island, Bohol. Except the sunset, which was taken in the island of Boracay.
