Assuming a sunrise at 6am and sunset at 7pm, and that your spouse/kids/friends suddenly give you the reverence and servility you so obviously deserve, a good day might be:

 

5am:  Pre-dawn: A pink, ethereal light and dreamy mist for lakes, rivers and landscapes.
6-7am:  Dawn: Crisp, golden light for east-facing subjects.

7am-10am:  Early morning: The city comes to life; joggers in the park.

10-2pm:   Mid-day: The sun is too harsh for landscapes and people, but perfect for monuments, buildings & streets with tall buildings.

2pm-4pm:  Afternoon: Deep blue skies with a polarizer.

4pm-6:45pm:  Late Afternoon: Terrific warm, golden light on west-facing subjects. Best time for landscapes and people, particularly one hour before sunset.

6:45 - 7:30pm:  Sunset: Great skies 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after sunset.

7:30-8pm:  Dusk is great for skylines, while there¹s still a purple color to the sky.

9pm:  Night shots, or go to bed - you¹ve got to be up early tomorrow!

Little Johnny was 7 years old, and like other boys his age, rather curious. He has been hearing quite a bit about courting from other boys and he wondered how it was done. One day, he took his questions to his mother, and she becomes flustered. Instead of explaining things to Johnny, she told him to hide behind the curtains one night and watch his older sister and her boyfriend. This he did and the following morning, Johnny explained everything to his mother.
“Sis and her boyfriend sat and talked for a while, and then he turned off most of the lights. Then, he started to kiss and hug her. I figured sis must be getting sick because her face started looking funny. He must have thought so too. Because he put his hands in her blouse to feel her heart, just like the doctor would. Except he’s not as good as the doctor, because she seemed to have trouble finding her heart.
He started getting sick, too because pretty soon both of them started fainting and getting all out of breath. His other hand must have been getting cold because he put it under shirts. About this time, sis got toward the end he was really hot.
Finally, I found out what was making them so sick… a big eel had gotten inside his pants somehow. It jumped out of his pants and stood there about 9 inches long. Honest! Anyway, he grabbed it on one hand to keep it from getting away. When sis saw it she got really scared her eyes came big and her mouth fell open, and she started calling out a name and stuff like that. I should tell her about the one’s I saw at the lake.
Anyway, sis got brave and tried to kill the eel by biting its head off. All of a sudden, she made noise and let the eel go… I guess it bit her back. Then she grabbed it with both hands and holds it while he took a muzzle of his pocket and slipped over it over the ell’s head to keep it from biting again.
After a while, they both quit moving and gave a great sigh. Her boyfriend sat up and sure enough of it insides were hanging out. Sis and her boyfriend were a little tired from the battle, but they went courting on anyway. He started kissing and hugging her again. And y golly, the eel wasn’t dead after all! It jumped straight up and started to fight again. I guess eels are like cats… they have nine lives or something.
This time sis jumped up and tired to kill by sitting on it. After 35 minutes of struggle, they finally killed the eel. I know it was dead this time because I saw sis’s boyfriend peel off the skin and flush it down the toilet”.

Mother fainted….

Hey guys, I just want to share you this.........
Three Fridays ago, our guru on relationships, Joe d mango, read a letter to his wife on his popular radio program Love

Notes. For the past 11 years, he had been giving advice to people who would write him letters about their personal problems. To the surprise of his listeners that Friday, instead of reading one of his usual letters, he read one that he had written himself to his wife Bing. Joe felt that he had to tell his listeners that even someone like him could go through a marital crisis, but that he survived it.

In our 11 years of marriage it was just the two of us. I never had a close circle of friends and she never had one either. Life for us was just "you and me," day in and day out. We were literally sleeping beside each other for 11 years. It came to a point that there was nothing more interesting to talk about. I was aware I was doing that but I never did anything about it. We were so close yet it seemed like we were so distant. Then came her new circle of friends. They recently had an elementary and high school reunion. Remember her persistent suitor since elementary days? He was there. We already had four daughters and the guy had four kids of his own. They exchanged phone numbers. They started to text each other and this bothered me. A big part of it was insecurity and other part was that she once denied that she was texting the guy, I felt bad because she started hiding things from me. Then the guy asked her if they could meet for lunch. It became a source of tension between us. I finally agreed, but before that, I told her that I felt that I was going through the same pain again. I have seen so many stories like this. If you told me the first part of the story I would already know where it would lead. Bing accused me of being a "know-it-all" person. But deep in my heart I knew where she was heading. Why would a married guy see a married girl unless it was for business or professional reasons? Finally, even if it was against my will, I drove her to the meeting place. While I was waiting at the radio station, I wanted to call her but I knew it wasn't proper. So I just waited for her to tell me how their meeting went. When she related to me what happened I felt that she was keeping the other details. I was afraid to ask because I wasn't prepared to accept her answers. I told her that it would be best if that were their last meeting. She got mad and told me that I was starting to control her life. The following day, I saw a small, torn piece of paper that had the words, "lose you" in the trashcan at home. I started picking up the pieces of paper and putting them together. She had written: "Felt sad because I felt that this will be our last meeting." "Wanted to hug you..."Before I could figure out what the third one was, Bing was already at my back. She wanted to get the torn pieces of paper back. She said it was private property. We decided to talk. By then, I was able to figure out the third line: "Not sure if afraid to lose you." She had crossed it out and beside it, she had written, "Wanted to cry." That was what hit me. How could you lose something that's not even with you yet? That was a confirmation that she was getting emotionally attached to the guy. We fought because she didn't want to admit it. She said that what she had written was all about friendship and not about love. For the first time in our marriage she asked for freedom from me.
For 11 years we were always together, and now this. She had discovered her own little world and wanted to explore it. I didn't want to give it to her but finally I gave in. I told her that she could do anything she wanted and not worry about how I would feel. In fact, I told her that I was planning to leave her and kids for a while so we could give each other the chance to be alone. We decided to give the new arrangement a try. The following day, Thursday, I went to work early and she texted me. I never answered back. When I didn't respond, she called me. She said, "I'm sorry. I love you and I miss you. “For the first time in our marriage I said, "I love you and I miss you too" with tears in my eyes. I realized how much I loved her but I also knew how much she wanted her freedom.
When I arrived at the station I asked for a leave. My boss advised me to think it over, but he said that he would allow me to go on leave. After letting it all out I felt relieved. It was the first time in my life that I asked for advice about our relationship. While I was talking with my boss, a messenger arrived with 12 white roses arranged in a basket. It came from Bing. Then a text message on my cell phone came, "I know that no material things can ease the pain that you're feeling right now, but these flowers signify my pure and sincere intentions. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. Still, a question continued to bug me: "I'm giving you the freedom. Will you choose to stay or go on?" I read the card, and it had the answer to my question: "Dear Dad, I finally realized that I made a very big mistake in choosing a newfound friendship at the expense of our long-time friendship. Please forgive me. I will always love you." Bing called the guy and told him that she wanted to end the friendship. He said that they could just text or call each> other. Bing said that there was no need. We had dinner and talked up to 1am. It was like getting married all over again. We lost each other and found our way back. I do not want to go through the same pain again. Friday came and it was the first time in the history of Love Notes that I couldn't do Love Notes. I scheduled a replay. When I was at the station at 9am, I composed a letter to Bing. I was asking myself, should I read this or do a replay? I chose to read the letter. It is not unusual to hear people say "I love you because..." but this story has shown us that the deeper and greater love is having to say "I LOVE YOU IN SPITE OF..."

Aking nararamdaman
Unti unti na yatang lumalayo ang puso mo
Tuluyan na yatang naglaho ang iyong pangako
Tayo sa habang panahon

Ngunit sadyang ganyan ang pag ibig
Ang pusomo ay may sariling isip

Tanggap ko na ako'y hindi mo na mahal
Wla na ko sayo
Wag mo sanang ipagkait
Ang aking pagsinta, aking nadarama sayo

Pusoy pilitin man
muling turuan magmahal
Ikay limutin ngunit ikaw pa rin
malinaw kong dapat gawin
masakit man to sa akin
magpaalam, palayain ka

Sadyang ganyan ang pag ibig
Puso mo'y mayroong sariling isip

Anuman ang iyong dahilan
di na kailangan pa
lahat ay tanggap ko na
ang tanging nais ko
sana tuluyan nang lumigaya ka

Mahal ko..
Ang aking pagsinta
aking nadarama sa yo

Narito ang isang kwento ng pag-ibig na tunay na naganap sa dalawang nilalang na pinagtagpo ng kapalaran. subalit dahil sa complikasyon at proteksyon ng mga tauhan, minabuti na huwag na silang bigyang pangalan.

***

Isang gabi, naglalakad ang isang lalaki sa may tulay nang may makita siyang babaeng nasa taas ng gilid nito at magtatangkang magpatiwakal. "Huwag," sigaw ng lalaki. At sa kabutihang palad ay nakumbinsi ang babae at siya'y bumaba.

Lalaki: Ano bang problema mo't naiisipan mong gawin yan.
Babae: Kasi, iniwan ako ng boypren ko't sumama sa ibang babae.
Lalaki: Miss, ganyan din ang problema ko pero di ko inisip na magpakamatay.
Babae: So, anong gagawin natin?

Nag-isip sandali ang lalaki at sinabi...

Lalaki: Kung gusto mo, maghiganti tayo sa kanila.
Babae: Paanong paghihiganti?
Lalaki: Alam mo na ang ibig kong sabihin...(sabay kindat sa babae na nakuha naman ni babae ang parinig na yon)

Maya maya'y nasa isang kuwarto na sila ng motel at nangyari na nga ang 'di dapat mangyari....Nang makaraos si lalaki, nagsindi siya ng yosi. Nang halos filter na lang ay biglang nagsabi si babae....

Babae: Maghiganti uli tayo.

Medyo pagod, pero pinagbigyan uli niya ang request ni babae. Nang makaraos uli, nagsindi uli si lalaki ng yosi. Nasa kalahati pa lang ang yosi nang...

Babae: Maghiganti uli tayo.

Medyo nangangatog na ang mga tuhod pero dahil sa hilig, muling pinagbigyan niya si babae.Muling nakaraos ang dalawa. Nagsindi uli si lalaki ng yosi. Unang hitit pa lang niya ay...

Babae: Ganti uli tayo.

Talagang lupaypay na si manoy niya pero para huwag mapahiya ay muling pinagbigyan niya ang kahilingan ng babae. Pagkatapos kumuha siya ng yosi. Sisindihan pa lang nang biglang...

Babae: Ganti uli tayo.

Lalaki: (Pagod na) TANG INA MO , PATAWARIN NA NATIN SILA!!!!

The End
