Sunday Quote and Photograph: You Don’t Raise Heroes, You Raise Sons

You don't raise heroes,
you raise sons.
And if you treat them like sons,
they'll turn out to be heroes,
even if it's just in your own eyes.

Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children

Their telephone number is (+632) 255-0832 and the contact person is Sister Anselm.

Go Kart at SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex

I’m doing my usual morning run at the SM Mall of Asia bay side when I spotted this area.  It kind of caught me by surprise seeing this area as colorful and lively because I remember during my last run, this area is used to be surrounded with iron sheets coverings, the same thing when there’s something being constructed inside the coverings.  And then I remembered that I had a short break from my morning run.  It seems like this activity is launched while I was on short break from my morning run.   As usual, every time I see something new that looks exciting, I am excited to share the info to you all.  So for those who are into cars and driving, this one’s for you! “Go Kart” !
