It did not end the way I had hoped it would. Heck, I did not envision it to end at all. Still, it was the best 7 years, 5 months, 11 days and about 15 hours of my life, which I got to share with one of the most fascinating persons one could ever meet.
Saw this artist in the Hawaiian episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. He sang this song entitled "Maunaleo". I did not know what it actually meant, but the sound was just awesome.
Here it is:
And here's the English translation (apparently):
Maunaleo
Beloved indeed in Maunaleo. Sparkling in the light, wind-blown rain. A finely woven cloak for for the highlands. A cherished one respected for power and strength Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven.
Capped by the silver of the rolling mists. An adornment for that gentle heart Embraced by the surrounding ridges One to hold close, to hold near and to love. One dear to the heart, precious and exalted.
This is my garland of affection For Maunaleo in its beauty. Glorified by the Malie breeze. A cherished one, respected for power and strength, Esteemed, treasured, touched by heaven.
For Maunaleo is the serenity of deep love. Beloved are you, beloved indeed. An adornment for that gentle heart.

Dropped by the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife yesterday before going to SM to pay some bills. Had my camera with me and took a few shots. 'Twas fun and a good exercise. Had i been doing it since January, I would have had a lot more use of my camera.:)
Some of my captures:
Played around with Photoshop on the foregoing (Auto Levels and Saturation adjustments). Didn't want to but I was not happy with the exposure.
