“In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.”
~Buddha Quotes
One sunny July afternoon at Club Manila East, Taytay, Rizal.
Don’t you love the contrasting colors of the sky, the trees and the floor?

A not so 100% perfect concept for this week’s entry because I only got one flag up on my photo.. I earlier blogged that I won’t be joining this week’s theme but luckily, I found from my stash a picture of the Philippine flag…the flag of my motherland. This was taken at Club Manila East, one perfect summer afternoon of June 2007.
Anyway, I’ll just share a few tidbits about our flag that I remember from my History class. The symbolism includes:
White triangle – equality and fraternity
The blue field – peace, truth and justice
The red field – patriotism and valor
8 primary rays of the sun – the first eight provinces that sought independence from Spain and were placed under martial law by the Spaniards at the start of the Philippine Revolution in 1896.
3 stars – three major geographical divisions of the country: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
