Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Movies| Goyo, The Boy General

by Gilian, in category Reflections, Thoughts

Finally found time to watch Goyo, The Boy General. General Gregorio Del Pilar (Goyo) in… Read More

Journal/Planner 2020

by Gilian, in category Art, Crafts, Creative Writing, Journal, Thoughts

DIY customizable planner/journal. I’m more of the journaling type, and I’ve used planners in the past, mostly for journaling ideas, reflections, writing topics, etc. What would usually happen is that I’d use up all the pages of the planners before the year even ends. 3 months to be exact. Thus, loosing track of all the… Read More

Jeddah | Random Shots

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Photography, Saudi Arabia, Wonders

Lately, I’ve been out on Saturday mornings and I got a pretty view of the city in the morning. As usual, I would take some shots mostly while in a moving vehicle. This is one of the mosques in Balad, Jeddah. I remember there was a fire somewhere near this mosque before, maybe that is… Read More

Discipline

by Gilian, in category Journal, Thoughts, Words

Discipline. We don’t see it that often anymore. From following street lights to waiting for our turn in a queue, one sees who is disciplined and who is not. From the moment we wake up to the time we lie down in the evening, we can pinpoint the things that we do where we lack… Read More

Random| Streets, Satchels, and Swimming areas

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Thoughts, Wonders

Jeddah streets have less people before the breaking of the fast during Ramadan (around 6-7pm).😃 It has been a long time since I walked with my family outside because of the weather in Saudi Arabia, of course. The other day, we decided to walk to our friend’s house because our car was not with us… Read More

As Canon Sees It + Inspiring Kids of the Future

by Gilian, in category Family, Thoughts, Women, Words, Youth

EARLY DREAMS I was at a friend’s house and saw this National Geographic magazine. I remembered how I used to read it. It was actually National Geographic’s Wildlife As Canon Sees It page that opened my appreciation for nature and photography. As a kid, I used to dream of having a Canon camera because of this. 😂 I also… Read More

2018 | Middle of the Year

by Gilian, in category Thoughts

Life is happening at a fast-paced speed lately that I feel the need to slow down, think things through and just enjoy and embrace everything that is coming my way. School Kids started schooling two months ago. The morning adjustments of waking up earlier than the usual are by now, hopefully have been mastered or… Read More

Jeddah| Summer All the Way!

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Photography, Thoughts

It is so hot -can I say, scorching (?) in Saudi Arabia lately. As in hot. When you go to the car, you can’t even immediately sit down. You have to either let the car get cool inside for about a minute or two or leave it open for awhile until all that heat say goodbye.… Read More

The Woman in the Balcony

by Gilian, in category Creative Writing, Women, Wonders

Standing in the balcony, there she stood looking as far as she could. I was stuck in traffic when I saw this old lady in the second floor of her house. She was running her weakly wrinkled fingers just below her jaw, gently brushing her fingertips down her neck while in deep thoughts. She seemed… Read More
