Thoughts and Flowers: It's More Fun in the Philippines

When winter makes us shiver with cold, and dark clouds seem to impede us from enjoying the day, it is always nice to think of being in a warm place surrounded by the beauty of nature and the heartwarming smiles of the Filipinos. Specially at this time of the year with the gaiety and cheers inspired by the Christmas holiday scenes, and the monsoon season out of the way, fun is almost to be guaranteed when you are in the Philippines. Here are some interesting photos about the Philippines.
