Time Is On My Side

The Manila City Hall

 

My sister and I visited the historic Intramuros last December. We were rushing to go to Ocean Park when I remembered it would be fine to take a photo of this well-known landmark in Manila. I used to work for a local newspaper located inside Intramuros and so this is a familiar sight.

I asked my sister to wait a second as I stole a moment to take this shot. It just so happened that when I clicked the shutter it was exactly 12 noon. Serendipity? I didn’t know until I cropped the photo. =)

 

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

The Sun Is The Limit

Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

~ JOSHUA 10:12, KJV
