To Every Thing There is a Season

The sunset picture was taken from the 2nd floor of SM Baguio (Pines Hotel was formerly located here), 6:00 pm, 2017 June 30. The the temperature was surprisingly hot as the sun sets in the western horizon.

As I recall ... back in time ... when Pines Hotel stood here;

   We went to the hotel's restaurant to play chess;
   Learned to swim at the pool;
   Played video game at the basement.
Then evil spirit visited the place...
   No more video games at the basement ...
   It was converted into a casino ...
   ... a sink drain were money can be flushed out.
   ... as fast as you can read the cards.
The wind of change blew the place;
   Smoke covers the basement fast;
   The high rise building becomes the tower of inferno.
There goes the place were we used to play chess;
   The chess tables were we used to play
   ... were gone ...
   ... but in my memories ...
   ... it lives forever.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
King James Version (KJV)

1. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6. A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
