Sweeter than Corn
Some delightful surprises from a travel also arise alongside the road when you least expect it. I was taking pictures of the corns being sold at the road side stands in Silang Tagaytay when i noticed a little girl peeping through the pile of corns. She was hiding from the back. She looked shy, but she was smiling and looked oh so cute.
‘Halika sama ka sa picture.’ The smile grew bigger and bigger and before i knew it, she was right in front of the corn stand, striking a pose for a photo shoot.
It is one of the most unforgettable shots i have taken during my vacation in the Philippines in February of 2009. As a matter of fact, i made the photo one of my profile pictures in Facebook. I thought i have captured a lot in the frame. The sweet corns, beauty, innocence, calm and happiness despite poverty.
To this date, the picture still makes me smile.
