New banners for my 3 blogs

I have made new banners for my 3 blogs and the following were my thoughts about each of the illustrations I have made.

For-you and isay-is a drawing of our national flag in 3 background colors which represents sunrise. daytime and sunset. I remember a lot of good memories standing on a flag ceremony since I have started school. A flag for me-will always symbolizes nationalism, solidarity, harmony, peace and love for country. Below is a brief history of the filipino flag.

The Filipino flag has an interesting story. It was made in Hongkong by Mrs. Marcela de Agoncillo, wife of Don Felipe Agoncillo.
During his exile in Hongkong, General Aguinaldo designed the flag as it looks today. Mrs. Marcela de Agoncillo sewed it with the help of her daughter Lorenza and Mrs. Josefina Herbosa de Natividad(niece of Dr. Jose Rizal). It was made of silk with a white triangle at the left containing a sunburst of eight rays at the center, a five pointed star at each angle of the triangle, an upper stripe of dark blue, and a lower stripe of red. The white triangle stands for equality; the upper blue stripe for peace, truth and justice; and the lower red stripe for patriotism and valor. The sunburst of eight rays inside the triangle represented the first eight provinces that took up arms against Spain. The three stars symbolized Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The flag which Mrs. Agoncillo made in Hongkong was taken to the Philippines by General Aguinaldo. It was hoisted officially at Kawit on June 12, 1898, in connection with the proclamation of Philippine independence. From that date, it has served as the National Flag of the Filipinos. The Philippines: A Unique Nation. Dr. Sonia M. Zaide

For-ang aking hardin- are illustrations of swans in the lake. They have become my favorite scenery everytime I go to the waterfront in the park some meters away where I live. It makes me get in touch with my feelings surrounded by the beauty of nature.

For-meaningful undertakings are some images of people in boats floating or sailing in the water going out in the sea. It represents my feelings about people and life and how we experience the changes in the world. I would like to elaborate or rather enhanced this drawing later on when I have the time.

About Me

Name: isay

In my dream, I am dreaming like a dreamer.... everything is all about you and me and the world we live in. It is not a perfect world and it's very difficult most of the time, but we manage to reach out, even see and experience things positively most of the time. Life passes us by so quickly, and every chance we get-we try harder to make it work- because life is beautiful and so were YOU and I.
