Lotus_in_Sampalok_LakeA great man once said, "Be a lotus." Which means, no matter how ugly, how evil, and how sinful everyone around you might become, do not allow yourself to be stained.  A lotus remains beautiful even as it lingers in the filthy waters of the pond.  Don't be contaminated, do not be influenced by worthless means, remain radiant among the shadows of darkness.  Be a lotus.  It has to start with one, to fill the pond with more.

PureGold as of 2008-10-11 PDF Print E-mail

SPC_PureGold_asof_20081011This is the current status of PureGold in San Pablo City.  The building's shell is getting along nicely and it's coming out larger than I initially expected it to be.  It looks like it's not only going to be wider, it's also going to be longer inside!  Imagine if you only want a couple pieces of lemon (for that essential squeeze of the tangy zest needed for your rack of rib roast), you'd have to go all the way to the back of that where the fresh produce are, and then you'd have to walk all the way out again.  Maybe they'll let shoppers use roller skates or at least those kids' shoes with the wheels on the heels, some of those fit my feet.

Note:  If you think the building is a bit tilted or skewed, it's not really.  It's just that my low-grade photo-editting skills are not up to par with the rest of them, yet.
