Little Corner of the World




While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and water, and day and night shall not cease ...

(Genesis, 8:22, The Bible)


There is peace in everyone's mind. There is solitude in everyone's quiet moments. There is solace when you need it. Deep inside ourselves, there is that force that brings us back to reminisce the distances that our minds have travelled and wandered. Recollections become important factors as we travel much further. If we fail to remember, the past is forgotten, and who knows they link to something we know they are primordial? We uncover the days when we were young as far as we can remember. Other memories of our childhood just disappeared. We seem to recall or remember those unfavorable experiences we had, but not those that went smooth and favorable. We remember the fights we had to protect our toys, or to show that we were tough but beaten. All these are part of growing up.


WELCOME to SunShine Village, a place where there is peace and harmony. You will experience the simple lifestyle of the villagers, but plays important role in the society they live --- a closer look at the life of the people whose livelihood is farming.

SunShine Village is my birthplace. I was born in one of these little grass houses under the hands of a village midwife one rainy dawn. I was an ordinary kid playing with other kids. I've harvested rice under the torturing heat of the sun, but enjoyed it, as there were competitions among my brothers and sister, and earn more money the more you can harvest. I gathered tobacco leaves from the fields in hot summer days, then prepared them for drying processing. I planted rice in rainy days and shivered when it got colder. I gathered firewoods from the forests and carried them on my back for couples of miles. I hunted birds and wild animals with my father.

I must have learned life from my childhood experiences to really work hard and make work as fun even how hard it is. It surely helped me to survive when life is rough and hard. Everytime I visit this village, I spend it in a way appreciating every little thing it has to offer. I remember the spiders we caught at dusk and the next day we let them fight and the loser all wrapped around with spiderwebs.
