Me, again

Warning: This concerns only BBC, not Shakespeare. There is something about the English language that is both calming and unnerving at the same time. You see, people seem to revel at its greatness, regardless. Just look at BBC for instance.

I am shocked to learn of this as I wanted to chat with him again, check up on him and just look at his paintings but now suddenly couldn't. The next best thing to do is to save his shared pictures of orchids, flowers, fruits, vegetables, birds, etc all endemic to the Philippine islands we both know and love (him more than I); collage them as they are aplenty and post them here for posterity and reference.
