My mom once told me I was a keen observer. I tend to notice little things that people tend to overlook. I get amazed with phenomenons that are too typical and normal for other people to appreciate. 
Yesterday, I rode a jeep from the mall during sunset. I love riding jeepeneys. I love it when the wind caresses my face even if it gets my hair all tangled. I prefer jeepneys than taxis. I love feeling the wind and breathing the air, although a bit polluted, but still more satisfying than the synthetic air polluted with air freshener that are made my airconditioned taxis. Sometimes, when I get too attached to the feeling, I close my eyes and think of how beautiful life is. Then at that moment in the jeepney, I realized: the air is our only free basic need left. We need to pay for water supply, pay for our shelter and buy our food and clothing. So there I was, abusing the free air like it's my only means of surviving. 
I know you may think I'm silly. But when did you ever appreciate the air that you breathe? Do you even thank God that you're still given the oxygen to inhale? 
In that short jeepney ride, I have appreciated many things. When I passed by the bridge and saw how the clear water of the river mirrored the beautiful light of the sunset, I smiled. I wished I brought Noaz (my camera) with me to capture such beauty. I've never seen the sun that beautiful. And then I thought, how many people in the world were joining me at that moment, watching the sunset and admiring it? Probably not even a half of the world's population. 
If I had Noaz with me, I would've just walked home and took a photo of every corner I see. The reason that I take photos of the world is that, when the time comes that Mother Earth has been abused too much, I have proofs and evidences that once--no, many times-- in my life, I have witnessed the beauty of the world before it was even ruined by the people who were supposed to take care of it.
