The White Carabao and other missed opportunities.

Ever had that feeling where you wanted to beat yourself up for not taking the time an missing a big opportunity?
Today I took a drive to Tuguegarao to deliver medical equipment for Batanes.
I had Virgil (one of my distributors) along with me for the ride.
And then I saw a white carabao.
And I didn't even take the time to pull over, grab a camera and take a few shots of a rare animal.
Until now I'm wondering how many hits having a good picture would bring me on my Triond, Mylot, Hubpages, and all the othe places I could've posted it in
I had 3 image capturing devices and not even the good sense to stop and take a pic. Arghhh
An image that could've drove a bit more traffic into my sites and I didn't take it.
So friends, if you ever spot an opportunity, whatever it may be, stop, look and listen. And think about it. Regrets last longer than stopping for an introduction to a great opportunity.
Don't let a white carabao pass you by.

Such is life. We all lose out and make bad decisions. Things go by so fast in this life that sometimes we can't keep up. Hopefully we learn from our mistakes and we stop and take the picture the next time. It is up to us as to our priorities and what we do and don't do.

I will never miss that chance (if ever)
I guess even if I am riding a bus or a jeep heading to that place (yes, Tuguegarao) and happens to saw that rare animal...
I will surely ask the driver to stop for a while (goodness) I've seen searching for that (hehehe)
Kidding aside- white carabao is very rare...

Wow, a white carabao? I haven't seen one yet. What could be the reason it was white? All the carabaos I've seen are black/gray, and if I happen to see a white one, I would surely stop and take a picture. Nice share :)
