    bahala na

    bahala na: a Filipino philosophy that goes deeper then” come what may or leave it to faith”; it encompasses a belief that the elements will provide, karma will return the favor and you will get what is coming to you.

    Project #1 will be about 10' at the base and 5'-8' tall... carving into the bamboo like my ancestors did. The base will be altered logos from various business is... Can I have permission to apply your companies logo or family name?
