New York! Concrete Jungle that Dreams are Made Of!

2012-09-03T11:30:00.001-07:00

When I visited the US, my first stop was in New York City. My purpose to visit New York was not to fulfill my american dream that I ever dreamt when I was a kid but I purposely visited New York to meet my Mom's sister who lived there whom I didn't met since I was born. Thank God I had the opportunity to visit them and met them in person. For me, it was a great fulfillment not just for myself but for my Mom who's now in heaven. For sure she's very happy of what I had experienced.

Visiting the Historical Dam

2012-08-31T21:39:00.001-07:00

Hoover Dam spans the Colorado River in Black Canyon between Arizona and Nevada, some 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas Nevada. Constructed in the 1930s, the concrete arch-gravity structure was intended to prevent flooding as well as provide much-needed irrigation and hydroelectric power to arid regions of states like California and Arizona. It was originally known as Boulder Dam, but was renamed in 1947 in honor of Herbert Hoover, who as U.S. secretary of commerce and the 31st U.S. president proved instrumental in getting the dam built. At 726 feet high and 1,244 feet long, Hoover Dam was one of the largest man-made structures in the world at the time of its construction, and one of the world's largest producers of hydroelectric power.

When I visited Las Vegas in May, 2012, I experienced the most ambitious, commanding water feature ever conceived!

Bellagio's world-famous fountains will speak to your heart with opera, classical and whimsical music while flirting with your playful nature through their carefully choreographed movements.

I was really swept away by the breathtaking union of water, music and light. There are timings for the water show starting in the afternoon till evening.

My First Visit in Dubai, UAE

2012-08-28T02:18:00.004-07:00

After four years in the GCC region, in 2011 that was the only time that I have stepped up in Dubai, UAE since my company sent me to Dubai for 6 days training in Level 4 Food Safety. Since I was free on Friday at that time, I spent time the whole day discovering Dubai. First was my shopping in Dubai Mall of Emirates with my ex-colleagues Randy and Peter and followed by a complimentary Dessert Safari courtesy of Randy Santos, our Chief Concierge at InterContinental Doha. That was really an unforgettable experience in Dubai that I would really cherish for a lifetime.

Flora in Dallas Botanical Garden

2012-08-27T21:52:00.002-07:00

RFlowers are one of my favorite subject. I was so rewarded when I visited Dallas when Rhosie and David took me to Dallas Botanical Garden where I was overwhelmed on different flora species in the garden. I never missed any chance and took them a picture. Although, I have no idea yet on what's the proper camera settings for my Nikon D90 in taking flowers outdoor but I just click and click and here they are ! I just simply love it!

A Night of Photography in Doha

One night, my photography buddies - Maribel and Ryan decided to go out and take pictures of the Museum of Islamic Art and Doha Skyline to practice our skills in Night Photography. Unfortunately, I couldn't take much photos at that time as I don't have my own tripod so these all I got at that night.

Wandering in Ayala Center,Cebu

After exploring Bohol last July 17 - 21, I had a stop over in Cebu City to meet my high school friends. Julie and I had a shopping at Ayala Center Cebu and found this group of health conscious Cebuanos doing exercises right beside the mall.

One of the Oldest Church in the Philippines

2012-08-24T10:42:00.004-07:00

Bohol has a number of very old churches, dating back to the early years of the Spanish colonization of the island. During our trip to Bohol, it was so great to see and took a photo of one of the oldest church in the Philippines – the Church of our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon. It is one of the best preserved Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church.
