G9 36/365 Shrine of Guadalupe

This is the miraculous Shrine of Guadalupe in Mexico.

I’m flying with friends in a few hours. (Naturally, I’m *still*
packing my stuff.)
I pray that our trips would be safe, uneventful; I pray that everyone
would have a great time and come back in one piece.
God bless our trips :)

P.S. Three days to go before I turn 30. xoxo

G9 33/365 Sun

The sun always makes a unique exit at the end of the day.
Some sunsets are more dramatic, more special than others. This still image, taken through a glass window, is one of those more dramatic, more special exits.

I could have done better in capturing the moment, but I’m still very slow in adjusting my manual settings. (Practice, practice, practice.)

My father’s very old phonograph player was transformed into a mere cabinet.
NTS: I should take a photo of the whole thing!

G9 30/365 Last Full Moon, Year of the Ox

Gorgeous full moon tonight (January 30). This shot was taken from the apartment hallway at 20:49 (GMT +8).

I drew a card twice; I got the King of Wands and 10 of Cups.

According to www.learntarot.com, the cards I drew are best associated to the following words: King of Wands - CREATIVE, INSPIRING, FORCEFUL, CHARISMATIC, BOLD

Ten of Cups - JOY, PEACE, FAMILYThis is the last full moon of the Year of the Ox.

We are two weeks away from the start of the Year of the Tiger.

G9 29/365 Today's Breakfast

It was my first time to make some French toast.
Prepped it last night, baked it at 300 in the morning for 10 mins. Yummy.
I was in a great mood all day.

G9 28/365 Blueberry joy joy

I’m in the mood for a bit of haiku. Here’s somethin’ from my sleepy muse. No promises. Just self-indulgence.

Take away the frosting / And everything it stands for / Nothing left to eat!

G9 27/365 Aliwan Fiesta : Cultural Festival (Dance Competition)

Aliwan Fiesta was first observed in Manila in 2003. It’s a grand parade of representatives from different regions in the country, dressed in their own famous festival/regional costumes. Dancers and Cultural representatives for Dinagyang Festival of Iloilo, Buyogan Festival of Leyte, Panagbenga Festival of Baguio, and many others were all there in the event. 

I only got to watch the parade last year because a friend had heard about it and urged us to see it. He got so excited because it was a great opportunity to “street test” his newly purchased camera. 

Wiki has an entry on Aliwan Fiesta. Follow this link.
