Jingle Balls

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh




Hey! Today is September 1. The begining of the "ber" months as we Filipinos put it and our indication that christmas is fast approaching! Yey!

A Duck For All Seasons

Camera shy? Not this one. This duck literally stopped and stood still while I was taking this shot. I bet he'll give Donald a run for his money.

XXX Marks The Spot

Going to the red light district was not really part of our itinerary in Amsterdam. Actually, even if we wanted to go there, we would not know where to go because this place is not marked anywhere on the map that we have. We were already about the leave the city and were on our way back to the train station when we accidentally stumbled upon this place and whoa! was it a shock.

A Ghost Tree



Reaching out towards the vast sea,

The life-long struggle of this tree.

Would it be comforting to know,

Its spirit now flies to and fro?




This is one of the sights seen along the 17 mile drive in Monterey, CA.

The Wheel Of Fate



Do you believe in fate? Well, I do...

As Close As It Gets



This was as nearest I ever got to the Eiffel Tower. Too bad, I was not able to climb it and could not yet say that I have conquered the most well-known monument in Europe.

Roaming At Night



A view of the Tiber River and St. Peter's Basilica at night. Although I had a slight buzz due to the half bottle of red wine I drank during dinner, I still realized that Rome is a wonderful place to explore even without daylight.

Windmills At Sundown



Windmills are a usual sight along some of the freeways in California. I was fascinated by their silhouettes during sunset so I just had to capture it.

Pointing To Heaven



The National Monument in Amsterdam. A phallic symbol? Not really. I learned somewhere that this structure was built to commemorate their World War II victims.

A Sight Of Me



This was my very first attempt on a mirror project of sorts. Directly behind me is a view of Yosemite National Park's Half Dome.

Make A Wish



Probably one of the funnest parts in a kid's birthday party is the blowing of the candle. This shot was taken last weekend during my nephew's birthday celebration.

A Bloom In The Sky



There's no better way of ending your fun-filled day at Enchanted Kingdom than watching their fireworks display. Watch the lights as they take on different colors and forms.

One Sweet Day



A long trail through the fields of Bugnay, Ilocos Sur was the path towards my grandfather's final resting place. The sky was clear, not a single cloud in sight. Good thing there were occasional mango trees and small huts along the way to temporarily shade us from the intense heat of the sun.

Better Than Pegi



A trip to Belgium would never be complete without eating their famous waffles. All I can say is that they were really yummy!

The Sun and The Louvre



It was already late when we reached the Louvre Museum but it was just in time to witness a beautiful sunset.

Surreal But Nice



I took this picture from inside the car on our way back to Las Vegas from Grand Canyon.
