It was been another exhilarating weekend for me as I went back to Iloilo for the Dinagyang festival … this time I was assigned to Stage 4 compared to last year I was at the Freedom grandstand … Stage 4 is the Iznart street just in front of Iloilo Grand Hotel where mostly all of the TravelPhotographer.ph members checked-in, including dadi.Anton, Tok, Takoy, and Rosalie whom I’ve already met when we were in Bacolod during the Masskara festival … I’m also thankful because through this festival, I was able to meet new friends like Dindin, Levi, Allan, and Benj … also Dan Amular and his lovely wife

I just recently found this video and it really touched our hearts … I can’t help but to post it so that others might learn from a 13 year-old boy, Logan who lives on a ranch in a very small town in Nebraska. Logan listens to radio station 89.3FM KSBJ which broadcasts from Houston, TX. Logan called the radio station distraught because he had to take down a calf . His words have wisdom beyond his years.

yep, you heard me right … a late post dahil the following pics were taken from Malou’s cam and looks like been ages na it wasn’t downloaded at naiiipon lng, hehehe

anyway, pics were from Bacolod last December and it was kewl to have gone out with Malou drinking coffee at Cafe Bob’s and eating a Napoli pizza which is tasty on a thin crust so its not heavy … and we also ate at a Japs resto, Yakiniku’s (or something) … ain’t advisable for the very hungry people as you’ll have to cook your food before eating, hehehe … and we’re glad we ordered a big maki to spicen-up before the meal

last December I lost my iPAQ phone and we’re all searching for it and the last thing I remember I went to a gasoline station before going to Malou’s house … to make the long story short, somebody found my phone, called our home, and informed that I could pick it up the next morning at the Shell gasoline station … I was very happy with the thought that there are still people who are honest and going out of their way to return it back to you … kudos to Shell station in Tangub!!!

upon looking at the phone, no doubt that it was run over by a car but I was really glad that the internal integrity of the phone were pretty much working perfectly … few scratches on the side and cracks beneath it but still serves the purpose just the same … the Capdase metal casing I bought were damaged but it serves its purpose very much … kudos to Capdase, weeeh!!!

minor cracks on my iPAQ

after the Caracol festival, I turned my eyes to the wonderful sight of Ayala Museum and took several pics while were still free to click the shutter … FREE TO CLICK!!! yep, you heard me right … I really dunno what the heck is wrong in taking a pic of such wonderful sight and share it with your love ones or to others that they may see our beautiful country AND NOT SOMETHING TO BE SCARED OF!!!

yesterday the city government of Makati, through its Museum and Cultural Affairs Office (MCAO) celebrated the Caracol Festival 2008 which was considered as the city’s unique version of the Mardi Gras. Though it was staged at Goldcrest but Malou and I together with several friends decided to stay at the Ayala Museum to get a glimpse of the said festival and take pics..

Tipoy celebrated his birthday last Thursday, January 10. Since it was a week day, I had him for the day. Hehehe. His family would be celebrating it with him this coming weekend.

It was a semi-binge day with lunch at North Park and dinner at Chili’s. Too bad there wasn’t any cake with a candle around but perhaps the crispy noodles would do ….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!

Cheers to the year that passed and a toast to the coming year!
