Personal Update, and some Travel Photography: Kuala Lumpur

Image
First off, I'd like to apologize to those who actually read my blog and visit it from time to time to check on where I've gotten to on two wheels. A lot has happened since my last Motorcycle Photo Diary entry that has led to me making the most of my off-days but not necessarily on the Honda Wave. Sorry for that. Trying out a new layout courtesy of blogger's new Design tab. If anyone reads this, leave a comment in the comment section (on the actual blog preferably and in the facebook cross-post). Picture window, the theme is called. I'll think about how long I'm going to keep it that way. For those of you who don't already know, I've spent the last two weeks of July in KL, on a semi-vacation, slash (yes I typed it out as a word) experiencing the TPC-KL lifestyle, meeting new friends, eating new food (photos in a blog entry to follow), going places and getting lost commuting around the city.    Spent the first day off doing a half day city tour. Photos av...

PP: Tuesday Motorcycle Diary >> A different road home (with some food photos ARMY NAVY burger and burritos)

Image
I apologize for not being able to be as regular as I'd want to be with regard to updating the blog and with the Tuesday Motorcycle photo diary. Life happened. Work happened. Oh well. I was, however, able to ride this Tuesday, May 18, 2010. I accompanied my brother to get PNP clearance for his XRM. Didn't take photos there though. It was actually pretty hot, out. A pain to ride around specially mid day. Afterwards I wound up going to the (Picture Company) Podium store, which I once called home, to do some stuff for work. Helped me cool off too. Then made my way to SM North Annex, where I now stay during office hours. While I spent part of the off day partially working, I was still able to treat myself to a good hearty meal at Army Navy, and a different route home. On a friend's recommendation, and in search of a good burger, I tried eating at the Army Navy Burger and Burrito place in the Skygarden of SM North Edsa. Ordered myself a double burger, with additional chees...

Travel Photography: Subic Sweet Water Accomodations

Image
I just thought I'd share some photos I took of some of the accommodations available at Subic Sweet Water resort. Mind you, we didn't get to go around all the villas, just the two main buildings of the resort (hitherto fore called building A, which the building where the kitchen is located, and building B, which is newer and bigger - I think - than the previous) . And even in those buildings, I just took photos of the living areas on the 2nd floors of both buildings. :) Just to give you an idea, basically, you'd be able to pretty much house at least 12 people in each of these rooms (16 in the bigger space in building B) . We wanted to explore some more but the army soldiers occupying the rest of the resort were kinda intimidating. For the original blog entry about Subic Sweet Water, please click here . I apologize in advance for the sucky wide-angle shots. :D I'll take better pictures next time. I promise. :D "Building A" Living Area, building A...

Travel Photography: Subic Sweet Water Beach Resort

Image
I 've previously shared with you several instances of my travels around the Philippines. This is the latest in the series, I guess. Hahaha. I t's summer time, and what better place to go than the beach? Because of insistent public demand (well, more like glowing reviews from beach goers from certain forums) , we decided to go to Subic Sweet Water Beach Resort. And I gotta say, this particular place is probably one of the best beaches I've been to lately, if not one of the best beaches I've been to period . D on't let the name fool you though. It might be called a resort, but it's really not (well, technically it really is but...) . I'd say, it's more of a haven actually. I home away from home, away from all the hustle and bustle and stress that the over-commercialized Subic Bay freeport area represents. It's fine and nearly white sand, it's breath-taking vistas, cool and surprisingly not so salty water (my personal estimation compared to some bea...

Visita Iglesia part 2

Image
Here are a few more noteworthy photos from Maundy Thursday's trip around Manila. Other shots on my FlickR . :) tamad kasi i- post lahat . Hehehe After visiting most of the churches on the list and saying our prayers, we ended up in the parking lot behind the CCP where we sought shade and relief, and ate lunch (and discovered that the CRV actually has a fold out table in back by default). UST church, probably the squarest church ever... Gothic, yes. Rusty too. view from the back, San Sebastian Church Stained Glass Window a Gothic ceiling The Payong in use I remember coming here... but I never realized that it shared the compound with Adamson. Encountered these folks at two churches. UST and at Nstra Sra. de Guia The statue / image encased in glass is oooooooooooold (and miraculous too). Greenest indoor color cast not attributed to fluorescent lighting ever (I think). I should've taken a picture of the doors to this place... last church we visited that day. A reminder to Parishi...
