US trip – first day

It was in a way a dream come true for me and wife. We were able to have a vacation in the US despite work and financial considerations and not to mention, a medical emergency.

There was so much anticipation for this trip. Some family members are in the US and a chance to meet them would indeed be memorable. Never in my wildest dream did I see myself with my mother and two of my sisters in another country, considering our simple living in the province decades ago. I guess, one can really never tell.

By the way, here are some of the photos I took on our first morning in the US. This was in Onset, Massachusetts, where we stayed to celebrate my sister-in-law’s wedding.

Fly

There are times when you just want to fly…just like a hot air balloon. To be free from gravity’s pull… to escape from earth even for a few seconds…

This photo was taken at Disneyworld, Florida.

Souvenir

from Boracay

Niagara Falls at Night

A lot have seen Niagara Falls at day time…so a shot of the falls at night is something fresh to the eyes.

This was taken from our US trip last year.

One of the highlights of said trip was this Niagara Falls tour. We actually went to the New York side of the Falls.

Spectacular… the one word i cant think of right now to describe the place.

yummy

The best tasting omelette for me…from Real Coffee Boracay Island, Philippines

If I’m not mistaken, it’s Jack Omelette.

White Crosses

This place had its share of controversies when people reacted to a prenuptial pictorial purportedly mocking the sanctity of the place… a disrespectful act of sorts for the peaceful souls resting beneath the grasses of the memorial park…

Guimaras

This photo was from our last year trip to Guimaras…It was our first time to be in the island. Memorable experience as basically we were the only persons in the resort (the name somehow skipped my mind, old age, I suppose), so ultimate privacy indeed.

We went from Boracay to Guimaras and I think Guimaras has its own charm…and also worth visiting…truly it’s more fun in the Philippines

Revive

I’m planning to post again in this blog. A revival of sorts…

Soon.

Of D-Tags, Singlets and Running Bibs

What’s keeping me busy these past few days???

Running

There’s a certain feel every time a race is finished even if practically you sometimes end up to be one of the last persons to reach the finish line..

and a few life lessons come in hand like not giving up through rough roads and hard times …and things like that.

The downside of a nice accommodation …

Forgive me, I’m still preoccupied by our trip last December.

The experience is indeed bitin., having to stay in Bangkok for only a day. As I said, a day would certainly be not enough. Moreso, being bilited in a nice hotel was an additional letdown. Imagine being torn between the idea of staying inside a comfortable room, sleeping and relaxing and going outside and savor the place you visited for the first time…

Truly, Oakwood – Apartments at Sukhumvit, Bangkok provided one of the best accommodations we experienced so far…topnotch customer service, clean room, comfy bed with sheets of gazillion thread counts. Given the chance to come back to Bangkok, it’s a must for us to book in this place again.
