State of Mind…New York City

It was raining the whole time that we were in New York…from the time we arrived until we rode the bus going back to Boston, the shower was non-stop. The excitement was somehow reduced as it was very inconvenient to move from one place to the other. But the experience still remains memorable.

Not everyone felt the same but I think New York is worth revisiting. Yes, the subway was quite disappointing…reminded me of our own Quiapo underpass but in way it added character to the already colorful city of New York.

A heart left in SAN FRANCISCO

Our US vacation ended almost three months ago, but memories are fresh as though it was just yesterday.

San Francisco is one of the places in my mind…the experience of being in this place really made me want to leave a piece of my heart.

Every place we were fortunate enough to have visited had its own charm…and San Francisco has a character of its own…

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.
