I was at the supermarket and while picking veggies for dinner, i felt a sudden urge to take photos of the colorful trays. I used my Sony Ericsson K850i mobile phone and methinks at 5mpixels, its fair enough.

According to Feng Shui. The luck we’re born with is the Heaven Luck, we cannot do anything about this but greatly influences our lives. Man Luck describes the “Law of Karma”, all things

When summer sneaks in with a bang (at 28 deg C!), you couldn't wait for the rainy days to come. And yet visions of mojitos and afternoon siestas by the beach make you wish for more. Yes, hammock siestas under the tree with cool sea breeze tickling your toes and refreshing your face. I wouldn't trade my lazy barefoot weekends for rainy days. And yet - something about global warming reminds me

Staring at the photograph of the door, i thought of the events that it witnessed during the centuries of Spanish regime. The banging of the door of the oppressed people seeking sanctuary during the civil war and revolutions, the happy mood during fiesta, the Sunday Mass in Latin, bribery and treachery of the Spaniards and Filipinos alike, the shout of victory...If only the walls and doors could

Its 10 am and looking out from the window, the sun is casting its cheerful glow reminding us of gentle summer breeze under the coconut trees, blue water, white sands, yoga, massages, bikini, sun blocks, margaritas and party nights..... Ahhh! Summer time! Back to reality and i find myself under the glaring fluorescent light, monitor staring back at me, a cup of java (2nd for the day),

This morning, the weather bureau announced that summer is officially here.They don’t need to tell us that – the heat is obvious enough for anybody to announce that SUMMER is here. Oh well, back to casual dress work days. Office fashion will be a cross between resort wear and weekend dress. So that means all my black clothes will be shoved behind the closet at the moment until the rainy

Before Ferdinand Magellan first set his foot on the shores of Cebu more than 400 years ago, the Chinese and Arabs were already trading partners of the locals. And the present Cebuanos social and cultural heritage is actually a fusion of Filipino-Chinese-Spanish influences. And Cebu is proud of its Chinese heritage and even considered our small city a huge Chinatown. Perhaps, one of the

It was only January, the weather should be nippy but the heat was scorching and yet despite that it didn’t take away the spirit of revelry. Some henna tattoo, a whistle and a colorful hat made it more fun and exciting! Last year, same festival, I took this photo of a man with many hatsand this year, I can't resist but take a photo similar to it. Sinulog Festival – January 21, 2007.

Just when I am starting to enjoy the cold weather at the end of January, I blinked and suddenly found myself looking for vacation packages to Europe just to escape the heat.

According to the ancient symbolism, the circle is the universal symbol of unity and perceived as the female power or feminine spirit/force, the Mother Earth. It also means the cycle of life, thus death and rebirth. Interesting.... a signal from cosmos must have triggered my inner mind to START this blog again.

Cebu is famous for handcrafted guitars with inlaid shells which can be compared to the best in the world. You can find these craftsmen in Maribago, Mactan island but if you're a regular here in Cebu, you will spy some of them in Lapu- Lapu City. Shown here is a bar owner's collection. The owner makes custom guitars called HARANA - mind you, not very cheap guitar but its worth your money.

Cebu City nightlife is shaking things up with chic events, new places and hot parties to keep the good times rolling through the rainy season until the much-anticipated ASEAN summit. And yes, Christmas, which actually starts when the "ber" months come in... and of course, the Sinulog festival in January.

I love my salon days... hair cut, manicure, foot spa.... I always feel refreshed after "the works". I love the warm reflection of the light. The yellow wall makes it even brighter and warmer. Call me vain, but I love my reflection on the mirror, its flattering. Actually, that’s the reason why I love this place. My companion took this; can you guess where I am?

I'm really, really swamped with projects - it seems everybody wants to

Though not the usual tropical sunshiney kind of way but warm enough for some refreshing buco (coconut). Have a

Cozy isn't?Especially on rainy days... all you need is a pot of warm tea, relaxing background music and a good book... a perfect rainy day!One of the nice places I never miss to visit every weekend is Cagnaan Bookstore in Banilad Town Center. This place is a treasure! I love books, in fact, if I'm in malls we spend more time in bookstores (and restaurants!) than in department stores . My favorite

I thought i could post this for July 25... I got problems uploading the image so instead of posting it for yesterday, i skipped a day!The blogger site is giving me a headache as it was too slow loading images. It's weird but the past few days, it was really slooooow - it took....20...40 minutes to upload this image.This building is the Ayala-FGU Center located in Cebu Business Park. Its one of

At the heart of Cebu City is the premier mall, Ayala Center Cebu where this little paradise is located. It is a place where friends and families meet for afternoon coffee and catch up on each others lives. This is our Friday afternoon place, it is where friends usually go for dinner, watch movie, shop or simply sit in café and watch people and make up stories. :P

This shot was taken from the car, i took at least three fast shutters and I think this is the best angle i got for this particular subject while in a moving car. Its one of the old houses in a little southern town called Barili. it was our first time to pass that area, so the houses were totally unexpected. If i've known that they have these treasures i could've spent more time here.Along the

I want to divert my attention from the depressing news on cable, so i decided to go to one of the nice beaches near the city and try to look for interesting subjects for my blog. Unfortunately, as we approach the Liloan Lighthouse - the weather suddenly changed... I thought its gonna be sunshiney day today! Instead of a nice light, we got imposing rain clouds and that did not give justice to

this time, let's take a moment to reflect and pray for all the people who are directly affected by war, natural disasters and diseases. I only pray for three Hope, Peace and Love. Sounds too far out but at the moment, i feel thats what we really need. God bless.

The Grand Sinulog Parade features the different faces of Cebuanos. These gentle, cheerful people of my "adopted" city are known all over the world as industrious and talented performers.When you go to a hotel, bar or board luxury cruise ships and you hear a great band performing, chances are these performers are Filipinos and most probably in a group of 7 band members 3 or 4 are Cebuanos. :)

My laptop zonked out on me a couple of days ago and that cost me two precious days of work. I was researching for some articles when it gave me the blue- ghost- of- death screen. I desperately backed up all my files, fortunately all files are safe now... whew! But then, i need to format it and re-install everything.Anyway, as promised, i will post pictures of the festival parade. I thought I

Might as well give it to WOW Philippines so that they can use it for Sinulog promotion.

For this week, I will feature a series of Cebu portraits - at least show you glimpses of the many faces of Cebuanos. Rainy season just started in this little tropical country and the sun isn't cooperating nowadays. I tried yesterday but the photos were not exactly what i had in mind. So, here's one from my archives. The man is watching a parade of floats and dancers as reflected on his

These amazing creatures were grouped together when some kids found it. They are so fascinating! The sharpness of the color made it more attractive.I did not give justice to the color as I'm still a newbie taking photographs -- tried working on it on Photoshop but I've got to learn a lot before i can get the desired effect. I would really love to learn a few things on photo editing -- its just

A morning stroll along the beach, you'll find fishermen hurrying back with their catch. I like this small banca because of its sail. The orange sail stood out in the bright morning sun and the blue water.The mountain range at the background is the Negros Island. The night before, we saw a huge fire on the mountain top and I felt an incredible sadness thinking of the precious wildlife devoured

One of the oldest churches in the Philippines. Boljoon Church is situated in the southern part of Cebu Island. It was built by Spaniards in the year 1599. The church is facing the sea thus the weather-beaten look. Some groups, like SM Cebu (notice the HUGE billboard), help in the restoration of historical landmarks like Boljoon Church. Might help if they remove that billboard.

(Guess where ... please read my previous post)After a day of walking and spending hard-earned cash, my achy feet and grumbling stomach brought us to a nearby "republic" with a view of the famous shopping road. A nice bowl of Kimchi noodles and some dumplings completed my day. YUM!Pardon my shots, i used my phone cam thus its a bit grainy.

Lately, my idea of “international jet-setting” is visiting my fellow City DP blogs and traveling incognito means using my Second Life name M. Stindberg. This sad admission is a reflection of what I’ve been doing for the past months. Don’t get me wrong – I love all your wonderful blogs but my computer/internet usage exceeded “me” time, with a logon period averaging 95 hours a week. No wonder I
