Capturing the moment

A Cebu Pacific Airbus A320 hovers accross the golden backdrop of a darkening Manila sky as a diminishing sun, weary and pink, prepares to retire and call it a day, while at the same time usher the gathering dusk.

Oldest functioning train?

There is an antiquated train that still traverses the major thoroughfares in Metro Manila.The train is one of the main mode of transport by commuters who live outside the Metropolis, like Laguna province.I think this rickety train is of world war II vintage.

Everytme it passes through a main street like Sen. Gil Puyat Ave., the motor vehicles are stoped by two bamboo poles. Everytime I pass this area, I feel swallowed into a time warp that takes me decades back.

One of the dangers of Metro Manila streets is the frequency of vehicular mishaps.

While on my way back to Makati from a hearing in Paranaque, I wondered why the traffic along Sucat road, heading towards the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) suddenly became heavy.

I later learned there was another vehicular accident between a Nissan Sentra and a cargo truck.

Vehicle mishaps like this have become a common sight in Metro Manila streets.

Metro Manila is perhaps one of the most dangerous streets.

I feel the policy is "to each his own". No one follows the street lanes.

The solution is to always drive defensively.

Golden sunrise...resurrection

I have been frustrated because I couldn't post pictures in my blog, simply because i don't know how. I'll try to post in today's blog....

...There you go! Whew!!!

So easy, I'm so dumb.

I just clicked on that button up there which says "Add image"

I do upload pictures at yahoo, but the size of the pictures in yahoo is limited. In other words, if your pictures are heavy, like more than 1 MB, yahoo may not send it.

So what I do, when sending pictures through yahoo, is to reduce the size of the picture file by going to Adobe photoshop first.

But I guess here in the blog, there is no limit?

Any way, I have just successfully posted (for the very first time) the magnificent golden sunrise in Dumaguete City, Philippines, specifically at the Silliman beach.

I took this, and other "sunrise pictures" last Easter Sunday, just about a little before 6 a.m. while we were about to cross the Tanon straight in going to Sumilon island. What a way to celebrate Christ's resurrection!

I can connect the golden sunrise with Jesus' rising from the dead.

This is God's gift. As I view the pictures I have taken, I am amazed at the wonder of God's creation. I'll stop talking, and start posting.......
