byaheng jeepney

a view from jeepney's passenger seat - manila's main mode of public transportation which i've already featured here and here. this photo was taken along avenida en route to pier.

right now the minimum jeepney fare is 7.50 pesos for the first four kilometers... but there is an ongoing petition to increase the minimum fare to 8.00 pesos

save rice

"save rice, eat spaghetti"

with rice shortage and a possible food shortage looming around the world, its nice to know that the filipino ingenuity and happy nature is still intact. Old Spaghetti House, a local restaurant made this catchy slogan and their servers wear them proud.

Well i really hope that the rice shortage aint true as what the news and the government is saying, rice is the staple food of filipinos and most asians... and i know i cant live without rice! how about you?

300

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. ~ Albert Einstein

world pyro olympics 2008


First night of the world pyro olympics 2008, this is the 3rd year of this spectacular event - a pyrotechnic display from different countries for the duration of twenty (20) minutes - and it is being held in the Philippines, at the Esplanade behind the Mall of Asia to be exact. There are less crowd today compared to last year, not sure if because it rained tonight or because the event was postponed for like the nth time.


Was late for tonights show, thought the pyrotechnic display will start at 9pm as it was last year but the show started earlier, 7:30pm for the first country and then the next display was at 9:00pm. Tonight's show was presented by China and Germany respectively, this particular photo is a part of Germany's show.
