Manila Auto Salon 2008

Here are some of the photos that I took during the last Manila Auto Salon 2008 held at SMX convention center. It was one successful event because there were so many car entries this year. And yes, car enthusiasts flew to see this once a year event that they wouldn't dare miss.
Of course, the husband was there too! and the daughter and I tag along! lol

Today's Flowers #5

I was doing nothing the other day when I took this lovely flower shot :) it super brightens my day actually... love the colors!

check out more of Todays Flowers here.

where in the?!

took this shot while we were heading the up hill chapel of Calaruega, when my aunt suddenly had an urge to use the rest room. it took us a while to locate the comfort room of the place, since it was our first time in the said place, but lo and behold! the rest room are so big and cozy! very inviting i tell you! my sister and i actually doesn't have a plan to use it but it feels home, so i made use of it! hahaha... the faucets are so expensive looking like the one you see in a Grohe faucets sites. neatly done.

Calaruega

this is the chapel of Transfiguration in Calaruega... a famous religious site for many. stories from the bystanders tells about the many advocates of this place wherein almost everyday, people from every walks of life tries to reach this place even if it is located a bit far from the metro. i heard that there are even tourists and travellers who goes straight to the place from the airport still with their Samsonite luggage.

tagaytay

last Sunday when we brought Olin at Tagaytay for a quick trip at the zoo, you see this tourist spot is always crowded with the locals and tourists as well. actually there are other things and so many places to visit in this area. the cold climate is also a plus. restaurants with different themes and effects are all over the city, churches and meditation centers are abundant and seminaries too. hot spots such as coffee shops, bistros, clubs and even quite a number of drug rehab are also located there. it's actually a one stop place for everything, for pleasure, dining, rehabilitation and meditation. all in one!

MOA

this is the SM Mall of Asia located at Pasay City Philippines, the largest mall in the country and said to be second in the world. honestly, i never enjoyed touring around and shopping here, we only does when we got no choice and when the things we are needing are not available in the smaller malls outside the metro. my feet is dead after the non stop walking here. imagine the real estate that was invested in here. the hundreds and hundreds of shops populating the whole mall are like mushrooms all around the area, you can practically get dizzy. but shopping is always fun don't we all think? give me a million and i will splurge it all there! no complains at all. lol.
photo taken using Nikon D40 in a auto mode (as usual)

almost sunset

i love sunsets, but i don't like when the sun is almost gone from the horizon, it freaks me. weird feeling, i know. this photo was taken using my goody old canon A5 series at Island Cove Resort, where we had an overnight stay during Mother's day. it was my first, so it was memorable. we tour the resort and took as many pictures as we can. i love taking pictures of landscapes and places, hopefully when the right time comes, i can get better photos of every subject. hopefully.

lounge

i love taking pictures of benches, chairs anything wooden. i dunno what's up with that, but whenever i see one it always calls my attention to take a shot... :) the above photo was taken at Bohol Beach Club in front of our resort room...

bench

taken at Canyon Woods during one of the family trips... while waiting for the others to come and hubby's taking care of our daughter at the same time MIL and Tita in Law were talking to the receptionist the bench was left unoccupied. I took out my camera, take the shot and here.... i love the indoor lights of the room. Cozy and warm. i wonder how many people have had sitted on this bench...

Ceilings and Lamps

Ceiling of the reception area of Maribago Beach at Cebu Philippines, while composing myself after the long travel i found this interesting ceiling structure above us, so i took my camera out and voila... shot from above!
