San Juanico Bridge

The pics may not mean much (especially to my collegues who always traverse this path) but it is still one counts in my lifebook.

Broken

I was walking along the road when i noticed this small plant. The tiny trunk snapped from the base where the roots are anchored to the ground. It might have been got stepped on or run over tricycles.



The pitiful thing sure is dying but then I noticed something, it still has leaves budding on its end. We obviously can deny the fact that this plant of some sort is going through tough times. Well, if you would look at the damage it has taken, we can say it is clinging to life by mere centimetes and will probably perish soon. But we can also look at it this way: it is dying but it is also fighting like hell to survive.



And I think it will.

So can we.

Diesel price goes over gasoline's

Im not sure if this is some kind of a mistake but notice the price of diesel. The question is, mistake or not, will this be a sign of what is set to come?

Pious Facade

Believe it or not, I took this pictuire in Beijing. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the name of the church. Just click to zoom and try to read yourself.

Contemplating

Got myself a new book. Actually, I had to get some help securing it.
Didn't expect it to be how it is but, I think I'm gonna like it though.

Majestic Twins

To date the top three tallest skyscrapers are the Sears tower (527m), the Taipei 101 (508m) and the Petronas Twin Towers (452m). These engineering wonders have only caught my attention whenever I see them in Discovery Channel, well, that was before I saw one of them. I’d like you to meet the twins...

had to take a shot several meters away. it's really difficult to get them to fit in my cameraphone's viewfinder.


a little obstructed. have to watch for speeding cars when i took this.


this would have to do.. im starting to look stupid here


See, they dont look so nice from below


And let there be light...


I must tell you, I really am awestruck when I met them. They really are majestic. Wonder how much it costs to light these babies up.

Binibining Makahiya

Sinong mag-aakalang namumulaklak pala ang makahiya

Ang kandilang ito ay nagkakahalaga ng limang piso... kanina.

Ito ay binili ng isang 10-taong gulang na bata na nagnanais na matapos ang kanyang takdang aralin sa gitna ng init at dilim ng brownout. Ang perang ipinambili ng kandilang ito ay dapat na pambili ng sabaw na magsisilbing niyang ulam para sa hapunan, ang tanging halagang iniwan sa kanya ng kanyang ina sa bago ito umalis noong hapon para pumasok sa trabaho. Ngayon, ubos na ang kandila, hindi pa tapos ang kanyang mga sulatin, kumakalam na rin ang kanyang sikmura.

Subukan mong isipin:

1. kung ikaw ang bata, bibili ka ba ng kandila o ng sabaw?

2. kung ikaw ang ina, hahayaan mo bang ganun ang sapitin ng iyon anak o hahantong ka sa prostitusyon, pagnanakaw at kung anu-ano pa para makaahon sa inyong kinalulugmukan?

3. kung ikaw ay may matang mapanghusga, agad mo bang sisisihin ang ina, ang bata, ang gobyerno, ang simbahan, o itatanong mo muna kung bakit ganoon ang kalagayan nila?

4. kung ikaw ang guro ng bata, mag-aatubili ka pa bang itanong kung bakit hindi nya natapos ang kanyang takdang aralin o agad mo syang palalabasin ng silid aralan na magtutulak na lalo syang walang matutunan?

5. kung ikaw ikaw, ano ang iyong magagawa?

nakakalungkot pero ito ang payak na katotohanan na sumasaklaw sa lipunan ngayon.... sana may maisagot ako sa panglimang tanong.
