Nightscape

"I often think the night is more alive, and more richly colored, than the day." - Vincent Van Gogh

Indeed.

Splash!

Hi everyone. So sorry for the 3-day no-show. Work has been so incredibly stressful lately I can't even begin to describe it. Anyhow, I am sure you are not here to listen to me rant, so I will just post this nice, big fountain in Bonifacio High Street that I really like. I hope to be able to post more consistently. If my work allows me to have some semblance of a life, even an online life, that is.

"Brownout"

In Manila, and the whole of the Philippines, blackouts are known as "brownouts." I have no idea why. I'm not aware of any other country in the world that calls blackouts "brownouts." Anyhow, in the wake of Typhoon Basyang's wrath was the huge Luzon wide blackout. If you're in the US, that would be equivalent to a blackout of the entire East coast. Seeing as how I've finished all my Sudoku puzzles, and my laptop has run out of battery and I couldn't finish my Modern Family episodes, I just took out my nifty little point and shoot and tried to shoot whatever I can.

And here's the view from my humble bedroom in our humble house somewhere in Metro Manila during the blackout. That blue light there comes from the Union Bank, just a few minutes away from my house. That blue light served as my only light source for the night. Maybe one day I'll take a picture of that building during daylight.

Nightcap

I haven't gone swimming at night for the longest time. Maybe I should do that again one of these days.

Night out

Manila has an awesome night life. For people who just want to chill out, the M Cafe is a pretty good spot. Have a good Friday folks!

Rock on

Night escapade

When I go jogging in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, I always look at the skyline and somehow I feel less tired. Happy Friday everyone!
