Post-New Year: Journey in an Empty City.

01.01.2016 – The New Year seemed in the Philippines started like calm before the storm. Its only Friday and the storm won’t be here until Monday, but not your literal kind of weather. It’s the people coming back from that long Holiday vacation.

It’s been quite a joy ride that I never had the experience to be here. The extravagant, loud, and wild celebrations are kind of not I’m used to. You’ll be surprised how I traded the fireworks for some silence and that’s why an empty city was simply ‘cool.’

Random Snaps: Afternoon Highs & Lows

05.04.2013 – Saturday was full of adventure and lot of stuff happened because of Free Comic Book Day. There was also other event transpired earlier today like the annual Digital Photography Philippines event held at Bonifacio High Street which was a few blocks away from Fully Booked.

There’s so much to do but so little time to appreciate each happening but you got to make every moment count when you’re in these kind of event. I just took the laid back approach and be calm in taking things in and so I let cameras tell the story for me through this simple images that transpired on my way to the places I have gone throughout my Saturday which definitely how it sum up everything.

Phail Arrival at the IMAX Theater.

06.29.2011 - Transformers: Dark of the Moon press media started its screening on the Coca-cola IMAX Theater at SM Mall of Asia by 6PM. It's the usual thing with press media screenings for those who get to see the movie first before the regular release date.

The traffic was horrible on a Tuesday and it was certainly has become the "normal" thing for those who regularly commute. But the weather was convincing enough to be more tolerable than the past few days of heavy downpours.

Post-Independence Day Midnight Mishap.

06.13.2011 - A little over two or almost three hours ago while walking along Chino Roces (formerly Pasong Tamo) on the way to a drinking place called Obeertime there was a commotion by the intersection that caught a lot of the people's attention.

Train Commuters: Don't Block The Doors?!

04.12.2011 - The MRT Metro Rail Transit has been one of the basic public mass transportation service in the Philippines. How can anyone have chosen to take the bus or the jeepney for something fast and convenient? But the MRT has been showing its age lately since it has been operational since 2001, and the neglect is certainly showing with mishaps and lack of trains recently.

Most commuters take the train during peak hours because it is fast and voiding traffic. But recently it has become challenging for the most packed transportation service along with the LRT-1 (Light Rail Transit). But most of the time, it's not always that crowded in certain hours. The mornings and after-hours take that bulk, but recently the trains have taken a lot of hours to arrive and they have not been on time lately.
