Stairway from Podium to Banco De Oro
Ortigas Centre, Pasig City (July 2004)

"Lost time is never found again" - Benjamin Franklin

Found this pebble-washed stairs sandwiched between two walls by accident. They were there for years now, and just like anything obscure we never really cared. Never even stopped to bother and look. Not until I decided to tie a shoelace and tried looking for a place to stop. I stopped in front of the steps and the sun was just staring at me. It was dramatic. I had to snap it. It looked like a stairway to heaven...(insert music of Led Zep, now)

Why is it that in life, we oftentimes overlook beauty staring at us for years? Is there anything out there that you need to discover? A memento from childhood stuck in your drawer? Your better half continually serving you throughout these years? Re-discover them again.

Found for Found - Top 10 Finds for the Week:

1. Imelda - the movie - deserving of Best Cinematography. Leyte looks great, its as if the movie was shot with a Lomo LCA camera. Now writing with a Pentel Pen will never be the same for me. Especially having to hear about the cosmos, binary numbers, Apple and computers.

2. Fahrenheit 9/11 - (DVD) - wow, well-researched, as always. Michael Moore at his best.

3. Chinese Monk (Restaurant) in Powerplant - be served quality food at reasonable prices by bald waiters in authentic monk attire. But the gong wasn't sounded when I arrived. Why kaya?

4. Bald Stars (website) - talk about bald, Anna Kournikova still looks good even if she's bald. See for yourself.

5. Dish (Nightspot) - your favorite dish, with their famous nightly shows is now in the Loop.

6. Philippine Web Awards - the site is now accepting nominations. So who's your daddy?

7. The Top 100 List of This and That - oh, how i love lists. obvious ba?. This site would be a great one for trivia buffs like moi.

8. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time - my favorite book at the moment. Still haven't finished despite having only 240 pages (with primary numbers as chapters)! ninanammnam ko e

9. Fantasia and Diana DeGarmo CD Singles - now available! well i only have Fantasia and she sounds great in this 3-song CD, priced at P 175.00. Talk about Idols, Australian Idol, Guy Sebastian's CD is way up there. Buy it.

10. I also found out that I can survive 3 blog entries in 7 days. And yes, I was out the whole week but I only took 2 shots. That one you see is one of them.
