Early Year Reunion and Spa at the Macapagal Hiway

Fiery Skies

Cool weekends spent in Tagaytay, Sonya's Garden became an easy favorite for a hearty and healthy lunch, its gardens a place for respite for the tired body and the nearby Pink Sisters' convent for the weary soul

Tagaytay Visits

wife was able to visit ancestral home and took some great farm shots

Animal Farm

one of the better Photo Friday submissions I made with a screw from my laptop on top of my desk, :)

Losing Screws

Makati during Monday mornings is peaceful and can provide moments of solitude, nary the usual busy-ness. After 30 minutes or so, the scene would be the opposite

Paradigm Shifts

one of our scholars, is but a few steps from priesthood

Priestly Steps

Manila Summer is sweltering hot. That day when the pic was taken it reached a peak of 38 degrees. A fire extinguisher could've come in handy if it got any hotter that day

Hot Hot hot

Marga, our niece, will one day be a heart breaker, just for her smile! this day when it was taken was one of the rare times she looked at the camera and gave that winning smile

Mona Lisa Smile

The Survivor

Bride My Car

Family Ties

Riding in public vehicles in Manila is tough, even if it's a Gift of God. This is a usual rush-hour jeepney scene.

One Rainy Day

Maribago, is now the family's Mecca. We trek from various points of the globe to be there together for the last 3 years

Beach Bumming

Company outing in a private Subic Island

Subic, So Good

Saving the best for last as we and a great couple capped the summer season with a holiday in Boracay

Ok at Boracay

Boracay sailing to the sunset was like being transported to another place in a different lifetime. You'd wish not to return. But, soon it'll be dark.

Sunset Sailing

One quiet morning led me to drive into the American cemetery and took this shot. Poignant, some people might say. But statistics on the heroic soldier should stop with all the senseless wars.

Memorial Day

With less than 60 days to go before we leave, despedida parties started in August. I wanted to have one in here...

Treat or Trick?

colorful family send off/outing in Tagaytay, with Jake, Matty, Kyky and the rest of the family

Colorful Bye's!

Settling down was a challenge. Either we had to find work and transfer near work, or find a place to live in and find a means of living near it.

Apartment Hunting

Afternoons were great in Mississauga. The parks were nerve-soothing, the sunsets were captivating. We chose to stay here. The decision was quite easy.

Golden Skies

It wasn't hard to fall in love with Fall. The colors were varied, the temperature was constantly changing but the sight of falling leaves was cathartic. 9/29, Zia was born, the start of Autumn

Autumn Leaves

It was a bonus that we celebrated our 2nd month in the US. An office meeting and a convention was a perfect reason for us to have our umpteenth honeymoon in Vegas too!

Us in the US

It was a different Christmas, away from the family and some friends, interestingly, we survived together.

Xmas in a New Land

Memento Now a Toronto Photoblogger

In November, I had a warm welcome to the Toronto photoblogging world through the Toronto Area Photobloggers' Home. Now I'm a true blue Toronto photoblogger eh!

While a fitting end to the year is a featured photo on Spacing.ca's Photoblog, an online magazine covering Toronto's urban landscape.

Indeed, 2004, was a great photoblogging year!

I know there's so much strife and catastrophes around us, but let's not give up and lose hope...may 2005 be a better year, Happy New Year to everyone...
