Unlike the other bancas which fishermen use, this one remains at shore all the time. This banca bears the name Remedios, like the resort, in remembrance of the resort owner's mother.

Sitio Remedios Chapel, originally uploaded by Em Dy.
One of my rituals when traveling is taking a photo of the room where I'm staying and the view from the window. During our trip to Ilocos early this year, we stayed at Sitio Remedios. We occupied Balay Radrillo, a two storey house with 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms and living and dining areas. What you see is the chapel, as seen from the balcony.

Pahinga muna, sabi ni Mamang Kutsero sa kabayo. Dito muna tayo sa lilim. Ikaw, nagpapahinga ka ba? O pinagpapahinga mo ba ang mga kasama mo? Dapat lang. Kailangan nating lahat ang pahinga.
Let's rest, said the rig driver to the horse. Let's stay in the shade, he added. Do you take a break? Or allow others to do so? You should. Everybody deserves a break.

Field Trip, originally uploaded by Em Dy.
A field trip can turn into a nightmare if a child gets lost. To avoid that problem, give clear instructions, initiate a buddy system or let the kids wear identical, easy to spot clothing. Red is a good choice as it is striking.

Took this photo at a local hotel. It was windy so I had to wait in between gusts or to try to shield the flower from the wind.

Ang litratong ito ay kuha sa labas ng Batu Caves sa Malaysia. Ito ang pinakamalaking istatwa ni Murugan sa buong mundo. Maski gawa ito sa konkreto at hindi sa ginto, mahal pa rin ang ginastos dito. Kasi, pinturang ginto pa lang, tatlumpung daang litro na ang ginamit at inangkat pa ito galing Thailand. May isa pa nga pala akong litrato dito kung gusto nyong malaman kung gaano ito kalaki.
This photo was taken outside the Batu Caves in Malaysia. This is the world's biggest statue of Murugan. Even if this is made of concrete and not of gold, its construction was still very expensive. After all, 300 liters of gold paint was exported from Thailand. By the way, I have another photo here showing its size.

Once you've tried what this red wagon serves, you'd definitely come back for more. I did. I loved the malasadas and made a second trip back to this wagon.

The three women trudging up the steps to get to the church are the mother and her two daughters. Each woman is also in another relationship, this time with God; hence the church visit.

Thirty Pieces of Silver, originally uploaded by Em Dy.
Marami sa atin ang pamilyar sa Huling Hapunan at ang imaheng ito. Malamang ang apostol na pinakamadaling makilala ay si Hudas dahil kadalasan syang pinakikitang malayo ang tingin o di kaya'y may supot sa tabi. Ang supot ay naglalaman ng tatlumpu't pirasong pilak na nakuha niya kapalit sa pagkakanulo kay Hesus.
Many of us are familiar with the Last Supper and this representation. Perhaps the apostle easiest to recognize is Judas as he is almost always shown looking away or with a pouch next to him. The pouch supposedly contains the thirty pieces of silver he got in exchange for betraying Jesus.
