Around the World

Small Arabia, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Perhaps the quickest way to appreciate the world in costumes is at Disneyland's It's A Small World. Many don't like the ride because it's slow and old fashioned but it's actually quite educational.

I see this building up close at least twice a week. It's almost done compared to this photo I took last year so maybe people can actually move in this year as promised.

Di Para Kay Tarzan

Hanging Bridge, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Para sa mga ordinaryong mortal na katulad natin na walang abilidad katulad ni Tarzan, malaking tulong ang ganitong tulay.

For ordinary mortals like us with no abilities like Tarzan's, bridges such as this are a big help.

Ang sarap sigurong tumira sa bahay kubo. Presko. Simpleng buhay. At saka meron pa, labanos, mustasa. Ay mali!

It would be nice to live in a nipa hut. Airy. Simple life. And of course, labanos, mustasa. Oops!

Regal Baby

Peacock, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Halos dalawang linggo ako sa Brisbane at sa panahong yun, araw araw kong nakikita ang ibon na ito pero di ko makuhanan ng maganfang litrato kaya laking tuwa ko nung natyempuhan ko syang ganito na parang nakapose at mukhang reyna nung malapit na akong umuwi. Paborito ko itong larawan dahil sa kwento sa likod nya at dahil sa pambihirang pagkakataon na ako'y nasa tamang lugar sa tamang panahon.

I was in Brisbane for close to two weeks and in that time, I would see this peacock daily but couldn't get a proper picture. So when I saw it perched like this, almost posing and looking very regal, I was overjoyed. This is my favorite photo because of the story behind it and the incredible chance of being in the right place at the right time.
