Oh My Gulay!

Ensalada, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Just one of the dishes served in our last family get-together. This was later topped with Oishi's Bread Pan. I thought that that was inventive. I've never used the snack that way.

In a Relationship

To Church, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

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.

To Fly or Not to Fly

The Hunchback's Office

Bantay Church Bell Tower, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

What is it about hunchbacks and bell towers? Victor Hugo probably started the association with his novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. In the Philippines, we have the movie/teleserye Kampanerang Kuba.

This is the Bantay Church Bell Tower in Ilocos. Many remember this as the setting of one of FPJ's movies.

From the top, one can have a clear view of the surrounding and skywatch.

This photo is also a good example of scale.

Paying Homage

Vigan Church and McDo, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

On the left is Vigan Church, one of the oldest churches in Ilocos. The place is a must visit for tourists to Ilocandia. Here, locals and tourists pray to the heavens.

On the right is McDonalds where burger worshippers pay homage. What is interesting about this branch of this global fastfood company is that the design is in keeping with the province's heritage look.

The sky seems to separate the two.

The Great Outdoors

Tamborine Mountain, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

This was what greeted me every morning I was in Australia for a 10-day seminar. The sky was blue despite it being winter then. It was a welcome respite to the concrete jungle I'm accustomed to. Wish I have something like this in my backyard.

Keeping Warm

Fireplace, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

I was in Brisbane during the winter month of August. Coming from a tropical country, I kept close to the fire during cool nights and learned to drink tea to keep me warm.
