Visitors to the Ruins of St. Paul's Church in Malacca get a glimpse of the old and new. From a distance, they can see the new developments in the area, a sharp contrast to their immediate surroundings.

The Sky is Free

Water and Sky, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

This is one of the three photos I took while walking to the mall last Saturday. When I reached the security guard, he asked me what I just did. I told him that I took a photo of the sky. Although he told me that photography was not allowed in the area, he didn't insist on deleting the images as some would have done. For that, I'm grateful. However, I still don't understand why taking photos of the sky should not be allowed. After all, the sky is for everybody.

Likhang Kamay

Mandala Brooch by Pia Faustino, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Alambre. Isang pangkaraniwang bagay pero sa malikhaing kamay at imahinasyon ni Pia Faustino, nagagawang kamanghamangha at kakaiba. Natuwa ang mga nabigyan ko ng ganitong regalo nung Pasko kasi kakaiba ito.

Wire. A common object yet in the creative hands and imagination of Pia Faustino is crafted into something amazing and extraordinary. People who received this gift from me last Christmas were thrilled because of its uniqueness.

This is the flower of the pepper plant that we have at home. You can see how small it is by comparing it to the size of the ant.
