What A Difference The Day Makes!

Cathedral, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Remember my first Skywatch photo I posted last Friday?

This is the same building but the photograph was taken during the day. This illustrates the fact that a subject may be captured in many different ways; at an angle, from a different vantage point, at different times of the day, close-up. The list goes on and on.

Take out that camera now and explore all the possibilities.

Currimao Family, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Isa sa mga masarap gawin tuwing taginit ay maligo sa dagat. Gustong gusto ito ng mga bata. Kaya lang, di pwedeng wala silang kasama. Matiyagang nagbabantay ang inang ito habang nagkakatuwaan ang mga anak niyang lumangoy habang ang bunso ay tulog sa kanyang mga balikat. Di natatapos ang tungkulin ng isang ina pero ginagawa niya ang mga ito ng bukal sa kalooban.

One of the nicest things to do during summer is to go to the beach and swim. Children love this activity. But they cannot be left unsupervised. This mother patiently watches over her older children having fun swimming while the youngest is in her arms asleep. A mother's work is never done but she continues to do her duties from the heart.

And Out She Came Running

Suman, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

A woman shouted from the street and Mom's trusted aide Nene shouted back and started running to our gate.

The woman had just shouted Suman! Her favorite.

Suman is a native delicacy of the Philippines. As you can see from the photo, it comes in different shapes and sizes. Some are short and stout; yet others are long and thin. The difference does not end there and lies inside the covering made of leaves. They vary in terms of color, ingredients, taste, etc. Some go well with sugar, syrup or even mangoes.

Have you tried suman?

Did you discover something new last weekend?

Calle Crisologo

Calle Crisologo - Kalesa, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

This was what I so wanted to see during my recent trip to Ilocos. Calle Crisologo is the image most iconic of Vigan. Cobblestone lined street. Preserved storehouses. Horse drawn carriages. Truly wow Philippines.
