Quezon Memorial Circle (mini-post) – February 5, 2012
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Circle during the early morning. In fact it’s been a while in general. I used to bike around and in the circle a bit but walking around gives you a different perspetive. You see the hustle and bustle of folks going about their Sunday morning exercise routines and you get to notice the interactions that take place.

The Painted Ladies @ Alamo Square, San Francisco – December 28, 2011
Probably among one of the most recognizable “postcard scenes” of the City of San Francisco after photos of The Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, and cable cars is this picture of Victorian-era houses in a row on a street in San Francisco. These houses are also known collectively as “The Painted Ladies”. These houses are also seen in many San Francisco-themed Movies and TV shows, most notably "Full House."

La Mesa Dam Eco Park, Quezon City – November 13, 2011
On the morning of November 13, 2011 right before the controversial Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 fight, I was browsing through Google Maps when I spotted the La Mesa Dam Eco Park. A few weeks earlier, my friend, Eufer, had posted some pictures when he went to the park. I was also looking for an interesting place to bring my dogs. So on this morning, I decided to take a quick trip to finally see the Eco Park which is somewhat nearby to where I live in Quezon City.

Boracay – November 26-28, 2011
I’ve been to Boracay Island many times since my first visit in 2002 though my last trip was in 2008. There have been a lot of nice changes to the island and its facilities since then. Over the years, I have read complaints from folks who have complained about the changes to Boracay in the recent past. Pleasantly, I for one am happy with the current state of island, which according to Travel and Leisure is the #2 Island Destination in Asia and #4 in the world.
