eclipse

i can't believe i missed this....



it happened yesterday sometime between 4:55pm-5:55pm (as i just walked into a movie theater - grrr!), but apparently the skies were also too cloudy and the sun had set while still in mid-eclipse.

our next chance is on july 22 - total solar eclipse!

happy weekend

i had my first crack in entertaining guests in baguio...  what a joy :)

first night --  upon arriving, dinner by candle light...

for dessert:  fresh baguio strawberries (so big right?  and sweet too.  only P100 a kilo) + whipped cream + vargas butter cake = perfect makeshift strawberry shortcake!

barbecue on the second day...

complete with grilled corn!

night cap: hot chocolate under the stars.

yun lang :)   see ya.

where in the world is flower

where am i?

parang greece ba?

well, i'm in la union. hwe hwe hwe hwe.

this new resort called thurnderbird in poro point, la union -- one-hour drive from baguio + overlooking the south china sea.

it currently has a 9-hole golf course and a casino nearby.... other than that -- nothing really much to do.  

maybe surf?  naks.

yun lang :)
