Yeah, the weather was great yesterday. I'm hoping to take the ferry on a foggy day, as it makes a perfect photo opportunity.

My old cat Sweetie. She lived with me while I was in Van Nuys from 2000 to 2004. Sadly, I had to give her away when I moved out to Burbank, as my cousin hates cats.

On June of 2004, I returned to the Philippines to attend my sister's wedding. Since my cousins from L.A. hadn't been in the country for over three decades, my family brought everyone around.
Here are some pics I took of the resort we went to in Tagaytay City, which is around three hours south of Manila. During this time, I was given a cheap 4.0 megapixel camera, and these were the only good shots I took out of 100. I should've brought my Canon EOS 50 that weekend...
I'm hoping that the Maidens would visit the Philippines in the near future. Maybe I can tag along and show them around the best spots in the country.

Was bored last Saturday, so I ran some errands and then headed over to the arboretum @ Cal State Fullerton to take some pics:

paul your pics are killer - i love the detail you got! who woulda thought cacti could be soo beautiful - they really get a bad rap huh. reminds me of a bumblefoot song:
If you sit in a pot of dirt with nothin' to say - you're a cactus
If you spend all day starin' at the sun - you're a cactus
If you don't wanna get close so you wear a coat of pins - you're a cactus
If you keep your world barren like a desert - you're a cactus
If you have no face and need more space - you're a cactus
If you like to hide in the sand - you're a cactus
If you can't seem to get anything done - you're a cactus
If the company of tumbleweed is unexpected fun - you're a CACTUS!
If you fit in perfectly in an empty room - you're a cactus
If you hurt anyone who bumps into you - you're a cactus
If your social circle is you - you're a cactus
If you're referred to as "what" instead of "who" - you're a cactus
If your skin is green and you have no spleen - you're a cactus
If simple creatures think of you as mean - you're a cactus
If life-sucking weeds won't even go near ya - you're a cactus
And if balloons fear ya - you're a CACTUS!
If the world finds you abrasive - you're a cactus
If you're unique with a plain physique - you're a cactus
If you're full of wine and have no spine - you're a cactus
If you resemble a sleeping porcupine - you're a cactus
If no one wants to sit on your lap - you're a cactus
If you are full of, or considered a sap - you're a cactus...

Took this week off for vacation. Went to visit family in Las Vegas for a couple of days. Wandered around Paris and Bellagio with my mom last night. Here's a few:

Mabuhay! I just arrived here in the Philippines, and I have a few pics of my trip. My flight on Wednesday night was originally scheduled at 9:05 p.m., but the ticket clerk informed me that there was an available Business Class seat on the 7:05 plane (I had originally purchased a Coach Class seat, but my dad used his connections with the airline to upgrade my seat). And so I rushed to the gates and boarded Philippine Airlines Flight PR113.
It's not hard to get bored on long flights, especially when watching an in-flight movie requires you to swipe your credit card. So aside from listening to the Maidens on my MP3 player, I killed some time by doing some test shots with my Casio Exilim EX-Z9BK camera - which did an awesome job at the show last Saturday.
Seafood as an appetizer. Yuck! At least I can further test my camera's Food Mode setting.
Finally, some food I can actually eat. And to top it all off, dessert...
Amusing how the cap has a spoon inside, even though I didn't need it.
Breakfast has certainly improved in Philippine Airlines since the last time I've flown with them.
Have you ever seen that episode of The Twilight Zone where a guy in a plane sees some sort of monster on the wing and everyone aboard thinks he's delusional? Actually, that wasn't what I was thinking of. Instead, I was recalling the scene in Fight Club where Edward Norton was in a plane and he imagined a mid-air collision. Thankfully, none of that happened on this flight.
About 12 hours after leaving LAX, I arrived at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport in Guam. No sightseeing here, unfortunately, as the stopover was strictly for refueling.
Within the next three hours, my plane arrived safely at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (named after a distant uncle of mine who was assassinated by Marcos' goons in 1983) in Manila. Unfortunately, while I had upgraded to a different plane, my bags were checked in on my original flight. Thus, I had to wait another couple of hours.
The baggage terminals were nicely decorated with Christmas lanterns. This one had some funky disco light effects; I should've taken a video of it.
And so, I'm home with my family, whom I hadn't seen in over four years. Now off for some brunch before some extensive sightseeing.

That's pretty lame if they're going to charge you to watch a movie, especially in business class. The food looked good tho (including the sea food - YUMMY!), and it's probably better than what you recall because you're in business class, not coach! Good seeing you again. Somehow I have that feeling we'll be seeing you again
