Dipped

A meeting on monitoring and evaluation of HIV and AIDS was called at the Imperial Palace Suites in Quezon City. I've noticed that effort's been given at detailing avante-garde swankiness in the hotel, including this, uh, vase(?) I must have missed the fashionable interior decor train. It's at least a humongous ensemble, definitely commanding some attention.

Art naturally

Nope, it isn't some abstract artwork. It's definitely not a zebra borne of inter-species mating. It's a detail from a trunk of a tree inside Sycip Garden, where us neighbor-friends had a Sunday photoshoot. You have to admit, though, the patterns are quite compelling. And the image has very good potential as desktop wallpaper. More images HERE.

Only words left

A candid shot of emanon during the Sycip garden promenade and photoshoot with friends. The garden was peppered with bronze plates of quotations from Washington Sycip (who else) such as on the bench beside emanon. I don't remember what the plate quoted, but from this frame, it looked like emanon was speaking with the bench, the bench teleprompting its reply via the bronze plate. More images HERE.

Progress, but journey's much longer

Asianchubi invited us neighboor-friends for a Sunday promenade and photoshoot. We ended up at the Sycip garden in Legazpi Village, Makati. We were supposed to help him build up his photography portfolio. Of course, we went clicking away as well with our respective cameras. There were so many interesting things in this park to frame and capture such as this stone turtle, nicely placed at the head of a tiled path. Reminds me of that quotation about it making progress by just sticking its neck out. More images from this promenading cum photoshoot HERE.

Kitty doormats yawn "welcome!"

April 9 was just another lazy, mostly nothing day. I couldn't quite recall why I was just being a lazy oaf at home; it's a weekday. (Then again, my office is just across the street from my place.) Even the welcoming committee at my doorstep forewarned would-be visitors of the household sleepiness.
