Miracle or glitch?

A glitch potentially for packaging of a miraculous event? Gregg and I took a short pilgrimage at the Pink Sisters' Convent, just a brief, healthy stride away from the Red Lion, where he, I and his bagbag stayed for an April Baguio vacation. After that, we made another "pilgrimage" for the more Eastern spiritual-philosophical variety at the Taoist Temple. This image, The Virgin of the Poor (invocation included below the image), at least, has better potential for a stampita.

"Accident" framed and mah-velous

Gregg and I, specially on our campy, casual walkarounds, have this obsession of point-and-shoot of real life "artfully" framed. He calls them "accidents" and sometimes we could get quite, uh, competitive. Above is my response to this of Gregg's "accident". It was a sunny, cool morning in Baguio - during our quickie vacation with bagbag - when I happened on this: they were obviously in a hurry, anticipating the usual late afternoon brief downpour. I think Gregg was singing along his "dated" disco mp3 collection while in the shower.

Session's handprint of fame

I dunno, I've shown this pic to other friends, and some felt some kind of "dread" about it, almost like a build-up sequence or foreshadowing shot of a b-grade scream flick. It's actually embedded on Session Road's sidewalk, short distance from Pizza Volante. Taken during my quick vacation with Gregg and his bagbag on April.

Prickly delish!

Gregg's bagbag got some time-off last April from his humanitarian work overseas. Gregg and I joined him for a quick vacation in Baguio. We made sure that we go to the most exotic places in Baguio; on the first day, we went to SM City. Baguio, almost always the brightest of the plantae variety, seemed to have a new commercial obsession (since a year or two back) - cacti. This bunch just a fraction sampling what could be meters long of stalls before SM City's entrance. Illuminated with natural fluorescence of a strange bright but cloudy afternoon, these cacti seemed "very delicious."
