day 794 - sun peeking through

the morning sun peeking through the fence and through the kitchen window. damn those parking lot signs!

day 764 - early morning on the danforth

practicing to use the manual setting to get the sunrise colours.

day 664 - good morning, Canada!

the glorious canadian sunrise woke me up this morning. i've had only 2 hours of sleep as i couldn't get to sleep last night, still on manila or san francisco time, maybe. but i will fight off sleep the whole day so i will be too tired tonight and sleep my usual time and shake off this damn jet lag shit. am still woozy from yesterday's flight but i'm almost home. a very ambivalent feeling: wanting to go home and yet wanting to leave at the same time. growing old, i'm sure.

day 642 - first sunrise in manila

it is already the 12th of november here in manila but in canada it's still the 11th. but we woke up quite early even though we went to bed at almost 3 o'clock in the morning. when i got out of the bedroom to see what's in the offing in terms of breakfast downstairs, i saw this, sunlight from the sunrise. i couldn't see the sun exactly but its light on the vacant kitchen is enough to make me feel giddy.

this is the second floor kitchen of my friend lulu's house. it is a big house with 4 bedrooms, including the master bedroom where lulu and i are staying, and a library, one full bath, one full size shower and toilet, and one toilet with shower capacity, a kitchen (what you're looking at) a mid-size dining room with built-in cabinets and a large terrace. as i said that is just the second floor.

day 609 - sunrise at the beaches

the fruit of my labour - labour as in waking up early and hauling my ass off to the beaches to take photos of the sunrise which i never did during the summer and thank heavens we're having a nice indian summer this early in the fall and i could still take this sunrise pic. yes, that fruit of labour!

day 608 - play misty for me

on the way to the beaches, partner spotted the mist in the park, turned the car around and like a movie director, started to direct me as to how i should photograph the mist. did i heed him? course not. i got the camera, therefore i am the star and i will take the photo i want. and this is what i wanted to shoot. parfaitment!
