Day 365 - Looking Out

And there you go, the last picture of this 365 Project.  It took me two years to complete, so now I can say firsthand that it's not that easy to do. But I can also say that despite the loss of ideas, the rummaging through piles of mess to find my camera cable, and the frantic searching inside my bag for any kind of camera just to capture the quickly fleeting moments of life, this activity was really fun. And I don't regret doing it. Just looking back at the pictures that I took in the past 2 years, already makes me feel like I've accomplished something. The documentation of my life, I mean, little though that may be.

This last picture is of me looking out the window/wall of the currently biggest ferris wheel in the Philippines, the MOA Eye (I know, what a "creative" name for a ferris wheel, right?). I'm kind of cheating because it was my sister/brother-in-law who took this picture. But, it's of me anyway so it's still valid to put on my blog.

I'm looking at Manila Bay, waiting for the sun to set. For those of you who've watched the sun set at Manila Bay, I guess you know why it's important. But for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, maybe I'll tell you more about it later. Maybe sooner than you think, and hopefully in a more creative way than you'd expect.

Thanks to anyone/everyone who's followed this blog.  I hope you liked my pictures, and here's to another 365 days? :)

Day 364 - Paellyeah!

New friends = new activities!

Today we had a paella party because we're now friends with K and his hobby, apparently, is cooking for others. Talk about a great hobby! :D

So this is me and a few of my new officemates in the dining room of my house, because we live in the middle of the Muntiparlas area and I guess that makes it the most ideal place for a party that involves people from those places. And, my parents are fine with having people over anyway. They even played Flamenco music because it suddenly became a Spanish-themed party with the paella and all.

BTW, crazy eyes expression on my face is due to my dad's corny jokes (that I've heard way too many times before!) during the taking of this picture.

Ako nang umabot ng 2 years sa 365 days project. Sorry na! Ang hirap mamili ng pictures and... I only have 1 more to go! How do you choose a picture that's good enough to be the last one?

Day 363 - First Out of Town Trip of the Year

With my new friends and one old one, I went to Baguio and Sagada. This is my first out of town trip of the year, but I'm hoping there will be more. I'm hoping I can budget enough money for more. But let's not talk about that yet. Instead, let's talk about how this was such a fun dinner. We ordered the "Inihaw Platter" and it only cost us about P150 each. That includes the yummy garlic rice. This was our first dinner during this 4-day 3-night trip, and I have to say, it was a really good start. :)
