Few months ago I was at the Southern part of Thailand and visited (for the nth time) the local market. I love going to this market to buy stuff that I can never find here in Holland. Simply cheaper, authentic and fresher.
This was a stolen shot of two vendors engrossed in their chat.

Have you ever shopped online and gave part of your payment to charity at the same time? Never heard of it before? With www.eengoedezaak.nl this is possible. ‘Een Goede Zaak’ or aGoodCause.com was founded in 2004 by two Danish entrepreneurs, Jonathan Low and Mads Ellegaard with the idea of making it possible to help a good cause for free when shopping online. The companies pay the donations, but you get to decide where the money goes.

Minabuti kong bitbitin ang aking camera kaninang umaga, halos 11 am ng kinailangan kong magpunta sa grocery at mamili ng aming mga kailangan sa panaghalian. Dahil ang tumambad sa akin ay tila makapal na usok pagbukas pa lamang ng pinto.
Walang kahangin-hangin sa labas kaya’t ang mist o fog ay napakakapal. Animo’y papagabi na at dahil iniiwasan ito ng mga nagmamaneho, ay tahimik rin sa lansangan.
Dito ako dumadaan papunta ng tindahan. Kahit ang mga ibon at pato ay ubod ng tahimik. Halos walang umiimik!
Ni hindi ko maaninag ang araw …
at kinailangan ko pang mag zoom in para lang makita ito.
Madalas ito mangyari dito sa bansang Holland. Hay naku pag hindi ka pa naman na-depress sa ganitong tanawin, ewan ko na lang! Pero ika nga, survival lang naman, kalabanin ang depression na dala ng paparating na winter sa ganitong panahon. Kalabanin ang mahabang oras ng dilim!
Happy LP dear friends!
These photos were meant for last week’s Weekend Snapshot as I even went outside just to shoot, but due to my hectic schedule I wasn’t able to join. Anyway, I’d just let the photos speak for themselves.
The only thing about autumn that I like is the changing of green leaves into red, that’s pretty! But the rain and below temperature that come along with it, no thank you.
Do join us at Weekend Snapshot!
Ilaw na pinalilubutan ng sapot. Ganunpaman ito ay nagbibigay liwanag sa gitna ng kadiliman. Nakikita nyo yung ‘orb’?
Dito nagbibigay ng liwanag ang ilaw na ito. Sa isang madilim na bahagi ng Fuerza De Santiago. Kuha po ang mga ito nuong EB ng Litratong Pinoy (Aug.9, 2008)
Ako po si Thess na bumabati ng magandang Huwebes sa inyong lahat!
Fort Santiago according to Wikipedia:
Fort Santiago (Spanish: Fuerza de Santiago) is a defense fortress built for Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi. The fort is part of the structures of the walled city of Intramuros, in Manila, Philippines.
The location of Fort Santiago was once the site of the palace and kingdom of Rajah Sulayman, a Muslim chieftain of pre-hispanic Manila. It was destroyed by the conquistadors upon arriving in 1570, encountering several battles with the Islamic natives. The Spaniards destroyed the native settlements and erected Fuerza de Santiago in 1571.
The first fort was made out of log structures and earth. Most of it was destroyed in the Spanish-Chinese War of (1574-1575), by invaders of Chinese pirates who besieged the area. The Spaniards fought a fierce conflict and eventually drove the pirates out. In 1589 the fort was constructed with hard stone and finished in 1592. It became the main fort for travels and spice trade to the Americas and Europe for 333 years. The famous Manila Galleon trade to Acapulco, Mexico started sailing from Fuerza de Santiago.

Hindi ako masyadong mahilig sa malalaking abubot sa katawan kagaya ng makapal na purselas na ito ng nabili ko nuong Agosto sa Greenhills, San Juan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko ito binili samantalang hindi ko nga ito hilig. Malamang ay dahil sa nanibago ako sa pakikipag TAWARAN ng presyo sa mga tindera. OO, dahil nga duon. Medyo bago na para sa akin ang gawaing ito dahil dito sa Holland ay hindi uso na tatawaran mo ang mga bilihin. Minsan ay napagsabihan pa ako ng aking biyenan (Dutch) na taliwas iyon sa kagandahang asal, argh!
Ikaw mahilig ka ba tumawad kapag namimili ka? Ako ay oo, subalit nagagawa ko lang ito sa Asia. Nakakapanibago para sa akin pero nakakaaliw din lalo na kung ibinibigay ang presyong itinawad ko!
Magandang Huwebes sa inyong lahat at HAPPY LP!
grabe astig! pati ako napapatalon
I love octupus! I had
