Up Khao Takiab
Oct 26th
Although it was partially cloudy, it was still extremely hot for me back in October 1, 2011 when we visited Khao Takiab in Hua-Hin Thailand.
Khao Takiab also means chopstick hill. I took this photo up the hill where both Chinese and Thai religious objects are located. This obviously is part of the Chinese display. Unfortunately I am not an expert to talk about what’s on the hill, I only like taking photos of what I see.
More photos coming up on my next posts.
Meaning literally “chopstick hill” Khao Takiab is dominated by a 272 m high headland that juts out into the sea. It is clearly visible at the southern end of Hua Hin beach. If you approach the hill this way, you are rewarded with the sight of a 20m tall Lord Buddha statue and there are other religious figures, both Thai and Chinese, at the summit, together with a statue of King Rama V. The hill is also known as “Monkey Mountain” due to large numbers of monkeys (macaques) that are resident there. Whilst not really fierce, care should be taken when they are around as they have a habit of grabbing and making off with anything that takes their fancy, especially handbags and cameras. It is probably better not to feed them as the larger males can sometimes become aggressive if the bananas have run out.

Mga ganitong istilo ng mga gusali ang nakakatawag pansin naman po talaga! Or at least talagang napansin ko. Kakaiba naman kasi. Kahit pa halatang renovated na ito, ganunpaman ay hinayaan nilang maipakita ang orihinal na mga bintanang pula sa gitna. Napansin nyo ba agad ang kaibahan nito?
Hindi ko pa itong nakita na nakasara pero kung ipipikit ko ang aking mga mata at hahayaan ang aking imahinasyon ang umandar…maganda! Magandang istilo ng bintana!
Nakakahilo bang tingnan?
Magandang araw ng Litratong Pinoy sa inyong lahat!
It’s time to try again.

It has been difficult for me to pick up my camera the past 2 months. Since my father died in July. The last photos I’ve taken were of his’ ….to document his final journey, until he was cremated. I had to do it because I promised a sibling who unfortunately couldn’t be there. I was heartbroken, nothing seemed to matter after.
But I would like to try again. To do things I used to love, and I know I still love. One of them is photography. My love for photography started out the first time my father let me used his film camera. It was his photos of a sinking ship that inspired me to take photos. Just as I see the world.
In honor of the man who made me, me.
Cheers Pa! Ik hou heel veel van jou en ik mis je erg.

I found this photo from my 2008 files. This was shot at Bangkok’s Pratunam Market. I took this shot not because I thought the dog was cute but on the contrary, I was pissed off at its owner. Not only that the dog was dyed with colors but to add insult and DISCOMFORT to the poor thing, it had a shirt on. On a humid and high-temperature day! I don’t know if this was the dog owner’s way to attract people to buy from her or just plain naiveness.
I can understand people clothing their dogs during low temperature but in BKK where people would take their shirts off if they could, this was just wrong. I am no stranger in clothing dogs because my own pug has his jackets, which I seldom put on him and if ever I do, only for a few minutes of photo shooting, that’s it. But even when I do it only for few minutes, my husband would scold me bacause it’s not right to that to a dog, any dog. And he is absolutely right! Dog experts say that an exception is the chihuahua breed. I don’t know about that because I don’t have a chihuahua (yet.)
Anyway, imagine yourself covered with hair and living in a land where the average temperature is 29C? And with a shirt on?! Perhaps you’ll pant, hang your tongue out until it drops to the ground and BITE others around you because you’re irritated and feeling discomfort, wont you?
Let dogs , be dogs. Without shirts and not dyed, that’s the way they are created and should stay.
Note: background was changed into B&W and dog was selected to show only its colors.
Pagbabalik ng kanyang bunga (LP 111)
Jun 23rd
Malamang ay nagtataka kayo kung ano ang relasyon ng aking mga larawan sa temang Pagbabalik (return) ngayong Huwebes sa Litratong Pinoy.
Simple lang. Taon taon ay inaabangan ko ang pagbabalik ng mga bungang ito! Kung pwede ko lang awayin ang ang haring habagat malamang ay ginawa ko. Matalik na kaaway ng mga bungang ito ay ang malakas na bugso ng hangin at ulan. Nanghihinayang talaga ako kapag nakikita kong puno ang lupa ng mga nalaglag na bunga dahil dito.
Ang puno ng peras na ito ay nasa aming maliit na hardin sa likod bahay. Ang klase ng peras na ito ay iyong iniluluto, hindi sya kinakain ng hilaw.
crooked tree trunk
Ito ang isa sa aking paboritong dessert na pinaggagamitan ko ng mga bunga ng aming puno. Iniluto sya sa red wine.

There is something definitely WRONG in this picture. Can you spot it?
Some people really. Some people!

Dining out is one opportunity for me to take photos. Although my dinner-mate (my husband) does not like it a bit when I do that. He finds it disrespectful because flash is annoying other diners, flash that I SELDOM use in restaurants, so it’s just an excuse by my husband really *wink*
I’m ‘embarrassing’ him, simple.
Laughing out loud!! ha ha ha!
I did it again Friday night. While waiting for our appetizers, I clicked!
No harm done.
