|  | Dad's a history buff and it was funny to have the guides approach us and say "guided tour po, may kasamang history", eh my dad knows so much more than they do. |
|  | Hawaii was great fun, although i did have a minor accident involving a 20-storey plummet. Good thing the hotel administrators were very helpful. i was trying to pose for a panoramic shot when the wind blew me down, down, down from the 20+ floor to the 4th. Enrie, who was taking my picture, quickly ran down to see if i was alright. the door to the patio where i fell was locked, so she had to call the guard and ask for help to look for me. At first the guard couldn't understand what i looked like and then he found me, looked at Enrie, and said, "is this it?" lovely, hilarious moment :) i'll come back with my surfboard before i die =D |
|  | A dream destination. Someday, I'll take Zane there, and maybe her friend Louie. They'll love the ashrams and the dancing :) |
|  | Food client's commercial shoot took me to an interesting place that would make a nice venue for an intimate low-key wedding with a rustic feel. |
|  | Two oldies tag along a group of philosophy students. What struck me most about the temple was how it had a lot of excess (to me), but these looked beautiful, though. Inlaid details, marble floors and columns, painted concrete elements, wooden sculptures, giant gold statues, and rich, gilded details told me that minimalism is a subjective word. I would like to explore Buddhism for its tenets, not for its gorgeus temples. Or maybe all the "excess" was really just focused inside the worship rooms, and that would make sense. Don't get me wrong, I loved the look of the place, but I guess it's a cultural thing that I have yet to understand. Who's buying me my So You Wanna Be a Buddhist book? =) |
