this was part of my jogging view back in 2007. as you know, i am crazy about cloud formations. when finished, the house at the center turned into one of these.

also known as pink periwinkle, these flowers are ubiquitous in the philippines. they grow all year round. my sister said that as a child, i’d pluck the petals and stick them on my fingernails, like new polish. can’t remember a thing!

one strange cab encounter
Posted in city life, strange with tags manila, philippines, photography on June 8, 2008 by ratedxtin
one day on a way to a meeting, the security officer at our building called me a cab. i let out a shriek when i saw this little kid sleeping on the floor! before i could get out thinking it was a dead body, the poor cabbie explained that his wife (boy’s mom) was in the hospital to look after the boy’s sick grandparent. no one at home to look after the child so father decided to bring him along. he let the boy stay on the floor so he didn’t get in the way (i.e. car looked empty from the outside 
) most cabbies in manila work 12-hour shifts.
