Blue banca/Blue Monday

Graffiti/Signs


Drive-by shots of graffiti along Cardinal Rosales Avenue in Cebu City.  Taken in late March while I was stuck in traffic.


The caption of the painting below is "Bunga Ng Iresponsableng Mga Magulang" or literally, "fruit of irresponsible parents".  I'm not sure if the painting depicts a drug addict or somebody with birth defect.  It reminds me of Gollum, J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional character.

La Tegola/Signs


I was waiting for two friends for lunch at a coffee shop in Ayala Mall-Cebu in mid-March when I took these photos.  The top photo is the entrance to the mall gardens, there is also a Starbucks and a bookstore.  Zoomed in at the sign of an Italian restaurant below Starbucks.  Love their appetizers and pasta dishes.

Mellow Yellow Monday #27: Pilgrim Center

@ mirandablue
This is the Pilgrim Center right in front of the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino, a 16th century church in Cebu.  This is where masses are held to accommodate devotees of the Santo Nino. I'm not sure if the yellow panels are doors or wall design.

@ mirandablue
Looking down on earth a few minutes after take off from Mactan International Airport in Cebu. Above photo is an aerial view of a part of Bohol and below is the tip of Mactan island.  The two sky-scrappers are the Hilton Hotel.

Plumeria rubra/Today's Flowers #11

@ mirandablue

Franginani, Calachuchi [Plumeria rubra]


To analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music;
it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy,
than to attempt to fully understand.
