RPM: huge musical fountain show!

one of the best unforgettable 30 minute shows in the Philippines is the Musical Fountain in Luneta Park, Manila also known as Rizal Park, where the monument of Philippine's national hero Jose Rizal also stands. it is a synchronized and alternated display of water, lights, fire and fireworks comparable to Sentosa's song of the Sea in Singapore. the musical fountain show is one of the many attractions where adult, kids by heart and kids by feeling will surely enjoy.

at the day, we went at the Children's Playground and the playground is very colorful. and then at night we went to the other side of the Luneta Park where the musical fountain is. when my niece and nephew saw the musical fountain they say, "WOOWWWW"! we are really amazed by the musical fountain. there were lots of people visiting everyday, and we have braved the crowd just to see the musical dancing fountain because its holidays.

the fountain show come alive 25-30 minutes show. this is done by using the effects of timed sound waves and time light. it also the most famous landmark in Manila.

here's a short video of the dancing fountain. sorry about the quality and the audio, the music playing was "Bad Romance", we're planning to go back at Luneta Park. :)

ayala triangle garden: lights and sound show!

this past few days everyday we go out. and today, me and my nieces, nephews and my cousins went to ayala triangle gardens to see the lights and sound show. located at the heart of the central business district. the symphony lights show starts around 6pm to 9pm everyday till January. the lights and show come alive every 30 minutes. i got amazed with the number of lights i saw hanging in the trees! lucky, we went there before the starts of the lights and sound show. we had a great time esp the kids.

there a lot of things to do in the Ayala Triangle Gardens without spending a dime. there are a lot of restaurants in the area in case you and your family or date gets hungry. but before going there we prepared and brought a food esp for the kids so we don't go to restaurant and for us to get save money.

the place is conducive for jogging because there are a lot of trees in the area, so it is easier to breathe. there are also a park benches where you can sit, watch the lights and have quality time with your family or loved one.

the place is also a feast of photography enthusiasts. ever since i love to take pictures. i love photography. honestly, every time we go out with them, i am their photographer, i practiced my photography skills with them as a subject. but this time, i asked my cousins to take me a lot of photos with myself (as you can see below) :)

They are wearing different colors and size of "Angry Birds" shirt

we'll be back here soon to witness the lights and sound show. we heard they even added more lights!

finally, our next destination tomorrow is, we are going to Rizal Park for another Christmas lights show again. a dancing lights show!

so, see you there!

guess who our neighbor unit mate is???

the title is not entirely accurate. i'm referring to a new "unit" mate. he lives right beside our . yeah, in the condo we was raving about.

Yaphet F. Kotto!!! :) an African American actor

he moved in 4 months ago. and he married a Filipina wife, named Marites. tehy took the big unit on the same floor like ours (4th floor) with its own big room and a veranda on the side, front and back. they took the big unit room 4 months ago before i got back from Singapore. Meanwhile, her wife approached me (with my cousins) to say "Thank you" for the cable tv splitter.

i knew him before because i've seen him in the movie, "The Running Man", "Alien", Live and Let Die, James Bond and many more. actually, just yesterday we watched the james Bond at star tv channel. he is really a good actor. another thing is,

he is also a director, a producer and a writer too. right now he's been writing all day long of his upcoming hollywood movie. he preferred to live in a huge condo, with all the things he needed already furnished. Plus, it really is a great place. a huge huge garden big room and a trees in front.

he's really friendly and nice. :) we're liking him already. we we're friends at facebook already, so, that's it! :)

Singapore: the city of lions

i had been to Singapore many times and it was my very first trip to Asia. the last time i was in Singapore it was i had visited the new Universal Studio and its famous Marina Bay Sands. Below are the top Singapore attractions

2 months

hi everybody, so as of six months ago i have been in Singapore for two months. seriously, i went there for work and i've been there for holidays so many times. but i can't believe what i did for my last trip for some specialreasons. what really an unforgettable experience! :D Singapore is really a beautiful place, and it actually reminds me a lot there. and additional to that, i will write a little bit more about whats happening with me this past few weeks. first: i had a car accident, second: i lost/ my pouch with my ATM, my driving license plus a worth of 2,800 peso inside my pouch. i had a slight physical injuries secondary to VA. I had an abrasions of my left foot and right foot, soft tissue swelling left and right leg, and a hematoma right lower thoraxic area.

my first CT scan ever...

it's a slight injury but the pain scale was 8/10. (10 is the highest) few days ago, i got a sprained wrists too. thinking that the pain would subside but it seems otherwise it hurts soo bad. i admitted for three days coz i cannot function well. one whole month or more night of worries, at last i am being recovered. sincere thanks who prayed for me and my health. special thanks to my family and my cousins for being understanding, caring and thoughtful esp my mom despite everything happened. that's what i love the most about them.

a lot running through my mind.. but because of the things happened, unfortunately, due for some reasons i gave up easily just like that *snap*. i gave up everything, i gave up my soul, i gave up everything... but still at the end it were all totally gone everything.

what if i followed my family's advice? what if i followed my head over my heart?

whatever it is, past is past. i had no regrets for what i did. what i am excited all about is, i can't wait to go back at Singapore on next year *hopefully*
