Senti Ako

Four years na ako dito sa Qatar at katatapos lang ipa-renew ng residence permit ko for another two years. Medyo nag-senti ako. Ewan ko ba, inatake yata ako ng homesickness. Wala lang, naisip ko gano pa kaya kami katagal dito. Naalala ko yong mga parents ko, close relatives saka yong mga friends ko.

Sa April 2009 pa ang schedule namin ni Walter na umuwi. Pero dahil nagse-senti-senti nga ako, nagbalak tuloy ako umuwi sa darating na Hulyo kasabay ng kapatid ko saka ng parents ko para magkita-kita naman kami. OFW din ang father ko kaya hindi namin sya masyadong nakasama noong lumalaki kami. Kung tuwing ikalawang taon lang kami uuwi gaya ng ginagawa namin ngayon eh limang beses ko lang makikita ang parents ko sa loob ng 10 taon. Tumatanda na ang parents ko. 55 na sila ngayon at 10 years mula ngayon 65 na sila. Naisip ko, siguro dapat taon-taon na kami umuwi kahit sandaling bakasyon lang. I’m sure gusto rin ni Walter na mas madalas umuwi para makita ang parents at lola nya.

Kayo, malayo din ba kayo sa magulang nyo? Gaano nyo sila kadalas dalawin?

Not Feeling Well

I'm not feeling well :( I woke up with a slight fever and couldn't get up from the bed. I called my office to inform them I can't come for work. It would have been a good opportunity to catch up with my posts but I also couldn't stand using computer for long periods. I hope to be better soon!

LP - Hugis Pahaba

Para sa linggong ito, ang aking lahok ay larawan ng dalawang sikat na istruktura sa Europa: ang Belfry ng Bruges, Belgium at Eiffel Tower ng Paris, France. Ang mga ito ay itinuturing na mahalagang simbulo ng kanilang mga bansa.

Ang Belfry ng Bruges ay itinayo noong taong 1240. May taas itong 83 metro at ang mga turista ay pwedeng makarating sa tuktok nito sa pamamagitan ng pag-akyat sa 366 na baitang ng makitid at matarik nitong hagdan. Katulad ng ibang mga Belfry, dito nakatago ang mga treasury at archives ng Bruges noong unang panahon. Ito rin ay nagsisilbing watch tower sa pagbabantay kung may sunog at iba pang panganib. Subalit noong taong 1280, ang Belfry ay nasunog. Muling itong itnayo ngunit ang mga archives ay hindi na naisalba pa. Ang octagonal lantern at wooden spire ay idinagdagdag sa pagitan ng taong 1482 at 1486. Subalit matapos masunog ang wooden spire noong 1493 at 1741, hindi na ito muling itinayo. Sa ngayon, ang belfry tower ay mayroong carillion na may 47 na kampanilya. Ang musika ng carillion ang nakapagbigay halina sa mga turista ng Bruges.

Samantala, ang Eiffel Tower naman ang pinakamataas na istruktura sa France. Kinikilala rin ito sa buong mundo bilang simbolo nf France. Ito ay may taas na 325 metro kasama ang 24 metro na antenna. Ginawa ito noong taong 1887 at 1889 at ginamit para sa Exposition Universelle. Sa ngayon, ito ay nagsisilbing communications tower. Ipinangalan siya kay Gustave Eiffel na siya ring nagdisenyo nito. Si Gustave Eiffel din ang may gawa sa Statue of Liberty sa New York, Basilica de Sebastian at Quezon Bridge sa Maynila.

New Addition to Our Family

Baby James is the newest additon to our Family :) He was born on April 17th via CS delivery. It's sad that I won't be able to hold and hug him until my next vacation in April 2009. Hayyyyy...

Litratong Pinoy - Apat na Kanto

Ito ang Qatar Museum of Islamic Arts na idinesenyo ni I.M. Pei na siya ring nagdisenyo ng Pyramid sa Louvre Museum. Mapapansing ang bawat gilid nito ay gawa sa APAT NA SULOK. Bago lamang ito at sa aking pagkaka-alam ay hindi pa bukas sa publiko.

Ito ang aking lahok na larawan para sa lingguhang meme na Litratong Pinoy. Kung nais lumahok, bisitahin lamang ang sapotpahina (webpage, LOLs) ng Litratong Pinoy.

This is the Qatar Museum of Islamic Arts, which was designed by I.M. Pei who also designed the Pyramid of Louvre Museum. You will notice that each side is made of four corners. This is a new building and yet to be inaugurated.

Join Doha Pinoy Shooters Group!

Walter and I just joined Doha Pinoy Shooters group. It is a group formed by Pinoy residents in Doha who are interested in photography (newbie and experienced). The group has 73 members (current as of today) and still growing. There are also other nationalities who joined but majority of the members are Pinoys. By joining Doha Pinoy Shooters, we hope to learn from other members and be inspired by them. Actually, I'm just a wannabe. My husband is the one really interested in photography. If you are also interested to become a member, visit the Doha Pinoy Shooters Flickr page.

Litratong Pinoy - Tatlo ang Sulok Ko

Ang litrato sa taas ay kuha sa loob ng Burj Al-Arab Hotel, isang sikat na Hotel na matatagpuan sa Dubai, UAE at may kategoryang "pitong bituin." Ito ang tanawin kung titingala habang nasa gitna ng hotel. Hindi ba't TATLO ANG SULOK nya? Ang larawan naman sa ibaba ay ang mismong gusali ng hotel. Ang disenyo ng hotel na ito ay ibinase sa hugis ng layag kung kaya ang kabuuan ng bawat gilid nya ay may TATLONG SULOK din.

Sa ngayon, ito ang pinakamataas na gusali sa buong mundo sa kategoryang hotel. Nagpunta kami rito noong 2006 ngunit bilang mga turista lamang dahil napakamahal ng kanilang mga kuwarto. Ang pinakamura nilang kuwarto ay nagkakahalaga ng hindi bababa sa USD 1,000 kung kaya itinuturing itong isa sa pinaka mahal na hotel sa buong mundo. Ang website ng Burj Al Arab ay maari ring bisitahin kung nais ng karagdangang impormasyon tungkol sa kanilang serbisyo.

Ipagpaumanhin nyo na masisimulan ko lamang ang pagbisita sa inyong mga larawan sa Huwebes ng gabi o Biyernes ng umaga, oras dito (GMT +3). Biyernes po kasi ang araw ng aming pahinga.

Translation:
The first photo is the interior of Burj Al-Arab Hotel, a famous seven-star hotel in Dubai, UAE. This is the view if one is looking up from the center of the ground floor. Did you notice the THREE CORNERS above? The second photo is the Burj Al Arab building. The hotel was shaped like a sail of a dhow boat. If you notice, each side of the hotel also have THREE CORNERS.

This is so far the highest Hotel building in the world. We went here in 2006 but as tourists only because we cannot afford their room (it's all suites). The cheapest room costs more than USD 1,000 that is why they are considered one of the most expensive hotels in the world. For more information regarding their services, you can also visit Burj Al Arab website.

I will start visiting your photos on Thursday night or Friday Morning (Doha time) (GMT +3). Friday is our rest day.

Litratong Pinoy - Ako ay Bilog

Iba't-ibang mga Butones

Ang mga ito ay iba't-ibang butones mula sa mga bagong damit na kung minsan ay may kasamang ekstrang butones kapag ibinenta. Iniipon ko ang mga ito dahil baka sakaling kailanganin ko sila sa mga darating na araw. Kayo, iniipon n'yo rin ba ang mga ektrang butones ng inyong damit?

Translation:
These are different buttons from my clothes which came with extra buttons. I save these because I might need them in the future. How about you, do you also keep those extra buttons from your clothes?

What Do You See?

Look at the poster. What do you see?

A few weeks ago, this poster is all over Doha. At first glance, the background looks like a woman in bikini. I'm sure the poster wasn't designed to look that way because the government will not allow such. But it's really deceiving at first glance. Tell me, did you have the same thoughts?
