Tomatos Originally uploaded by Jepster I just love tomatoes. It's funny that I used to hate it when I was a child. Prepare it with some fresh basil leaves, crumbled feta cheese, some sliced black olives, and drenched in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yum yum yum. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
The business seats on the flight to Sydney was much nicer. My seat was on the second floor on the first row just at the back of the cockpit which is cool because of two things: You get to catch glimpses of what they do in there whenever a crewmember would speak to the pilots (I could actually hear some of the navigation instruments when we were landing - it was a digital voice counting down presumably the altitude reading) and more importantly you get to be served first - haha! I watched a couple of movies before sleep overcame me (I haven't had mu…
The trip from the house to the airport was uneventful although the taxi driver kept asking questions on which route to take implying that he was not familiar with the way to the airport (very suspicious!, I think it's just a ploy to use a circuitous route by taking the wrong turns on purpose). Going through the NAIA airport is always stressful for me. I arrived before the check-in counter was open so I had a few minutes to spare. The immigration queue was unusually long. I think I spent more than half an hour. A lot of passengers were being sent bac…
Friday night. Hardly slept. I spent a lot of time deciding what stuff to bring. I wanted to travel as light as possible so I had to reduce the amount of clothes from a huge pile into a reasonable size that can fit into a standard sized carry-on luggage. It's currently wintertime in Australia and I hope I could survive with just a sweater and a jacket on top of that. The temperature forecast on weather.com for Sydney has lows of up to 5 degrees but the average temperature is 10 to 15 degrees. I ended up with just a small trolley luggage and a knapsac…
Fire Tree Originally uploaded by Jepster . As if the hot atmosphere and brilliant sun is not enough to remind us that summer is here, the brilliant red fire trees all over the golf course just screams summer! At this time of the year, the tress lose most of their leaves and red flowers begin appearing all over the branches. These tress are all over the place and the one pictured above is at the golf course near the road going to the our office. A few of my colleagues and I just couldn't resist taking a little break from work and examine the trees…
Coconut Originally uploaded by Jepster . Just thought I'd try this SHOZU thing I keep on hearing about. Shot taken from a Vodafone-802SE but uploaded using a Nokia N70 music edition via Shozu. My SE phone wasn't supported. Dang...
DSCF1073 Originally uploaded by Jepster . A couple of kittens just suddenly showed up on our doorstep a few days ago and haven't left the area since. We don't even know where they came from. There are a few cats free to roam around outside but we never noticed anybody who's pregnant. The other cats seem to tolerate them though and they don't mind sharing the leftover cat food in the bowls. I'm not really a cat person myself but one of my neighbors is. She would take all of the neighborhood stray cats under her wing and attach ref…
