Hope for a New Year

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Drive-Thru Lechon

Lechon, or roasted pig, seems to be the choice cut for Christmas dinner here in Manila. People drive up and a vendor wraps the lechon in newspaper and loads it in their trunk.

Like a scene from the 'Sopranos.'

Night time shot at English Bay.

With a light dusting of fresh snow, these benches seemed to take on a life of their own.
