Good bye 2011! It has been a good year but 2012 holds a lot of promise. The recent holiday season, we had a lot of foreign relatives visitng our humble home in the Philippines, it was fitting that I stay in the metro but it was a fun staycation.

Ayala Triangle Symphony of Lights

Ayala Symphony of Lights (Olympus E-PL1, Lumix 20mm, F1.7, 1/60, ISO 800)

I had a chance to visit the Ayala Triangle Gardens this evening and the Symphony of Light was wonderful. Coming from conducting a Photo Talk, then a warehouse sale, decided to drop by here check out the night lights here. It was really nice, the music, the effects and the lights were really captivating. I only have my Olympus E-PL1 with me and my new Lumix Pancake Lens 20mm F1.7. It was a great way to test it out on this low-light condition. I’m glad I was able to compose shots hand-held with this really fast lens. Do check out the show every night with up to 8pm with 30 minutes interval. Will surely go back here.

Cory Aquino's Cortege passing by Buendia Makati

Corazon Aquino, the beloved former president of the Philippines died of colon cancer in August 1 2009. She has been a symbol of peace and freedom for the Filipino people and well remembered for the peaceful revolution on EDSA 1986. Her death sparked deep emotions and overflowing gratitude for the gift of freedom she gave to the Filipinos.
