That picture at the bottom. Nice to live close to the ocean, just that area , the houses doesn't have backyard where you can hangout. The only thing about beach side houses is that, they are expensive to maintain such as repainting and keeping the metal part of the house not rust, the same goes with your vehicles needs to be constantly washed or the paint would fade and the metal would rust quicker. Being close to the ocean tends to wear alot of things out because of the sea salt. I mean yeah you don't submerge or get any sea water on your house but the wind carry it to your houses and sometimes when it rains, it carry he mist from the sea through these houses, especially the one closest to the beach. shyaman November 20th, 2008, 11:24 AM ^^ Hmmm... that's a good point mid.

Merry Christmas :D mwg12a December 22nd, 2008, 11:58 AM 21 pa lang si bong? ang aga mong graduate sa college? heck, most people in the US usually finish college at 23. You must be an A1 student in college. But then again, weren't the Aussie gov has age limit on the age of an engineer? I mean when taking the national board of licensure for engineers or something. you're an engineer right? shyaman December 22nd, 2008, 12:09 PM ^^ It's my 21st birthday, again. :lol Just wishing mid:D Australia has no engineering licensure examination. Once you get a degree from university, you're an outright professional engineer. Sounds nice but it's not easy to get to uni for a degree here. I got mine from the Phils. :D Thanks biboy... kiretoce December 22nd, 2008, 12:17 PM Fun photos, shyaman! Thanks for sharing. :colgate: icarusrising December 22nd, 2008, 01:49 PM ^^ I agree. With the videoke, parang nasa Pinas lang ah. I love the night scenes too. What's the temperature there in December, Manong Bong? Lili December 22nd, 2008, 04:17 PM December 13th, the gang had a simple gathering at my place to celebrate the yuletide season. Unfortunately, some who were already on holidays missed the occasion. Could have been more fun if all were present... Early guests... http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/Christmas%20Party%202008/DSC_0003a.jpg These two are so in love. You can see in their body language -- all touchy feely and possessive. Must be in the early throes of their relationship. :D Nice gathering, Bong. You must be such a swell friend. It's a nice crowd. :) mwg12a December 23rd, 2008, 12:31 AM ^^^ Nagjelly naman itong si manang lili, sina ba ang puwedeng ipartner sa iyo?

Thanks for sharing. :colgate: Thank you too for viewing kimber. :D ^^ I agree. With the videoke, parang nasa Pinas lang ah. I love the night scenes too. What's the temperature there in December, Manong Bong? Everytime you call me 'manong' I always feel that I'm not 21 anymore :lol:. Bong na lang para di masyadong halata :D The temp here is quite freaky actually. It's summer and yet we still have 23°C days at times when it should be between 35°-42°C already. Evidently, there's climate change. These two are so in love. You can see in their body language -- all touchy feely and possessive. Must be in the early throes of their relationship. :D Nice gathering, Bong. You must be such a swell friend. It's a nice crowd. :) They're very much in love nga. He's a good man and blends well with his girlfriend's Pinoy friends. He can easily adapt to Filipino culture kaya enjoy din sya sa kalokohan namin unlike other pooties. In fact they're both in the Philippines now for a 2-week holiday. ^^^ Nagjelly naman itong si manang lili, sina ba ang puwedeng ipartner sa iyo?

There were 24 publicised vantage points for public viewing of the fireworks but Observatory Hill was not among them. As such there were not so many people when we arrived there compared to the vantage points which were already filled as early as midday. http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/NEW%20YEARS%20EVE%202009/DSC_0073.jpg http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/NEW%20YEARS%20EVE%202009/DSC_0072.jpg Thanks to the tip of our very own Bitoy of the Babol Gang who happens to live in one of the apartments across the street.

There was one directly positioned in front of our viewing spot.However the best location is at the other side of the Harbour Bridge. There were extra fireworks from that one side bridge which was not visible to us. But we don't care. The other side can't provide the comfort that we had here. http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/NEW%20YEARS%20EVE%202009/DSC_0080.jpg http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/NEW%20YEARS%20EVE%202009/DSC_0088.jpg ^^ Comfortable enough to capture that smooching moment :D shyaman January 1st, 2009, 08:50 AM The other side of the harbour: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/NEW%20YEARS%20EVE%202009/DSC_0108.jpg http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/NEW%20YEARS%20EVE%202009/DSC_0105.jpg http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/NEW%20YEARS%20EVE%202009/DSC_0102.jpg ^^ That area is one of the publicised vantage points.

Yung fireworks na marami coming from the bridge ay doon sa side facing the opera house. Sobrang dami ng tao doon. Magkakapalitan kayo ng mukha sa siksikan. Tapos yari pag makatabi mo pa yung mga "pana" ma-susuffoctae ka sa amoy nila. :D Yung makikita lang sa side namin na bridge fireworks ay yung papataas from the arch. Kaso di ko masyadong nakunan kasi naka-fix yung camera ko sa fireworks from the barge which is a few hundred metres away from the bridge. shyaman January 2nd, 2009, 09:32 AM ^^ Last year we were lucky to be on the other side of the bridge aboard a docked ferry boat. Kaso this year di nakakuha yung pinsan ko ng complimentary pass to board the ferry. Here's how it looked last year from the other side... pangit nga lang ang gamit kong camera :D: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q128/shyaman_king/New%20Year%202008/IMG_7300.jpg
