2021: The People of Québec
So, from September 17th to the 20th, I had the golden chance to visit Québec. There I met a few cool Québecois and other non-Québecois living there. French or Français is the dominant language there, but most young locals can easily switch to English, which is awesome. (I wish we could do that in the… Continue reading

2021: The People of Bregenz, Austria
As posted earlier last month, I visited Austria to attend my sister’s wedding. And while there, I got to meet some strangers along the way, even if it was only for a minute or a moment. Knowing me, I’m usually a shy introvert. So, I want to thank God and street photography that I can… Continue reading

2021: To Mask or Not to Mask in Manhattan
A couple of weeks ago, before Manhattan officially allowed “vaccinated” folks to walk the streets maskless, I was in this very city all masked up. So, these were my thoughts while walking through the streets. Also, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph strangers with their permission and with their masks on. 🙂 While the majority… Continue reading

2021: Memory Lane at Port Jeff
So, the other day I visited Port Jeff (short for Port Jefferson) – or Down Port, as the locals call it. It brought back a lot of memories and it is one of the highlights on Long Island. It’s about a twenty minute drive from my house or about two hours by train from Manhattan. And… Continue reading

2021: Visiting the Nassau County Museum of Art
Long Island – I stood on acres and acres of grass, surrounded by abstract art. A series of metal rectangular shapes were positioned one behind the other almost ready to fall like a domino. Another work of art appeared like a lid from a beer barrel that floated on the pond, where the ducks and… Continue reading

2018: The People of Iceland – Part One
I think Iceland has become a top travel destination. And I imagine that once the pandemic is diminished there will be more tourists flooding there. Before September of 2018, I had no idea what Iceland was or even of its existence. When I first heard of Iceland, it just conjured up scenes from the ice… Continue reading

2019: A Stroll through the City
The weather app forecasted a chance of rain. Thankfully, though, the blue skies stayed put. In the mid afternoon my mom and I strolled through Manhattan through 10th and 9th Avenue away from the brewing crowds in Times Square. We just came from a Play about Filipinos and immigration called Felix Starro. And I wanted… Continue reading

2019: Audience of the Opera
From time to time, or, rather whoever will pay for me, I enjoy going to the Opera! It’s a fun experience to dress up or just to people watch. Last Thursday, March 28th, with my parents we headed towards Lincoln Center in New York where the Metropolitan Opera was. We watched Samson and Delilah. It’s… Continue reading

2018: Are you guys Filipinos?
My mom and I were strolling through an outdoor mall and this guy walked up to us, asking, “Hey, are you guys Filipinos?” Later on, we found out that he was half-Italiano and half-Filipino. His mother is Filipina. Thus he desired to know more about his Filipino Culture, such as the best cities to visit.… Continue reading
