About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Uganda, ke-ganda

3rd day at Uganda, Africa. Work-wise, the past few days have been relatively easy on us. Well, at least most of us.

This is my 3rd time in the African continent and my first in Uganda. I can't say that I would want to live here but I will say that I love the weather, especially at night. Though there's much left to be said about the sights, sounds and even the smell of this place. I will not touch on that any further. *wink!*

Monyonoyo Commonwealth Resort is located a few minutes away from the capital city, Kampala. It's a five-star resort that pretty much reminds me of Baguio, Tagaytay and Batangas rolled into one back home.




Just thinking about home makes me miss it even more. And eventhough this trip to Africa was planned a long time back I somehow still feel that this was an abrupt trip. It feels like someone just pulled me off my bed and dragged me to go here.



Good thing I have my handy camera with me and I took some pretty awesome shots (in my personal opinion!). Speaking of camera, I was wondering... I saw quite a number of people naming their cameras... their dSLRs. As to why? I really don't know. But I have yet to name my own d60. Haven't given it much thought yet. Do you guys have any suggestions? I'm thinking, BEBEH or HUNNY BUN! HAHAHA! I'm kidding of course, but when I do come up with a name, I'll make sure to let ya'll know.



Reejoie actually got the first shot of this freakin' huge bird since she arrived a day earlier. So I decided to hunt for this Crane and take a picture of it myself. Of course I highly doubt if this was the same bird but if it was then it's only lucky animal.

***I took quite a number which you could see at my multiply site.


Here are a few more artsy-fartsy shots I took while smoking, loitering, lingering, walking and everything else in between, including working.


This was the brick wall where I ever-so-considerately extinguish my cigarettes after I'm done puffing my death smoke. Doesn't it look nice? Tee-hee!




These are wristbands given to our participants. My job is actually to tally all the wristbands to whoever I registered for the day on my table. But just as luck may have it, I am missing one. And I am hoping not to be royally screwed because it. Oh well... I took a nice photo of them though. I was also asked by Jong to take another shot of this using the corporate camera, to which I gladly obliged and he used it for our website. Love it!

PS. I can't wait to be back home and fix my new apartment. I miss home and everything about it.
