Jatujak appetizer

 My taste buds were craving for something spicy and I found myself at Jatujak, a Thai resto at Megamall.  Here's the sampler appetizer for our entree---shrimp cakes, fresh and fried spring rolls with 3 kinds of dip.  Everything on this plate was scrumptious, the dips were simply divine!  The spicy dip has a kick that hurts like hell, but in a good way.:p

LP: Pagbabalik [return]

Sana ay maaliwalas ang iyong pagbabalik---walang traffic, walang bagyo o baha, walang anumang sagabal sa daan.  Maghihintay ako.

May you have a peaceful return--no traffic to slow you down, no  typhoon or flood, nothing to hinder your way.  I will wait for you.

Gloomy Guijalo Port [Watery and Outdoor Wednesday]

They say that into every life some rain must fall...and it did on our way to Caramoan.  After a choppy 2-hour boat ride, a rainy and overcast Guijalo Port greeted us when we finally arrived.  An unforeseen weather in the middle of summer,  it was a bit uncomfortable but it was also preparing us for the good times to come.  We accepted it as a blessing, and it didn't dampen our spirits---after all, it took us almost 18 hours to get here.  We were determined to enjoy our vacation!  Our boatman assured us there would sunshine the next morning---and true enough, a luscious dawn and a golden sunrise welcomed us  when we woke up.

Dawn [My World-Tuesday]

@ mirandablue

One of the rare occasions when I watch the dawn break and enjoy the stillness of an early morning scene. This was taken from the deck of our cottage in Tabgon, overlooking Paniman Bay at the Caramoan Peninsula.

Railroad Bridge [Sunday Bridges]

The Railroad Bridge opened up for an approaching boat at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks---almost always referred to as the Ballard Locks in Seattle. It was my first visit to a lock and I was amazed at how it worked---boats travel from the salty Puget sound to the fresh waters of Salmon Bay, Lake Union, Portage Bay, Lake Washington and vice-versa. The locks were originally built in 1911 for coal and timber transportation.
