Cartagena islets [Watery Wednesday]

@ mirandablue

Drive-by shots from an outrigger boat.  These are clusters of limestone islets off Cartagena Beach in Sipalay City, ancient relics of coral reefs that violently surfaced millions of years ago.  Most parts of these islets are uninhabited but the surrounding area is ideal for diving because of the rich marine life.

These two were spearfishing...and they didn't have to get wet!:p

I wonder if the holes on the coral walls are caves or erosion from thousands millions of years of wave action.

People say that what we're all seeking in life is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experience on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. ~ Joseph Campbell

Public art @ BGC [MWT]

@ mirandablue

Spotted this sculptural installation during my afternoon walk at Bonifacio High Street in Bonifacio Global City (BGC).  BGC has been showcasing big art pieces around strategic locations in this fast-rising, highly-urbanized residential and commercial district.  One weekend, I'll drive around BCG for an art tour to share with you a number of exciting public art pieces that create a vibrant environment for people who work, live and play here.
I couldn't find any info on this sculpture...it reminds me of ET and Paul, the alien.:p

@ mirandablue

Bonifacio Global City is located at the former military base (Fort Bonifacio) in Taguig City, and between the business hubs of Makati and Ortigas Center.  It is linked to Manila's major thoroughfares and seven access points, and a few minutes to both domestic and international airports.

Dirty job [Photo Hunt]

@ mirandablue

A dirty job...but someone's got to do it!  I hope they don't dispose it behind this wall.:p

Spicy Garlic Shrimp Pasta

@ mirandablue

I had pasta overload this past week.  I don't know what came over me---it's probably hormonal.:p  One of the pasta dishes I had was this scrumptious spicy garlic shrimp pasta at Icings Cakes, Breads & Cafe in SM-Frontera Verde. Passed by this cafe countless of times---I thought they were only selling pastries.  Good thing they had their menu displayed by the door when I walked by and I was able to browse through it.  I must say, this was the best shrimp pasta I have in recent memory.  And you bet, I'll try to do this at home.:p

On the edge [Watery Wednesday]

@ mirandablue

If you try to guard yourself against every unlikely danger, you'll never stretch beyond your comfort zone. Don't let the 'what-ifs' run your life. Follow your dreams and have at it.                              --Diane Conway

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over.  Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.  ~ Kurt Vonnegut

@ mirandablue

Take ... the path that runs along the cliff--that one, the one without any guardrails. Take that path, and know the exhilaration of the ride and the pride you feel when you reach the end will inspire you to take that path again and again. And that experience ... every day, will make you more fulfilled, more complete, and more alive.--Harry Beckwith
