It's all about Christmas!

"PAROL "


"Tradition Christmas" for Filipino during december is much more interesting than any other countries celebrating the birth of Jesus. Perhaps Filipinos celebrate the longest Christmas in the Christian world as far i'm concern.

The Parol - This symbolize the filipino craftsmanship, Ever since, it has become a traditional decor on window eaves and doorways. Without this "Parol" in your home definitely you are lacking the spirit of christmas!!!

As families and friends gather to celebrate Christmas, we remember all the blessings that fill our lives, beginning with the great blessing that came on a holy night in Bethlehem. The birth of Jesus is a central religious event; an example of God's profound love for humanity; and the pathway to hope and to new life. Today, the Christmas story still speaks to every generation.This holiday season, as we share in the spirit of giving and enjoy familiar Christmas traditions, we give thanks for the wonder of God's love and rededicate ourselves to helping those in needs. We are wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the peace and goodwill of the season fill every heart and warm every home.

The Central Business District of Singapura

The Downtown Core includes high-density buildings along the Singapore River . This is the famous cityskyline of Singapore, a lot of photographers have this image on their precious vault. If you come to Singapore you should have this pictures in your hand and if you don't have then you're not been in Singapore and you miss the "uniquely singapore" that the tourism offer to all tourists visiting Singapura.

My favorite place in Singapore

Lower Pierce reservoir park, Singapore

One of the places in the Singapore that I loved, definitely the sunset here is so amazing and the water is very calm. I always comes back here to relax and take photographs too. Many locals and expat go here to jog, fishing, picnic, biking, and relax. Like me they love this place very much...

Sometime I used to do a paparazzi mode here because many kids are playing and also if I'm lucky a Pre-Nuptial session is being held here by some wedding photographer.
I think a lot of wedding photographers used to go here because they know that this place is a good place to shoot their clients(soon to be married).

I will never forget this place in my heart co'z it captured me deep inside very deeply........

For all who want to see the beauty of this place:

By Bus
Take services 167, 855 and 980. Alight along Upper Thomson Road, near Casuarina Road. Walk along Old Upper Thomson Road towards Lower Peirce Reservoir Park. The entrance to the Trail is along this road.
