Second Stop- “The City of Angels”

Everyone knows Los Angeles, even those people who haven’t really visited this place, like in my case it’s my first time here, but it seems to me that I’m most likely familiar with some of the most talked about places here. These are all contributed to the industries around this city, which includes movie and television companies, that makes it well-known everywhere for very obvious reason. IT hubs are also around here. Like, most of the outsourced projects that we got from the Philippines are coming from different companies here, like my previous company.

But, I was so amazed to see lots of immigrants here aside from Mexicans of course. Before I’ve heard that there’s a lot of Filipinos but it seems that Koreans are now around the place. But, it’s nice I feel like I’m just around Manila.

What really impressed me here is the transportation. I can go everywhere from North to South, well aside of course that I just live near Downtown area. They have DASH to tour you around Downtown area, also the different buses that goes around the different areas of the city and the metro trail which help me commute from Downtown LA to Orange County, for me that’s amazing since I’m just touring the place, I don’t have my own chauffeur and car. :) By the way if you're commuting the LA metro website is really great I used it a lot especially the trip planner. :)

They have great restaurants too, I remember a friend of mine, we went to this authentic Greek Restaurant papa cristo , and fortunately when we visited they have this traditional Greek dining…long tables are set, where everybody sits, wine tasting are also available, while great Greek food is being serve.

Here are some of the pictures.  (Sssh I’m a trying hard photographer) . Hmm but it’s really tempting to get a very nice camera though and enroll photography. 

Busy days...means busyness or business?!

Let's see if my busyness is equal to business. Whatever it takes, busy for me is something to be thankful. :) Wondering why? ... if we have something to do, that means we're not idle or lazy. An opportunity for us to keep moving. But for some busy for them is just an excuse to something, like not calling a loved one, friend or a missed occasion. :) Let me recall how's my "busyness" for the past weeks. Had a great time in Ohio, what a long drive!, long drive is sometimes great if you're just the passenger lol! You have time to look around, think while napping ( how's is it possible? lol) well, it's possible for me...it's just like day dreaming! :). A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...

Halloween, Undas or All Souls/Saints Day!

Back in the Philippines , we’re not used to celebrating Halloween like here in the US, where people wear costumes, decorates their houses with Halloween stuff and kids go trick or treating; and every household prepare candies.:) Though, there are some in the Philippines celebrate Halloween, but it’s not very common to us Filipinos. We celebrate this event by remembering our dead loved ones. We usually call it Undas is the Filipinized version of All Saints/Souls Day. This is a national celebration, a time of year where for most of us Filipinos consider as Family reunion. :) We like family gatherings. :) We often go to the cemetery and clean the graveyards and paint the tombs of our loved ones, also we offer prayers, flowers and prayers. Like me, I've always look forward to this celebration, being with the whole family, to take time of from work, especially with people who work far away from home, this is a great opportunity for them to visit family and definitely enjoy famil...
