dependable

ito ang carabiner at traxion pulley(?) or non-reversing pulley. ito ang gamit namin sa pag-belay nung mag wall climbing kami. ito ang pipigil sa pagbagsak mo kung sakaling makabitaw ka sa wall habang umaakyat.

at syempre, dapat may gagamit nito para magkaruon ng silbi di ba? sila naman ang mga belayer

ganu katibay 'to? check it out...

the ceiling

this is what you can see on the ceiling of the dome of US capitol house in washington d.c. i took this shot on my first visit here way back year 2001

cannon mountain

kuha ito sa gilid ng cannon mountain na sakop ng white mountain range sa new hampshire, USA. ang taong bundok, kahit saan mapunta eh maghahanap talaga ng pwedeng akyatin o kahit simpleng trek lang, katalo na. kaya yung ibang kasama ko that time sa apartment, napapasama na rin sa akin kasi wala naman silang magagalaan dahil nasa akin yung kotse, heheheh. yung nakikitang nyong guhit ay ang highway (I-93)na dinaanan namin.

at malapit sa paanan ng bundok na ito ay ang echo lake. i was surprise nung makita namin na maraming naliligo dito. kung sabagay, dahil sadyang bulubundukin ang bahaging ito, di nakapagtatakang pinapatos na ito nung malalapit dito bilang alternative sa beach.

the balcony

ito ang aguinaldo shrine sa kawit, cavite. ano ang ginawa ko dito? matapos akong papasukin ng boss ko nuong june 12, oo... nung araw ng kalayaan ay OT ako, pumunta ako ditong mag-isa. first time ko itong puntahan kaya nagtanung tanung lang ako paano makakarating dito, tamang trip lang para may bagong post dito sa blog ko, heheheh!

itinayo ang bahay na ito nuong 1849 at ipinanganak dito si emilio aguinaldo nung 1869 at namatay nuong 1964. sa likod ng bahay na ito matatagpuan ang kanyang libingan.

at sa balkonaheng ito unang iwinagayway ang ating bandilang ginagamit ngayon nuong june 12, 1898. na sinabayan ng pagtugtog ng marcha nacional filipina (national anthem natin ngayon). at ang araw na 'yon ang tinatawag natin ngayong independence day... ngunit masasabi na ba nating ganap na malaya na nga ang bansang pilipinas?

Yayasan Sabah Building

Yayasan Sabah Building (Nikon F60)

The tower-like Yayasan Sabah Building has been likened to a modern Taj Mahal, which changes its colours throughout the day, depending on the clouds, sun and ever changing colours of the sky.

A fitting symbol of Yayasan Sabah, this towering building which looks like a giant rocket ready for launching, not only represents its forward looking attitudes but the whole of Sabah as well - for reflected on the special reflective glass walls of the building is Mt. Kinabalu, the mighty symbol of the State, which although 80 km away can be seen on days when the sky is clear.

langanan waterfall, ranau, sabah, malaysia

after our climb to mt. kinabalu, we decided to go to poring hot spring resort. and of all the attractions here, we decided to visit this waterfall. a 3.4km uphill trek will bring you to this majestic place, it took us about 2 hrs to get here, as if trekking mt. kinabalu is not enough to give us some body pains. but its all worth it. at 120m(394ft) high, it's truly amazing to see this and have a refreshing bath at it's basin. it is higher than our very own ma.christina falls, which is only 320ft high and even higher than niagara falls which is only 167ft.
