Manila Memorial Park

Dusk kissing the cemetery grounds. . .

"The hallowed ground of a graveyard holds the fragments of countless stories,
each one a reminder of the rich tapestry of human existence."

"As flowers bloom upon gravestones, 

they serve as a gentle reminder that life finds its way even amidst the echoes of the past."

"Amidst the somber silence,
a graveyard becomes a sanctuary for reflection,
inviting contemplation of life's purpose and meaning."

"In the labyrinth of gravestones, we find solace,
connecting us to our roots and reminding us of the legacy we leave behind."

Salad is Life

Feeling healthy and made something to dig in today.
It may not be too special however this is what I really love to eat most especially during summer.

Ingredients:
Romain Leaves
Cucumber
Tomato
Red Bell Pepper
White Onions
Black Pepper

Dressing:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup white vinegar (adjust to taste for sharpness)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp brown sugar (any type) or 1 1/2 tbsp honey

Preparation:
This is very simple because all you need to do is to mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

• Combined all dressing ingredients together in a separate small bowl or bottle for mixing.

Sedeño Makati Underpass

The Sedeño Makati Underpass serves as a vital link between Ayala Triangle and Salcedo Village. Previously, I frequently used this underpass to quickly access the Ayala Triangle bus stop for transportation to Buendia or Baclaran. 

Traditionally, underpasses in Makati have been adorned with art deco advertisements from well-known food, tech, and service brands, which lease the space for commercial use. However, my recent visit to the Sedeño underpass revealed a remarkable transformation. Its walls and ceiling are now adorned with NBA teams' logos and player images, creating an electrifying NBA atmosphere. 

This unique display sets it apart from other underpasses in Makati and evokes a sporty vibe that prompts passersby to pause and admire the portraits of their favorite basketball players. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail in the underpass, from the ceiling to the floor. The floor, in particular, has been designed to resemble the wooden flooring of a basketball court. 

The entire underpass is undeniably Instagram-worthy, as evidenced by my own return visits to goof around, take photos, and snap some selfies!😅

What a beautiful morning...

Sharing what the morning sky looked like...

"The sky is an expansive canvas, painted with the brushstrokes of nature's imagination."

"Beneath the wide-open sky, we find a sense of freedom and limitless possibility."

"The ever-changing sky reflects the myriad emotions of our souls,

 from stormy clouds to serene blue."

The Smiling Moon

The moon is a loyal companion.

It never leaves.

It’s always there, watching, steadfast,

knowing us in our light and dark moments,

changing forever just as we do.

"The full moon mirrors our souls, reflecting the depths of our emotions and reminding us to embrace all aspects of ourselves."

"As the full moon rises, it ignites a spark of inspiration within us, urging us to dream big and pursue our deepest desires."

"Gazing at the full moon, we can't help but feel a sense of wonderment, as if we are connected to the vastness of the universe."

"Sunsets are a natural spectacle that humbles us, reminding us of our place in the vastness of the universe and the transient nature of our existence."

"As the sun dips below the horizon, it leaves a sense of possibility in its wake, inviting us to dream and imagine what lies ahead."

iStariray23 Photos - Luneta

I love the sunset today here in Luneta Fountain Park.

Though I am too far away from the shore

The sky is reflecting the beauty of the setting sun. . .

"The setting sun's rays of warmth and beauty gently caress our spirit, filling us with a sense of calm and contentment."

"Sunsets are a daily reminder that endings can be just as breathtaking as beginnings if we choose to see them that way."

"The setting sun paints the sky in vibrant hues, leaving a trail of magic behind, a gift for those who take the time to look up."

«´¨`·..¤::*~*iStar-Tariray-23*~*:¤..·´¨`»

Before I reached the fountain park, I passed by these murals that I can't help myself not to snap some pictures and a selfie. . .
