Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC)

By livelifeandlove on April 26, 2023

The world renowned Petronas Twin Towers, one of the Malaysia’s most famous icons located at the heart of KLCC. The 88th-storey mega tall held the title as the tallest buildings in the world until 2004, it was surpassed by the next mega structure, the Taipei 101. The skybridge on the 41st floor provides breathtaking views of the city and an excellent viewing platform below from its altitude of 4519 meters (1,483 feet).

The Petronas Twin Towers also called ‘Menara Berkembar Petronas’ (Malay) internationally recognized as the symbol of Kuala Lumpur remained the tallest building in Malaysia until 2019 surpassed by the ‘Exchange 106’. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which is 828 meters tall and has been designated a Mega tall since 2010, is now the highest structure in the world.

With a steel and glass façade typical of the future and a classically decorated interior.

Kuala Lumpur is a diverse and vibrant metropolis that is home to several internationally recognized landmarks. Travel to Malaysia and enjoy a wide variety of exciting experiences.

I couldn’t pay a visit to my fellow bloggers and friends while I was there due to the rainy weather, which prevented me from getting in touch with them. I’m going to miss my friends there, but I promise to come back and the first thing I’m going to do is visit all of them once I get there.

Soon to be posted on the blog will be descriptions of exciting new adventures, stunning new images, and recollections of past ones in Malaysia.

Clearwing Hummingbird Moth

By livelifeandlove on October 17, 2022

Clearwing Hummingbird Olive green in color with a dark reddish-purple coloration on the back of the moth. A day-flying moth that is also one of the most fascinating guests that frequents the garden. A beautiful sunny day brings out the best in this helpful moth’s pollinating abilities. In addition to neither biting or stinging, they are regarded as being beneficial insects. The name denotes that it has clearwings, and the quick movement of its wings, often known as wingbeats, generates a humming sound.

Clearwing Hummingbird The moth tail has the appearance of a lobster’s tail because it extends out in the shape of a fan and is separated into two equal portions.

The Clearwing Hummingbird Moth, depicted in all of the photographs in this article, was hard at work pollinating flowers on the same day and at the same time.

Macro photography presents unique technical challenges, but by getting in close, you’ll see details you would have overlooked before. In a nutshell, these moths are works of art. I first mistook it for a baby hummingbird due to its ability to hover and its erratic flight pattern (backwards and sideways). It was challenging to find a secure footing in which to take photographs.

I was hesitant to photograph insects in direct sunlight due to contrast issues, and since they vanish in a matter of seconds, I had to work very rapidly to get even a handful of usable shots. In addition, I find that the light in the early morning or late afternoon is the softest and most pleasant for photography. These moths are only active during the midday hours, therefore this doesn’t work for them.

Insects like colorful butterflies, dragonflies, and honeybees are just some of the many that can be seen on my website. The vast majority of my photographs are unique or extremely unusual examples. It was pure luck that I was there at the correct time. There are many of nectar-producing flowers in our garden, making it a great site to catch butterflies and bees.

Coron Island Hopping Tour 2022

By livelifeandlove on June 30, 2022

Palawan is a long pencil thin island plus a few stunning island clusters with high limestone cliffs that predominates the blissful seascapes and landscapes. As one might expect the picturesque route down there. The scenic beauty of Coron island is a collection of alluring white sand beaches, hot spring, beautiful lagoons, towering limestone formations, dotted with exquisite clean lakes, caves, wrecks, outstanding coral reefs and unique marine species.

This is a complete guide of Coron Palawan Island Hopping Tour, A guide to the must – visit spots of the beautiful island. I knew this tour is going to be very interesting so I really thought this would be more wholesome to document my unforgettable adventure and I want to make sure everything would be covered not only for my blogs but for magazine cover pictures and U-Tube underwater documentation.

Note: After the death of Eugene, we all experienced negative impact and parental loss so with overwhelming sadness getting a hard time to return to normal life, it may be a process to go through, we all face grief at some point anyway but I have to take care of my grieving children, so I thought the only way to overcome it is to bring my children for a short vacation in Coron, Palawan and Here we go!

Starting Point

Transportation to and from Busuanga Francisco B. Reyes Airport and your hotel is included. Starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m., the trip will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel before taking you to Lualhati Park, a boat island docking park that is more of a baywalk park than a public park. The surrounding islands are conveniently close to Coron, which is a major plus.During your five-day stay in Coron, you’ll get to visit eight different stunning islands, all of which are conveniently close to one another.

Busuanga Airport

My Ultimate Island Adventure-What to Expect

Weeks ago, we made a trip to Coron. Coron, Palawan, is a popular location for tourists from all over the world. Our knowledge is top-notch, full stop. The island’s white sand beaches, magnificent lakes, and lagoons are easily accessible by boat.

Every turn we are greeted with panoramic views.

When you travel to Coron, you may enjoy the island’s natural splendors firsthand. If you want to go island hopping or wreck diving, Lualhati Park is a great place to do it. A trip on the water will take you to a beach with white sand and beautiful lakes and lagoons.

Coron Island Hopping Adventure begins!

As wilderness enthusiasts, we find the surrounding nature to be a major draw. The island of Coron has been set aside as a recreational destination for visitors. The most well-liked water sports are sailing, fishing, swimming, scuba diving, and kayaking.

Lualhati Park

Viewing Deck of Kayanan Lake

Thrilling and Exciting Activities

I swam with the fishes for a delightful hour. I finally got the chance to fulfill a lifelong fantasy when I dove headfirst into the sea to swim with the fishes.

Diver’s Delight

I think these are the marine species seen on regular basis. This is the most enjoyable activity I’ve ever experienced in Coron. I’m joining in the island’s perfect sea life.

When we were here, we rented 3 kayaks for the family with a life vest on board.

The kayaking trip was fantastic. Paddling a kayak around and taking in the breathtaking scenery is a great way to get a feel for the area.

I’m a sporty traveler; very active to dive, to paddle, to sail, float and swim. I can still hold my breath underwater for almost 2 minutes and do tricks to keep going forward..

Placid afternoon swimming

Drone footage captured while floating in space.

It is possible to see marine life. The hidden neck sea turtles (Testudines) and barracuda are regulars at this location.

Kayangan Lake

A place of breathtaking beauty and tranquility. A popular tourist attraction and one among the island of Coron’s most beautiful spots. Its tranquility and the clarity of its water have made it famous. Deep into the lake, you can see corals and fish. I’ve already taken too many images here to stop now. It’s one of my favorite lakes, and we’ll get to Barracuda Lake in a while.

The Beauty of Kayangan Lake

Following above the lake, a cluster of limestone provides visitors with panoramic views fantastically varied rock formations.

Only two of Coron Island’s thirteen lakes are accessible to visitors. Kayangan Lake and Barracuda Lake are two of my favorite places in the world.

The ascent to the observation deck and the descent to the lake’s entrance both take about fifteen to twenty minutes by stairs. Like the Barracuda lake, these stunning cliffs of limestone rise sharply from the water and drop straight down into the depths below.

Grand overview of Kayangan Lake

Pretty cool summer break, a beautiful paradise getaway..

Smith Beach

A fantastic afternoon with crystal clear water.

Most beautiful turquoise water of Smith Beach. It is also known for its calm waters.

Las Islas De Coral

The soothing nature of turquoise seas. Sitting back and watching kingfishers dive headfirst at a set pace to grab fish is a great way to unwind.

Kayangan Cave

Dramatic overhangs cliffside located in front of viewing deck

Sunset Beach

I just love the clarity of the water and whiteness of the sand.

A rewarding feeling of being relaxed and well-pleased.

Barracuda Lake

One of the most well-known lakes worldwide. The entrance of Barracuda Lake is reached after a 20-minute ascent. As you make your way through, the towering cliffs’ mysterious and perilous structures become increasingly apparent at each turn.

Climbing the stairs Barracuda Lake. It was a challenging trek, truly adventurous can climb the stairs up there.

The best diving conditions and most popular dive spots may both be found at Barracuda Lake. This is the most frequented island for scuba divers in all of Coron.

Boulder, an impressive rockfall threatening to fall over. Collapsed in landslide, large blocks of rocks larger than an average car.

Barracuda Lake and Kayangan Lake are only two of the many stunning natural wonders that Coron has to offer.

Coron Island Hopping Tourmates 2022

Twin Lagoon

The most impressive scenery, the waterscape of rare and enchanted beauty with the towering cliffs in the background.

Twin Lagoon

Again, doing something in the water is always a good time. We learned where to make pit stops to observe marine species both above and below the water. As scheduled, we made quite a few pit stops.

CYC Beach

A breathtakingly beautiful white sandy beach and a home to a rich mangrove forest.

The sandy beach reveals a small mangrove forest. Down there you can easily spot starfishes, shrimps and sea corals.

A delightful place to swim and if you are lucky, you may even catch the glimpse of rare species who often hangs up here.

Skeleton Wreck

Coron’s surviving wrecks.

Wreck diving in Coron

Underwater remains of the sunken wartime ship. US Navy aircraft during the Second World War way back September 1944.

Coral Reef Garden

From this vantage point, you can see deep into the sea. There is an ideal snorkeling environment here. Below you will see beautiful coral reefs and gardens. White, violet, and pink corals thrive in this area, along with a wide variety of species.

Our tour guide reminded us not to touch the corals or shells we saw, and instructed us not to collect anything to help preserve the reef. A growing number of individuals, including myself as a tourist, are now aware of this.

Getting There

Bookings for a Coron Island Hopping Tour can be handled through an agency, which can be of great assistance in securing accommodations and tours of your choosing. Transportation to and from the hotel is provided free of charge. Everything from the tourist boat and life vests to the all the necessary licenses and entrance fees, the licensed tour guide, the island’s buffet lunch, the renting of a cottage, and all applicable taxes are included. Go to Coron, that’s the smartest move you can make.

The peak season for tourism is summer. Make your reservations as far in advance as you can, preferably weeks or months. During the summer, it typically reaches its maximum occupancy.

If you haven’t been to Coron, you’ll be pleased to see all the stunning tourist attractions.

The evolution of Coron’s scenic areas is remarkable. Our trip to Coron Island in 2022 was an amazing experience that will stay with us. Coron Island is the perfect destination for any tourist. You’ll have a blast exploring all the exotic resorts.

Our tour guide, Pam-Pam, deserves a big round of applause for being the best tour guide ever. Hello, Pam.

More of my travelogue from Coron Island is on the way…

A Time and Space to Grieve

By livelifeandlove on March 22, 2022

The lengthy voyage of battle ended with the appearance of the morning star in the eastern sky, signaling the beginning of a new day free of tremendous anguish and suffering. He didn’t say a word as dawn broke around him. At long last, he knew the way to his final resting place. His death occurred at first light on February 12. It’s been over a month and the pain is still unbearable.

Gene passed away a year after being diagnosed with terminal Stage 4 prostate cancer. His final wishes and requests on his deathbed were spoken with such love and respect for his family that remembering them now is the most sad and hardest thing anyone has ever done. He was aware of his surroundings until the end; it was painful to watch a loved one in this state of decline; I can feel his growing exhaustion; despite our best efforts, I’m not yet ready to let him go; he passed away just two days before Valentine’s Day; we had big plans for the holiday; it’s difficult to come to terms with the loss of a loved one. Saying farewell is the worst.

Dealing with grief is difficult since it brings up terrible memories and recollections over and over again. I constantly feel the need to cry. Whether it takes a year or a lifetime, I will never forget the pain of losing someone close to me. I can’t help but think about the good times we had together in the past, the travels we took as a family both domestically and abroad, his compassion and generosity, his commitment to and love for his family, and the routines of our daily lives. I can feel his gentle touch and his closeness to me, and it makes it difficult to take the next step. I will never get over missing him till the day we are together.

nearby bedside in those final days

This is how devastating the loss of a loved one can be: my entire world feels empty and sorrowful. Going through a rough patch right now, trying to get back to normal while dealing with the pain of loss and other emotions stemming from shock and disbelief. The inability to eat and sleep has wreaked havoc on my health. It’s difficult to start over after losing him; in all likelihood, it will take many years of hard work to get back on your feet.

As time goes by, hopefully the hurt will lessen. God is our source of hope and love, and in Him I put all my trust. God is with us always, even at our darkest hours. To live is to be alive… To properly grieve, I require more time alone. Please give me the strength to carry on, it’s tough to let go. In the middle of my sorrow, I need words of COMFORT and ENCOURAGEMENT to help me regain my footing.

Note:

Sharing my story to raise prostate cancer awareness.

Qingjing Farm-Green Green Grassland

By livelifeandlove on December 13, 2021

There is a common saying that goes something like this: “It looks like Switzerland; it is the green land pasture to bond with flocks of sheep; and your reward?” Personal interaction, including bonding with and feeding the gentle animals.

A tourist attraction in Taiwan, the ‘’Green, Green Grassland’’ in Qingjing farm or Cingjing farm is a hill ranch in the midst of lovely grassy hills where livestock can graze. Its elevation above sea level is 1,750 meters. The temperature swings between day and night are quite dramatic.

Aside from the picturesque scene of the pastureland, surprisingly full of life to see the spectacular beauty of the mountains and hills abounds here.

Gentle Corner

Human-Animal Bond

Sheep are one of the earliest domesticated animals and are still popular today. When I tried to touch them and they didn’t push me away, I knew I had earned their trust and could relax.

Feeding the sheep with the feed provided by the park.

Outer part, sheep hair is a crimped wool and coarse but to my surprised, the wooly undercoat was soft and fluffy, much less than I thought.

It is well worth the effort to make the trip to Taiwan’s Green Green Grassland; I had my very first opportunity to interact with docile animals there, and it was a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was a vivacious relationship between us, so I don’t feel self-conscious moving around and touching them.

The sheep ranch, Qingjing farm, or Cingjing farm is an absolute must for any visitor to Taiwan, whether they choose to drive or hike there. The following are included in the price of a ticket to enter the green, green grassland: Grassy meadows, a park, and a pastoral region all make up the greenery that is Guanshan.

Sunbird/Hummingbird in the Philippines

By livelifeandlove on October 23, 2021

The stay at home orders due to pandemic gave me the opportunity to reconnect with nature and wildlife. I began seeing species of birds that I’ve never seen before. This month, I began to notice the presence of hummingbirds around, with rain on and off, sometimes, showers are much more scattered, I was surprised to see them eating blossoms and performed the backward upside down position and hovered overhead.

Just like other pollinators which is fairly the same way as the bees and butterflies,

Hummingbirds enjoy nectar for the same reasons. The abundance of birds and other pollinators in our backyard is a source of great joy for me.

Little hummingbirds are really adorable! Hummingbirds are unique among birds in that they are able to both fly forward and backward.

When circumstances calls for photography, I’d hate to waste the chance to obtain some decent images with a relatively unposed subject. It takes a lot of patience to wait for the ideal moment and prefocus my camera on the branch where the hummingbird is likely to land, but by watching the birds I am able to easily have a good notion of where to stand and when to wait for the birds to move position in order to get a more natural appearance.

Hummingbirds are notoriously challenging to photograph due to their quick flight and small stature. Whenever I move, this bird takes off off the branch and flies a few feet away, but it always comes back after I calm down. I think the bird realized I was just attempting to shoot it and relaxed a bit.

The birds can always count on these blooms to provide for them. I really really wish these hummingbirds would return so I could take more stunning photographs of them.

Stunning Flower Fields in Full Bloom Chiang Mai

By livelifeandlove on October 5, 2021

Muangkaen, located in Chiang Mai, is quickly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Thailand. Mungkaen Flower Fields is a flower garden that covers a vast landscape and features vibrant cosmos flowers. It is a sight to behold with its fields of pretty blooms and uniquely charming cosmos that have been fully designed for pleasure and sightseeing. Chiang Mai is a mountainous city in northern Thailand known for its cool climate. It is most famous for its beautiful ancient temples, ethnic village (traditional and aboriginal) Beautiful flower fields can be found throughout this region. It is a wonderful place to visit due to the wonderful tourist attractions and the pleasant cool weather.

After having a wonderful time in Bangkok for three days, I traveled further north to Chiang Mai with my family and spent a day touring the flower fields in Muangkaen. The holiday season is a popular time to travel, and everyone had a good time together in Thailand, which is a popular vacation destination. I had no idea that going on vacation with your family and making memories together would become such an integral part of your life. We went to three of the most beautiful flower fields, which was a little bit of an outdoor adventure that celebrated the straightforward pleasures of everyday life. There, beauty blends beyond flowers, and it brilliantly won me over.

Those who are passionate about flowers should not miss a trip to Chiang Mai without seeing the stunning Muangkaen fields graceful blooms in abundance the majority of which range from bright pink to white and fuchsia. It should come as no surprise that tourists always start their sightseeing here, just like we did.

Muangkaen Flower Fields

We arrived at one of Chiang Mai’s most stunning flower fields bright and early, but there were already quite a few tourists milling about. My feelings while photographing the pretty blooms, It was a time in my life when I wished I could freeze it and stay for a little bit longer. This is something out of the ordinary, and it’s exactly what I’ve been craving.

Miss Lu in Muangkaen garden Chiang Mai, Thailand

Full blooming cosmos, which resemble daisies but are actually more compact and heavy bloomers, prefer growing in full sun and are among the quickest-growing annuals. (Check out the gallery below for illustrations)

Beautiful flowers , birds, butterflies, and bees flitted around.

The Muangkaen Flower Fields offer a one-of-a-kind setting for the recording of memoirs (historical accounts), in addition to being an ideal setting for pre-wedding photo shoots.

All of the photographs that I took while I was here will serve as the most valuable souvenirs that I take with me. Chiang Mai is a city in Thailand that is sure to captivate your heart if you are thinking about taking a trip to that country in the near future. Muangkaen is an essential stop to make if you find yourself in the northern region of Thailand.

Fruit Photography/Fresh Strawberry Pictures

By livelifeandlove on September 22, 2021

Strawberries are at their peak right now and my present photography subject today. These fruits have a lot of vitamins and minerals as well as it’s a good source of fiber too. I want to emphasize a very simple setting to show some of my pictures taken during my ‘’Fruit Photography Hour.

My photography setup for inside is significantly more streamlined because everything I need is right next to me. When trying to get a close-up of fruit, I’ve found it challenging to capture the angles that make the fruit look the most natural, appealing, and enticing. Lightning is very important because it will reveal the texture of the fruits My aim is to make strawberries looks fresh even on pictures.

As a food blogger, you get to indulge your interests in cooking, writing, and photography. All of this has taught me a great deal as well. It’s rewarding to watch my hard work pay off in such a satisfying way.

Let’s check out some strawberry pictures

Intrinsic beauty of strawberries

My macro shots

Having a white background makes the image more vibrant and appealing, but this technique has been used before with different caught fruits. Using macro always presents a challenge for me because of the potential threat posed by tiny fruit particles.

To emphasize my point, I am adjusting the light levels so as to prevent any unwelcome shadows from forming. Macro photography requires close-up lenses and setups. Equipped with a 55 mm, 100 mm, or 200 mm macro lens, your camera will be able to perform exceptionally well at close range.

Strawberries on a white plate

The perfect white background for strawberries. My mood will rise and seems active, let me tell you how it was done, I used a white cardboard for the frame to reduce the intensity of light. The white background will make these fruits even brighter and sharp because it was done under full sun. If you know how to control the light by covering both sides using white cardboard to shelter from the wind and extra unwanted shadow reducing the intensity of the bright light or reflectors. The white background exposing the natural freshness of the fruit although, it is sharp.

Having a white background will emphasized more on the subject itself.

Strawberry on Green Background

Other fruits goes well with strawberries

It’s just as much fun to take pictures indoors, and I don’t have to worry about becoming too hot in the sun. It would appear I am trying to conceal anything; oh well, my skin is a pale brown to begin with. After a long day of labor, it’s rewarding to see the results of my efforts. Once I’m done taking pictures of these fruits, you can find them in my stomach.

well folks, it’s getting late, I need to go…

Take Care and Stay Safe

I appreciate you reading my blog posts and considering following it.

Peking Duck Wraps

By livelifeandlove on September 17, 2021

Sumptuous dishes traditionally prepared and served in a grand style, the Peking Garden, 4th level Greenbelt 5, Makati City serves the best Peking duck in the city, it was the restaurant’s specialty as the name goes well with it. Tonight, is the birthday dinner celebration of my aunt, fabulous dinner served and the most popular choice. From the 10 courses meal served, the Peking duck and the Winter Melon Soup with assorted seafood was my 2 best favorites although meal’s highlight and star on the table is the savory Peking duck.

Winter Melon Soup with assorted seafood

The best comfort soup and our favorite.

The Peking duck is in good shape, well-cooked and the aroma is awesome. It was very tasty, and the skin is crispy. It is bound to reign on the table.

How to carve a whole Peking duck

The Peking duck was neatly carved into even slices by the server. Started with the breast diagonally towards her holding the wing with the fork and cut through the outer layer of the breast into the joint.

Carving the breast in thin slices parallel with the breastbone and repeating with the other side. It looks like very easy to carve because the knife is sharp, that’s the secret of perfect carving.

The thin flesh was carefully arranged in a circular shape following the edge of the plate on a big white plate with the crispy skin at the center or it work both ways. You can see the difference from the photos up and down. The duck flesh at the center and the crispy skin on the edge of the plate or vice versa.

After the carving and preparation, the Whole plate of Peking duck transferred to our table along with the tortilla, stalks of spring onions and the sweet hoisin sauce.

See how it looks, Attractively beautiful !

How to wrap a Peking Duck Strips

Lay one fine strip of Peking duck flesh on a tortilla wrapper, followed by the stalk of spring onions, add a spoon of sweet Hoisin sauce on top and lay another strip of Peking duck.

This is how it looks before wrapping.

The filling looks like this inside.

Hold one end of tortilla and roll it halfway. Fold both borders and roll it again to enclose properly.

Almost done, I’m leaving one end open to show the filling inside and roll it once again to finish.

One bite, followed by another bite and more pls… I’ve tasted Peking Duck from different restaurants before but these, nothing can equal the flavor, I’ve never tasted like it before. So far, the best among the rest.

Ok guys! you can drop a cute note down there, simple things makes me happy…

Thanks for reading my blog!
