An active Monarch butterfly lands on a red flower with the background of the morning sun rays and the brilliant blue sky. More than 3 butterflies visited our garden this morning, I don’t expect to see them around during rainy season. Thanks for coming babe, ee you again tomorrow…
A brief moment that will capture your sight and much more the attention of the people around this area, it’s the striking splendor overlooking from afar, the sunset over South China sea is mesmerizing and clearly visible at this moment.
With so much energy to carry the heavy load of the Lion and Dragon’s head, it was the perfect space to showcase their scream fest performance. The Lion and Dragon dance performed at Pioneer Center during Chinese New Year, February 19,2015. It’s the ”Year of the Wooden Sheep”

I’ve started covering the Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sounds Float Parade way back year 2011 and up the the present, it was already my fourth year of following the parade. I’ve already published 3 others in the past.As usual, it is done at the same time(6:00 pm) and venue(in front of Sm HyperMart ) It was a project of the Rotary Club of Mutya ng Pasig and Ortigas group of Companies with the help of Participating schools, Barangay and City officials.
In the past,they presented different electrical float design, a movie-themed float well-structured and gracefully made with soundtrack. For this year 2014, Floats featured popular Disney characters from animated movies with live performers wearing elegant costumes. Just like the fairy tale stories, you’ll see the interpretation of your favorite Disney characters.Hundreds of watchers and passers turned to see the float.Full of people screaming with wide eyes admiration, simply, the shouts of joy.
Paskotitap Parade for this year is quiet different from the rest.There’s a quick change of set up to present the multi-colored shades particularly, the natural and exact color of the float.I can only get that view during daytime. How about that? I guess, better photos would be taken at right time,I was able to take close-up photos of all floats during the day followed by more shots at night. Indeed, photography would be easier with the absence of the crowd.
From the dark and bright sky, you’ll see the difference between ”Day photography” and the”Night photography”. So here, you’ll the difference between the two if you view photos taken by day and night.You can see the natural color of the float during the day but it’s more wonderful to see the glitzy glow of floats at night. Here ‘s to present not only day photos but, night photos as well.
Note: My night photography. Let’s get started
You’ve probably heard Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sounds Float Parade before, it’s an annual parade done at the same time and venue ( in front of SM Hypermarket) It was a project of the Rotary Club of Mutya ng Pasig and Ortigas group of Companies with the help of Participating schools, Barangay and City officials.
Following the parade for 4 years since year 2011 up to the present,I’ve already published 3 others in the past.Adding to the excitement, I’ve collected beautiful photos as well, it’s a good subject of ”Night Photography”
Let me make a brief review of the past year’s ”Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sounds Float Parade”

Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sounds Float-Year 2014
In the past years, photography is always done at night because it’s an electronic float but year 2014, I was able to do both day and night photography at the same day.I went to SM Hyper Mart midday and luckily all floats was already there for light fixings and finishing touches. You can see here from the photos itself the difference between night and day shots. For me, daytime, you can clearly see the original colors of the float, it was attractive but bit dry. Of course, night photography looks more attractive because of it’s vibrant colors and flashing lights.

Ice Castle
Along the way going to Tagaytay City, we made a quick stop because I saw this towering ice castle across the street. Over-looking from afar, it was beautiful and Translucent.The Ice Castle is a magical winter tale of Valenza by Crown Asia. The Valenza -Crown Asia in Sta. Rosa Laguna is a popular subdivisions with Italian architectural features.
Approaching from behind is the vivid reflections of the sunset that made the landscape more radiant and flashy.This is a serious Holiday landscape dressing up for the season followed with street signs. You can see the presence of frozen lake, polar bears, Santa with Carousel, winter deer, Christmas trees and Ice castle.The outfit of the landscape is a winter zone setting that happens to be in the flat farmlands of the city.
It would be more nicer if the aerial view was taken. From a far distance, it was almost perfect! I can just describe it as a traffic stopping landscape because of number of people taking pictures in front of the castle.
The winter deer. it looks like sled deer.

Furthermore, the charms despite the southern woodland address spreads the cheer for the for the holiday spirit.
Last Sunday, while I was walking around the corridors of Tiendesitas Shopping Mall, this cute dog, has stolen my attention. I was very happy to have another opportunity to photograph it, it was done with consent from the owner anyway. Just like humans, the charming dog looks like a star! It looks fashionable with the vibrant and sparkling colors of her silky cotton-like coat, wearing shoes with matching blue glasses. The silky hair looks like it was also straightened. May I know who is the hairstylist? The color combination and pattern looks perfect too. I guess it’s tough to color this dog hair but the dog looks smart and well-behaved.
Wow! This is the best way to bring out the best looks in dogs. Definitely, She got the best impression and great mood for the day. I heard what people says around that it was very funny to see dog walking wearing shoes. I’m curious, I haven’t seen one yet perhaps, a bit adjustment to trim their toenails first. I missed to ask the dog’s name from the owner, hoping to catch them around at the same place soon.
Dogs are considered sociable animals displaying affection, they are happy at all times. Having one is a commitment because they demand love and care completely from the owner. No doubt, most puppies are happy but some, they look like unhappy in pictures. Other puppies are playful with natural and sincere smile but few are also confused, annoyed and angry.
Different Facial Expression and Mood of Puppies
Just like humans, puppies have different facial expressions and moods too. Here are the natural image and true characteristics of puppies. I think, it shows breed of intelligence. I will share some of our puppy moods taken during quality time bonding with them. This is how they expressed their outer moods and inner feelings.

You can see clearly all the puppy dog faces likely, you probably have your own opinion. These dogs serves as our guardians, therapy dogs that they can also follow simple command. It’s worth it, best interest to be with us.

How do you celebrate Halloween?
We celebrated it with horrible costumes, night and day Halloween parties, Jack-O-Lanterns, even our own foods like fruits, candies, biscuits was formed into spooky stuffs, strange forms and figures. We also decorated our garden with some horrible props.Of course, the treat or trick practice, it was all a kid’s fun.
However, if you want to make your Halloween an extra creepy and memorable experience to count on, Don’t sleep and spend all night in cemeteries and haunted house waiting for something strange to come out. Call yourself a ghost hunter,anyway, it’s nice to be good at something. Just wondering, how in this world you would get rid of ghosts and bad spirits?
My Halloween Presentation for this year,2014
You can’t find what’s in unless you go out and see what’s new. In my case, I don’t have to look very far to find some spooky and horrible stuffs to show off, they are just around the corner and everywhere. Lately, I took some bone-chilling photographs during my hunt for strange things and figures for my ”Halloween Special” Some photographs is something closer to shocked! I took these photos while walking around Eastwood city.
The Gingerbread House
A kiddie ride park was set up on the other corner and Halloween superheroes show.
The ”Red Crab”, Alimango house
Along the corridors is a ”Red Crab” an Alimango house, serves the best crab in the city, they got the best theme and Halloween costume.

In front of a restaurant where customers would enter and be greeted by a zombie, a dead man walking covered with blood and taken his hands off while the other hand is holding it.
Trick or treat?
If you choose treat then these photos for sharing but, if you pick trick then these guys are your besties.
Bloodied zombie with a frontal stab, it looks like a morgue. A living dead sleeping? I think, zombies never sleep.
