Freshly caught- that was what they were. Sitangkai is in the basin of the Sulu Sea teeming with marine life. Being Muslim, the people of Tawi-Tawi rely on fish for protein. Beef is practically non-existent as the islands in Sitangkai are small. Goats and chicken are also few. But when you have a bounty of the sea right at your doorstep, you would not really miss terra firma meat.

One joins the Sinulog for several reasons: obligation, piety, community volunteerism, remuneration. But when you already are in the thick of it all, you soon realize that you are also there to have fun. These guys are seriously enjoying themselves and I applaud them for it.

Today is Valentine day 2006. Instead of roses, I select the love fishes to celebrate this day with Flickr member. This fish,in Japan, is called "Koi" which means Love. It's quite difficult to take photo of fast moving fishes with sunlight in shade. Photo is taken at Chok Chai farm house, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
To take this shot, I inclined more than half body over the pond and my friend just held my hand preventing me falling down to the pond. However, I dropped skylight filter into the water, but got it back later.
Which love fish do you like ?
My first language is Cebuano and I thought my vocabulary of the language is adequate. Was I wrong. Recently, in the Cebu Pool, we discussed the meaning of mabulokon, as in the traditional greeting Mabulokong Bag-ong Tuig for the new year. I argued that the word means meaningful. Later on, I learned mabulokon really means colorful. So to you all, Mabulokong Bag-ong Tuig! (And we have 5 hours more left here in New York- tick tock...)

Ramena beach is popular to both tourists and locals. Situated in just one of the 3 gigantic bays of Diego Suarez, the immaculate white sand coast of Ramena is among the numerous pristine beaches that enveigle the senses of sunlovers. For locals however, public buses are scarce except during Sunday when day beach trips become regular for those who want to partake of a piece of paradise. We took a taxi to this beach on a Sunday and with 20 kilometers of beach to choose, empty stretches are the rule and crowds are non-existent.
For the nearly 3 hours that we were there, I chose to skip taking a dip. I practiced with my Rebel camera as the lighting was perfect and the people could not be any more generous with their smiles- or in the case of this child leaning on her napping mother, her lazy stare.

eu já estava indo embora da barra da lagoa quando me deparei com essa bandeira ao vento nesse céu inacreditável.

It was Children's Day in Brazil. I went to a slum called "Morro do Macaco" ("Monkey's Mount", behind the boy on the photo), with the Hummingbirds leaders from CARF (Children at Risk Foundation), invited by Gregory (its founder).
Inside this slum there is an large orphanage, supported by its own founder, her family and some people from the community. The Hummingbird project was opening his wings there, to share love, knowledge, education, creating new possibilities for those children.

Era o Dia das crianças no Brasil. Fui à favela do Morro do Macaco (atrás do garoto nesta foto), acompanhada dos monitores do projeto Beija-Flor, da Fundação para Crianças em Risco, à convite do Gregory (seu fundador).
Dentro da favela existe um grande orfanato, mantido pela sua fundadora, família e algumas pessoas da comunidade. O Projeto Beija Flor abriu suas asas alí, unindo forças, para compartilhar amor, conhecimento, educação, criando novas possibilidades para as crianças.
Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders
"Miami has the Dolphins,
The greatest football team!
We take the ball from goal to goal,
Like no one's ever seen!
We're in the air,
We're on the ground,
We're always in control.
So when you say Miami,
You're talking Super Bowl!
Cause we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1
Yes we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1."

Then he start to check the air...
This lonely King series remembers me:
" Hakuna matata, pole, pole. Hakuna matata"
-There is not problem, calm, calm. There is not problem-
He was really enjoying the last warm sunrays of a cold winter’s day.
Então ele começou a investigar o ar...
Esta série do Rei solitário lembra-me:
" Hakuna matata, pole, pole. Hakuna matata"
-Não há problema, tranqüilo, tranqüilo. Não há problema-
realmente, ele estava à apreciar os últimos raios de sol morninhos de um dia frio de inverno.

"Somewhere over the rainbow...way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow...skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney
tops...
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow... blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow--why then oh, why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow...
Why oh, why can't I?"
"Somewhere over the Rainbow"
Judy Garland
"And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow..."
"True colors"

The Renault 17 and closely related Renault 15 were launched in 1971 and adopted the platform and mechanical systems from the Renault 12 of a couple of years earlier. This layout mounted the four-cylinder engine longitudinally ahead of the driven front axle.
Renault 17 can be identified specifically by the adoption of four round headlamps (in place of the dual rectangular items from the Renault 15), along with a quirky reverse-rake C-Pillar design.
Being the 1970s, the two models were available in a range of vivid period colours, including the green shown.
The Renault 17 was replaced in 1979 by the Renault Fuego which also used Renault 12-based underpinnings, that had been updated for the Renault 18 models – both of which adopted a more aerodynamic form.
Eine besondere Entdeckung habe ich im letzten Oktober im Botanischen Garten Rostock machen können.
Eine „Immergrüne Magnolie“ kannte ich bislang nicht – sie stammt aus Nordamerika und es hat sich gelohnt den Fruchtzapfen zu fotografieren.
Allen Freunden einen guten Sonntag gewünscht.
As the signpost reads, this was where the A30 crossed the B3212. The B3212 still exists and has that number in the present day, the A30 was bypassed a long time ago, and this section here is now a minor road. Incredibly the garage survived well into the Streetview era, even if it had stopped selling petrol quite some time earlier. In those last days it was Swain's Garage selling second hand cars. The garage was demolished in about 2015. By 2019 new houses occupied the site.
On the menu here in I am guessing just into the 1930s, Pratts, National Benzole and BP were on the menu. It was apparently open day and night, which seems pretty amazing for the era. Far right there seems to be what would be a rare sight of an advertising board for Texaco oils. Also of note is that the original building seen here survived right up to the point of demolition without any real change.
The whimsical *"Granny Smith’s Book of Cats"* by Posy Simmonds features many quirky, distinctive cat characters.
Here's number three:
