The Ruins of St. Paul Church (Macau)

A little bit further from the entrance of Senado Square, you can find signs that can bring to you to this very famous place. Interestingly while walking on the way to the ruins, vendors from stores left and right are offering everybody free sample taste of all their products. I highly suggest that you stop over and take time to taste everything that they have to offer. Not only that you've tasted the delicious foods of Macau such as the Almond cookies and the very delicious Egg Tart, which you can buy from Lord Stow's here in Manila (but of course nothing beats the original), you may have saved yourself extra cash because after tasting everything you'll be satisfyingly full.

Welcome to Macau

Macau is the very first Asian country that I went to. I've been in the US last 2003 but I haven't discovered the passion for photography at that time.
This is a picture of Senado Square in late afternoon at very hazy weather. This is the place to be if you want to shop from outlet stores and discover delicacies from Macau. It is also en route to the famous St. Paul Ruins.
At this point of our travel, my friend and I were both still carrying our bags while walking around the shallow streets of the city because the people that we were supposed to meet have moved their flight to a later time of the day that's why we have to wait for them. Well it turned out that it still took us 8 hours before we retired to our room at The Venetial Macau.

Kit Lens Power

I just recently discovered that my 18-55mm Kit lens has the ability to focus at a very close range thus having a pseudo macro capability if fully zoomed at 55mm. Well I know it's not really macro but it's the only lens that I got which can focus at the least distance from my subject. These are some of my sample shots. I really like it. At least now I know that if I need macro shots I can rely on my ever useful kit lens.

My dog's world

Meet Clark. He's my dog. This is his favorite spot in our house which is the stairs going up to the family room and the library. I would like to think for him and try to decipher why he loves staying on that spot. One reason that I can think of is that he has a great view of the whole house from there which is important to him because him primary job is to guard the house. Nice work Clark!

What's outside?

Here's another picture of my favorite niece, well she's the only one which explains why she's my favorite. She's already starting to explore things around her.
