I am always fascinated by contrails and there was one this evening over Ortigas. The trail was quite long and it probably originated from Parañaque City. Anyway, I would like to share some photos of the contrail this evening.

DSLR cameras are selling like pancakes these days; however, a new type of camera is appearing silently and stealthily in the market. Behold, the compact system cameras or compact DSLRs!

Just Another Siomai Stand

There are two visible players in the dumpling (siomai) wars in Metro Manila and both serve the steamed variety. Well, leave the dumpling wars at the MRT and LRT stations. At Robinsons Pioneer, there is another brand that showcases not only the steamed kind but also emphasizes the FRIED one.

AFTERNOON RUSH: This photo was taken this afternoon at the MRT Boni Station's pedestrian overpass. Notice that the left side of the picture shows heavy traffic on the EDSA northbound lane and the right side of this very same picture shows light traffic on the EDSA southbound lane going to Makati.

PIRATED U.P. IKOT / TOKI ROUTE: This row of trees at the backside of the EDSA Shangrila (along St. Francis towards Shaw Boulevard ) resembles some streets in the University of the Philippines - Diliman Campus. Math Building, anyone?

Believe It Or Not --- This Is Shaw Boulevard

Shaw Boulevard is one of the busiest roads in Metro Manila. This is because it is a very essential route of people from all walks of life. Students, office people, street vendors, private cars, public utility vehicles, cargo trucks are just some of the components that make this road alive and kicking from sun-up to sun-down, from dusk 'til dawn, around the clock, 24/7.

Just like busy people, Shaw Boulevard also needs a holiday. Here is a proof that Shaw Boulevard also takes a rest.

HOT (police) CARS

San Juan City's Finest's black and white police cars are some of the "hottest" visions in Greenhills, Ortigas, and in EDSA these days. I hope that the squadron of these units are always maintained well in order to continuously "protect and serve" the citizens. You may see police cars like these patrolling around the Greenhills Shopping Center area. They are also stationed together with their larger buddies somewhere near Starbucks Greenhills and the Promenade.

The First WiFi Bus(es)

This was a hot news in the tech scene several months ago. The Philippines already has its first WiFi buses. Many netizens were happy of this news since they can virtually stay in the cyber world even if they are in a long-haul trip overland. There are many sub-developments that can improve the experience of being online while on the road.

I think one of those is that the bus units themselves should employ redesigned / re-engineered seats that have computer units installed. The design for bus seats with "embedded" computer units may not be around yet; however, the technology and the materials already exist. It only needs a little imagination on the process.

Techie City Bus Tickets

How I wish that all bus operators in Mega Manila upgrade their ticketing systems to something as techie as this, specially for the air-conditioned buses. Actually, there are more ordinary buses that use this techie ticketing system than their "supposed-to-be-much-cooler" cousins. How did I know this? Yes, I do ride ordinary buses sometimes specially if I am in a SUPER hurry and wants to evade the Ortigas-Ilalim traffic. The ticket in the picture was issued by an air-conditioned bus I took today.

Sisig lovers do have a new haven for their distinctive taste. A new sisig stand presents them with tempting varieties of this always-famous never-tarnishing Filipino all-time favorite. I was at Robinsons Galleria this morning and I had a chance to savor the flavor of the one of the best sisig in the world. Here are my "coverage" photos for this encounter.
