Filipino Sunday


This is a typical Sunday scene at Central in Hong Kong. Tens of thousands of Filipino maids gather at the park, by the streets, along the overhead bridges to take their day off. The thundering noise level echo throughout the corridors of posh banking buildings. I respect these women for the sacrifices they made leaving behind their own children back home to earn a living as maids so that many other Hong Kong moms could go to work to support the ever rising cost of living in this big city

Now this shop is for the brave ones who have the guts to slurp the slippery soup. I had goose bumps taking this picture.

Happy Birthday !

My 41st birthday was a blast. I had a blissful breakfast and a book over a cup of coffee - a nice departure from weeks of travelling in Hong Kong. I received many heartwarming sms. One however stood out. I am grateful and appreciative but I certainly has a bit of difficulty identifying myself to a swimming creature.

"If you sometimes feel a little uselss, depressed or worthless, always remember that YOU were once the fastest and most victorious little sperm out of millions! Today is the celebration of that victory mant tears ago... Happy Birthday!"

Needless to say, the sender is a guy.
