ABC Wed R3 : the letter "W"

W is for
Wind Turbine

This windmill farm is located at Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The farm has 20 windmills, each has about 24 stories high and produces a total of 25 Megawatts of electricity enough to power 40% of the province. It is along the coastline, thus, being there is breathtakingly amazing. Engineers decided to put up the farm there since the place is not prone to typhoons and the northwesterly winds are strong.

To get there. Take a bus or a plane in Manila to Laoag. Its better to hire a van from Laoag City to go there, this will take about 45 min to reach the farm. Public commuting is possible but you will make almost a kilometer hike from the national road to the farm.

Have a great Wednesday to all...Happy Holidays :)

ABC Wed R3 : the letter "H"

H is for
Hands of Heart

It's been 4 years after we last met.
So the first thing I have in mind when we met again is to have this picture.

Praise God I met her again.
The Gift of technology made this meeting/Reunion possible.

Come to think of it, I didn't got her contact details when we first met.
After 3 years, I seen/searched in a social networking website.

Thank Goodness she remembered me.
and the rest is what they say "history".

Truly, meeting her is sweeter the second time around

Have a Great Wednesday to all of us :D

ABC Wed R3: the letter "G"

G is for
Guitar

I learned to play the guitar when I was on my 3rd year High School. 1993 I guess. At first, i just looking at my schoolmates play then I bought a song magazine that contains a chord chart so that I can start memorizing the chords. A few months later, my parents gave me my own guitar as a birthday present. Since then, I actively learn to play some songs.

I had some hardships. The most common is the aching wrist and corned fingertips. That made me lazy to learn more tricks in playing. Laziness has it toll. As I grow older I cant make use of some basic and even simple techniques to make the sound/song more livelier. I should have been a better guitar player if I only endured such pains :(

Lesson Learned: "You can't teach old dogs new tricks...so start while it's young".

"Who draws the crowd? Who plays so loud? Baby its the guitar man.
Who's going to steal the show? You know baby its the guitar man."
