care for some peppers?
pimientos, as they are called in la boqueria, the food market in la rambla. i wish i had the time to eat in one of these stalls, but i guess these photos tell you more than i can say in words. it was just an amazing place! definitely the place to go for your gustatory needs!

manresa, catalonia
if there is one thing this small town is known for, it is this cave where st. ignatius de loyola practiced rigorous asceticism. the cave is at the end of this intricately decorated baroque-style hallway.
a different beach
a sculpture of metal palm trees line a portion of the area fronting the entrance to the convention center, barcelona. the site itself is near the beach, and it is fun to see people actually sunbathing beneath these metallic palm trees.

el torre agbar
The Torre Agbar is a 38-story tower located between Diagonal and Carrer Badajoz, near Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, which marks the gateway to the new technological district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel.
According to Jean Nouvel, the shape of the Torre Agbar was inspired by Montserrat, a mountain near Barcelona, and by the shape of a geyser rising into the air.

gaudi's spiral staircase
i had to go back to sagrada familia today to get this shot that i missed the other day! i was wondering why i did not see it the first time, only to find out that i should not have taken the lift going down! i had to line up again, and pay another 14.5 euros, but is worth it! i hope the next time i see it, the church is finished...hopefully by 2017!

Sagrada Familia de Gaudi
Probably the highlight of a trip to Barcelona is this majestic masterpiece of Antonio Gaudi, started in 1882 and is expected to finish by 2017! I remember visiting this place ages ago when i was a teenager. and I have forgotten how formidable the structure is! What a genius Gaudi is to think of all the fine, eccentric details.
beach of steel
at the barcelona convention center, there are these palm trees made of metal. a great sight on infrared light!

dreams

special gift
“Everyone has their own special gift. In some it is speech, in some, silence. The world has need of small perfection as well as great achievements.”
excellence is when you...
...care more than others think is wise;
...risk more than others think is safe;
...dream more than others think is practical;
...expect more than others think is possible.

10-10-10
I thought it was an auspicious date to inaugurate my new clinic at St. Luke's Medical Center at Global City, just in time for the anniversary of the hospital's ground-breaking next week.
Used my new Nikon D3s with the monster of a lens, the 14-24F2.8, I thought the black and white treatment emphasized the architectural details of this wonderful design by a good friend, Architect Dan Lichauco.
I used my photgraphs to decorate the walls. I love the gallery-like feel one gets when entering it. You'll never know, someone might buy my photos too!
