MANILA BAY SUNSET - 9/15/06
I'd like to think that a beautiful sunset is God's way of saying "I love you and goodnight" to all His creatures, great and small.
But these pictures are my way of saying, "Have a wonderful and magical weekend everyone -- wherever you may be!"
Both pictures were taken this evening, September 15, 2006 at Baywalk, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

A GLORIOUS NATURE SHOW
What more could anyone ask for? A sunset, rain, and whirlwind all together in one glorious viewing for everyone’s delight!
Found myself in Baywalk over in Roxas Boulevard yesterday afternoon, and although it was overcast, decided to park the car anyway and see what kind of sunset awaited everyone. And just a little before six o’clock, this was the sight that greeted us all.
Most of those in Baywalk were simply amazed at the sight. It actually brought smiles on people's faces. At first some were exclaiming, "May buntot!" But only to realize a little later on the tail they were pointing at was, in fact, a dancing dust devil or whirlwind.
Some were so excited by it that they preferred standing while enjoying the show. Surely, others immediately sent SMS text messages to their friends and loved ones about this awesome view. Moments like these make me wish for Sidney's and Jepapert's Nikon dSLR. Someday when ready, I'll definitely get one.
My sister told me that this was shown on the news last night.
It was a fantastic nature show, which I thanked God for having blessed us with that Friday night! What a fabulous way to end a week, I thought.
However, on my way home from Baywalk, the rain that we were watching from afar earlier found its way inland; a great downpour soon descended upon us; awashing the streets of Manila. Soon thereafter, most roads leading home were flooded, leaving a clutter of vehicles carefully negotiating bottlenecked traffic. It took many hours for me to get home, but thank God my beloved jalopy handled the flood quite well and didn’t stall.
Unfortunately, the grand party being set up earlier at the Coconut Palace must have been drenched by this rain which lasted for hours. Hopefully, it was moved inside the palace so a good time was still had by all.
