Pillar (St. Peter’s Basilica)

A quick shot I took of one of the pillars in St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. It was the dove that caught my attention. I found it beautifully done. To be honest the number of Saints and images in the church’s interior that I saw that day was too much that after shooting 1 or 2 I lost  interest to shoot the rest. That was probably the reason why I even forgot to shoot Michael Angelo’s Pieta. I don’t know why, but that always happen when I’m shooting church interior. Probably because I’m not a fan of statues.

So it was ‘refreshing’ to see this dove. Impressive pillar, isn’t it?

Hello angels!

I don’t mind seeing old tv reruns. Especially if they are 80’s series. Like Charlie’s Angels! Sure, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore have done a good job as the new angles but nothing can beat the original angels, don’t you? I remember coming straight from school and (after I graduated) work just to watch it together with my siblings. When it’s on, there’s no fighting over which program we’re going to watch..total harmony in our usually chaotic evenings in a household with 4 children + 1 television.

Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, for me was the best batch of angels. When Cheryl Ladd took over Farrah’s role, it was a bit of disappointment sure..but not enough to make me stop watching. Cherly grew on me he he.

Why am I telling you this? Because while writing this, my eyes are also on the television showing Charlie’s Angels 3. The fight scenes are great…but so un-natural. :( Makes me realize how much I miss the 80’s. The simplicity. Great era!

Before I close, (and I know off topic) I just want to leave you this link if you’re in search for

No more snow, please.

My weekend is almost over, few more hours and it’s Monday again. It’ll be the first day of February as well! Unbelievable! Where did January go? Days are really passing by in a blink of an eye, at least that’s how I feel. Routines aren’t changing much as well. Work, school, housechores…no, not complaining here because I have it easy.
Well anyway, back to my weekend ending soon…my only regret is that we’re not able to visit the next city where we usually go every Saturday. Just when I thought winter is ending, it starts to snow again matched with low temperature that cuts to the bone. Brrr!! Imagine how that must be for the homeless? Aren’t you and I lucky? If I get sick (knocks on wood*) I’m fortunate enough to be insured.
Ah, I just hope next weekend we’ll have a normal weather. I don’t mind it being cold, as long as it doesn’t cut to my bone and please no more snowing :(

I wish you all (my 2 readers tee hee* :D ) a fine week ahead. Be safe, okay? Oh and by the way, since I mentioned about insurance , if you do not have any then I suggest you check out this link free insurance quotes. Be smart and get yourself insured!
