This is a bush of what we locally call “sili” or hot pepper. They are relatively small in size but they are much stronger than the bigger ones. Used in the Philippines as spice and or added in a ‘sawsawan’ or a sauce for an extra hot taste, sili is also used to make a baby who does not follow simple instructions to stop sucking its fingers when its about time by dubbing an amount to its thumb :-D. You will never hear of it again.

Leading hotels in the world
The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Built in 1903, a 105-year old heritage building containing 565 rooms including 46 suites, and is considered one of the “Leading hotels in the world”. The hotel incorporates a taste of style and collection of priceless paintings and works of art in the era it covers. This was during our first tour in Mumbai in 2006.
At the Taj Mahal Hotel
This is me in Mumbai, India with the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel on the background. This was during our second tour to the Gateway of India, with Paul the driver. It was safe and peaceful then which I am so thankful. It is just so sad that the seaborne terrorist attack not just damaged the building, but killed almost two hundred people, poor clueless and so defenseless people and tourists in a strange land. I know just how it feels, but the terror and fear on that day and the reason of the attack is beyond comprehension.
Frontier trivia of the day:
The best rooms in the superior old wing of the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel cost more than £250 per night, India’s best-known and best-loved hotel in the heart of its commercial and financial capital.
How far fans will go?
This is our main reason of going to New Orleans: to watch the Sunday football game in the Superdome between the New Orleans Saints and the Raiders. It was funny to see different displays of fans’ craziness over their teams. This one is very funny. Who says it’s only for kids?
Our last trip
At the river walk towards our way to the IMAX theater in New Orleans. Behind is the beautiful fountain, soaring up high (in what my G10 camera can vividly capture,) only to fall back down its lowest point with a heavy drop, like the dramas in life. But life is an endless frontier, sure it is beautiful and good things still happen, even much sweeter after the fall.
Powershot G10 test shot
This is one of the first shots I took with the G10 camera. This was in Riverwalk, in New Orleans. It is pretty clear I am happy with it. I am loving this camera. It exceeds my expectation.
A great capture
I really like this photo. It is a great capture. It always makes me happy whenever I see photos in which people in it are happy and having fun while posing for the picture.
