Pictures!


This is me speaking at the youth service of the Every Nation church in Mandeville, Louisiana. Notice how quickly my head jerks back. This is essential when preaching. The jerk drives a point home, lightens the mood, or builds on the tempo, depending on the direction.....Just kidding. I have no idea what I'm doing, or why I'm jerking my head back, while my body stays still. hehehe...weird.


This is the Chicago skyline. The tallest building is, I assume, the Sears Tower, which was at one point the tallest building in the world. The body of water in the foreground is Lake Michigan, which is what they swim in in the absence of a real beach, which we all know is only found in the tropics. The smoke comes from the airplanes, as this picture was taken at an air show.


I was washing the dishes one night, and the water hit the bowl on the spoon. Immediately, this curved sheet of water ensued. It was so smooth, and it looked so cool, I had to take a picture of it. hehe...


We were driving to this mall, and I was bored. So there...I have around 8 variations of this picture. hehehe


This was taken on the way back that night.


This is the St. Louis Arch. St. Louis, Missouri was once called the Gateway to the West, being the last big city before the wilderness that was the western United States.


This mother and daughter from the church in St. Louis took my dad and me up the arch. Look at the trees!!! All the greenery!!! This is in the middle of the city...It's not some exclusive village, it's not a country club, it's just something that any person in the city can enjoy. One day, I want the Filipino people to be able to enjoy simple, but meaningful benefits such as these.


This is the view from the top of the arch. The river is the Mississippi, and beyond it is the state of Illinois.


This is the view from the other side. It's a beautiful view of downtown St. Louis.


This is a trash can in St. Louis. Taking pictures of garbage cans was a habit my brothers and I started a few years ago. Our hosts couldn't understand why I did it. women...


Fudge!! Look at it! So creamy...This was taken at a store display in a mall in St. Louis. Unfortunately, I was too full to have any. So I'll have some when I go back.


And they have so many variations too!! If you look closely, you can see a ghost of fudges past at the upper left. Just kidding, that's Stephanie, the daughter in the park picture.


I wanna try them all!!!!
