Father's Day

I celebrated Father's Day away from my family. I celebrated Father's Day by attending a birthday party of a mother.

Lake Chivero

More photos of Lake Chivero can be found in my Pbase Photo Gallery.

Independence Day Celebration

Celebrated Philippine Independence Day with the Filipino community in Zimbabwe (there is about a dozen of "Pinoys" here). The celebration was done a few days earlier than the actual day (June 12 was a work day). The Filipino community went for an overnight picnic in Lake Chivero (30 min drive away from the Harare City center).

Opening Shot Part 2

Shots taken on my first weekend in Harare. A colleague was kind enough to show me around some nice spots in the city. Since we made a quick stop at the office, I took a snapshot of the office from the parking lot.

Next set of photos were taken from the Chapungu Stone Sculpture Gallery. There are stone sculptures displayed in the big lawn outside and there is an indoor gallery as well.

Opening Shot

My first ever shot since I arrived in Harare, Zimbabwe. Arrived Harare (via Johannesburg) last 28 May 2007. Unfortunately, some mix-up happened so I was not picked-up from the airport. I took a cab and I was brought to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Harare. I was lucky enough to have been given a room that had a view of the hotel name. After taking about four or five frames, I realized that the shots I have just taken were my first since arriving in Zimbabwe.

Tagaytay

The last two days before I left for Harare, Zimbabwe were spent in Tagaytay City with my wife and mom. Photos taken of Sanctuario & Sonia's Garden.

Despedida

I got an offer to work in Harare, Zimbabwe with the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Before leaving the Philippines, close friends from my swimming varsity days invited me to dinner and a few rounds of drinks at The SITE.
