It has been a really long time since I updated my blog. Now, I am going to post some photos from Mag-aso Falls, one of the many attractions
in Bohol, found in the Visayas region of the Philippines. I'm so glad
I received some nice picture from a good friend. I have never been there but seeing all these fabulous views makes me want to share them

Mag-aso Falls
Monday, August 8th, 2011Panglao Island Nature Resort.
Monday, August 9th, 2010A very good friend of mine really likes travelling; visiting popular tourist destination like the Panglao Island Nature Resort of Bohol. Here are some of her pictures of the varying sceneries; a beautifully landscaped park and garden close to the sea.
I'm so grateful to have all these photos that I can publish on my blog. I
all the views especially the swimming pool as it can be very warm in the summer

Sagbayan Peak
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010This beautiful view of Sagbayan Peak is one of the attractions of Sagbayan town in the Visayas region of Bohol. One of the amazing features you can see on these photos is the background of the Chocolate Hills, which was taken from Sagbayan; a neighbouring town of Carmen; the main location of the Chocolate Hills.
Within the park there's an outdoor area provided; a children's playrgound; it's not visible though
It's overlooking the natural and attractive scenery. It's astonishing.
I'm so glad
that my good friend Arne has given me the permission to publish this photographs on my blog. I'm so pleased![]()
JavaOne 2010 will be 19-23 September in SF
Thursday, January 28th, 2010Oracle's purchase of Sun appears to have been finalised. If you visit sun.com you are redirected to oracle.com. Their developer site answers several questions including the fate of JavaOne 2010, which is the main Java conference that has been held each year in the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Here is a quote from Oracle:
Will there be a JavaOne in 2010?
Yes, there will be a JavaOne Conference in 2010. JavaOne will be co-located with Oracle Develop during Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco from September 19-23, 2010. You may experience and register for JavaOne as a standalone conference just as before, or you can attend Oracle Develop 2010 and/or Oracle OpenWorld as well; it's your choice. Furthermore, unlike in recent years, JavaOne will focus solely on Java Technology and its associated ecosystem. You're welcome to attend Oracle Develop and Oracle OpenWorld to gain insight into specific products. As usual, all Java users and partners are invited to submit papers and to attend JavaOne.
And here's more good news: We're taking JavaOne and Oracle Develop on the road, arriving in Brazil, Russia, India, and China in 2010/2011. For the first time, the rapidly growing developer communities in those countries will have access to the JavaOne experience. Although the currently scheduled Sun Tech Days in India and Russia will continue to occur as planned, JavaOne and Oracle Develop will occur in place of Sun Tech Days thereafter.
I am very glad that JavaOne is still going ahead and it will be very interesting to compare it with previous conferences. I still need to read about the impact on other parts of Sun's business including the open source database MySQL.
Steaming Lake Agko
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009The resort that the locals and tourists are talking about is the steaming Lake Agko on Mt. Apo near Kidapawan. I haven't been there but I was so glad that I managed to get loads of photographs from a very good friend of mine, Ana Arne Galbo.
It's always nice to know that from Kidapawan you could actually travel from there easily to see this popular local destination. The views and various features of these attractions are beautifully landscaped; which means that it's likely that we will have more visitors coming in now and in the future to come. I think that this place is gorgeous
Bremen Freimarkt
Thursday, November 19th, 2009These colourful pictures are of Bremen Freimarkt. It is an enormous funfair that includes live music, drinking, eating and street entertainment. Also parts of the attractions are rides like huge roller coasters, wild water rides and the largest mobile ferris wheel in Germany. The annual Bremen Freimarkt started almost 1000 years ago in 1035 and has about 4 million visitors.
Wandering around these attractions and watching what's going on was so much fun

Birgittenkloster In Schnoor
Saturday, October 24th, 2009This is the Birgittenkloster, built in 2002, which makes it the first convent to be built in Bremen since the Middle Ages. Within the grounds there is a separate chapel which can seat about thirty people. It is open to the public from 9:00 to 6:00 pm everyday. From the outside, the building is a good mix of traditional and modern architecture. The strong colour makes it really stand out if you are walking along the street nearby. The rooms inside the Birgittenkloster, with their lovely high ceilings, are nicely painted.
The Birgittenkloster is in a part of Bremen called the Schnoor, an absolutely beautiful place where people wander around the small cobbled stone streets. If you fancy going to the souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants, they're all here for locals and tourists as they always buy little something to take back home.
Looking at the the structure of the buildings, the city streets and the way they're all built is just fantastic
. It's very interesting place to be. Being here was so much fun; it's cold though
. We
coming to Bremen to see our friends.
GamesCom in Cologne
Monday, August 31st, 2009I was lucky enough to be able to get to GamesCom in Cologne to see possibly the largest electronic games exhibitions in Europe. I was astounded by the size of it and the amount of money that the game studios spend on their enormous sets. All of the Cologne Exhibition Centre was full. All the large companies were there like Nintendo, Sony, EA, Blizzard, Ubisoft, Activision, Sega, Microsoft, and many others.
Houseboat
Friday, July 31st, 2009This is a houseboat used as a dwelling that is moored along the canal. I’m not entirely sure if I would feel comfortable living here. Some people think it’s cool.
