iPhone Photos vs Sony A55

I'm in the process of deleting old snaps in my iphone and I came across the picture of Kilruderry House and Gardens at south of Bray, Wicklow. Then I remember that me and my husband had plenty of good shots using his Sony Alpha 55. It's no brainer, photos using SLR are better over pictures using iphone 4 (yeah yeah I got the an old unit, but not for long {wink} hi sweetie).

Just to give you a short tour of the place, kindly click the links below.

20 Cents a Song

Eddie Rocket's Jukebox

Personally, the idea of dining out is fun for so many good reasons. First of all, it's my excuse not to cook at home once or twice a month. (I think that is just fair, don't you think?) Secondly, tasting other cuisine is one of my goals so I can recreate a new recipe out of it (ahem, another excuse). Third, it's my chance to experience other perks just like this Eddie Rocket's Jukebox. It is an absolute musicians firend. Imagine you can travel back in time by just 20 cents per song. You'll just have to drop a coin, press the code, song goes to the queue  and enjoy the beat. Though sometimes, you have to wait for other songs to finish before your choice to be played. 

If you are going to ask me about the food, check out my review at Luto ni Nanay.

Glendalough National Park , Wicklow Ireland

I'm so grateful for another chance to visit this lovely and calming Wicklow Mountains and Lake. We usually follow a trail to reach the peak but we just drove up the hill during our last trip since we had our 23-month old toddler with us. Nonetheless, the experience was still great. Great weather and amazing scenery.

Cliffs of Aran Islands

God is so amazing.I live to give praises to   Him everyday as I witness how marvelous all His creations great and small. We may be too busy with our daily routines but our God is never busy to tell us every second that He loves us so much. Let us not forget to pause and listen to God's calming voice through the sound of roaring sea, singing birds or dancing leaves. 

Partial view of the cliffs at Aran Islands. Breathtaking view. One of the best places I ever visited in Ireland.

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
