T is for Thankful

The first thanksgiving celebration i attended in the USA was in 2010.  I was in San Jose California during that time and it's like a fiesta -- so many foods.  What i enjoyed the most was taking pictures of the people getting lined up at Best Buy and Walmart Ranch Drive McCarthy Blvd Milpitas California around midnight. Then during the sale, my friends accompanied me to Scrapbook Island and bought mostly basic grey items at 50% off.  

The enjoyable part was shopping going to a little bit of Valley Fair , Santana Row, The Great Mall, Marshalls and TJ Maxx.  Junie, the husband of my friend Yvette, was in the counter lining up for us while we get stuffs -- it was so easy breezy.  

Here in the Philippines we celebrate Thanksgiving by having  dinner with family.   There is no Black Friday Sale.  The sale for me was buying at online stores like Amazon, Joann, Bath and Body Works and other stores that interests me.

Enjoying Autumn Days

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." - Albert Camus

Every year, for the past five years i was travelling to the USA.  Sometimes Spring and most of the time every Autumn (October) ,  to attend the pest control convention. It was only this year that I was able to take spectacular fall foliage photos. I enjoyed so much the changing leaves and the crisp breeze.

I was fortunate and blessed to take these photos -- it was days before Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast.  The moment Sandy was in east coast, I was already back in the Philippines.

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, 

and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking 

the successive autumns." George Eliot

How full of light and color are their last days.”
