Pepper Lunch

This is one of our favorite restaurants here in Australia. They serve beef, chicken, salmon cooked in a hot plate. All you need to do is add some sweet and garlic soy sauce and you are ready to go.

But, I've noticed this as I was paying for our orders in the counter.


Isn't this funny?

This aside, I still go back to this restaurant to enjoy now my favorite "Beef Curry". You should all try this out, I believe Pepper Lunch is also available in the Philippines in Rockwell. Here in Australia it is near Town Hall station just walk to George Street just close to Paul's Warehouse.

Manly Beach - Sydney Australia

It was the 1st of January 2010. When we were able to visit Manly Beach in Sydney. This is the first beach we visited as a family. Its quite small and full of waves. Yep, unlike back in the Philippines where in most beaches don't have much waves, in Sydney beaches have huge waves that's why surfing is quite popular here.

Before going to the beach we had our first breakfast of the year, I got my self the "BIG ONE".


Here are some of my take on the beach.

Sydney's - Luna Park

One common attraction in Sydney is Luna Park. Luna Park is a carnival with many rides and it is worth visiting when you are in Sydney.


The entrance is free, so all you have to worry about is the rides passes. Here is the list of the prices when I last visited.


and here are some more pics I took.

Sydney Olympic Park

As you might already know Australia has a lot of parks for the family. This is one great thing about this country, you'll see parks left and right where you could share the whole morning and afternoon with family and friends. Last Sunday, Nat, Cherrie, Maku and I got to visit Wentworth Common. A park near the Sydney Olympic Park, yup this was where the Olympics was held way back .... man don't expect me to know hehehe.

Anyway, we weren't able to tour the Olympic park itself. But, here is a view of the Wentworth Community center.

Kids, get to play on the sand.


Some swing action.

And a wide open space of green.

Here are some photos I took.




As usual I found the kid in me in this park, I really enjoyed playing here and got real tired so I decided to rest ahh. Thanks to Nat for taking this photo.

Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge

What's new? It has been a while again since I last updated my blog. After almost 3 months here I finally landed my first job and boy was the job market really tough. With a lot of prayers from my family, friends and myself I finally was able to find a job that fits my experience.

So much for my job hunting experience :). I posted today to show you some of my shots of the Opera house and Harbour bridge. If you plan of visiting Sydney these two are one of the must sees. It's easy to go to accessible by Bus, Train, Feiry and Taxis you just drop by Circular Quay and you'll be able to walk around the Opera House and see Harbour bridge from a nice angle.

You might want to visit the inside of the Opera House as I've heard it has a great view from inside as well. Never got the time to see it though. Here is my take.




A little view from the top :)

From the ground.

And on the sea.

As we were on the way home, I saw this bridal car and as usual took a picture of it so I could share it to you guys. Here is the short version.

And the long version.

Darling Harbour - Sydney

Wow finally after a week here in Sydney, I got to visit the city. Thanks to Jon and Janice for the tour. I started my journey from the Hornsby train station to Wollstonecraft Station where Jon picked me up.

After dropping by their house we went to Sydney CBD, and then walked our way around to the Market City, Darling Harbour and our last stop QVB (Queen Victoria Building). Touring the city is quite a walk; after a week stay at home I guess my feet were new again to walking long distances.

I tried walking from Net Square Taguig to our House in Pasay after office; the walk has ok but the pollution no way. That is why it’s just a one time deal.

Anyway, back to the story line. Darling harbour had lots of ships from sails, to sub and even old ships you'll see it in the slide below. They also have a lot of tourists because this is one of the tourist stops.

We ate at Market City; this is like our Tutuban Center or Greenhills. There are lots of cheap souvenir items, winter clothes, shades and so on. I got to comeback here sometime hehehe. I can't wait to bring Cookie and Harvey to this place.

Now, in QVB the architecture design is really old and very well maintained. They have Italian shops inside and if I may say the high end shops you get to see in G5.
