Just my luck
I'm a lucky bastard. In 2001 I was assigned this project that took me to Europe for a month and had me relocate to Sydney for about 10 months in 2002-2003. I loved Sydney. It had the bluest sky I've ever seen. I can commute to and go for long walks at Bondi beach. I lived in a posh apartment by Darling Harbour and my office had a view of Harbour bridge and the Sydney Opera House. I strolled around Hyde Park on weekends. I was partying at Oxford Street on weeknights (yes, weekdays and weekends). I was there during Gay Games 2002 and experienced my first Mardi Gras there. Ok, the only downside is there was one night I thought I could've died (see post below) and I was single for most of my stay there. But I made some great friends and acquaintances there. And the city itself became like an old friend I know I can come home to every now and then.
Here are my fave photos of St. Mary's Cathedral, Bondi beach, a couple walking by the fountain in Hyde Park, a lamppost by Town Hall, the skyline along Darling Harbour, a statue in Hyde Park and of course, the Opera House. 








After the much talked about UP Film Center screening, Filipino writer-director Jun Lana's "Roxxxanne" was a hit at Robinson's Galleria. More screenings to come!
