20070127 Old Trafford - Home of Manchester United

Old Trafford, the Theatre of Dreams, the home of the Manchester United Red Devils, was spectacular. We went to the Megastore at Old Trafford and I bought a Ronaldo home jersey.

The place was jampacked and tickets were sold out.

ManUtd won against Pompey, 2-1. Wayne Rooney was subbed in with 30 minutes remaining in the match and scored twice for the Red Devils. The second goal was a beautiful chip shot that made manager, Sir Alex Ferguson compare Rooney to the great Eric Cantona, after the match. The atmosphere was electric.

To watch Machester United at Old Trafford is a dream come true.

Here's a video of Rooney's second goal.

20070120 Portobello Market, Notting Hill

During my visit to London, I learned that Portobello Market is definitely one of the most colorful places that I've been. This was also the place where the movie, Notting Hill was filmed.

20070120 Buckingham Palace

Another weekend, another trip with my friends in London. This time we went to Buckingham Palace and Queen Victoria Memorial to take some snaps.

There were lots of tourists. There's even one who posed for a photo (that's me by the way, LOL).

20070114 Hampton Court Palace

As part of our weekend trips, my friends and I went to Hampton Court Palace. The weather was sunny but it was still a cold day for us. Hampton Court was King Henry VIII's favorite palace. The palace itself was huge, too bad we weren't allowed to take photos inside. Yet there were still a lot of sights worth photographing, the gardens especially.

My colleagues and I went to Kew Gardens. Unfortunately it was still winter so there were very few flowers in bloom.

200701 London Night

January 2007 was the time I first used my new Canon EOS 400D. Since I was in London, my friends and I went out at night to take photos along the River Thames.
