London

It's been a year since I went to London to watch The Championships popularly known as Wimbledon. I was able to blog about it but wasn't able to write about the rest of my trip. Well, I had another one - about Bournesmouth. I stayed near Bayswater Underground and during my trip, I had been using  the Tube a lot. The Tube is London's public metro system. I found it to be very convenient as I didn't find it complicated like that of Japan's.

Thirteen

Today is the last day of the first month of 2014. Allow me to share my 13 moments from last year. It’s a bit late but I’ve been pretty loaded with workloads, I can barely check my blog and other social media accounts. But, I still shoot, mostly with my mobile phone though.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth Beach was totally foreign to me. I haven’t heard about it prior to my trip to UK until I joined my cousin and her family for a European summer getaway.  We arrived at the beach around 0900H and the beach was not yet crowded, which was good since we were able to find a nice place to spend the rest of the day, sunbathing.  It was approximately an hour's drive from Basingstoke. 

Wimbledon

Being a tennis fan, I got all excited and pumped-up when I recognized that I am just a few steps away from entering the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) grounds, venue for Wimbledon Championships, the oldest, the backbone of tennis and considered as the most prestigious Grand Slam event. You know, I always dream of watching a tennis match in a Grand Slam -- live. That dream didn’t last long as it came true last week. But getting there wasn’t that easy.  The Wimbledon queue, considered to be the fairest way of getting day tickets, was testing my patience.
