Quiescent Memories "KaQuems" - The Reluctant OFW
Гонконг
Добавлен 22 апр 2023
These "Foot It" videos will be my way of capturing memories everywhere I go and “foot it” or explore, the "kaquems" videos are my way of sharing life with my fellow Overseas Filipino Workers or "OFWs".
A person very dear to me once said, "its like being there" viewing a video documentary of a place that only airplanes could reach. This was before air travel costs were a privileges' that majority could not afford. This was when photos and rarely available videos were in black and white and only the movie or film industries can make them. Almost half a century later, technology have changed all these but still many are wanting.
The motivation to embark on this undoubtedly difficult endeavor is in keeping with that inspiration because we shared the same mentality, interests, curiosities and passion.
This will be a repository of videos about “footing it” in Hong Kong and very varied aspect of "through the eyes and lens of the" Reluctant OFW, in this small corner of the world...

Manila Ocean Park - I finally visited!
Its not some "bad envy", its all about "wishing we had this too...". Its like how I felt when I first saw these giant observation wheels abroad and saw them in the internet as a feature in famous city destinations and we didn't have any of it. Now we do, I was so glad to see it in the SM MOA. Yes, that will do for me. I made a video of it to show my appreciation.
When I came to Hong Kong some 30 years ago, Ocean Park was a tourist famous destination already, it was the firsts on my list to go to places and here I witnessed my first "tunnel aquarium", it was really an extra-ordinary experience due mainly to it creates this illusion that I was in the water swimming with the other marine life...

I'm just sorry I learned about this somewhat late already as I pass occasionally by C5, I certainly have noticed the statue before but somehow I missed to really capture the thought in my mind, that much I can recall. The tallest "projection mapping statue" in the world! The Victor! That puts our country in the map somehow with regards to tech structures and that certainly make me proud! As soo...

It was totally unexpected, I had to run errand and went to Marikina Market to buy some essentials and an option to pass by under the bridge presented itself as I was about to go home. I noticed more people than usual and the parking lot suggested it was easy for me to park. It was a welcome opportunity for me. I noticed that the river was naturally at a higher level and it was not surprising ca...

As far as I am concerned this park is the park! When coming from our province of Ilocos Sur to migrate in Quezon City, our parents, spearheaded by my father made it a point to really expose us to our new place of residence, I don't just mean Quezon City, I mean at the time there was still no Metro Manila so the adjacent cities and municipalities! The usual places like, Manila Zoo, Parks & Wildl...

In my video "SM MOA Eye Bay Area Amusement Park", I highlighted in the video how I got introduced with LEDs since my technical highs chool. In this video, I highlight the effects these LED "wall washer lights" on the monument, needless to say that it makes it a memorable sight at night! Although the internet provides so much information already, it is still a worthy effort to visit places like ...

Very vivid in my memory, when I first heard about this esplanade project in the entirety of Pasig River and the Pasig River Expressway, something in me got excited. Imagination flood-gates opened, I saw myself walking and driving along these two project as I did drive in the skyways. I then wish to see the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway and when completed the Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge. Even ...

This video is related to my "Jones Bridge" and "Quezon Memorial Shrine" video with regards to lighting . I remember very well, I was taking my early technical high school when I first got introduced to electricity & electronics. Light emitting diodes or LED were so new and I was so fascinated with it, we assembled project kits and pilot lamp using LED's or miniature neon light we added as power...
Binondo-Intramuros Bridge - A unique bridge design #footit #quems #binondo #pasigriveresplanade

Different people have different points of view with regards to design aesthetics. The point of views of people who have design background will probably have some compelling reasons on consistencies, blending, harmony, contrast or suitability. I look at it as good contrast and is very curious on how it transitions from predominantly Spanish Architecture in public buildings into modern. If I am t...

As a kid who frequented Luneta Park courtesy of my father when I was young and as a student in Manila I am familiar with few of the bridges that cross Pasig River. Manuel L. Quezon Memorial Bridge (Quezon Bridge) I used a lot going to and from school, I remember that very much because it is similar to the Banaoang Bridge in our province. Another bridge is the William A. Jones Memorial Bridge (J...

Nice dancing fountain!!!
oh, thank you very much...
saan nya nabili sir yang molde at magkano
try to research online muna kung ano ang available malapit sa lugar kung saan kayo, itong nabili ko ay sa Pampanga, along the way lang from Manila going to Illocos Sur. after that puede mo na itanonng mga iba pang detalye. ang importante yung availability and cost of the chb maker machine within your vicinity and ofcourse within your budget. maraming available from mano-mano to de-motoor.
Very good video explaining all the details needed to make your own blocks. How long does it take the blocks to cure to be used on a house? Also many of the blocks that I have seen are too soft. They break apart too easily. If you drop them it will break apart in many pieces. That is why I am learning how to do this myself and make a better block.
Thank you for your generous appraisal, truly appreciated! Please pardon the very delayed response, been really busy with pressing matter and only now I can reply. That was true several years back when CHBs were really so breakable, nowadays it has improved a lot. Good decision on creating your own blocks especially if you have so much requirement, making them to your specs will prove to be smarter once you have determined how to tweak the strength of the CHBs to your intended utility. The curing ensures that the potential strength of the concrete mixture is attained, that is how I see it. Take this as an example, we just talk about concrete mixture not CHBs for the purpose of discussion, the usage of the mixture dictates the strength, as I have mentioned in the video, if the intention is for load bearing or non-load bearing, for flooring, for steps or for kitchen counter, these requires more concrete strength than let's say for a half-height concrete and glass wall partition. In other words, the mixture of 1:1:1 with full curing will be more durable than a 1:2:6 with full curing, to put it roughly.
Very nice!
yes it is, sir, i like the fact that, "yes, we have that too.."...
sir.. nagbabaka sakali lang pede ko ba masilip ang feasibility study mo.. planning to start this type of business. more power po sa paghahollow blocks business.
i am in Manila right now and my e-files are not with me, maybe i can help in other ways. do you need it for comparison lang or as a guide? as far as i am concerned, as i mentioned in the video, i think it is best to start from scratch, maraming variables and i think it will be better if the scope of your study is within the confines of your particular situation.
Thank you for sharing. This is probably one of the most beautiful bridge in Manila. On rainless nights, crowds packed the bridge to enjoy the scenery and sea breeze. And probably because it attracted too much attention, authorities turn off the lights and police often have to shoo away the crowds. However it has a haunting similarity to the Mabalacat-Bamban bridge. And hopefully it will not be demolish due to the current heat on Mayor Alice Guo, the conflict in the West Philippine sea, and the rising Sinophobia.
i hold the three bridges in the area in the same regard, Jones Bridge, this Binondo-Intramuros Bridge and Quezon Bridge. i guess i have this opinion because although beauty is subjective which may mean design style appreciation of one or the other. i am lucky (or not) enough to have some design background and it has taught or confused me to appreciate different design styles.
I miss that place
yeah, pagpunta namin sa Luneta, dadaan yung JD bus or jeep sa ilalim ng mga tulay at makita ko na yung water level ng Pasig River eh mas mataas keysa kalsada... it was first times explained to me by me Dad all about water level, datum line, constant flooding and dikes. of course, bridges...
this is the reasons why Mayor Isko Moreno to come back as Mayor of Manila because Mayor Isko is capable of transforming Manila into a Singapore-like modern world class city in Asia....
i am always a fan of adapting best practices in whatever field to improve a situation.
Mayor Isko Moreno should be credited for starting the cleaning n beautification of Manila's tourist area..n other areas like the neglected Parks n playgrounds, updating n beautification of Manila Zoo, clean up of Quiapo n Divisoria, n many more urban development projects including public housing n public schools...😊😊
i appreciate projects like these from the government funded by members of the public in whatever means, ie. donations or taxes. i agree that a person should be given credit if it is due that person.
Thanks to the beautification effort of Mayor Isko Moreno of the Jones Bridge that probably inspired the construction of the Pasig River Esplanade.. .
i appreciate efforts of elected officials and their team and support groups to improve their jurisdiction.
Pasig river esplanade yan hin jones bridge ang jones bridge yan ang tulay
i appreciate your pointing out this detail. yes, i agree, the totality of the project is the Pasig River Esplanade, but for now, i hope you don't mind i will call it as such first. at the time of this video, the next nearest bridge, the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge is not yet connected to the initial phase of the esplanade, i understand it is connected now, so i have to update. my next video is the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge is also part of the Pasig River Esplanade, i hope you can watch it also...
Bakit kapag meron bukas o bagong pasyalan laging meron street food. Sila ang nakakasira ng view dyan sa daan. Di man pati sila disiplinado pagdating sa kapaligiran. Kng saan na lang tinatapon ang mga basura. Sana gumawa aksyon ang lokal na gob. Na panatilihin at maayos ang tanawin dyan sa river pati sa sise walk para maganda tingnan
there's so many factors at play in that situation, another phase which is recently inaugurated, (sayang at hindi ako nakapunta) i understand there are kiosks for food and beverages...
masakit sa ulo ang gaslaw ng camera mo, sudden movements nakakahilo. viewing panoramic dapat slow ang move ng camera wag yung parang nagwawala.
i will try and improve the stability of the camera, thank you for the tip, i appreciate it...
Ang pulitika talaga anoh? After Isko Wala tayong Nakita/narimig NOW back to commercials - strat Ng namumuno.
i appreciate these kind of projects as it seems to have this overall positive effect...
Bawal ang mag kalat, matulog sa gabi or mga taong grasa at wag sulatan ang anu mang lugar dyan ...
that is normally the standard practice, certain rules apply...

yes, i agree, the totality of the project is the Pasig River Esplanade, but for now, at the time of this video, i hope you don't mind i will call it as such first. my next video is the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge is also part of the Pasig River Esplanade which not yet connected when this video was taken. i understand it is connected now... thank you for pointing this detail, i appreciate it...
Wow amazing shots on your video . Watching in AMSTERDAM ❤
thank you very much, i appreciate the comment, i am totally glad and excited about this Pasig River Esplanade project that started in the Jones Bridge area. these promenades and esplanades are pretty much present in many places such as Amsterdam and Hong Kong, so imagine how glad i was to hear about this project... i hope you watch also my next video, the Binondo-Intramuros Bridge which at the time of this video was not yet connected but it is now, complete with food and drink kiosks...
I've been there but the amusement park was not present that time. Nice tour of the place.🥰
thank you and yes sir, before this visit, i was unaware that there is this amusement park. it was just a lucky coincidence...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
a bunch of hearts, deeply appreciated, thank you very much...
Nice video!
thank you very much...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
bunch of hearts, thank you.
❤❤nice road
I like this very road
i share the sentiment very much...
may naoorder kami nun manipis malaki butas. saka pag binuhat ng isang kamay nadudurog. dapat dahan dahan using 2 hands. yung ibang workers kasi pag hinakot dalawa tig isang kamay. your blocks looks strong, makapal dahil maliit butas and siksik.
yup, medyo noon maraming ganon pero ngayon medyo ok na.
yun ang sabi nun nakabili test hollow block na gawa namin, mabigat, solid at matibay daw...
Magkano sir bawat size ng hollowblock nyo
maganda mag 3 days Ilocos Sur trip, church visitation, atv rides, wind mill farms, ito nga, Vigan....
isa sa bucklist ko ang Vigan
tagal na namin di nakabalik sa Baguio!
pards, ang dami na bago, even 6 years ago last kami nakapunta...
after some time, naasikaso ko na rin i-post...
nice shots
hindi dahil galing kami dito, vigan is one of the places to visit talaga...
hahaha, ang dami pang kailang aralin...
galing ah! 'follow me' mode 😁
ang daming features isa isahin ko aralin...
as we get further, the IFC building does not get any smaller...
now, i appreciate that comment very much...
one of the things I ❤ on your postings is how you present good Architecture views
nice shot you got there! 😮
Before I only saw it in eye level. Now I saw it in bird's eye view 👍
The wonders of 360 cameras, it creates an illusion of a "different vantage point"...
camera and editing tricks...
nice! looks like drone video 😁🙂
yeah, at first i was actually amazed...
how’s life?. useful drone!🤘
life's fine, thank you. yup, useful for the fun I get of it!
Alles am Zittern.😂 Vielleicht wäre es besser mit Nd Filter.
Thank you for the comment, yes, I am a newbie in drone flying, I've read many of the additional accessories that can improve my experience and "video production". I'm planning to purchase the filters together with the wide angle lens after I am more confident to fly the drone. I searched and found that I can actually adjust the joystick sensitivity, that I think is what I need to improve on the "shaking" that you rightfully commented on. There's just so much to learn and indeed, comments will help. By the way, I used Google Lens to help me understand, Thanks again...
