hmm punta ka sa mga hosting sites for example sa akin ginagamit ko photobucket.com
tapos gawa ka account upload mo mga pics mo dun na parang FB ang difference lang hindi siya social media hosting site lang
after mo maupload click mo yung picture tapos sa right side may HTML
click mo lang yun may lalabas na copied
tapos ctrl+v mo lang dito sa comment section then lalabas na siya kagaya nung ginagawa ko sa itaas.

Hindi ko iispoiler yung lugar na to sa mga pupunta nang Canberra hanapin ninyo ito.
p.s.: hindi gumagana ang kahit anung GPS via phone (google maps or apple maps) midway papunta dito so magdala kayo nang map or kung may sa agila kayo try to remember your way kung saan kayo nanggaling.
Not suggesting to drive at night lol

One of the iconic symbol nang Canberra, naalala ko nung nasa Pinas pa ako nagwowork sa isang aussie firm. Nakikita ko lang to sa mga projects namin palagi tumatakbo sa isipan ko ano kayang itsura nito saka gaano kaganda to sa personal. Bakit kaya may tubig or jet sa gitna nang city na ito?
Little did I know, may future yung thoughts na yun haha till andito na ako nakita ko sa personal to. Mas maganda kesa sa pictures yung mismong lugar!

winter of 2016
may mga nagiisnowboarding dito medyo delikado magdrive papunta dito considering yung kotse namen nung time na to eh medyo bulok pa at hindi makaahon gaano may mga black ice sa kalsada na everytime nadadaanan ko feeling ko nagdidrift yung sasakyan or nawawalan nang grip (i dont think may kotseng kaya iresist to unless tangke dala mo)
pero sulit naman ang punta dito napakaganda sa lugar na ito pero again walang spoilers hahanapin nyo to lalo na sa mga papunta palang CBR hehehe
