I wonder if by now you may think that I am converting my personal website into some kind travel blog site. Well, I am not. Just a phase I am in. I am still a raro (weirdo in English) and those out-of-the-world posts will return, I promise. In fact, this weekend, I have been very much distracted by my songwriting activity. I planned to squeeze in some time to do some home recording before Cynthia & Co. return from Hong Kong. That didn’t happen. I need a longer weekend. A much longer weekend.
As you may have read my travel journal, insofar I had been taking a back seat on this holiday to Spain in June. Men are hopelessly lazy in nature. That’s why we need our significant halves. On day 5, my action oriented nature kicked in. And so I took a more proactive approach to decide where we should go. Taking the driver seat so as to speak – both figuratively and literally.
Speaking of driver seat, when I was in Valencia, I thought driving inside the city was crazy. And in our next destination, it went even crazier. But I am ahead of time here. As usual, below are the options you may wish to read more about our road trip.
- A photo collection for day 5 of our trip to Spain (63 photos with captions)
- A journal written in details on what we did and more (approx 2,000 words)
- A highlight of the photos below (10 photos – and for Facebook readers, please view the original post)

Oh my god, seeing these pictues just bring back my urge to invest in a Nikon DSLR all over again!!
Heyzanie – Thanks. I love my Nikon DSLR. Mainly for the color reproduction and the functions provided. You have used Nikon cameras before? What are you using right now?
I am still a beginner though. Still messing around … lol.
I use my phone camera ever since my point and shoot Panasonic was stolen (boohoo~~). I’ve been dreamy of getting my hands on a nikon 80 since last year. Fyi, i am a Level 0 photographer ;P
Your fotos never fail to kick up my desire to splurge!!
Heyzanie – Ah, I see! Well, if you wanna have someone to bounce ideas on what camera to get, you are most welcome to drop me an email (it’s there in About Me) or add me in Facebook. I have helped my friends – online and offline (hmmm) – to get their cameras from simple point-and-shoot to not so simple DSLR 🙂
I hope I got it right- it is http://www.europafmgipuzkoa.com/player.php for listening to the Europa FM? Haha
And I wish we have their share of (long) summer holidays!
Si Ying – You seem to have got the URL correct so that should be it. You should have different options to listen to the radio and I choose Windows Media Player.
Also, it would ask you for quality. Alto is high I guess … lol. So I choose alto.
Vale, gracias 🙂
Oh saw on FB that you are taking your exams ahead! Jia you and good luck 🙂 I am sure you can make it especially coming back from Spain!
Si Ying – I am not so sure! This round it is pretty hard. I am very concerned over the verbal part. Also the listening.
Gosh. I am so nervous!
Anyway, Europa FM is taking a summer break (they wrote to me!). And the DJs will be back in Aug 31! Can’t wait for that.
Hehe you have 3 weeks to go for more revisions. Think will work out fine 🙂
Yeah its quite nice to have english and spanish songs alternating! Jus that I hardly catch much words haha
Si Ying – Ya, it can be pretty hard to catch the words … lol. But Cynthia somehow able to catch some lyrics. Amazing. As for me, I got the Spanish words for “Happy Hours” when the DJs were around (horas feliz?) and am quite happy about that too.
I have gone through many Spanish channels. Europa FM seems to be my favorite. My only complain is that it doesn’t display song and artist names as compares to some other Internet Radio stations. That’s about it. Force me to listen harder to what the DJs say I guess … ha ha ha.
Haha yeah on and off I catch a few but hardly understanding the whole sentense haha
Yeah, if with the display at least we can know the name of the song/singer for those that we like. Ok now i look forward to having the DJs- hopefully they dont speak so fast!
Si Ying – Oh, when the DJs are in, that is where the fun begins. There will be callers and they will play games or just chat. The Spanish people are so fun people. So much laugther on air. Makes you feel happy too.
They don’t usually speak as fast as the ones in the advertisements. And their prounciation is usually very good (otherwise can’t be a DJ … lol). But I am still limited by the number of words I can recognize. If you know what I mean. So, most of the time, Spanish words are just like music in the air, literally.
