Chicago Short Stories

Penang

One time we had lunch at this Malaysian restaurant called Penang which is located in the heart of Chinatown. The only thing more unusual than a Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown was the person I saw inside:


I think he's lost.

and oh, another thing...


Sinong niloko mo? Lamb ka dyan...

The Taste of Chicago

It’s a big food fair over at Grant Park. I went there with my monopod and DSLR camera but didn’t have a good time. Ugh. Honestly, it was the worst event I’ve been to here in Chicago. I’ve never seen a place so dirty, smelly, and overflowing with people… and I’m from Manila.

Aurora!

The traditional shopping place. We took Jude to Aurora for his last major shopping weekend. I missed this place not for the stores but for the memories...


Our after shopping photo

The Monopod

I was walking along Wacker drive when I saw this dude taking a picture of the Marina City Towers. He had a DSLR camera with a tripod, attached flash, lens hood, and more gizmos I have never seen in my life. My camera has a lens cap and a filter and that’s it. Before going to the Taste of Chicago event, I came up with a monopod.

Bought it from the camera shop? Nah. Look closely.



It’s a broom handle, a Velcro strap and a small table tripod. Eat your heart out McGyver, bet you couldn’t have thought of that.
