That's today! I hope the sky clears up so we can see this event.

Did you saw it? I was caught in traffic and forgot about it. Too bad.
ReplyDeletei waited for it 5:23 AM here. Did n't see a thing. That Oak tree was the culprit.
ReplyDeletehindi ko nakita yan! :( nakalimutan ko kasi na ngayon pala yan... hehehe!
ReplyDeletenakita mo kuya?! post ka ng pix if ever nakunan mo ha!
I saw that yesterday morning at around 530AM when I was driving to school... I can appreciate nature's wonder better at around 9AM. At that moment, I wasjust mad that I was awake.
ReplyDeletedi ko nakita sayang, sa lugar nyo ba nagpakita?
ReplyDeleteit was cloudy late afternoon of august 28 here in manila. though at night, you would notice that the sky turned redish. heard that it was clearly seen in cebu and davao.
ReplyDeleteOh well, maybe next time. Back in the 60's I got a chance to see a near full solar eclipse. Now that was eerie! For a few minutes the afternoon sun was mostly blocked out and turned daytime into dusk. I can see why something like that would have scared the animal skins off of ancient man.
ReplyDeletei was too sleepy to wait. nakita ko na lang sa TV.
