Have You Been to South Beach in Staten Island?

You can commute without much fuss from another borough of NYC. Plan how to get to Staten Island by the ferry.

From St George Ferry Terminal in Staten Island, take the Bus S51 from Ramp B. This ride may not take longer than 20 minutes passing by Staten Island's downtown and picturesque streets to take you the Beach.

Get off at Sand Land and Dolphin Fountain, and the Beach is just a block away across the street from the traffic stop light. Have fun!

Zen like view......the skies looking peaceful, and myself feeling rested even for a moment that seemed to last for a long while



I didn't venture to these spots anymore; they have to be explored next visit.


The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge from a short distance


The owners of this pug were pleased to be asked to have their pet be photographed....he just looks so strong and fit! and ready to punch anytime! LOL



"Madonna and child" poses at the beach? after the beach?


Was surprised to see a wind vane with a dolphin attached to it


Lovely seeing Snoopy up there while being at the beach!


If she happened to be perched on much lower lounge seat with a similar size huge umbrella, you won't think she's at work as the lifeguard, would you?


The sign posted on the boardwalk lists down some of the notable movies that were shot in Staten Island, including "Birth of a Nation." Hmmm...Impressive!

Swimmers better heed this sign....

Yes; South Beach is truly one of NYC's best kept secrets. In some ways it is superior to the far more reknown Jones Beach. Hell, it is more intimate and homey with vistas of Brooklyn to be had. (I'm the chap whose shadow you see herein.)

Of Penis Rings, Nude Yoga, and the Ancient Sexual Custom of Palang in Pre-Hispanic Cebu

Update: HNY has already closed shop with the lead yogi Aaron Starr focusing his energies on Blue Osa , a yoga retreat and spa in Costa Rica. I've since then written 3 articles from what I learned by engaging in yoga: Men and Yoga The health benefits of yoga for men A guide on how and where to get yoga instructor certification in New York Read about what got into my mind in one of those times when I showed up at the former HNY's studio in Chelsea below: Last night's nude yoga session ( see Hot Nude Yoga ) led to a brief chat that gave me the opportunity to quench my curiosity over the penis rings that hang on the genital region of one of the participants. The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
