Three years, well, almost three years. That's how long I've evaded the call to travel.  It was a choice, actually, and no regrets whatsoever.  But when I got the chance, I didn't let it pass and the experience awakened what I thought I already lost (if I have it, in the first place hehe). The recent little Batangas adventure in Blue Coral Beach Resort was a breath of fresh air.  It feels

There are things that are memorable, there are memories that are unforgettable, and there are moments that are simply treasurable. We took our daughter to the beach for the first time, her first outing and also me and lyn's first in three years (yes, that loooong).  The excited parents packed her two-piece bikini (that was bought by her mommyla) while almost forgetting their swimming attires.

Fiesta is a celebration, and the Philippines being a land with all kinds of fiestas (we tend to celebrate all things imaginable hehe) just makes us the land of celebrations. And whenever there's a celebration, smile (and laughter, lots of them) follows.I was able to catch some of those smiles in the recent Aliwan Fiesta, and even if was so hot on that day, it was raining with ready smiles.

Dubbed as the Philippines' Grandest Fiesta, this festival gathered the country's most celebrated festivals in one place, imagine the combined colors and energy of Sinulog, Dinagyang, Panagbenga and a lot more, there's so much color, so much energy and so hoooot (figuratively and literally speaking) to shoot.I was there last weekend, and despite the raging El Niño, participants, lots of

I was asked by a friend to do a pre-nuptial shoot for her college friend. I excitedly said yes right away. Moments later when it sunk in, I panicked! hehehe.Last year, when I did my brother's pre-nup shoot, I wasn't that high on the outcome (some pictures came out dark!!!), and I need to do a lot of post processing (in Picasa, I am yet to try my hand on photoshop) to brighten up my day, uhm,

Last Monday was a holiday, it was a long weekend (for all schools) and long weekends in the past were spent mostly on travels. Since i am the only one that has no office (i work in a school), no travel this time.And I have nothing to do.But I do not want an entire day to just go by and do absolutely nothing, so, since I have not used Zeus for quite a while, I thought of doing a photowalk with Me

Remember the movie with the same title? You know, the movie about a child who conjures the notion of paying a favor not back, but forward--repaying good deeds not with payback, but with new good deeds done to three new people?Well, not exactly done to three new people, but doing the same good deed to a couple or even a single person is still good, tama ba? Lyn and I did that recently.When a

the last time i was in this situation was months before i got married, or almost two years ago.i felt that if i am going to push for it, i'll regret it later, or if i decide against it, then, i might regret it, too. i weighed the pros and cons (not that there were a lot), thought about it a lot of times, I even saw it in my dreams, and i stared at my reflection more than a hundred times.i tried

I am yet to get a basic photography course or be enrolled in one, pero ako itong malakas ang loob dumiretso agad sa basic lighting na kung tutuusin ay isang advance course. Hindi naman ito sa isang photography school kundi initiative ng aming grupo sa Flickr, ang Flickristasindios. Hindi rin isang professor ang resource person namin, pero si Ten Paras ay master na sa pagtitimpla ng ilaw.

We're doing okay.The last two months have been a roller-coaster ride: one second we're very happy, the next moment was the exact opposite.Maybe it was a dash of reminder that we need to prepare more, psychologically and financially. Maybe it was a way of saying that we cannot rush everything.Maybe we are being told to wait for the right time, for the right moment.And when we are really ready,

I remember Lyn and I slept early that evening, and then I saw my father, very young looking and peaceful, he was wearing a polo shirt and he was with some people whose faces i cannot see, just white-blurry moving images surrounding my dad."Dinalaw ko lang kayo." he told me smiling.He said something though I cannot recall what it was, or maybe I didn't understand, but I remember myself saying "Oo

It was a nice feeling going back to mountain climbing after almost a year of outdoor inactivity. The last time that i climbed was in March 2008, something like a pre-birthday climb in Batulao. It's good to see the same old faces and meeting new ones, and taking care of first time climbers in the group is an enjoyable but also a hell of a job, now I know how the veterans felt when I came

(Just a little note though, you may or may not agree on what is written here, but this was our experience, this was how we saw things and our preparation was basically treading on the practical side of everything). You agreed on the date, and to keep the ball rolling, you should also agree on the place: the church, plus the reception venue.Even before we become engaged, Lyn and I already agreed

It's almost mid-January and it's only now that I am posting something here. Talking about starting the new year on the right foot, yeah right hehehe.I got a bunch of stories to tell but I don't know how and when to start. It seems the little nest inside my skull is also adjusting to the new life that I had. But one day, I know that I'll get used to the new setting, just like the way I am starting

It has been said that the journey to a thousand miles begins with a single step. Or the first step.And in the preparation for a journey to a thousand forever, where or how to begin?First on the list would have to be the date, yes, the wedding date and not who to invite, who to do the gown, who the photographer, who'll do the catering, etc, etc. There will be a lot of time for those, but first

It all started with a question, then she said yes.If we're going to go back and remember everything, the months of planning, preparation, a major setback, bridal fairs and lots and lots of meetings all over the metro were a dizzying spectacle we never thought we can accomplish (and survived!), and how's that with the equally migraine-inducing work schedules we have?In about two months, a

I can only think of two occasions where family reunions (other than those that were painstakingly planned) can happen: a death in the family and a wedding in the family.During the wake of my father, an instant get-together happened right from the first night until the last one. My cousins whom I have not seen for the last 15 or so years were present to give their last respect to my dad, and for

To everyone, for all your prayers and condolences, maraming-maraming salamat. More than 40 days after my father's death, the feeling of losing a part of our heart is still there (and will always be, i guess) but we can now smile, we can now laugh, we can now talk about Daddy without a tear and more importantly, I can now see acceptance from the eyes of my mother. God's hands worked in silence,

So far we’ve been to three, and I think that would be enough. Imagine walking into a place where everything that soon-to-be married couples will need were fitted into a scented, decorated, a bit noisy, and dizzying showground, these couples will be overwhelmed and overwhelmed, and in our case, multiply that by three.A bridal fair can either be the couple’s heaven or their nightmare.

For the last three years, I've been dreaming of setting foot on this very remote island, climbing the rock formations, having a blast on its very still and very clear water, shooting until my batteries and memory card give up and enjoying the beach with its fine sand to my heart's content.Since the arrival of a P200-million development plan and the media mileage it gained from Survivor France and

But, I am just a guest who enjoyed the sand and can only shout to the world that it's mine no more than the hours that i walked, sit, swam and shoot on its creamy fine white sand and clear water. My shout maybe loud but it will only be eaten by the wind,

where is this place? no, it's not boracay or palawan, not even cebu or davao. forget about puerto galera and even zambales. pagudpud is quite far. so where is it? sirit? in my beloved province, Quezon. believe it. more later...

Years ago, Anawangin is a secret place, a paradise known and frequented by mountaineers, a very serene cove hidden from the tourists' eyes, behind the grassy mountains and fenced by the sometime powerful waves of the South China Sea. And the beach is basically free. 2008. The place is no longer secret, mountaineers now shared the still serene but now very fragile cove to throng of tourists,

after a fast paced night trek, and hours of alcohol-glazed bonding with fellow mountaineers, waking up and being greeted with a spectacular explosion of morning colors is just priceless. (photos taken in Mt. Batulao)me ganyan ba sa manila? :)

when you think of Mindoro, the things that come to mind were Puerto Galera, white beach, wild partying, tamaraw and mindoro sling. and when you take pictures of galera, you'll have the sunset, the sand, the party people, boats and this mountain looming majestically in the background. that's mt. malasimbo.years ago, when i first set foot in galera, i just thought of the mountain as a nice

along with Japanese food, Thai food is one of the best chows i've discovered in recent years that made me a convert, and made me realized there are better, way better, choices than those fastfoods that i thought were comfort foods.my love affair with thai food started when i was first introduced to THE bagoong rice of sukhothai (i miss this restaurant!) and then it flourished when i worked in a

Years ago, my idea of japanese food was limited only to Tokyo Tokyo and the uber-oily Ebi tempura, sashimi was a big no-no (because it's raw), and i don't even know how to use the chopsticks! But now, aside from mastering the chopsticks, Japanese food, along with Thai food, has became a favorite! Blame it on me for working with the Japanese people (a lot of Japanese!) for the last five years. :)

my first time in Anawangin last year was a memorable one, despite the rain and the huge waves that come with it and some "supernatural" experience, i remember being mesmerized by its natural beauty. i promised myself to be back. last weekend, that promise was fulfilled. Yapak Mountaineers had its first team building in Anawangin (the area, especially Pundaquit, is now the favorite location of

last december, during Yapak's christmas party which i was not able to attend because it falls on the day that we will watch Avenue Q, i was nominated for some awards (nine categories, i think) and i was able to bag three of those! holy camote, how did that happened is beyond me hehehe. the certificates were given to me just recently, and i was like, wow! i could be happier if there's a cash prize
