LP #5 Malungkot

May 1st, 2008 · 16 Comments

Ang mga larawan na ito ay kinuhanan sa Isla ng Corregidor. Nakakalungkot isping ang minsang masiglang bayan ay isa na ngayong animoy ———– na ang mga turista at nangngalaga na lang ang nagbibigay buhay dito. Hindi lamang yun, pati ang kasiraang dulot ng Ikalawang Pandaigdigang Digmaan at mga buhay na nawala dulot nito. Mas […]

LP: Apat na Kanto

April 17th, 2008 · 14 Comments

Ang mga kwadradung upuan sa MacArthur Park. Wala mang nakakaupo sa mga upuan na ito nung kinunan ko, nakakasiguro ako na pagdating ng Sabado at Linggo puno ito ng mga pamilya at mga magsingirog na magpapalipas ng oras sa parke.

I was excited about my bag because it represented the possibility of more travels and camera because it was an instrument to capture happy memories. Unfortunately, midway through my […]

Aside from beaches, the country is gifted with mountains, mountain ranges, hills and valleys. There are areas where the beach on one side and mountains on the other border the road.

Summer and Beaches

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Summer is here once again and for me, summer is synonymous to beaches. No summer is ever complete without at least one trip to the beach. Good thing there are a lot of beaches around the country. It would be great if I can combine my love of beaches with my love […]

Horseback riding

March 24th, 2008 · No Comments

When I was young I always wanted to learn how to ride a horse. It was something I read about in books and it seemed such an interesting hobby. The first time I rode a horse was in Baguio. It was easy to stay in the saddle because the horse was very […]
