never lose your sense of wonder even if you lose all else




Skivved off academics for a weekend up in Vigan with UP Iris. It's one of those national heritage places where everything for the most part still looks like it did a hundred years ago. It was beautiful, well-lit and it satisfied the de-stifling i meant to do, and i'm glad i went despite how terribly my face broke out in stress spots~
















Elpidio Quirino's shoes. Really swanky stuff.
















































That is a cemetery.




















































































Balut isn't as horribly disgusting as they make it seem on TV, ya know.
























Even the McDonald's is charming!












































My companions.
































That is all! Hope you've all had a pleasant February!

beautiful stunning incredible (i think mejo repetitive yang tatlo)

The ocean looks so beautiful, and Vigan too. I love the furniture, the hallways, and the McDo, even though the food's still kinda shit.

Re: Vigan

It's been almost UNBEARABLY sunny here for the past couple of weeks; advent of summer i suppose, the wonderful consequence of which is beautiful streams of light daily. You should totally go to Vigan, it is worth the heat!

Ohh... now I really want some balut. That picture makes me hungry. XD

Beautiful photos. I always wonder whenever I look at your pictures just how much of my native land I missed on my only visit there [so far]. Everything I saw was definitely not as breathtaking as what your lens captured.

[info]missingthings

February 28 2010, 17:57:49 UTC 2 years ago

Just gotta look more closely, the Philippines is beautiful everywhere! ♥ Thank you! Now go have some balut!

i chanced on this site... hey, you're good, especially with light and shadow effect. you also capture the local color/culture very well. your photos has the effect of transporting me to a different place and different time, a la national geographic photos or still life paintings.

I do have a wedding lined up for the future, but i haven't done any as of now. I have, however, taken photos at a beach at sunset, i suppose that shouldn't be that much different!

I'm so late at commenting on this! I saw it when you first posted it up, was half way typing up something to say and then get called away and forgot. /facepalm

Amazing detail like always! Can I ask what's your current favourite thing to take photos of? Light, colour, texture, emotions... Haha, I mean I'm sure you love all of them but still... :)

[info]missingthings

March 25 2010, 04:11:53 UTC 2 years ago

It's perfectly all right, thanks for taking the time to retype stuff anyway. :D I wouldn't say i have a single thing i love taking photographs of, but i am currently trying to learn how to light things in the studio!
