Camiguin Island Adventure

It was another out of town trip with IDPC, and with the permission with the group I tag along my good friend Eric Silla. We stayed with the Abuzo's and had tons of fun shooting here and there, it felt like we've been to every corner of Camiguin in the span of 3 days.

Katibawasan Falls

Sunken Cemetery

Paras Beach Resort

White Island

Another Sunset Shot near Belle's Grandma's House

Mantigue Island

Last glimpse of Camiguin, at the port.

It was also a great time to learn shooting using natural available lights, how to wait for the sun to go down c/o sir veni and the best hours to shoot and how to compensate if it went beyond already.

Thank you Belle, the people who organized this and the rest of the IDPC folks for this adventure. It was indeed one of the must-see places here in the Philippines.

Back and Forth

This blog site had been in existence since 2005. It started out as a venue for my personal heartaches. One day, I just kind of stopped updating it. My presumption then was that it would be automatically terminated due to inactivity. Years after, it finally haunted me. That time I was busy google’ing my name out of boredom. Yep, it's a serious habit of mine! It definitely freaked me out seeing actual names of my so-called first love or serious crush maybe, or whatever that may be called 5 years ago. Here's the catch, I forgot the password and surprisingly even the email address that I used to create the account. Of course, it was revived after a series of trial and error.

So many things happened since the last time I have written in here. What I was then is no longer half of who I am now. I guess, one obvious fact is that how I speak before is no longer the way I speak now. I tried to read every entry but I couldn't even finish one. I was so embarrassed. 

I realized that changes may be inevitable but these changes aren’t always about moving forward neither about living it backwards.

Of the many imperfections that I have come to accept over the years, there exists a perfect word for me – I am constantly "refurbished". I live in random choices and to live spontaneously is what keeps me going.

Just like the kids at the shore, they don't just wait for the waves, they don't mind pacing back and forth. Pretty much like how I deal with life... at least for now.
