"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive." - Eleonora Duse

Photograph | Recapturing Baguio

I've been to Baguio a few times last year. Someone asked me why I keep going back and, at first, I was taken aback to that question. But in retrospect, I think that the city gives me this feeling of serenity. It is a place whispering of tales and secrets more than one could ever imagine. And it constantly surprises me of what it has to offer which seems to be its romantic gesture.

Photograph | The City of Gentle People in Blue

Went back to my home town last August in time of Silliman University's Founders Week Celebration and my birthday which happens to be Silliman's Founders Day. It is totally hard to plan anything out of town when you're actually home because the laid back charm of Dumaguete is very inviting. So, I wasn't able to go to places or towns near Dumaguete and will update my blog soon. Soon. *winks*

Best of Travel Photos | My 7 Super Shots

When one of the finest travel photographer, Christian of Lakad Pilipinas, I have always looked up to tag me for the 7 super shots it was like OMG. Haha Kidding aside, I am really one of his readers ever since I started blogging, so you could just imagine the happiness and pressure I had when I received the invitation. It took me about two months to finally do it and scanning through thousands of pictures to look for 7 photos, well that was pretty hard.

After hours of scanning, here it is, I present to you what I considered as my 7 errrr…super shots. ;)

Pandan Island | Blue Hour by The Beach

For me, one of the beautiful moments of each passing day in our lives is when I see that awe-inspiring view when light and darkness are blending at some point. I love sunsets, but how I long to see twilight after the sun sets and prepare my tripod and camera at hand to capture the place at the perfect moment as it comes and, in just a few minutes, goes into darkness.

Baguio | Sunset 'til Night

After going to Baguio Botanical Garden when the rain poured down so hard, we decided to stay at the mall and wait for our late night trip. We weren't able to go to the other places we wanted to visit so, we just did what is normally done when people are bored --- we took pictures from sunset until night! :)

Azalea Residences, Baguio City

Visiting Baguio's popular tourist places can leave you dread tired at the end of the day. That is why a great accommodation in the city is a treat for yourself that you can never go wrong.

One of the finest, grandeur and contemporary places you can find in the city is the Azalea Residences. The name Azalea is taken from a flowering shrub that is commonly found in Baguio and in fact, found right at their entrance.

Photograph | A Street in Baguio City

Jan 2012

My co-workers who were with me during my Baguio trip were already fed up by me mentioning about Blue Hour. (Haha) I couldn't blame them coz I was really that insistent. But I couldn't blame myself either. Because whenever I shoot at this beautiful hour of the day (especially to a new place), my soul seems to feel like re-ignited with inspiration and awe. :)

Photograph | Blue Hour at Pampanga

Blue Hour at Clark, Pampanga

Adding another photo for my own humble series of "Blue Hour." This was taken before the 17th Hot Air Balloon Festival in the Philippines. I just can't resist the vastness of sky right in front of me and so I decided to take a shot, and I never regretted that I did. :)

Photograph | Morning Blue

Morning Blue

It was early November last year when my schedule at work was changed to night shift for two weeks. And on my first day, working with the third shift, I simply got amazed when I saw the "Morning Blue" right outside the glass wall from our office. It was then that this idea was realized and I totally grabbed the chance to capture the morning sweetness that somehow, for me, is like a promise of a new and brighter day.

This is a sequel of my previous post about my attempt on blue hour. Many more "blues" to come. :)

Photograph | Quezon Memorial Circle at Night

Although I have lived for more than a year near the Quezon Memorial Circle, I have never set foot on the place until last week when my friend and I decided to go there and try to capture what I think is a great place for family and friends to hang out and enjoy.

Photograph | Blue Hour Attempt

At Greenbelt

Sharing something that was taken at Greenbelt while attempting to capture the scenery during the blue hour. I just wished I had brought my tripod with me so I could have captured more photos. Wish me luck for many more attempts to come about the blue hour. :)
