Amanpulo, Pamalican Island
September 2012
Paradise.
A secluded island coyly hidden among Palawan's mini archipelago.
The world disappears as you meander along its long stretches of white sand and aquamarine waters.

Binondo
Chinatown, Binondo, Manila
September 2012
I love this place. The sights, the smells, the vibrant colors, and the language of the streets! It's like being transported to another country.
And contrary to what people might think, I feel pretty safe walking along the bustling streets with my camera. Perhaps the people have been so used to tourists taking photos of every lamppost and Chinese Sign. One time, two street children posed to have their pictures taken and scrambled over to my side to see the photo. One of them tried to touch my LCD screen, but the other gently swatted away his hand. These children may have dirty feet and worn out clothes, but they smile as if they are on streets made of gold. :)

Isla del Fuego
Siquijor
May 2012
Although we were slightly disappointed that we weren't haunted by the evil spirits or accosted by the witches that supposedly roam the island, we were bewitched by the laid back charm and the pretty sights the island offered.
We did get to visit a mananambal though, and the experience was a curious one as we couldn't totally explain the things that we saw in her little nipa hut.

Further Down South
Location: Samal Island, Davao
April 30, 2012
My favorite girls and I escaped the clutches of Davao City and went to nearby Samal island for the night. We were welcomed by a bright full moon and calm, serene waters. We stayed at Sam's cousin's resthouse and we had the place all to ourselves so we whiled the night away with our singing. I was enthralled to see the City winking at us from the distance, as if she knew our secrets.
The moment was particularly beautiful so I couldn't resist some night photography- my special love. It's like trying to capture beauty out of darkness. Uncovering light from the cover of the moon and all that jazz, blah blah. :) Anyway, here are my favorite shots from that night.

Southern Lights
Location: Cebu- Mactan
Half of these photos are memories from a beautiful and unforgettable night.
The other half were taken in an effort to dilute those same memories.
