I received a comment in my previous blog snapshot from a visitor named Felix

Through your lens I see the world. Keep up the good work. Hope I could one day visit these places.

Although it may only be a simple comment, somehow it struck  a cord because of the simplicity but depth of the reaction. It’s nice cause it makes me appreciate the things that I do just for the heck of wanting to post pictures of places I’ve been to. It does hold a fact that whenever we write something, or publish an entry, we are seeing a life of another person in their eyes; or in this case, lens. I hope to share more facts and tidbits in this blog as I still have a number of pictures stored. Although I do have another site where I talk about how I got to these places, I give more focus on pictures here since we can appreciate the shots even better.

I hope to capture more places, events, things and random what-nots.

This was taken in a condotel room in Manila called Torre Venezia. Spent two separate weeks there for a business trip and decided to play with my camera since i just bought a tripod and took a shot in front of the mirror.

Some time in March 2009, we went to Davao, our home town because it was my younger brother’s graduation and we wanted to visit the place for it’s been a terrible while since we last visited the Land of Promise or in our case, the Durian city. After 10 years, 10 effin’ years, we were able to go back to the place where we grew up. A lot has already changed, our old house now is replaced with a commercial building. Anyway, before I go all historical here, here’s a picture of the Davao Durian Monument which is pretty much noticeable when you go out of the Davao International Airport.

Durian has been the most beloved fruit of Davaoeños and Davao city has been known to produce this fruit. I love durian but the reactions of people are actually in extremes. Either you hate it or love it because of its smell. In any case, there are durians now that are not that smelly anymore.

Here are the rest of my blog entry pictures of the place I still call home.

I figured I’d create this site as my photo gallery. Instead of putting my pictures in multiply, I’ll use this instead.

Went to Sumilon Island last August 1, 2009 and had a swell time since I got to check out one of the best destinations in Cebu. It’s nice especially that this was a treat to bloggers in the community. What I like most about this event is that it matches the type of topics that I normally talk about in my blogs. Anyway, here are the rest of the pictures in my Sumilon island trip.

I still have to come up with a watermark and next time, I should get the gallery plugin to work. In th mean time, this will have to do. To see the rest of my write-up about my Sumilon island trip, you can check out my blog entry about it. Click on the link below.

Hope you have some time to read it.

SUMILON ISLAND PHOTOS

I love the beach that I recall memories of childhood every weekend with relatives whenever I get to visit one.

This was taken in the island of Sumilon, Cebu on one of those rare trips that people pay you just to talk about them. Was so glad to be able to take part in this adventure and it only cost me time which isn’t that costly considering that this is  a break from work.

The weather wasn’t that sunny but the waves were good. So here I go as I frolic and let the water overwhelm me. Thanks to Doi for taking these shots!
