Amateur Snapper
Malapascua Island
North of Cebu, Philippines
There’s something about how calm and homey Malapascua felt. I’ve been to a number of beaches elsewhere but somehow, it felt like this was ‘my place’.
Anyway, took a shot at the sun and played with some of the settings of my camera after I researched on how to capture the sunrise. Forgot the settings again but this time, I’m glad I was able to get a snap at the circle.

Maribago Bluewater Resort
Mactan, Cebu
November 15, 2009
Had a good time at Maribago Bluewater Resort with other bloggers on a Sunday when everyone else was watching the fight between Pacquiao and Cotto. It was one hot day at the beach that it was really a good time to cool off and dip in the water. I still have to create an entry out of this, it’s just that I had to post the pictures of the Maribago Bluewater Resort for other blogger friends to see and grab. hehe.

Flying Fiesta at Enchanted Kingdom
Laguna, Philippines
I’ve always wanted to go to Enchanted Kingdom (a theme park) when I was still a kid. When it was still new, I was probably 9 years old. I could only see the advertisement on television and I couldn’t go there because it was in another region which is far from our province. When we were in Manila, my brother had a chance to visit EK because of a field trip in their class; I was still in grade 5. I was jealous of him because I didn’t have the same chance and he was so happy when he came back from the trip.
Fast forward to 2008 (that’s 13 years later!), I finally got the opportunity to check out the place and try their rides. Although, I had a couple of failed attempts to get inside because of other events from preventing me to enter, I was finally able to get in with free tickets! Here are my blog entries about it:
This is the flying fiesta (aka wave swinger from wikipedia) which is one of the rides I wanted to take a shot of because of its rich color and lights. I bought a tripod and used it to take a shot while the ride was doing its round.

Will be posting more pictures soon.
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 miss eating durian though.

I'm not a photographer, I just take pictures.
The blog owner likes to travel a lot. He also likes taking pictures of different places he's been to. He has four other personal blogs to maintain and is still wondering why he purchased another one (edsnaps.com). As if he has all the time in the world, he does his best to stay awake on days when he needs to work at the office, study in school and blog to earn money.
Now, after he bought his first DSLR camera, he's learning the ropes of understanding the complexities of aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity et.al. Join him in his journey in the realm of photography, nosebleed and all. Peace out!
