We dropped by at the park in Argao before heading off to the beach to skim. Their church and the park is really nice which made me want to take some snaps at the flowers on the ground. Since we were going to the beach after, I didn’t mind squatting or and getting down and dirty just to take the shots.

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!

This was taken last year, April of 2008. A group of friends and I (notice me separating myself from the group) went out to Dalutan Island in Biliran, Leyte for a holy week getaway. I didn’t really know anybody in the group; what I mean is that I knew them by face but I never got to talk to them. I was supposed to tag along with a friend who had plans to go with them. What happened was that my friend wasn’t able to make it so I had to keep a thick face just to meet up with these people because I couldn’t back out anymore. It was more of an acquaintance adventure for me because I went out with people I barely knew and yet there were no issues.

Good thing they were friendly and I was able to get along with them without any problem. A common factor that each of us have is our love for traveling which really helped.

Anyway, I was supposed to put ‘Tripod shots’ as a title but then ‘strangers’ sounded more catchy. We used a tripod to take these snapshots and that’s about it. See? The current title is more interesting. heeh.
