SIARGAO IN FILM

This is the mother of all backlogs, I tell you.

This was our first trip to Siargao three years ago. The place which swept us off our feet in a matter of seconds. I just felt like I need to share this for a handful of reasons.

1. We already fulfilled our promise that we will go back here. We did and now we want to go back again and for a much longer vacation.

2. I was pregnant the first time we went here and the little one is turning two in a few months time.

3. It would be selfish not to share, the place is a parcel of my heaven.

4. It's summer!!!

These photos were taken by the husband. Shot in film which still amazes me until now. Shot with Canon AE-1 Program 50mm 1:1.8 FD lens attached with a wide angle fish eye converter. Film: Kodak Ultra Max 400

ALCOY

This was our impromptu trip to Alcoy a few months back. It was just one of those mornings when I was feeling down and I couldn't pinpoint as to why. For an instant remedy -- pulled the first swimsuit I saw in my closet, a change of clothes, towel, a good book, camera, sunglasses, my husband and off to the beach we went. 

See, this is why I love you so much, Cebu. Look how beautiful your public beaches are.

SIQUIJOR: I

Siquijor is definitely one of our country's secret gem. One place I vowed to return to.

Spellbound

This is one thing I will never get tired of. I think I will already be in a rocking chair, old and aging and the mere sight of fireworks display and I'd be this giddy, young girl fixated in the sky. Spellbound. So, how about this as a view from your window?
