Dancing with the waves of Alona beach, Bohol

Last year, I was able to visit Alona beach for the first time with mom and a few of my relatives. It's quite a buzzy place now and it also serves as a huge tourist spot among Bohol's beaches. Here are a few photographs I took using my film camera, Exon, using Fujicolor 100.

In the garden: Caterpillar and the snail

While playing with doggy in the afternoon of August 2011, I saw these tiny green pebble-like stones on the ground. I later realized they're not stones, but the feces of a heavy-eating tiny creature that will soon turn into a beautiful butterfly. Yes, it's a caterpillar :))

I'm not familiar with how the caterpillar looks like when it comes out of its cocoon, nor am I really sure if its a male or a female. But I know it's a caterpillar :))























He gobbles half of our periwinkle leaves. I bet he enjoyed it, for after a while of taking pictures of him, he went to a side and started to doze off. I had to wake him up again so that his beautiful blue eyes would show in the pictures. [sorry! minsan lng ako mangugulo :))]

Katie, 2011

I'll be posting overdue photoposts every now and then. By "Overdue" I meant - photos taken from 2011. Most of the random ones are on my photoblog here.

Meet Katie, my 5-yr old niece from Bohol. This set was taken when I visited her and some of my relatives in Bohol last June 2011.

[Backlog] Macau March 2011 p.2

Our last 2 days from the trip were spent on walking around the streets of Macau. Also, I had the chance to visit their version of The Venetian.

"Friendship Avenue" - I think that's what it meant :P

Nikon!

Grand Lisboa

Macau's economy depends largely on casinos, hence, the casino photos around the place. I noticed that some hotels also offer casinos. There're black cars with men in suit every now and then.

more photos after the cut! :)

[Backlog] Macau & HK March 2011 p.1

Although this post is long overdue, I would still like to share the land of Macau and Hong kong last March 2011. During this trip, Macau's a first, and HK's a second. The last time I visited HK was way back 2005, during the year opening of HK Disneyland. 

We took the last night flight, and arrived in Macau early morning.

I tell you, if you arrive in Macau at nighttime, when the lights and all the thingamagigs going on, you'll be like riding a roller coaster ride. The roads are designed to be interlocking each other to maximize the space since Macau is a small country. I couldn't take off my eyes at the colorful lights displayed by every building that seemed like a part of the said roller coaster, not to mention the cab we were in was driving too fast, but probably too "normal" for them.

Immediately after arriving, mom sought for a money changer. We then took a cab to our hotel.

Actually, this trip was close to cancellation because it interfered with my battery exam as well as my mom's 

proctor exam last March. But anyway, the trip was rearranged and even though some days were deducted from the original itinerary, it was still worth it :)

The next day, we went to the ferry to get a transfer from Macau to Hong Kong.

one fine Monday afternoon

This week starts our winter/xmas/end-of-the year break. I'm pumped up to use it wisely, and part of that is to finish my requirement for our Psychiatric nursing subject - to make a scrapbook. It typically includes one's life from infancy up to present. We're supposed to pass it before our mental health rotation, so yeah, I had to scan most of my old photos. I was surprised by how my mom diligently took photos of our every move during our developmental milestone :)), no wonder I loved taking photos. It was still film then, so it must've costed much.

I'm quite happy with how the photos came out :).

on the side... After having the photos printed and paying my online orders I went home. I usually ride the mini cab inside the subdivision but I decided to walk this time. I figured I needed some fresh air and exercise. Plus, I brought Dee-three with me :D I'll let the pictures do the talking :)

Pentax MX

Meet the new addition to my camera family, "Pie" :D!

She is a SLR from the Pentax family. I got her just this weekend. I am beyond excited to use it! :)
