Photowalk: Roxas Boulevard

I haven't joined a photowalk in a long time. So we have this little camera club in the office and 7 originally signed up for this photowalk, but for whatever reasons, on the day of the walk, we were down to 3 - JB, Moi, and Bimbo. That's me in the middle, malamang. :D



Harbor Square


What I like about photowalks? When you share/compare photos taken from the photowalk, you realize that there are a variety of perspectives that you can shoot a particular subject from. Look at how Jb "saw" this chain here. Now, why didn't I see it that way? :D


Today's catch. Ang konte no? :(


Ulam.


Dahon.


Si Manong Buko. :D


Gusto ko 't0, basta. :D


Pakwan, anyone? :D


One of my many failed attempts at panning. Pero malinaw naman yung 'taguig' van di ba? :D


Finally, I had the chance to take photos of these yatchs! I always see these in most of my Flickr friends' photostreams so dapat meron din ako, haha!


Kahit isa lang, okay na ko :D


Manila Bay


We chanced upon a dragonboat race at the Manila Bay at around 12 noon but the harsh light was so bad, the boats were too far, and I didn't have my telephoto lens, so I didn't get a decent shot. Excuses, Excuses. :D


Till next photowalk! Kelan at saan kaya? :D

Keira's 4!

Keira's 4 already, yay! More photos from her party here.

Yup, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is also a great place for a prenuptial/engagement shoot! Click here to view more photos of Jess and Kel. :)

Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar

Some night shots at Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan. Paki-Google na lang yung place for further details, haha! I am sobrang tamad to write about it just now. :D It's generally a nice (and new) place to visit with your camera in tow. The place is still in its soft opening as there are facilities/attractions that are still being constructed (like the spa and gym). The highlight is a "village" of heritage houses "designed to replicate Hispanic town settlements." We are talking about real old houses in the Philippines that have been restored and set up in a 19th or so century community setting.

Casa Meycauayan.

Casa Meycauayan (close-up :D).


Casa Baliuag I


Casa Binondo I


Paseo de Escolta. This is the only structure that is not authentic and is a mere replica of a typical Escolta Building in the 1900s.

I will post more photos soon, I promise! :D

PEZA's 15th Anniversary and Investors' Recognition Night
08 April 2010
World Trade Center

So we were tasked to perform for our Annual Investors' Recognition Night - yup, in front of thousands of people! I mean, come on, I get paid for writing reports, pero sige na nga, haha! I was able to take pictures of the following performances only: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I belonged to the Thai group and so it was impossible for me to take pictures of our performance, right? :D The Indian group was the first to perform, we were next, and I was just too busy internalizing. :D Here are my favorite shots:

Chinese Fan Dance



Love the Chun-Li hairstyle!


Lion Dance. Hands down to the guys beneath those lions. :D


Japanese


Hora revue ga hajimaru. Hora okurenaide ne. Hora revue ga hajimaru. Hora wasurenaide ne. Whatever that means. :D


Korean Fan Dance


My fave shot!


Those native Korean headdresses made me dizzy! :D


Show's over!


Love, love, love the confetti!


Purdy Girls!


I like the blur on this one.

You gotta love the 50mm! :)

Easy Summer at Palawan

Our (annual) visit to Palawan this time was kind of laid back and so I only have few photos to share.

My younger brother at VietVille Restaurant. Have you ever tried their "chao long"? Yummy


Matinlo Beach, Simpocan, Palawan. They say it's a great place for bird watching. On our first day at a private resort, we met a group of bird watchers who invited us to join them the next day at around 3 or 4 in the morning! Oh. Sige, kayo na lang! Haha! Next time, maybe. Besides, I wasn't prepared - I didn't have my telephoto lens with me.



Basking in the Sun - This is Life!

By the way, meet my Mom and Dad! :)

Good Times!
