Mt. Romelo

It really amazed me on how they put up this swing for the kid.

Batya Batya falls is one of the challenging to reach because we would swim on a sort of a lake before you could climb to the top.

Adventure 2013

2013 was one of the greatest adventures. Though I also experienced the darkest moment, heck it was the best roller coaster ride of my life. I tried to get out from my comfort zone and took the plunged into my so called “sort of” unknown. It’s worth the risk. 

I went to an out of town trips / travel with my close friends, fellow ex members of a youth organization and college friends.

I also met people from different walks of life and they became my friends, my persons. We have shared same interest in arts, music, travels, nature, sports, hobbies and etc.  We don’t meet regularly but we see to it we could travel away from the urban life to unwind and recharge ourselves from stress. Sometimes we also attend on events once a year like watching band concerts and other gatherings.

Since I don’t have a camera at the moment, most of these pictures were captured by my friends.

It’s been 3 years since I’ve started posting photos on this account. I am a frustrated photographer and as you can see most of the photos posted here were random shots. I don't care whether I'm violating rules on how to take pictures/shots of things or not.

Using quotes, lyrics and photos to reflect my feelings, this photoblog served as one of my outlets. I used it too, to share with everyone how I have appreciated the blessings that were given to me - the views, mountains, plants, people, and etc.

Thanks to those who took time to visit, appreciate, and comment on my page.

Thank you very much!!!!! It inspires me.. God bless everyone!

the road not taken

[man made forest - bohol]
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

a poem written by Rober Frost

*an unforgettable poem during my college days...
someone took that pic for me...

so far away

[view of chocolate hills from cruz daku mountain]

So far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn’t help to know that you’re just time away .
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you’re so far away
One more song about movin’ along the highway
Can’t say much of anything that’s new
If I could only work this life out my way
I’d rather spend it bein’ close to you
But you’re so far away
You’re so far away
Travelin’ around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin’ else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don’t come to own me
But there’s so many dreams I’ve yet to find
But you’re so far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn’t help to know, it doesn’t help to know
It doesn’t help to know
You’re so far away
