A (Rainy) Day in Phillip's Sanctuary

It's the most spacious team building venue I've ever been into. But I blame typhoon Odette for the heavy downpour. We were soaked in the rain and weren't able to maximize what Phillip's Sanctuary has to offer. 

Mogu Tree Noodle House

Hello, Mogu Tree House!

Rain was pouring hard when Elbert and I visited Mogu Tree House in Lilac St., SSS Village. This is the first day of our quest to try out commendable food hubs in my lupang sinilangang Marikina.

Angelica's Lomi House

Sumptuous lomi in Angelica's Lomi House

This is going to be a quick post.

If you haven't been to Angelica's Lomi House and Eatery in Batangas, then you're doomed! (ha-ha). Kidding aside, Angelica's lomi is DA-BOMB! I love spicy food so I sprinkled it with tons of pepper and soy sauce for that extra saltiness. Kalamansi is also provided.

Batangas Beach Hoppin' - Blue Coral

Blue Coral Beach Resort, Batangas

Thinking where to go somewhere in Batangas for a beach getaway especially with your barkadas or families? I hope this series would help you decide. I joined my colleagues for an ocular visit for my company's summer getaway. I seriously had fun doing this activity. But it was really tiring at the end of the day! :p

Baclayon Church

The Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon is considered to be one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It is one of the best preserved Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church. - Source www.bohol.ph

Albuquerque Church

It was surprising to see various Catholic churches in Bohol. Big, small, simple, elaborate structures...they're practically everywhere. So, we took advantage of our van rental. Good thing our driver was patient enough for stop-overs.

Hello, Mr. Caterpilar

Looks eeky?! :D This is a dead higad or caterpillar taken during our day trip to Tanay at my Tita Rose's vacant property.  This is my first attempt with Elbert's DIY (Do It Yourself) macro gears. Sometime 2010. I miss macro shoot! :(

How I did it? One word: PATIENCE! :p

Mission in Negros

I went to Negros Occidental sometime last quarter of 2010. I didn't go there for pleasure but for missionary works. The Holy Rosary Mission of the Philippines conducted its annual celebration of its branch in Negros and I was lucky to be part of the feeding project. I spent three days there to propagate the devotion of Mama Virgin Mary and her rosary.

Pairs and Partners

This is my first winning piece in our photography club (Well, not really winning-winning because I topped as the 2nd place - haha). The subject/concept is PAIRS and PARTNERS for February.

I took this at the lounge of our office. Those are actually Bacardi and red wine. Kuya waiter sliced some lemons for me (for extra flair daw! he-he).

For this shot I used a 50mm Canon lens that gave me a niece and swabeng bokeh. It's one of my favorite lens. Cheap yet effective! :) 

Cebu City's Finest

I must admit, I only get to visit Cebu because of Bohol. We always take a quick stop to this beautiful city which is just 2-hour ferry ride to and from Tagbilaran City.

Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

 

French Cafe? In Malaysia? I was looking forward to trying out Malaysian dishes for the whole span of our trip. Since my ate said it's worth it, so we gave it a try. After a tiring photowalk in Batu Caves and drooling over chocolates at Berly's Chocolate Factory, we headed to Levain for lunch which is just a street away (and yes walking distance) from Berlys.
