Tapuakan River: Unguarded Moments

Here are photos from Tapuakan River. I captured moments of my companions during their unguarded moments when they were not looking at the camera. Truly each moment revealed a story of its own because of the picturesque view and the picturesque people in it. It's such joy to see those moments come to life through these pictures.

STIers La Union: The Goal to Win

With the theme "Different Sports... Diverse People... Yet, One Goal to win!", the STI College La Union celebrated their Sportsfest that showcased and continues to showcase sportsmanship. Here are photos which we managed to take before the the pageant and cheering proper.

Tarlac Story

It was a road trip to Tarlac over the weekend and here are the photos i was able to take...

Just Random: Anything I was able to digest during the trip. Food, sights and just about anything under the sun.

Autobots: Transformers toys are good for both young and old as collector's items. (Joshua can't stop himself from transforming it to robots and then as autos.)

The wonder of travelling and photography is that we find beauty in life even in the simplest things.

Baguio City: Let the Children Play

 I remember looking at pictures of my childhood and how I would be running around greeneries or parks in Baguio City. As I grew up, I end up going to these parks once in a while no longer to play but to accompany children who would always bring out the child in me. Much has changed then, the once greener parks end devastated. The environment is slowly destroyed. Trees are no longer abundant. Why has this happened? No matter how they strive to revive the old Baguio, realities now are that the cool breeze we once enjoyed is slowly getting warmer. And the greeneries started to turn into “browneries”. If there ever was a word... lol!!!

I wish we could turn back the time to kind of Baguio we once knew. It might be wishful thinking now. Slowly, the playgrounds we once used to play are getting smaller and smaller for the children of this generation. What more for the future?

Here are snapshots of what’s still left of Baguio City, scenes of contrasting commercialism and the children at play who would bring out the child in us all.
