About Me
Why Travel?
At one point in your life you will feel exhausted, bored and tired of your routinary life. When that day comes, just step out of your comfort box, move away from your usual self and see your life from different perspectives. Travel! Head out to the endless horizon and discover the world, go places and meet new faces, explore to understand new cultures, get lost to find yourself. In the end you will realize that traveling is not only about learning new cultures or meeting new friends or discovering new places, it also lets us discover our own culture, our limits, ourselves. It is a personal journey to self-discovery, because after all, it is only from the outside that we can look back in.

Hi Angel,
Ang ganda naman ng mga pics mo. I hope you don’t mind, may i ask if D60 was the one you used to all your pics?
Are these RAW images tapos inaapplayan mo ng certain filter? Sobrang clear and vivid kasi ng mga pics mo.
Thanks.
Mark
Wow! Thanks mark. Yep, I used Nikod D60 for the images except for the underwater and diving pics wherein I use Olyms Tough 8000.
I set my cam on Vivid mode, I only have kit lens with a generic CPL.
Awesome blog. I was delighted to see your guestbook entry in moalboal lodge. Happy travelling!
Thanks Bro

Good morning Lakwatsero!
I would really appreciate it if you would delete the comment made in my behalf on your Go Hotel blog. Somebody has the evil intention of maligning me through your blog and doing her best to ruin my family.

Hi,
I love your website. I posted a link to it on my profile. Congratulations – you are doing a great job showcasing the scenic spots in the Philippines. Being based abroad, I am inclined to promote the Philippines to my colleagues of different nationalities. They love the Philippines but most of them usually just go to Boracay and Cebu… through your website, i hope that they will keep coming back to our country to discover more of its natural beauty. BTW, you take awesome photos! WOW.
Thanks Melan!
Good you are promoting are country! Keep up the good work!
We will be travelling to Boracay (via Manila) this July and are looking for a nice place to stay. I have seen reviews of Dave’s Straw Hat Inn in Boracay. Has anyone stayed there? What did you think of it?
