South Beach Sunshine

Going back to this beach in the south. These vibes taking me back many years ago, doing this same thing, finding sunshine in laid back places like Dauin or Bacong.

Afternoon at Agan-an

An afternoon shortly after new year, me and my friends from work took a little trip to the beach, brought some food to cook and enjoyed the sea breeze over bottles of beer and pizza. It was a great time away from the city and forget weddings for a change!

I'm grateful for people who take time to make things happen in short notice and free their time to spend with others to bond and cultivate friendships. Yes we see each other often but it's just different to spend time with them without being constrained by time or how to behave or dress.

Definitely worth doing more often!

The first thing I took a photo of, small fisherman boats on low tide

This is always part of the fun, getting the food ready! Sugba!

Some cats and dogs waiting too!

Some photos by the beach

Golden hour came which called for another photo of the boats! Such beautiful light.

Our simpleng handa! Manga-on ta!

I love this app which makes these film light leak effects. Took some randoms.

Until next time!

Siit for Ourselves

The plan to go to Siit in the municipality of Siaton was one of those that we never really planned but decided to push through since all four of us Jean, Kai and GB were on vacay mood when the year started. We're very thankful for GB's hubby, Ian, who was with us to drive a vehicle to Siit Barangay road, the path going to Antulang. Travel time was about an hour. We parked the car under a young mango tree and started our mini-hike to Turtle Island.

The path we chose was one of two ways you can get to the island. Another way was from a jump of point and you have to cross a short distance of water (about 3 minutes) to get to the other side. Ours didn't require any boat ride. Instead, we walked around to reach the destination.

We surely would have complete our hike in about thirty minutes but since we found a lot of spots to take photos, well, it took us about an hour more or less. The sun was hot but it was fun.

This was the view that greeted us when we started the hike.

A tamarind tree was well-shaped and had a very inviting shade.

A white cow made a nice subject with it.

Most of the path was just flat ground, no elevation. Thank goodness!

We'd occasionally find some flowery trees like this.

Seen in Ilocos { Saud Beach }

On our way back from Pagudpod, we passed by Saud Beach known for its white sand stretching for about two kilometers. We only stayed for a few minutes but we love how it was not crowded and the beach looked very pristine.

Oceanview Siquijor

We occasionally visit the island of Siquijor to photograph weddings. This month, Oceanview was one of our destinations for wedding preps. The beach is wonderful because it's not crowded, plus it has lovely creamy-colored sand and blue waters. I went out one morning and took photos of the waves. My favorites would be the moments when the waves brush against the shore in soft white bubbles.

At the end of the day, we went to Lazi Bay to shoot more photos of the couple. We caught the beautiful sunset and the light was simply delicious that time. The last two photos above show the golden light of sunset. It's really one of the best things that could ever touch your face which you must cherish because it only lasts a few minutes.
