random shots

Its the weekend of everything that flies! After years from my last visit to this event, I have now returned to see Hot-Air Balloons take flight along with other flying objects. I enjoyed it more this time because I did not have any time-bound itinerary to follow and I was there with my special someone.  Oh and it's great to be posting an update on my blog again after so long. How have you all been? Here are more photos from the 20th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta - and some additional captions Now this is an event-adapted promotions material for this fast-food company So can we be endorsers now? I think this shot says it for us! Haha! ALL HAIL THE KING! :) This kid cried because her kite went down. Still waiting for endrosement offers. <wink> Sweet. And of course, to cap our day, we stayed until the evening glowing balloons. 

Weddings are truly "magical" in a lot of ways - not only for the couple but for the people around them. When I see people who are so into their relationship that the wedding seems to be like just a formality for society, my faith in the concept of marriage gets renewed (yes, I am taking time to explain my view in weddings/wedding ceremonies/marriage).  More so, couples who not only love each other but also respect each other along with hard work in maintaining their relationship also earn my respect. "love is not enough" and it truly isn't when considering marriage. That paragraph above stems out from the feel of the photos I am posting in this entry. These are shots during the #kimadox wedding ceremony and receptions. It was a great weekend filled with happiness and high hopes for the married couple, and a great time to catch up with college friends (the very people who kept me "insanely-sane" during college). I didn't give much effort...

I gone to Legazpi City in Bicol a couple of times before without my camera. Stupid me, right? Nah, I was just too keen on traveling light back then. For the third trip of mine, I decided to bring my slr. Unfortunately, Mayon was completely overcast by clouds brought by the monsoon. Maybe a fouth trip would do the trick. In the meantime, here are some of my raw shots during my recent trip to Legazpi City.  

one of the, if not THE most, highlighted event on the month of May in the Philippines is the Flores de Mayo - a month-long celebration in honor of the Virgin Mary. Such an event presents itself as a great opportunity to take photographs and I was aware of it. I tried my best to document the Sagala procession that happens on the culminating day, the last Sunday of May.  These photos were taken in Maragondon, Cavite - my hometown. It was a great run and I enjoyed taking photos. Now, I'm looking forward to doing a similar thing in other events.
