Nangaramoan seaescapade

Contemplating nature in Nangaramoan Beach, Santa Ana, Cagayan... Let these humble photographs speak their innate beauty and silence.

reality bites, and truly, truth hurts

pardon me, but some of these "unlikes" are my same, exact, sentiments. especially that obsession or craze, or desperation, about getting "white," bleaching that tropical face/skin with lots of "whitening wonders."

do you have other "unlikes" about the philippines? funny, but this is fun, more pun in da pilipins.

Gonzaga wandering

Some lonely snapshots in the town of Gonzaga, Cagayan.

Contemplating on the river under a bridge. Water. Calm, not troubled. So, what is there to bridge? (STR [Sirok Ti Rangtay], Wangag River)

Long and winding path by the bank of the serene Wangag River, one sweltering day.

In bridges we trust. So, why are these vehicles seem to try crossing the river by themselves?

Gonzaga ricefields. Green to please the eye.

Cooling Gonzaga one hot February day.

Bygone in Vigan

Just a hitch and muted shots, be gone in Vigan...

Displaced and sentenced to eternal immobility.

Commuted, communed.

Guest relations officers welcome.

Enforced ancientness. 

Thence, from here to modernity.

Confrontation, eye to eye, in silence.
