Wild Daisy in the vegetable paddies of Mt Timbak in Benguet.


Today is a beautiful sunny Day and I am feeling lonely. Unlike before, I have undone a lot of things that I do when I'm in such a mood, like chasing words running in my head and weave them into poetry, or reading a book after another book feeling like a crazed bookworm or just lie in my bed and stare into the ceiling without anything to think about. These mood spells that had once besieged me when I feel isolated from the world had morph into something else and that is Facebook (ing). You read it right, in this day and age of social media revolution I am connected to everyone with facebook and blogging my travel and photography adventures, but I feel more alienated than ever before.

Costume Parade | Valentina Of Darna


Costume Parade | Valentina Of Darna
Costume Portraits



A classic comic super villain created by writer Mars Ravelo with Nestor Redondo as artist. As a kid, I was familiar with the movie versions of Darna and her arch nemesis the Serpent Queen Valentina. She has had many revision, many actress had played the part, but the Medusa look remains the same.

Inspired by Dieties, Elementals and Enchanted beings the "Engcantadia" TV Show became the grandest and most ambitious TV Production on its time in Philippine TV. A lot of characters were drawn out, and Amihan was one of the Four Sanggre's that were present almost all throughout the show as the Guardian of the Jewel of Air.

Costume Parade | Carlo Vergara's Zsazsa Zaturnnah

Costume Portraits



Despite being a hugely popular Super Heroine that spurned out of comics created by Carlo Vergara, I am not really familiar with Zsazsa Zaturnnah aside from information I could easily read off from the Internet. Pardon me, I was a student who cannot afford to buy intertaining materials during it's first release.

Costume Parade | Diwatang Magayon Of "Indio"

Costume Parade



Diwatang Magayon is the Deity of all flying Animals in the GMA TV Show "Indio" and was portrayed by one of the most beautiful Philippine Actress of this age Rhian Ramos. Bedecked with gold and orange colored crystals, sometimes I think the costume were too pageant wise, but it served its purpose of presenting Rhian Ramos as a goddess.

Jabee is one of those conservative Team Leads I know, so it came as a surprise to me that she had doned this costume with gusto. There are about 20 costumes paraded for this event, but I'm only blogging about my favorites and this is one of them.

Life Is My Playground | Up Close With Randolph

Up Close With Randolph


There had been a few times were some of my friends would request that I take their pictures, as always I would gladly indulge especially on clients that I think would be an interesting subject. I had been friends with Randolph or Ralph for several years now; he is an amazing and enigmatic character to boost. And it would take skill to capture that in a photo. He was my photographer before I started into photography, so I am really curios if my current skill would be at par for him.
