My 7 Super Shots | Best of Travel Photos

Super late I know, but here's my version of 7 Super Shots. Thanks to those who tagged me. ^_^

...takes my breathe away

Fireworks never fail to fascinate me. Every year, I would brave the crowd just to witness the pyromusical competition at SM Mall of Asia. It's always a breathtaking moment whenever these fireworks are up on the air. |It's nothing but magic.


...makes me smile
Siargao is full of surprises. What I have in mind were to surf and of course swim with the stingless jellyfish in Bucas Grande. I didn't expect that I would also have a taste of their paradise beaches. Im just so happy to be there.

...makes me dream

Having watched the Masskara Festival upclose, I've felt a deep appreciation on how the locals take pride for being one of the participants of their much awaited street dancing competition. Their dedication is priceless. It's not about the prize, but the pride. Im dreaming to be part of a grand festival as well. San pwede mag-audition? ^_^

...makes me think

Whenever I travel outside the country, I always make it a point to visit the temples. Im just very interested to know more about their religious beliefs. This photo was taken in a Hindu Temple in Singapore. These Hindu gods and deities never fail to make me ask a lot more of questions. I cant help but be amazed with how their gods and goddesses look like.

...makes my mouth water

Im a fan of hotel buffets, and I always indulge with seafood delights. My favorites are grilled and barbecued styles. Edsa Shangri-La's HEAT offers the best versions. Thumbs up!

...tells a story

It's an ordinary summer day in Calaguas. Come night time, the rain started to pour hard and the waves showed its mightiest. My body was soaked in the rain and I have to endure the cold wind at the same time. I was praying and praying for the rain to stop. I really thought Im going to die. Hallejuah, the hysteria ended. I feel so blessed for experiencing another not-so-smooth adventure.

...im proud of

Taken at Esplanade, Singapore - this shot is simply made of luck. Not sure why Im proud of this shot, I just think this one's mesmerizing. That's all.

anyway, have you watched Hannah and I's Bicol adventure? If not, here's PHL360's Episode 5:

Market Cafe Buffet at Hyatt Hotel

They say beauty is only skin deep, and the world is full of thin skinned people.
..but I just cant find those thin people anymore. Everyone's getting fat, including me. ^_^

6. Seven Corners at Crowne Plaza
5. Basix and Crossover at Dusit Thani Manila
4. Cafe Ilang-Ilang at Manila Hotel
3. HEAT at Edsa Shangri-la
2. Marriot Cafe at Marriot Manila

Here's a promising addition to the list. Thanks to Deal Grocer for this discounted Market Cafe Buffet vouchers. For P990, this is one of the best yet reasonably priced hotel buffets I've tried. This Hyatt buffet will surely make me rearrange my best buffet list.

Meet my Underwater Camera, Hype

ola, may blog pala ako. hihi
im sooo busy with my new work. cant even open my blog and bloghop. sorry. and for the record, i got this camera 2 weeks ago but i still dont have the time to explore it. haha ako na walang time.


This is the one thing I should have bought a long time ago. Water is my element and it will always be the highlight of my every trip. It's just a mortal sin not to capture the moment of the underwater world. I could go on and list down more reasons so I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have my own underwater camera.

meet Hype, my Canon D20 underwater camera

You know Im biased and I'm born Canon-ista. The moment I heard about Canon's releasing its latest underwater camera called D20, I wasted no time and ordered it from Amazon. I knew it's my must-have. I have always been delighted with the captures of Canon D10, that's why I never hesitated to have it. Actually Im more excited to have this latest version of Canon's underwater camera.

katas ng retrenchment #2
may camera nga ako, wala naman akong travel. haha!

As I said, I still dont have time to explore its feature and I haven't really tried it yet. But in time, I will. And I will be proud to share the photos from Hype. (at kelan naman kaya yun?! haha)

Anyway, Hype is not for rent - but for my friends (Remay, Maricar, Leidy, Kat) you know Im very grateful for entrusting me your precious cameras, so yes you may borrow Hype in return. ;)
