Lovers

The SM Mall of Asia bay area really attracts all kinds of people, especially during sunset. My sister said we might not be able to see the sun disappear on the horizon, so while the sun was still preparing to set, I already took some pictures. I recalled sets of pictures from friends / online buddies who took pictures of the sunset from here featuring silhouettes of people sitting by the wall, so I tried the same aspect as well. There were lots of people taking pictures of the sunset, so no one would really suspect that the photographers were already taking pictures of them. Well, it was a silhouette, so I guess it's okay.

EK Fireworks

I rarely put up night shots here in Sky Watch because obviously, the sky is black, and if there's a full moon or something in the sky, it would be difficult for me to photograph it because I am using a point and shoot camera.

But for this week, I will go with night shots. Taken in Enchanted Kingdom, the biggest and the most beautiful theme park in the Philippines, the park always cap off the day with a great fireworks display. I don't know why people just loves fireworks. I guess we're so used in seeing a dark sky every night that a sight of something colorful makes us happy and optimistic.

Cell Site

Taken last March while walking home. I love the look of the clouds providing nice background for the cell site, and since I always bring my camera even though I am just walking in the neighborhood (I was in La Union the day I shot this), I see no reason why I shouldn't take a picture of it. I only took one shot, and I think I put the cell site way off to the right, but I hope this picture is still appreciated. =)

Happy weekends!

Rays

While traveling back home from the out of town trip with family and close neighbors, my sister said that the sun rays looked great. I peeked by the vehicle's window and saw its beauty, too, so I took out my camera and took some shots. The first two ones looked awful as the vehicle was moving, but I think I captured a good one on my third try.

This was taken along the town of Pandi in the province of Bulacan.

ps - Would like to inform that I will be MIA (missing in action) for four days... my brother and I will be traveling to our paternal hometown and will go on a side trip to Ilocos Sur before heading home. Aunt Julie said we will be saying some prayer intentions for all the departed loved ones, so we have to be there.

My proposed schedule:

22 May (Friday) - Travel to La Union at 10AM; watching the sunset at Paratong Beach
23 May (Saturday) - Stay at home, help with the preparations
24 May (Sunday) - Hear mass in San Juan church; go to San Fernando City come lunch time - visit Thunderbird Resort in Poro Point, then to the provincial capitol for another sunset watch by the Phil-Chinese Friendship Pagoda.
25 May (Monday) - Travel to Candon, Ilocos Sur first thing in the morning then travel to Vigan City soon after. Will stay in Vigan and travel back home at 9:30PM.

Will resume with my regular blogging come Tuesday morning.

Bird's Eye View

Last Sunday, I was one of the lucky bloggers who took part of the Magikalympics in Enchanted Kingdom. It was such a great day to bond with 49 other bloggers here in the Philippines, and greater because our team won the Magikalympics.

After the games, we had some free time to roam around the park, and I rode on the Wheel of Fate (Ferris Wheel) and took some pictures once I reach the top. I really liked the Ferris Wheel, I think I rode it three times! =)

Harbor Square

A picture I took along the marina in Harbor Square last April. Before going to the festival grounds for the Aliwan Fiesta, my brother and I met up with our photoblogging friends for a lunch. We took some group pictures before leaving the Harbor Square, so I also took some pictures of the marina. It was a great looking sunny day that lunchtime, yet rains poured towards the night. Still, it was a great fiesta and we really had fun.

Sky High

A picture I took nearly midnight last Friday. I met up with new friends I got to know from an online forum, and after eating late dinner, we all went to Metrowalk, a place lined with restobars. At the center of Metrowalk was a place for people who would prefer to just hang outside, and that's where we stayed at. While waiting for the bucket of beer, I looked up the sky and saw this building.

I set the ISO of my camera to 3200 because if I don't, this whole image will be just black. It's a very noisy image, but I like it. Slightly monochrome.. but not really, as there were blue lights in the building.

After just 5 minutes of taking this picture, the rain fell...hard. Good thing there was a space for us inside the restobar where we stayed until around past 2AM.
