The Chocolate Hills of Bohol

Normally, I'd pair my Green Monday post with Mellow Yellow Monday, and I would pair Red Hot Mondays and Ruby Tuesday with Orange Tuesdays, but when I took this picture, I knew I had to pair Green with Red. :)

By the time we reached Chocolate Hills, my camera's battery was already about to die. It was a bad decision for me to go on a city tour with 25% battery juice and taking only 1 pair of spare batteries, which I still haven't tasted how long its power would take. Thankfully, my cell phone was fully charged by the start of the day, ensuring me that I could still take pictures to my heart's delight.

I was able to take pictures of the hills, but some pictures - including this one, was taken using my cell phone. Taking the stairs to the peak, I saw this group of hills with reddish plant on the foreground, and thinking it looked cute, I stopped for a picture.

There are so many legends as to how the hills were formed, but one thing's for sure: this nature's wonder is proudly Filipino! :)

A Wasp, Maybe?

Like what I shared on my other blog, this yellow flowering plant was something I took while vacationing in Cebu. After taking several pictures of the bee, I was able to see this critter - which I think is a wasp (correct me if I am wrong).

Ain't it cute? The flowers were yellow... and the critter had a hint of yellow, too! :)

Eastwood City

Weekends are my lazy days, but since I cannot play the Sims on our old desktop PC, I can blog today. Purple is a favorite color of mine (as well as pink), so when I found about this color meme, I already wanted to join, but it was just now that I was able to join.




I don't have that much purple pictures, so for this post, am sharing to you two images I took at Eastwood City (Libis) a year ago. It was my first time to see a dancing fountain, but now that there's one at the QC Memorial Circle, I don't feel the need to go to Eastwood anymore.

...but of course, doing food trips there is a different story.

Pink Star-like Flower

Transferring the August 2011 pictures made me realize I am way, way behind my uploads in my Facebook page. I am now trying my best to upload as much pictures as I can so I can finally catch up.

Anyway, while uploading July 2010 pictures, I saw this picture and thought it would be perfect for Pink Fridays. I don't know the name of the flower, but every time I see one, I just can't stop myself from taking a picture of it.

The time I took this, the rain just stopped... it was already dusk, so I turned on the flash of my camera to take this picture. I just love how my old camera captures night macro.

Brown Candle

Hello again, I am back! I've been away for almost a week - traveling to Cebu and Bohol, and although I enjoyed the six days vacation, it was really comforting knowing I am now home.


while in Cebu, we stayed at the house of Tita Fe's sister Tita Zeny (Tita Zeny is one of mom's colleagues), and since we basically have just one full day in Cebu (we arrived late night on 25 Aug, we crossed over Bohol morning of 27 Aug), we took this time to check places. I already traveled to Cebu in 2009 and was able to visit quite a lot of places, but what made this trip really, really special was that we were able to visit the church of Birhen sa Simala - Lindogon, approximately 2 hours away from Cebu City. In 2009, I was able to first see the image of Birhen sa Simala - Lidogon when it was transported from her home to Cebu Cathedral, and on this day I was able to see her own home. It was a very touching moment for me, and I cannot explain, but there was some kind of connection between us, of which I am most thankful.

This was one of the many many candles lit located at the side of the church. I, too, lit a candle, but my candle's fire was quite big (I can't move my camera near), so I decided to just take a picture of one of the much smaller candles.
