February 25 to 28 when a team of five – me including 4 of my friends and office mates flocked at NAIA 3 to fly to one of Philippines’ premier summer getaways – Coron, Palawan.

The first week of April 2011 was the best schedule to pick in the year since it is when we celebrate the annual Feast of Saint Vincent Ferrer. Highlights of the week includes a local beauty pageant which started ... Read more

Guess where? You’re right! Manila Bay. I don’t think this is a paparazzi thing. It is not my intention to capture part of their heads and shoulders, its just that, they were on the way of my good sight of the sunset. Photo taken using iTouch’s cracked CP Pro+ App. Lovers by the Sunset
