more sunset

Obviously I just can't get enough of sunset..these were taken in Batangas, Philippines.

Enjoy!

anything, everything, something

Being new to digital photography I practically take picture of whatever catches my eyes, every opportunity that comes across. These are some examples I took while on vacation in the Philippines.

My dive trip in Batangas, Philippines

Batangas is one of the best dive sites. Corals and marine life are spectacular.  Since it is a tropical water donning a wetsuit is optional. We stayed in Eaglepoint Resort in Mabini, Batangas. It is about 2 1/2 hours drive for Makati City. The place is so secluded. All of the cottages and rooms are along the cliff overlooking the sea.

I found Nemo!. This is probably my best shot.

Boracay beach, Philippines

I was so excited to be here. This was my first time to see this beautiful island with pristine white sand...kind of... off white I should say.  Boracay Beach was rated No. 1 in 2007  by Yahoo users. no wonder why... the place is so laid back and yet amenities are modernized  and its true to the saying "anything under the sun" . Fun is endless so is the nightlife. 

Boracay is accessible  via  air from Manila to Kalibo or Caticlan and  another 10 minutes motorized boat from Caticlan port.
