Nagsasa Zambales Part 1


4am | December 22, 2012 we boarded the Victory Liner in Cubao Metro Manila going to San Antonio Zambales to spend the weekend in Nagsasa - a faraway cove from the outskirts of Mt. Pundaquit. Originally, we should be going to Anawangin cove but because of my friend insisted that it's so commercialized, we ended up boating further going to this place:



I love the ever changing shades of the mountains, from one side, it's turning orange, from another, it's lush green - it depends on the wrapping clouds from above.





Enormous vista on picturesque of  open skies
Enclosed in towering two mountains of symmetry
A gorgeous panorama of a coved sea  with calming waters
Feasted the eyes, gorged by soul and left wonder to the heart

Creations, of nature's beauty
Of purity in aesthetic, of soothing artistic prowess
Makes one's heart to die of contentment





Yes, the sands. the heaps of mountains so close to the beachfront. the pine trees, you can smell the sweet, tingling aroma. the waves and waters gleaming from your eyes. the beach, as if we're the only souls occupying it. Yeah, i'm loving it!!!!




More images to upload, including my "daring" pictorials... LOL, Gotta grab some more shut-eye. The one night stay camping is totally "biten".

Ditch Instagram, Welcome Flickr

Good old days never fail to bring back memories. Back in the days when Flickr was the king of photo hosting (web based), it appears that it's going to take over Instagram's throne currently as the biggest player in photography social networking (mobile & web based).

Due Instagram's recently changed "user agreement" where it defies the user the liberty to allow or not allow Instagram in using images on the company's prerogative. Bottom line is, Instagram is owning their users pictures and can manipulate it whatever they want (like displaying in ads, selling them, etc) without prior consent to an Instagram member.

That in mind, I'm letting go of my Instagram account (though i was a member since 2010) and will not touch it until the User Agreement has changed to a more sane and fair guidelines.

Let's welcome Flickr in the scene. Just got the free Flickr app from the app store and I was awestruck by its minimalist style- The white backdrop and intuitive buttons, the plethora of options and the better options to filter and edit your photos as compared to Instagram app.

Most of you must have your yahoo account so I used mine and surprise got me that I have 2 existing photos that was set to private.

This is another PLUS for flicker it lets you set privacy options for every image you upload.

You can also create albums via SETs, and the lightning speed connect to post via twitter, Facebook and other social networks.

I recommend that you install Flickr on your iDevice and keep those shutters flicking!!!
