Imagine that deep blue sky, the white cotton clouds, the beach with the powder-fine sand, a lazy late-afternoon walk along the beach lines–miles away from the busy life in Makati.
It could only be perfect!

Flip-Flops in the Sand
Two pairs of flip-flops (and Havaianas at that) lying around the sands above the beautiful waters of Puka Beach in Boracay.

Travelogue Series: Coron, Palawan
What made this trip more fun, beside the photo op, was that I was in the company of 16. Just imagine the constant laughter throughout the duration of the tour.
The tour package for a group this size with Coron Village Lodge amounted to P4,400 each person inclusive of meals, snacks, boat rentals, entrance fees, tour guides and transportation (including airport van transfer).
Lou Franz Beach Resort, Tigbauan, Iloilo
If you’re looking for a beach resort along the coast line in the southern part of Iloilo, Lou Franz Beach Resort is definitely worth a try. It’s situated in Brgy. Barroc, Tigbauan, Iloilo, so it’s very much accessible if you’re looking for a resort somewhere in the vicinity of the towns of Oton, Tigbauan, Guimbal, or Miag-ao, for family or barkada gatherings and/or events.
Amenities in the resort include pingpong table, videoke, etc.
I’m not particular with the rates yet, but for anyone interested, do drop a line in the comments below and together we’ll know the details.
More pictures will be posted over at the Deuts.NET Gallery soon.

Back to Back: Surigao and Palawan
Got to visit Surigao and Palawan recently for a business trip. To make good on my promise, I brought prime lenses only in those two places: the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM and its younger brother, the Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM lenses.
Visit my flickr account for more pictures.
Seen Only in Surigao
Or maybe, at least, so far, I only get to see this in Surigao.
It’s like a motorcycle with wings. Its wings from both sides are designed to hold passengers. In Surigao, these are usually employed in order to get to the mountains where no passenger jeepneys can go. Locals say it can hold up to 10 passengers in one trip, depending on the size/weight of each passenger.
The Road Not Taken
The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Oftentimes in our lives we were confronted with two roads ahead of us, but did we really make the wise decisions?

Tigbauan and the Feast of Sto. Niño
Yeah I know, I almost forgot it until Franz in his comment reminded me today.
Anyway, on Sunday, the 21st of January 2007, Tigbaun, Iloilo will be celebrating the feast of Sr. Sto. Niño. You are invited to come to our house, which is at Tupan St., Barangay 3. Lunch will be served at around 12 noon. Just look for me there! Bwehehehe.
Or if you want, you can come to Franz’ house at Leonardia St. Barangay 9, Tigbauan Iloilo! (LOL!)
