Barya Sa Kung Saan-Saan

 

Minsang sumakay ako sa jeep: “’Nong, bayad, short trip” then inabot ko ung nine pesos. After a few minutes, tinanong ko ung sukli ko na singkwenta sentimos, taz ung driver was mumbling something and all I heard was “para singkwenta lang”. Of course, on a good day with a good mood – I may have given it up and just drop it, but not this day, talagang kinuha ko ung sukli kong BARYA…

I guess nowadays we are taking our “Barya (coins)” for granted. We should always realize that coins earned will always make up a bigger picture. It’s a hard earned cash – sweat and blood – but yeah, maybe over acting about it – hehehe!

Shots I took – Coins From Everywhere:

Coins left on divider sill. Had the opportunity to take some US coins when I went there for a business trip. Tanong ko lang, kelan kaya mas tataas ang antas ng PISO sa DOLYAR – hehehe!

Kahit sa pag iikot lang sa bahay, napakarami ng mga barya ang matatagpuan. TAnong ko lang – yayaman kaya ako pag inipon ko lahat ng ito?

Shots Out Of Nowhere Version 2

 

I love taking pictures, though there are times that I get frustrated when I don’t get the results that I want. Thing is, “nakakatuwa siya” – it eradicates the stress I get from work, taz’ the feeling I get knowing that I captured a moment there, simply amazing!

 


December 08, 2011, 0630PM, Baguio Burnham Park: Was about to go home, when I saw all the lights turned on along Burnham Park – which is just  few meters away from our “paradahan ng Jeep”.

Lantern Parade–Melvin Jones Baguio City

 

December 03, 2011, 0700PM: There were a lot of people walking around, there was a heavy traffic as well – we just arrived in Baguio coming from a long trip. Then we saw this line of lights – (though I’m not really sure what it was – did not have my glasses on), we move closer and luckily the event was not done yet – was not able to move close enough in the stadium for me to get better pics, but still, I enjoyed it…
