Repost: 1st Sunset PhotoShoot– Diplomat Hotel Baguio City

 

-Been a long time since my last post, I just sold my 2 cameras a few weeks back for a much needed “something”. I hope to get a new one anytime soon…

Reposting some of shots that can no longer be viewed here due to some errors…

--November 2, 2011 was a tiring day. I worked on lotsa stuff at work, and stayed there until 3:34PM local time. When I took of from the office, I texted my friend and asked if Diplomat Hotel is open. He said it is, and mentioned that he can go with me if I wanna take some pictures. And, so, it began…

This was taken at 5:06 PM. We just arrived at the place and I was overwhelmed by the scenery.

It was drizzling when we got to the rooftop of the hotel. Thought it was going to rain hard. I felt really bad, thinking that the effort was wasted.

A few minutes passed, and the sun started showing it’s beauty! – but of course, with the help of all the elements there, from the clouds, mountains, trees and other stuff.

2

We were running like kids, my friend is really a photo enthusiast, and I was like “WOW” – this is really awesome! Just started getting into photography and I never thought this is going to be the feeling you’ll get when you get to love it.

3

This was taken at the back of the record breaking “Guinness World’s Tallest Ten Commandments” inside the diplomat compound. – one of my favorite shots.

4

Funny thing was, I have lived near this area, but never really got the chance to visit it. And, my friend was like “REALLY?” – by the way, he mentioned this was the first time he got to see this kind of sunset from this area.

5

We enjoyed the “almost-a-30-minute-show” of pure beauty! Thank GOD for this! This was one of those days that made me realize = “never ever take anything for granted”.

My friend suggested to take my picture at the cross – I loved the idea! To my friend Emil, Thank you!

Birthday on a Year of the Dragon

 

January 09 is my birthday… and this year, I planned to really spend it to places that I failed to explore from the past. Mga lugar na napakalapit lang naman sa Baguio pero hindi ko pa nararating. These are the places I went to for my Birthday Week:

Note though: This POST has the MOST number of pictures ever. =]


January 07: Green Valley Baguio City

After work, napagkatuwaan lang naming mgpunta ng Green Valley with some of my buddies. It was just so cold – a bit creepy because of the fog, but yeah, it was worth it:

A view from the view deck, you’d see a “MICKEY MOUSE EARS” on top of the mountain – Santo Tomas Radar:

January 08 – 09: Sunset Bay San Fernando La Union

I heard a lot of good stuff about this resort, one of which was that they have a “White Sand Beach”. Now, since Boracay is not feasible yet, we went there to check it out. I wias able to enjoy the place and was able to ride a boat for the first time. Not really sure if the sand is really white, but I think it is, ‘di ko naman nakikita Boracay eh, hehehe!
