island mouse

Because I live in Paradise, I have a tendency to take it for granted... until I have my film developed and see the pictures that I took months ago.

Somewhere in Angol

The mainland of Panay

I must have done something good in a previous life.

We were in Tagaytay this past May to celebrate Ma's birthday. I brought along my Vivitar film camera.

Taal Vista Hotel

The Nephew

The Parents

A good time was had by all.

My Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim pictures came!

Because film developing is kind of expensive, I have to wait until I have five rolls of film before I bring them to Digiprint. They develop the film, scan, and save the JPEG files on a CD. Then, they deliver anywhere in the country that there's an LBC. It's cheap, fast and very, very convenient.

The only problem is, by the time I have accumulated five rolls, I'd already forgotten what was on the first roll of film. Oh well.

Shangri-la Plaza Mall

Ortigas Flyover

North EDSA

Amistad Spa

Film still rocks!

my backyard 2

This is the view from our backyard, yesterday at sunset.

Click to enlarge.

The sea was the color of red wine. No kidding.

I've just heard that the Canon G11 is available now. Its major differences from the G10? The new guy is 10.0 megapixels and it has a 28mm wide-angle lens. Does that sound familiar?

Canon, you can try to imitate my Lumix LX3, but you will never have a Leica lens. Haha!

a walk in the clouds

When you fly, do you still bother to look out the window? Or do you just pull down the shades and read your magazine?


Yez, sometimes it's scary to look out. But there are also times when you see slices of heaven.

Flying from Manila to Kalibo.
