Bantayan Island Nature Park and Resort: Its Soothing Wilderness

Because there is always a place that never leaves your head until you touch it, smell it, taste it. And that's how I exactly feel for Bantayan Island Nature Park and Resort. Its cave pool—the main attraction of the resort—reminds me of Camotes' Timubo Cave—only deeper, wider, and wider entrance. The water is brackish and its depth can reach up to 8 feet during high tide. With the two lights, "the place looks mysterious," as P put it.

My Surigao in Pictures: My First Solo Trip in Mindanao

Rice farmer. I dreamed of being a rice farmer's daughter instead of the proudly ambiguous farmer and fisherman's daughter. I dreamed of having a bahay kubo in the middle of rice paddies running for miles.

I spotted her uprooting rice seedlings on my way to Bislig Falls and asked Chemuel, the habal-habal driver, to drop by later because I dreamed of taking a picture of a rice farmer because the image of ang-magtanim-ay di-biro painting, Amorsolo's, lingered in my head since third grade.

Shooting Cuteness Called Japanese Kids

To children, the world and everything in it is new, something that gives rise to astonishment. It is not like that for adults. Most adults accept the world as a matter of course. This is precisely where philosophers are a notable exception. Philosophers and small children thus have an important faculty in common. The only thing we require to be good philosophers is the faculty of wonder.—Jostein Gaarder, Sophie's World

I had the privilege to shoot these cute Japanese kids. I asked permission from my client (persuaded actually) to post some images of the kids. Shooting them didn't feel like work. Do you need a photographer? Do you love the way I shoot? Then consider hiring me. Click here. :-)
