Meet My New Pets, Arya and Lucas

Two weeks ago, me and my buddies bought puppies from our colleague at Villaba, Leyte. The puppies parents are a Labrador and a Goldador (cross of Labrador and Golden Retriever). I bought one male and one female and named Lucas and Arya, respectively. Lucas was named by my girlfriend and I named the female Arya because Arya Stark is one of my favorite character in Game of Thrones. So, right now, you will all be probably seeing a lot of posts about my puppies since I am fond of taking photos of them both. Here are some of the photos I took.

This is Arya, very very playful

Lucas who is always tired and just want to lie down

Another shot of Lucas, resting but he's also very playful.

Whale Shark Watching at Oslob, Cebu

One of the fun activities you can do when visiting Cebu is the Whale Shark Watching at Oslob, Cebu. Whale Shark are the gentle giants that resides in tropical waters like the Philippines. Luckily, we have this chance of watching over them here in the Philippines. The Whale Sharks of Oslob are protected by the Local Government Unit and are permanently monitored by the Oslob Bantay Dagat. I and my family was able to visit the place last weekend and good thing the weather was cooperative. When going to Oslob, you can ride a bus from Cebu South Bus Terminal and should depart early because Whale Shark Watching is only open until 12:30p.m. I am not certain how much the fair is because we rented a car going to Oslob.  For the local tourists, Whale Shark watching will cost you P500 and P1000 for foreign tourist. Some rules that needs to be followed when watching is to avoid touching the whale sharks, maintain 4 meters distance from them, no applying of sunblock/sunscreen when swimming, no flash photography and no riding. Here are some of the photos I took during our Whale Shark Watching experience.

Dragonfly Close-up Shot

I just thought this picture is worth sharing with. The dragonfly was so kind enough to cooperate with me during his photoshoot. When I took this photo, I was not really happy about it at first because the flash filled in. I forgot to turn off the flash and also I thought it’s no use because I have all the light I need from the sun. Luckily, everything went fine when I viewed the result. I hope you guys will like it.a

I took this shot at a farm owned by the family. I really had a hard time taking this shot because both of them were moving. I think this one is the best shot on this set. ☺
