Mactan Bridge I

I have a friend from Davao who is currently working here in Cebu. We met once because I'd like to show him my new toy and also, to ask some advice from him about the basics of photography. His name is Raymund or others call him Bon, owner of RabPhotography. Raymund is a good friend of mine way back in Davao and he taught me a lot of things when it comes to computer, photography and other stuff. I asked him once if where are the good spots here in Cebu to take pictures, he advised me to try the Mactan Bridge. I went to Mactan Bridge and took some shots of it. The image above has been cropped to remove some unnecessary objects in the picture. This is the Mactan Bridge I and I never thought that Mactan Bridge II is way better than the I. Mactan Bridge II has a park beside it when I cross it on my way to Naval. Well, next time I'll try to go there and take some shot of the Mactan Bridge II.

Sto Nino Cathedral Tower

This is the Sto Nino Cathedral Tower or the Basilica Del Sto. Nino in Cebu City.

Pizza Stand

We were eating at Don Henrico's one afternoon to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. I got frustrated in taking a picture of this pizza stand and fortunately, I found one good angle and I hope you all like it. :)

Macro Wild Grass

This macro shot here was taken in a mountain resort in Boso-Boso, Antipolo, Rizal Province. I bought a lens for my mobile phone and one of them is a lens for macro. Playing with that lens resulted me this picture.

Street Lamp at MOA

This street lamp was taken at the back of Mall Of Asia. It was one tiring afternoon when I decided to go to MOA to unwind. I went there all by myself and carried my phone with me, as always. The thing that I like the most in MOA is the view at the back. There's like a park and playgrounds for kids. During night time, bars are starting to cater people. I used my phone when I took this photo, the noise are so visible. Tsk tsk.

Lily from Mall of Asia

I took this shot somewhere inside the Mall of Asia. I was with my cousin coz I accompanied here because she's buying some stuff for her vacation in Manila. We pass through this flower shop at the ground floor of MOA and I was looking at it to check if there's something that I could buy for my girlfriend. The flowers are beautiful and lovely. I took pictures of it and this one is my favorite. I liked it so much because of its color. I like the color white. Most of my shirts are white. Aside from the color, I also like the flower itself. My cousin said that its a lily. I don't know if it is indeed from a lily. I don't care, I just like it.

Mirrored vase

I was applying for a job last year and while waiting at the recruitment area, I saw this flower base sitting at the top of a glass table. The vase's reflection at the table was so clear so I decided to take a snap of it using my phone. When I checked the result, it was so cool because the glass seems to be disappearing. I just hope they won't sue me for taking picture inside their lobby. If they do, I don't know what to do! Haha. Anyway, back in the picture, I know the color is dull but I simply like it. I am also practicing the Rule of Thirds here and I hope I made it right. The noise are again visible but I think that's the disadvantage of using a mobile phone. I still need to practice more and learn a lot in the Photography field.

Figure Angels

I got this shot from our ancestral house in Naval, Biliran province. I was playing with my cousin's point-and-shoot camera and took this photo. Was really amazed by the colors of the figurins so I shoot it.

Hotel Lamp

After we our visit to Divisoria, me and my cousin went to the hotel where she and her mom is checked in. I still have a shift that night so I decided to just take a nap at the hotel. I don't have any problems with the clothes because I bought a shirt from Divisoria because I wasn't really planning to go home that day. Inside the hotel room was this lamp. The lamp was so simple but illegant. I don't really know how to take a picture of it until I come up of an idea of taking just the hole of the lamp. I liked the result and I was happy with it. My friends can't really figure out where I took this image. I hope ya'll like this simple shot by me.

Divisoria Today

Divisoria is one of the famous places in Manila. It is one of the busiest commercial area in the Metro. People goes to Divisoria because they are selling cheap items compared to those items you see in the mall. Of course, the problem is that all the items being sold here are immitations. The quality that you get is equal to the amount that you paid for an item that you buy. Divisoria is also known to be the den of thieves. This is one major problem when you shop at Divisoria. You will have to take care of your belongings because even earrings are being grabbed in your ears. I think the Government of Manila must do something about it. They should double the security in Divisoria because people continue to patronize the products sold here. The more people visit Divisoria, the more thieves will be present in the area. 

Before, when I first visit divisoria, the place was so crowded the it is really hard for you to walk in the middle of the street or even at the sidewalk. The stalls are being placed in the middle of the streets that's why when I visit it again with my cousin last month, there was really a big difference. The jeepneys can pass through the C.M. Recto street now and stalls are being placed on the sidewalk. The place is not too crowded anymore but I think it is only seasonal. It is more busier during Christmas Season and during School Season.
