Muses, the goddesses of my inspiration

This week photo challenge is to illustrate “Muse”, the subject(s) that keep me coming back… My muses are the colors of life, its warm smiles, the love signs I read along the way, like this smile from heaven … I feel inspired to feel we are (too slowly but hopefully surely) setting our society free of persecution and oppression of others. Like this week end, when … Continue reading Muses, the goddesses of my inspiration

Awesome photographers, I need You to help me choose my new camera!

I put the blame totally (but not exclusively) on Lucile and her hyper talented friends from The Rehab Clinic, on Jithin, Amy, Cee, Jeremy, Fabio, Emma, Sylvain and all the awesome photographers of the blogosphere ! It’s all because of you! It’s your fault if I became so obsessed with learning more about photography, and if I am so impatient in finally getting a real camera.

Wishing you all a peaceful week… Continue reading Photo101: A pop of color

As Dry as Bantayan’s famous fishes!

Dry fishes are a typical Filipino delicacy. The best ones are said to come to Bantayan, the bulad/buwad (dried fish) island.

Trying those fishes is a must … Continue reading As Dry as Bantayan’s famous fishes!

You can take the girl out of Paris…

But you can’t take Paris out of the girl! Cebu is hot. Bantayan is already burning hot (35°C last Sunday!) The Attilas play it like the locals: no beach before 4PM, drink lots of water, apply liters of sunscreen from head to toes. In addition, I asked Ms Attila to make sure she covers her head and wears her shades. And that’s what I got (with a couple … Continue reading You can take the girl out of Paris…
