It's been a while since I've been there. Tropicana Beach Resort, the usual place where my HS friends would definitely choose. It's June, and I guess it's the most late summer getaway. Since school's not yet starting, we decided to hang out sometime. What else would I do there aside from swimming in the afternoon's tide? Shoot.I only got few shots, and the rest was left for fun.The pile of stones

Nothing beats the boredom I had today. The endless movie marathon, the all-day scheming in the online world, and the endless whine of everybody about the very hot weather.No school means no strollinG, most of all, no allowance for the day. It's getting worse. Nah, definitely, i'm just enjoying the remainder of my summer break, short summer break, or a not-at-all summer break, I guess.Anyway, if

First and foremost, before starting this Samal post, apologies for my blog readers and subscribers for not blogging on almost a month. Summer class is over and I got the chance to grab this very late summer getaway.I spent the whole weekend dazzling around the upper part of Southern coast, Davao specifically, and thinking of a better getaway other than staying late at Davao's famous coffee

May 1 - everyone is having a day off, every worker, and a chance for students to add another day of boredom. Some may be bored with the fact that this day would be spent inside the house. Rainy days are fast approaching again. Those cold May mornings with heavy downfall of rain. Staying inside the house could be haggard, but somehow productive. I never even thought that this day would productive

Since my summer is full of homework, and stuffs from school, my brain is all dried up. A feeling of being played with the south and west wind.School days are too far gone in this summer season. Now I got a literally dry summer. Except from the fact that I get to see my damn cracking friends everyday, but i'm almost snapped out. I know, it's a usual thing for a student, and I must enjoy it.So,

Last Saturday, I had a good grip with N95. It's 5-megapixel close up shooting mode is bad as I have thought. Basically, N95 is good for shooting foods, and close up images. Here are some of my shots (not to mention, all of them are not foods) using N95:Left: A glass of wine, while capturing it's glare coming from the light behind.Right: Close-up shot of the iPod. Is the boredom really obvious?

Summer days are over for a frustrated student like me. Those afternoon strollings and sleepless nights are ending up, unfortunately. Nothing beat those old yogurt nights and a tiring movie marathon. Those are the things I usually do during that short summer break, and now, seems like a snap of an eye, i'm back to school. For a freshman-turning-sophomore, I know i'm not used to it, but one thing's

March 28,2009 is a day that would once again mark the history, in which people unite for one goal: to temporarily cut off the electricity and turn off all the lights to reduce the negative effect on Earth.This time, it's our turn to participate. All the Generals would be actively supporting this special event. The local government of General Santos City is participating for the first time with

Manneken Pis is a dutch word for Little Peeing Man, and commonly known in French as Petit Julien. Basically, it is a sculpture depicting a small boy with an act of urinating into a fountain's basin.There are so many Mannekin Pis around the world, but one thing is for sure, the most famous would definitely belong to Belgium's Rue de l'Étuve & Eikstraat, which is 61 cm, and contains a wardrobe

Gensan is indeed full of surprise. The visit of a great songwriter and composer David Pomeranz last February 14 proves the possibility that the city can hold events not just local artists but also to those who are international performers.April is the best month to showcase another talent, but this time, it would be the scene of the local artists. This time, it's not feeding our eardrums with

Everytime I hear the school bell ringing just below the floor we used to stay in, I never get tired thinking about the fact that school year is at it's peek and at least i'll get or should we say, I deserved a break after the tiring pressures of having a college life. My freshman year is ending, and seems like I was living the first day just yesterday. So many great thing happened, plus, a dose

It's been a while since I posted photos related to my hobby photography. Since I only got a Canon EOS 750QD circa 90s, and a cheap digicam, I've been limited into short range shooting, and pale color output, I basically use Adobe Photoshop, just to acquire my desired image contrast. One thing I usually do is to adjust the curves and levels of the photo to pop the image out, or the other way

Plurk has been dominant here in Gensan. It's been a useful source of latest information about the online and offline world in real time. For bloggers like us, it's been a source of upcoming blogger meet-ups. This time, I finally attended the 2nd Plurkfiesta which was finally pushed through with the initiative of Sir Avel of Gensan News Online Magazine.The second Plurkfiesta of SOCCSKSARGEN

Recently, my mother and my little brother spent their meal in McDonald's and their value meal is a lot better than their past promos. Spiderman replicas are sold along with a value meal. This time, little brother got grasp on this chibi Venom model. Although it's not that detailed, I got an eye on it, and I think it was the best toy coming from McDonald's yet.

The lights on every corner are brightly gazing in everyone's ecstatic face, while guiding myself into the aisle in between the rows of the uniform-colored chair. It's 14th of Feburuary and every couple inside that event hall would definitely marked that day as a history. After finding a comfortable yet suitable sit near the stage, I excitedly took a glimpse on everyone, making up the familiar

By the time the 14th day of February 2009 arrive, I know i'm still loveless, I'm not desperate though, but I guess this will be my best valentine season yet.
