Arlo the Good Lab: Man’s Best friend

January 31, 2017 Leave a Comment

How is it possible to love something or someone entirely, with all of your heart? That question has always been lingering in my mind every time I looked at Arlo.

Arlo is a black Labrador Retriever that I got as a valentine’s gift from Nick. He was 2 months old when I started taking care of him. Arlo is quite jolly and temperamental, not normal for a labrador who is known to be loving and friendly. But anyhow, I love this pooch very much.

Dogs are truly loyal and faithful. They will never betray their human. I grew up with dogs in the family and maybe, that is why I am so in love with them. I even call them cute, no matter what the size is. haha. Arlo has been my crying shoulder and most of all, my happy pill. I can’t imagine how dogs do that but they have the ability to make you smile whenever you feel down. It feels like they sensed it once their human is not happy at all. I guess that is why they are called man’s best friend. It is because of their big heart, their ability to love us unconditionally. Read the full post..

Temple of Leah is one of the newest attraction in Cebu. Why is the temple built?

The temple was built by Teodorico Adarna, a known business tycoon, owner of Queensland Hotels and the grandfather of Filipina actress Ellen Adarna, out of his undying love for his wife Leah Villa-Albino Adarna. Love definitely conquers all. Teodorico’s love for his wife stands by the vow, ’till death do us part’ thus, the 7 stories greek inspired mansion was built last 2012. The temple is not finished yet but it already welcomes visitors. Read the full post..

These beautiful blooms are found in the so-called “Little Amsterdam” located at the Sirao Flower Farm in Barangay Sirao, Cebu. Also, called as the Sinulog Flowers because of its bright colors, the Celosia flowers are now one of the most visited spots in Cebu because of its beauty that will surely make your day as colorful.

If this is not yet on your bucket list, you might as well add this now and make sure to pay a visit. It was quite a drive from JY Square (travel time would be approximately 40-45 minutes). If you don’t have a vehicle, you can hire a habal-habal in JY Square Mall, Lahug. The fare will be around Php200 round-trip. You also have to pay the entrance fee of Php 50 to help maintain the place once you get there. Trust me, you will not mind paying the fee because you can have unlimited pictures that are so Instagram worthy. hahaha. Click here if you want more details on how to go to Sirao.

SOLA – The Girl Who Loves the Sky

January 20, 2017 Leave a Comment

Sola. This is the name of my photography series that features the sky. Sola or Sora is a Japanese term for the sky. It is also the title of one of my favorite Manga series about a boy named Yorito, who loves taking picture of the sky. Just like him, I am in love with the sky just as much as I am in love with travelling and chocolates. The sky’s blue colored vastness and white massive clouds rolling are like heaven in my eyes. It is my most favorite creation in the universe.

My love for the sky is the reason why I started this photography series. I wanted to share to the world the same happiness it has brought to me. Looking at the sky brings me hope to be better and that the world will be better in time. The sky takes me to places I could never imagine and it fills me with such joyful feeling. I see positivity in that tremendous beauty. Every time I feel like having all the weight of the world on my shoulders, I just look up the sky. It speaks to me with encouraging words, crazy as it might be. I simply love how that vastness tries to win over all the negativeness I have encountered in life. Read the full post..
