I saw this post on Facebook from Planet Naga about four months ago. I had been too busy though to post it on my blog (or post anything actually). Today I am taking the time to share these beautiful photos. Much thanks for all these.
Pre-war Bicol. Bicol Region is known as one of the strongest bulwarks of the Catholic Faith since Hispanic times. In fact, during its inception, the prelate of Manila was under the Diocese of the Nueva Caceres. in This album, we shall explore the different Catholic churches all over the region, their different architectures and physical structure before war invaded Bicol in 1942.

I have been raring to go to Bagasbas Beach in Camarines Norte, about 115 kilometers away from Pili and more or less two hours drive by car, for quite some time that when H came over, fresh from his business trip from Germany, we made it a point to go, with the little one in tow, of course.
The plan was to leave Pili very early so we’ll arrive in Bagasbas early morning for some breakfast, a bit of surfing in the morning, a little nap after lunch and some surfing in the afternoon before going back home to my dad’s house.
Total Gas Station and Ford Dealership. Avenue Square is right across the street.
I have never been a morning person and we needed to get new papers from the Ford dealership because the car’s registration plate has not arrived yet and we needed a jack for my phone and the car’s stereo, and so, we arrived in Bagasbas at two o’clock in the afternoon. We headed straight to Leo’s Cuisine – our favorite place to eat in Bagasbas Boulevard because of the delicious food and the view.

Another one of those late travel posts that I am trying to catch up on. This was a trip made in April 2010, made possible by the Travel Factor.
My Nikon D80 died at the Gijalo Port in Caramoan, Camarines Sur in the trip I made in February. My trip to Malapascua, Cebu was thereafter documented using a point-and-shoot Canon SX120. I used the 18-135mm kit lens from my D80 and borrowed my sister’s Nikon D40 for this trip to Calaguas.
I did not notice that the body had molds in it until after all my trips were done. I also used this camera on my trip to El Nido a few days alter. I actually have hundreds of ruined photos.
I wanted to document local life. This girl tends a little sari-sari store perhaps a few meters away from their house. This little store makes a little money off the travelers/tourists that take the boat in the port of Vinzons to Calaguas Islands.
