Ever since the local government of Pili, Camarines Sur implemented the no-public-buses-passing-through-the-main-road-of-the-town-proper-from-8am-til-6pm-from-Mondays-through-Fridays ordinance, I have been re-acquainting myself with the road that goes to the baranggays of La Purisima and Curry, while on my way to catch the bus to Naga at the Pili Diversion Road.
One after-drizzle afternoon, while Lia and I were on our way to the bus stop at the diversion road, I finally had the chance to photograph Mt. Isarog.

Naga City’s 63rd Charter Anniversary Schedule of Events
09 Jun 2011 No Comments
Here is the schedule of events for Naga City’s 63rd Charter Anniversary. It’s quite fun, I must admit, and I have italicized the activities I plan to go to slash attend slash drop by for a quick peek, or something of that nature. Just one of the fun simple things I can do here, and I’m sure I can take Lia along and she will just love it.
I’ll introduce Lia to kinalas, something I do not know myself. Shoot me.

31 May 2011 No Comments
Vic Nierva, colleague and friend of my brother at the Ateneo de Naga University, and my classmate in the Creative Writing graduate class I took under Charlson Ong at the University of the Philippines Diliman, posted some photos he took on the last test run of the much-awaited return of the Bicol Express, Ltd. With his permission, I am posting the beautiful photos here on my blog as something to look forward to. The inaugural run of the Bicol Express, Ltd. shall be on June 29th, Naga-Manila.

Island Hopping in Caramoan, Camarines Sur

It was such a calm fine day, that afternoon when we first took off to see the beaches that Caramoan has to offer…
I instantly felt at home in that boat, in the waters, in the calmness of the sea… It made me miss El Nido so much but at the same time, I was glad that I was back in my own province.
