This past week, I found myself blog hopping, or more like Multiply site hopping, for some unconscious reason. Perhaps it started with Jay-jay Cenon‘s post about going to Zambales to shoot landscapes, something he has not done in a while, and from then on, hopped to Ed’s Magsayo’s, to Rex Literato’s, to Romulus Rueda’s, to Cha Santos‘ and to Cedric Valera’s. Multiply has a lot of nice old data, nice for all those walks down memory lane… back from the time when everyone was there, having so much fun – all this before the Facebook take-over, of course.
I didn’t really think of it much until the Cebu Pacific’s Summer photo contest’s first winner came out and I remember just looking at a photo with the same concept the day before (that explains previous post).
I used to go to the Shutterbox website where I got the information about Travel Factor’s Photoholic trip to Ilocos. I haven’t been to the site in years and it has not been updated since October 2009 but at least it still exists.
I remember having this conversation with Ryan:
Angku:Â Let’s go to Ilocos on this trip.
Ryan: You go. I have been to Ilocos already.
Angku: But I have not!
Ryan: Libre mo ko. Samahan kita.
Angku: Okay, I have enough money saved.
And that’s how we ended going to Ilocos, on a trip I paid myself for the two of us, which was really cheap, considering it was only P9,600 all in! From all the transportation to accommodations and all the food, and even the drinks during the socials! I don’t drink but the idea of “socials” always catches me. 
Photoholic trip is open to all photographers at any skill level with any kind of camera; film or digital (point&shoot and even camera phone users are welcome).
Open to Photography Enthusiasts, Posers, Barkada and Solo Travelers.
Open also to all who just want to hang out with us and explore the beauty of the Philippines.
So we showed up at McDo Quezon Avenue with our backpacks, not knowing anyone else on the trip aside from Jpax and Fem who went on the trip with us on a short-notice whim because of Ryan. I met Leia and Rex who were manning the registration table in one corner of the fast food, for the very first time. It was very forgettable. More

I am not really very sporty. I don’t know any ball games. I don’t play any ball games. I do swim and surf. There are no balls there. I play badminton. No balls there either. Just cocks. Shuttle cocks.
So anyway, the last time I played badminton was back when I was living in El Nido. And we only played in the middle of the street, or sometimes, if the court is free and devoid of basketball players, at the municipal multi-purpose court.
But I’m gonna go play this time. It’s all in the spirit of fun… and games.. and camaraderie.. and so on and so forth.
