Help Restore our Lambajon!




This is an old photo of Balyan Beach Resort in Lambajon Baganga Davao Oriental. I took it during my last visit years ago. And now I only got photos of massive destruction caused by typhoon Pablo. My relatives were affected and once a beauty is now devastated.

It’s Christmas, aside from our sincere prayers … our kalumonan needs our assistance not just for temporary but for something they could use in restoring the place, their livelihood and building again what was destroyed.

Dance with my Father...

This photo was taken during RJ and Jonnah's wedding last December 8, 2012 with K of Kiyra Dreamshots Photography behind the camera.

I was teary eyed looking at Jonnah danced with her father, that same emotion I have every time I sing "Dance with my Father Again" in videoke. Funny, but this kind of moment is really special...

Puting Bato Mountain Resort


Mount Puting Bato, Samal Island
Mount Putting Bato is considered as the highest peak in Island Garden City of Samal. It is located in Sitio Tayapoc, Barangay Alindanao. I went up to this mountain without a better preparation. No sleep and no enough things for the hike just a bottle of water, a camera and a towel. The entire trek was fine since it is easy to get there. I was not just prepared for that bumpy ride from Peñaplata to Sitio Tayapoc. I am telling you the long bumpy ride is much more a muscle pain than climbing to the top. You will pass by grasses and cows, so better wear something that will protect your legs and hands.

Hagimit Falls

Hagimit Falls, Samal Island, Philippines
It is past noon. As I decided to go straight to Hagimit Falls after my breathless climb and ride from Mount Putting Bato. I cannot explain why it took me this long to finally visit a nearby island's most visited tourist spot, Hagimit Falls. The road going to the falls has been developed by local government which makes it an easy 5 minutes ride from bus terminal. It is a long walk from the entrance to Hagimit rock spring but quite relaxing because of nature's ambiance. After reaching the end of the path walk, I am not that impress because I thought it is all that it can offer, until I roam around. Though it has been developed and a lot of cottages, bridges and even spa are built within the vicinity, the running water and its natural beauty is still preserve. Its waters are bluish and inviting. The strong current of water falling from the falls is simply saying "come take a swim". The swimming area does not have even depth that is why swimmers need to take extra precautions. The lower deck swimming area reaches up to 10 feet while the upper deck is up to 7 feet deep and its layer is higher than the one below. But not only that an interesting view and I call it soulful can be found just behind the cottages where the water is passing to a rain forest. It is a wide area of rock spring. A must see magical place.

Julie Anne San Jose: Enough



Song: Enough
Performed by: Julie Anne San Jose

Enough is one of my favorite songs in her first album. I remembered how my friends and I talked about her having a first album, her own video music, and performing it with much energy in a big venue. Now that Julie has been anywhere promoting her music, I can’t help but smile. I know all the adiks I met 2 years ago on Facebook, Twitter and Pinoy Exchange are so proud of her well deserve blessings. I, along with the adiks can’t wait to see you holding that platinum awards and I want to claim it higher, we will prepare for the moment that you will receive that DIAMOND. Keep on soaring high Julie Anne San Jose!
