Road trip

Fired Angel, I hate to do this to you, man. You who got stuck in Manila. But since you asked for it....here's the first picture I took of Jiminy Da Cricket during my trip up north.


Save for three more shots from other angles, this is the only picture I was able to take on my way to Laoag. What I did was take note of the nice places I saw on my way up, then I took a leisurely two-day trip back to Manila so I can have more time to take pictures.

Why Laoag? Well, I figured it was time to go out of my comfort zone. I've been to La Union, I needed to go further up.

I'm thinking next time, I'd take Jiminy to a trip that entails a ferry ride.

By the way, I had soda here in Narvacan.

Then I had soda here, too. But it was on my way back to Manila.




I like this bridge because it deviates from what I call the "elementary school design" of our bridges, those that have no art in them. However, this bridge needs fixing, too. It has lumpy asphalt, all the way. Argh. Why can't our engineers do things right?

More pictures in the days to come. Next time, I hope I have a photo buddy with me, with Angel your pasaway girlfriend in tow.

At dapat may 250mm na tayong lens. Pautang naman!

ganda ng sasakyan mo ah!

kung masipag lang ako, may kasama ka sana sa byahe mo. hehe.

may nagsuggest nga sa kin na since nahihilig naman daw ako sa piktyur taking at wala naman na ko trabaho, mag-roro daw ako at ikutin ang kayang ikutin. ok sana yun, but see paragraph number 2.

asan na yung mga napagbentahan mo ng pix mo yun pambili natin ng telephoto. pero sa mga nakikita kong subjects mo, mukhang mas bagay na unang bilhin mo e wide angle lens. suhestyon lang naman. :)

A trip that entails a ferry ride? Then why not drive all the way down south? Deretso ka sa Matnog, Sorsogon then take a ferry going to Samar...

Atticus!!! Long time no read! Nag-iba ka na pala kasi ng blogsite so hinanap ko pa. I'm back to blogging na rin. Mwehehe.

"travel to a new place once a year. talk to strangers. ask for directions. try everything once. learn."

I am following your orders right at this very moment. Nasa CHINA akoooo!! wohhooo. medyo funny nga alang ang talk to strangers thing kasi mas mabuting i-action ko na lang kesa mag chinese ako. kahit ako di ko maintindihan pinagsasabi ko eh. hehehe.
