One of my favorite places to go to for freediving is in the Diving Municipality in the South of Cebu: Moalboal! It is famous for its rich marine life in its beautiful waters and also its well protected Marine Sanctuaries that boasts several colorful corals and probably fishes you don’t normally see when you opt to go for Island Hopping in Mactan (another place known for Diving in Cebu).

Armed with my GoPro HD Hero 2 attached with a blurfix from Snake River Prototyping, I then dip in the blue waters of Moalboal along with Lakbay Diva and The Travelling Feet. We did not do any Continue reading

Under the sea! Cebu is blessed with rich marine diversity.

One of the most common activities which I often hear from visitors requesting instead of me suggesting is Island hopping. There are plenty of places to go Island hopping in Cebu but the easiest and most convenient would be in Mactan. Just less than an hour away from Cebu City, the Island of Mactan is well known as a diver’s school ground for basic diving courses, and also a favorite activity among tourists: Island Hopping.

It’s you stepping away from the city and just experience the Islander’s life.  Continue reading

Well, last Wednesday, I was lucky to experience all those. Continue reading

A Step into Video Blogging…Again

Okay okay, I said before I’ll dabble with video blogging but I chickened out that time. I guess I was rather insecure and unsure with how I was doing things. Was I doing okay with my video productions? Did I have a good enough storyline? Will people like what I’m shooting or saying? Those were some things that bothered me while I was working on some videos using my then purchased Canon 7D. Continue reading

The Niche I Try to Avoid

A lil portrait photography back on the blogspot days, I had no idea how to do post-processing then

When the burst of Photography fad came in, I could almost always see a person carrying a DSLR around their neck wherver I go. Be it the mall, the streets, public transportation, parks, homes, and even in the church, PEOPLE have them.

Apart from the physical aspect of photography being a more visible hobby, I started seeing posts online saying “Having a DSLR doesn’t make you a photographer, it makes you a DSLR owner.” Well at a certain level yes and no. But for that argument, I’ll save it for later. Continue reading
