A Walk on the Shore

Posted by Unknown On Friday, July 23, 2010 1 comments


I was walking down the beach one afternoon on the month of December 2009. As I walked, I remember the times when I was still so little that my mom would take me on this beach early morning to race with her or run towards her trying to catch her with all my might.


Just sitting on the beach, watching as the waves rushes to the shore, feeling the cool breeze caressing your face, and knowing that you're the only one around brings you the feeling of 'serenity'. What a nice feeling. :)


As I was walking barefooted, feeling the sand on my feet, I saw few stuff drifted into the shore. I so wonder where these things came from. Maybe from a boat that sinked, from the nearby houses, from the people who used the beach, or from somewhere else. Nobody knows.




I just love our town's beach. Less rocks that can hurt your feet, pure fine sand, plenty of fishes, and clear water. Nothing beats your own. :)


The Sungka

Posted by Unknown On 0 comments

Sungka is a traditional Filipino Game played by two participants. The object of the game is to amass stones or cowrie shells in your home base (bahay) by continuously distributing the shells around lesser holes until you run out of shells to distribute. The person who collects the most shells in his/her bahay wins.




This sungka-an was bought many years ago and is now displayed in our living room. I used to play with this sungka with my cousins long time ago when we were still kids but as we grew older, it only became a display figure in our home. As you can see, there are also cowrie shells which are used to play sungka. Those shells were pretty shiny and smooth to touch. :)


This photo is pretty much vintage looking. 


Just Another Kitty Cat

the cutest thing
I just love seeing cats and dogs do their 'stick the tongue out' thing. They really look so cute and cuddly when they do that. :)

Cats and dogs are my favorite pets. We have them back in our hometown.





Just like this kitty, I had one before back when I was still in high school. They have same color and appearance. The only difference is that I raised that kitty unlike this one. I used to carry him everywhere I go, feed him, bathe him, even put him in the cradle to sleep. I treated him like a baby and named him 'Miming'. Unfortunately, when I came home from school one day, they told me he died already due to unknown cause. He was unlike any other cat. He's special.

On the other hand, this kitty wanders everywhere and was luckily adopted by my grandpa. Guess he's born to be a model -- he likes to pose and doesn't run away whenever the camera shoots at him even on close up unlike our other scaredy cats.

Hope to post more kitty photos. :)

Me and my mom went to Tacloban City for her school work. It would only take 3 hours (by bus/car/motorcycle) for us to get there from our hometown, Hinundayan, Southern Leyte. After doing what she had to do, we stop by the church. These are the few shots I got. Enjoy! :)

I was walking on the seashore one day in our hometown and I decided to capture these two seashells. They look pretty good in macro. :)
