Little boy borrowed my camera while we sampled Bluegre’s Durian Coffee. Durian, on its own, is already one thick, creamy confection that catwalks perfection between bitterness and sugary heaven. Given you’ve been dealt premium grade stuff–getting one when it’s barely ripe or simply not the variety for you translates to disaster. Anyway, wasn’t this a post on coffee? Durian…

Calle Crisologo Treats
Named after Mena Crisologo, Ilocos Sur’s 1st governor and patron of Ilocano art, Calle Crisologo displaces visitors a century into the past: not too incendiary a displacement, in fact.

Colours will distract you some days and they’re captivating enough to count as valid nutrition sources. Think photography, for me, has always involved tiptoeing lines between light and shadow; it’s a time-consuming exercise and a healthy distraction that sometimes serves it’s purpose, drawing in cash when necessary. Myriad of hues with it’s hint of comedy,…
Sustain the habit.
Continually, life blindsides me on an innocent Tuesday while you’re simply flowing with the tides. Salt to the face, ocean breeze, stray jellyfish nipping at your leg. My childhood, continuously tethered to bodies of water; the ocean a metaphor for life. What am I getting at? I’m not so sure yet, I just know that…
Life in choice photography.
Turns out the blog had been running itself in my absence. Thanks for all the new follows and comments, I will try my best to answer the queries. For those who need their answers ASAP, take note that all this is built on research. A bit of my material is taken from http://books.google.com/, gems you will…
