9th Anniversary of Philippine Ragnarok Online ! ! !

Posted by Meiko on

My little sister and I were very visible since we’re on the front row. ANG SAYAAAA!!!

I thought that we were unfortunate because we failed to acquire premium passes for Cosmania 2012. As it turned out, it was actually a blessing-in-disguise!

The 9th Anniversary of Philippine Ragnarok Online fell on the same date as Cosmania’s. Level Up Games announced that KAMIKAZEE would be performing too so I knew that I SHOULD NOT MISS IT!

I am so glad that I did what my gut told me to do. I did not regret every single second (and cent) I spent on this event!!!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Down

“I dig my toes into the sand ~ the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds ~ strewn across a blue blanket”
— lyrics from “Wish You Were Here” by Incubus

I had been on a few out-of-town trips with either my fiancé, friends or colleagues. Each time we find ourselves in the beach, it became a pilgrimage to take a snapshot of our feet semi-buried in the sand.

Happy Feet ♥ Bohol 2010

WHITE. This snapshot was taken in the Virgin Islands of Bohol. Fine-grained white sand greeted us as soon as we unboarded our boat. We walked on the shoals barefooted. My trip to Bohol with my fiancé is still one of my favorite memories. I really want to go back there soon. Continue reading →

Weekly Photo Challenge : Ready

Posted by Meiko on

It was the start of the Year of the Black Water Dragon.

These flags were carried by Chinese-Filipino students during CHInoy HAO BANG. They were lining up in front of the stage (they were getting ready to perform the Dragon Dance) when my fiancé and I passed by to take some photos. I was lucky enough since the clouds were piling up as if a storm was brewing and one of the kids waved a flag as soon as I clicked my camera.

Of course, this is photo-manipulated to get that 300-feel to it. I got lazy so I didn’t remove the light stands in the lower part of the photo anymore.

This is my entry for the late theme this week. Thanks for the likes and comments. ♥

Weekly Photo Challenge : Hope

Posted by Meiko on

The Montenegro liner was loading about 15 trucks and smaller cars into its hanger.

The passengers lined up on the pier while silently and patiently waiting for the process to finish.

The ship was bound from the Batangas Pier to Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro.

It was around 9PM on the 23rd of December 2011.

Everyone was hoping that they could go home in time for Christmas and celebrate it with their love ones.

I used my new prime lense and was actually hoping to take a photo of the ship, however I forgot to set it on manual focus and the lady in the middle became the subject instead. LoL! This is my entry for the weekly photo challenge.

Dragon Flags

KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!!! 

Dada and I welcomed the Year of the Water Dragon by attending the CHInoy HAO BANG in San Miguel By the Bay – SM Mall Of Asia.  Dada is partly Chinese. I have no Chinese blood running through my veins. What I wanted to do was celebrate the results of my diet pact – my cheongsam finally fits!!! LoL! Continue reading →
