Candid Camera part deux

Turns out, there are other candid photos from Keith's wedding in Boracay.

Here's a photo of when the newlyweds were dancing on the beach with the sunset as a backdrop. We were given sparklers to illuminate the event.

It was one of those moments that we didn't know that the photographer was taking photos of us. On hindsight, the photographer was good because I don't even remember seeing him around that area.

Candid is cool!

Weave got it all!

Dad and Mom have a new fave shopping place in Bacacay.

There’s a general merchandise store called Divisoria Mart. True to it’s namesake, they have almost everything you need at very affordable prices. From food to cooking ingredients, clothes to shoes, wares for the kitchen to the bathroom to the living room - it’s all there.

When we went there, the folks binge-bought Christmas decors. They now adorn our house in Manila and our cottage in Bicol. During that shopping trip, there was this plastic outdoor dining set with a woven pattern that was so nice. And it would really look good in our cottage by the beach.

Surprise, surprise, it turned out that Dad bought it went we went back to Manila.

We’ve got the same taste in things, Dad and I.

Fine Vines

You know you’re getting old when the things that most excite you about a designer collaboration are lounge chairs and an umbrella!

Which is the case with the Vineyard Vines x Target collaboration.

I’d love to have these in our beach cottage in Bicol.

Back to my childhood

There are some things that automatically transports me back to the simple, idyllic time of my childhood.

Like the soft, black sand of the beach in Bacacay,

And eating freshly cooked sinapot.

Hooray for the simple life!

Beach, please.

Good food. Good company. Good cooks. Good beach.

The creative folks should go to the beach more often!

You're such a beach!

This is my view for the next 2 days.

I like it!

Lovely layers

As a kid, I was already enamored by layers.

Whether it was on a cake, a gulaman that Mom would make, or a toy, or a painting on the wall, I'd always gravitate toward things with well-defined layers.

So, while I was sitting on the beach in Cebu, this particular vista enamored me as well.

It's a simple layering of sand, sea and sky. But the way nature composed it that afternoon was just photo worthy.

Nature really is the best artist.
