Ohhhh my!!!! hehehehe.... a very very very late christmas post.....
Anyway... just want to share some photos taken last christmas from Koronadal, South Cotabato, my wife's hometown.
Each trees were adopted by a participating agency or companies to be decorated and lighted up.
A Fruitful Christmas!!!




A very fruitful christmas because my father-in-law have his mango orchard harvested...
and gathered almost 10 tons of green mangoes.



Bell peppers, bitter melon, tomatoes, cucumber, squash, eggplants, okra and.... ohhh... I forgot the others....
just sing "bahay kubo" halos lahat makikita nyo sa garden ng father-in-law ko ;-)
Wooot Wooohhh!!! Paskong-pasko na talaga!!!
Nitong nakaraang Biyernes, ika-5 ng Disyembre ay pormal ng binuksan ang "Pasko sa Gensan 2008". Ang Tema sa taong ito ay "Enchanted Gensan: Once upon a Yuletide Season". Nagkataon namang napadaan ako sa Oval Plaza at buti na lang dala-dala ko ang aking maliit na camera... kaya heto ang ilan sa mga eksenang narehistro sa memory card.....

Even though Alabel, Sarangani Province is just a minute away neighbor of Gensan City, it was my first time to witness their "MunaTo Festival". There were so many activities I missed for a week long celebration, but since the highlight of the festival fell on a Saturday, that was my chance to visit Alabel.
My First destination ...... the Motocross. But I was so early, the race hasn't started yet, but luckily there were riders practicing, and so these are what my camera captured...
with the tricks they do, but for a show, they were definitely cool.
at the flying riders, but they must be really careful when they try this. With elders on the lookout please!
My Next stop.... "Sayew D'Dalan" or the Street Dancing Competition. There were only three Municipalities who joined the competition, Municipality of Malungon, Alabel and Maitum. The photographs you see are activities from the street dancing. The drums were just beating frantically as the dancers sway their bodies to the beat.
Cornhusk dresses these participants, a proof of the agricultural thanksgiving each municipality bestows to the gods.
which are all enjoying the show, all cheering for their own bet.
The beauty of Sarangani is not only through these pictures, visit the place and you will see an abode of nature, Glan's Gumasa White Beach, the oysters in Malapatan, corn in Maitum, atis in Maasim, the Little Baguio in Malungon, the fascinating falls in Kiamba, and of course, the White House Capitol in Alabel...
All of them, in one great festival..... MunaTo
Hmmmnnn…... just want to share you what my work really is….. first, I’m not a photographer, just a shutter happy guy. I’m a Computer Eng-eng employed in LGU as IT Consultant under City Mayor’s Computer Literacy Project. I’m teaching Basic Computer subjects in Elementary Students every morning then back to our office located in City Public Library in the afternoon to make butingting everything. After office hours, I worked as a Computer graphics/lay-out artist, multimedia/web designer, systems analyst and computer technician in our little company R2C2 Digital Instincts. Whew!... on weekends... laba saka plantsa... ganyan talaga ang mga Macho.... nooorin.....
The fun in Boracay also doesn't end when the sun sets. Boracay nightlife is pulsating with many bars and restaurants serving food, drink and fun until the very late evening.
sun rays a few minutes after sunset
Boracay Station 3
Usual site in Boracay, foreigners everywhere
this sandcastle was done for more than seven hours
PUKA White Beach Photoshoot
A quiet stretch of white sand along the northern tip of the island, Puka Beach is an image of what most people expect on a tropical island: white sand, azure water, and relatively empty. This is where locals gather the small puka shells for some of the jewelry that is sold on the island so expect the sand to be more coarse than on White Beach. The water tends to be a little rougher on this side of the island but it is much quieter. Similarly, there are fewer services -- at last count there was one restaurant but you likely won't have a problem getting a cold drink or an ice cream as there are a few vendors that patrol the beach. The main road in Boracay terminates at Puka Beach therefore you'll be able to hire a tricycle to get there in less than 10-15 minutes from central White Beach. Make sure you arrange a pickup if it is a quiet day and no tricycles are hanging around the beach. Most people experience Puka as one of their sailboat or banca stops during a day trip.
Whew! not breathing for 5 seconds
My two piece..... sandals and shades.... no more no less.....
