Calatagan, Batangas

First travel for the year!!! :D

Bryan invited me to tag along with his travel gang to Calatagan. It was my first trip with their group so I didn't have any expectations whatsoever. My goal was merely to take a relaxing weekend out of town and abuse my photoholic self.

Well, honestly the place wasn't really very outstanding compared to the other locations I've been to. But for the proximity, it was good enough.


Nevertheless, I had an absolutely great time with this group! Laugh trip all the way! These guys are really pros at traveling. They pack light, only one bag for everything including their photography paraphernalia. They know how to market, cook, clean up after themselves, walang maarte o maselan. Best of all, despite a very long day of spot-hopping, they still have so much energy to last until inuman time! And even better, they have an amazing sense of humor. We were constantly laughing our faces off, haha. Donna, you're a star!


Here are the quotable quotes for the session:

"Ako nagtanim, ako nag-ani, ako bumayo... Iba kumain!" - Donna
"There's no risk in making bayo" - Mer
"Energy is only transferred or transformed" - Sealdi, ginagamitan kami ng Physics
"Mukha bang may ngiti ang puso ko tuwing nandyan siya? Nakikita niyo ba?" - Donna
"Kung isa akong karaniwang babae magugustuhan ko siya... Problema hindi ako isang karaniwang babae...." - Donna
"Isa siyang pandan. Kailangan hawiin ang mga talahib para kunin siya at alagaan" - Donna

Kalurki! Marami pang usapang pagtatanim ang naganap. Sana mag-status message na ang mga tao para maalala ko. Ang profound ng mga taong itech! Hahaha.

On top of the good company, I was also able to use Lexi on a more natural environment. It produced such gorgeous photos, comparable to the ones from the other guys' DSLRs. I couldn't be any prouder. :)
