Sunday Morning
Last week, our entire family went up north to Catmon, Cebu to enjoy summer one last time before the wet season begins. It was a simple overnight stay. Of course, laughter, drinking and karaoke ensued. But I really did my best wake up early, sit at the shore and wait for the sun to rise, because I know watching a sunrise by the beach is always beautiful.

Cebu at Night
Sometimes all you need is a little change in perspective to fall in love again with a place you’ve known all your life.

Qingyuan at Night
I never expected for this very laid back city, nestled in the outskirts of the Guandong Province, to be this bright and beautiful at night.

Crossing Bridges
I recently came to a point wherein I had to choose between sticking to my original plan of being an unpaid nurse here while waiting for opportunities abroad and exploring other career options. I had to choose the latter. So far my experience with my new found career has been nothing short of fun. Plus for the first time ever, I’m actually getting paid for just showing up. In hindsight, I really wished I did this a long a time ago. Although this is just temporary. My original plan will have to be put on hold until I gather up enough resources in order to put it in full swing. Here’s to the bridges and detours that life gives us!

Up In The Air
This isn’t exactly a cinegraph like the one Jamie Beck makes. This is just a bunch of frames I got by putting my cam on burst mode. But I’m really proud of this. This is like an animated snapshot of my window seat view from my trip back home to Cebu. 30,000 miles up in the air never looked this good.

Homeward Bound
This was my window seat view when the plane was hovering above Cebu City. This was taken when I went home from my little trip to our nation’s capital. Manila was awesome and all, but there’s really no place like home. You know what they say, you can take the boy out of Cebu, but you can’t take Cebu out of the boy.

Out and About
I had some quality me-time to go out and smell the flowers, literally. I feel like I’ve been missing out on a lot of things ever since I started with my month off from work. And I haven’t taken my camera out for a stroll. The thing is, when you’re inside and all you do is scour through the internet, you feel like you’re bigger than everything else because everything is just a click away and it’s just really all about yourself. But outside, I can’t help but feel so small, that I am but a tiny speck in the universe, trying to make sense of all the things that’s going on around me. Which nice because it put things into proper perspective, so to speak. I’m just glad I did go out. Nothing really beats the good outdoors.

Hope Springs Eternal
I’m not the kind of person who believes in or asks for signs. But I when I took this photo, I had a feeling that it was trying to tell me something. I was (and I still am, but not really) going through a petty quarter life crisis. I feel like everything is still up in the air, and I want to anchor myself in to something I can truly rely on. But seeing how the sunlight beautifully pierces its way through the waning rain clouds, it was then that I realized that there is always hope no matter how dire the situation is. I’m only as hopeless as I make myself feel.
This photo was taken at Pinamungahan, Cebu during a family road trip. Probably the reason why I love travelling through all the little towns of Cebu’s countryside is that every trip is a beautiful learning experience.

Wander Boy
The entire Reyes family went to Cebu’s Mid-West to enjoy some much needed R&R. My favorite part of the two-day vacation was lounging at a secluded beach on a gloomy Saturday afternoon.
