Signs in Lisbon

Currently, hubby and I are leaving Lisbon and are on our way to Porto via the Alfa Pendular or the CP – Comboios de Portugal. I haven’t posted in the past couple of weeks (or months) because things have been kinda hectic. So now I am linking this to Johnbo’s Signs in Lisbon Markets Some…

Framing my Travels

Sometimes intentionally but most times unintentionally, I use arches and openings on walls to frame my subject. For me, the purpose of framing is to guide the viewer’s eyes to what I want to emphasise and ultimately create a better composition because of it. Some of these photos I have used before but bear with…

My Melbourne weekend

Saturday, I and hubby decided to go to the city just because… We started off at about 4 pm and saw this magnificent autumn colours and the weekend sky. Inspired by Hammad’s Weekend Sky Challenge I wanted to go and see the Temple of Boom at the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria). We got there…

A walk in Abbotsford Convent

After having a hearty lunch for Mother’s Day, fam and I went to the Abbotsford Convent to spend the rest of the day walking and talking about what has gone by during the past weeks that we didn’t see each other. With lush gardens, the Abbotsford Convent is a slice of the country, an art…

A Moody Walk

When I first saw the theme of the challenge for this week, I was confused as to what direction I was going to take. There were so many different ways of tackling the subject. But it was a Sunday and my hubby and I decided to go for a weekend walk to relax. So there…

I am a city girl

Most of you know that I come from the Philippines, but a lot of you may not know that in the Philippines I lived in Makati, the financial hub … the Skyscrapers capital … the shopping destination … and I love it. I worked there for 10 years with my office on the top floor….

Glowing Moments in Budapest

When I saw the prompt, my trip to Budapest immediately came to mind. I have posted this before on my other blog…but hey, no harm in posting this again. On 2018, hubby and I went to Budapest and there we went on a night cruise. The architectural and historical buildings sparkle on the banks of…

The “road” I was forced to take

This week’s theme asks us to think about our favourite style of photography as the road (most often) taken. I love taking flower photography, travel photos, as well as photos of random objects and sceneries that I see along the way. This time however, I went on a trip back to my homeland the Philippines…

Peace amidst chaos

“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”-Deepak Chopra. Holidays are not just all noise and laughter and catching up with people… there can also be some down time. I was just in the Philippines a few days ago and in between the chaos, I found some time for myself. These…
