Viewing the Sunset Over the Ricefield

By livelifeandlove on July 4, 2015

The peaceful attraction which is truly appreciated and accessible from all points along the ricefield.The light flashings of yellow, deep red and orange is vibrant and powerful that changes its colors every moment. It all happens when we passed by an area along the way going for an early dinner to the nearest restaurant nearby,we accidentally went to the wrong way,I guess,wrong lead of direction. When I saw the sundown,I immediately stopped for a brief moment to to capture the power of nature. sunset photo I took during our summer visit in Pagsanjan,Laguna.

This sunset photo is truly simple and unique compared to the rest that was published earlier. In here, you can see how spacious the surroundings and the greenery around. In addition, the birds and farm animals around added more attractions to the subject.

Sunset is a Peaceful Expression of Nature

By livelifeandlove on July 2, 2015

I have discovered a delightful space that I can temporarily claim as my own, a refreshing area free from distractions, where I can observe the sun setting on the horizon. I am enamored with the entire ambiance! The view of the sea accompanied by the sight of birds soaring through the sky is truly captivating. As I watched the sun descend, I listened to my favorite classical piece, “Human” by Christina Perri. The soothing melodies had a calming effect, alleviating my stress. This experience provided a dual sense of relaxation; the combination of music and the breathtaking sunset created a perfect harmony that uplifted my spirits. This moment serves as a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Monarch Butterfly in the garage

By livelifeandlove on June 3, 2015

It came to the right place when I’m about to leave in minutes suddenly, a gorgeous butterfly appeared in front of me. It was a good timing because I was holding my iphone that time when I was still in the garage, I immediately point it out to photograph. Just a brief moment and the butterfly flew away. Thanks God! the focus was quiet good. I’ve captured it using iphone and my first butterfly click using iphone.

Life and Photography Away from Home

By livelifeandlove on December 23, 2014

It was so far but good to reach behind, radically it was a different place to work at, even though, life is too much overloaded but the present location would give back more. When today’s unemployment rate is high, more people leave the country every year in search for a greener pasture abroad. It’s really hard to think how the smartest and the best asset leave home and families behind. Progressively as we’d expect but due to economic circumstances beyond control, sometimes it’s good and often not. So far, many lost their present job, would probably bring them to a certain place where you can find a brighter future ahead. Others, they leave the present situation that actually enjoyed doing it. Somehow, you cannot resist the tempting offers to work abroad, it’s just the right thing to do, to take the chance and grab the opportunity.

Let me share with you the life story of an OFW based in K.S.A In here, you’ll get survival tips on how to cope up with homesick feeling . Miles away from home means doing everything, a lot of things has to be done to cope with it.

A family friend Mhel Regalado, a Sr. architectural inspector,ABV Rock Group Ltd., K.S.A later found out that the nature of work is good and might be the dream job for keeps even though, it’s quiet hard to be away from his family, just a bit adjustment thinking the present situation would give back more.

Eventually he did, He was able to cope up to certain blues and gloomy feelings. He even shared some experiences in Facebook. Job actually is not just for money, it’s more on self-satisfaction doing something good for many. It’s a wide practice of the company that if they think that you are an asset, they will take care of everything. The right direction might lead to a situation, something that so many people aspiring for.

How to get closer yet so far

He regularly keep in contact with his family. To make the fastest communication using smart phones, emails, messenger, skype, using laptop to keep up to date on everyday activities. The biggest expense probably is the plane ticket back home…

Mhel on weekend adventure, Seeing any smile on his face, He looks happy.

Working abroad is hard and full of stress. Doing his own laundry, Mhel cooks his own meals and ”baon” to work.They take turns going to market and cook good food with fellow housemates. A fair share of expenses in doing marketing and all of that, I believe, if you are really determined, there’s always time to do things you really want. There’s always a way…

Mhel can cook, his signature dish,”Ginataang Hipon” to share with other housemates. It looks yummy!

If you think about life overseas, it causes further stress. Being far from home, he experienced a homesick feeling, longing to see loved ones back home.To reduce it, He spend his holiday going adventure with friends during weekends. After work and before bedtime is a regular free time goes online social life in Facebook. One hobby he loved most is photography. He ‘s adventurous, taking photos of scenery including, beautiful landscape, food, people, and self-portrait too. Let’s check some of his photos taken around.

Halloween 2014

By livelifeandlove on October 29, 2014

My Halloween Presentation for this year,2014

You can’t find what’s in unless you go out and see what’s new. In my case, I don’t have to look very far to find some spooky and horrible stuffs to show off, they are just around the corner and everywhere. Lately, I took some bone-chilling photographs during my hunt for strange things and figures for my ”Halloween Special” Some photographs is something closer to shocked! I took these photos while walking around Eastwood city.

The Gingerbread House

A kiddie ride park was set up on the other corner and Halloween superheroes show.

The ”Red Crab”, Alimango house

Along the corridors is a ”Red Crab” an Alimango house, serves the best crab in the city, they got the best theme and Halloween costume.

Very beautiful Halloween theme.

The most feared but I admired you guys for having the guts to do this freaky thing, I know it’s a part of your job, isn’t it? You look like a friendly zombie! Do you think this one is cute and cuddly? then, this one is for you.

In front of a restaurant where customers would enter and be greeted by a zombie, a dead man walking covered with blood and taken his hands off while the other hand is holding it.

Trick or treat?

If you choose treat then these photos for sharing but, if you pick trick then these guys are your besties.

Bloodied zombie with a frontal stab, it looks like a morgue. A living dead sleeping? I think, zombies never sleep.

The lower half body of ”manananggal” You can see the internal organs. The most scared but admired. Take a sharp glance and click on images to view larger.

Caught on camera, the zombie was smiling to perform his real halloween move! Other restaurant crews wearing their Halloween costume. Other costumes like the Werewolf, Demon, Hunchback of Notre Dame and many more..

Other pictures taken around Eastwood Mall. This is an amusement park for kids. I think, it was intended just for this Sunday event.

The Rubber Slide for kids.

For the kids to enjoy, this is the best place.

Full of people all around.

Front view of Rubber Slide.

It looks like an early Halloween celebration last Sunday.

Feeling of Love in Romantic Setting

By livelifeandlove on April 11, 2014

Love feeling that takes place in romantic setting

Low clouds and afternoon mist provides dramatic effect before the sunset. A young man sitting alone serves to highlight the colorful shadow before sundown. What is the young man doing in this area? No one bothered him except me for a few moment chat with him. What brought you here? And he replied,”Just to see the sunset’’ What is so special about the sunset? He answered, It gives refreshing mood away from hectic school schedules and assignments.

For few questions, I’d like to get a possibility from him to open a love story but,I refrain myself from asking too many questions because it might be awkward to answer such things. There was no early arrangement made to interview since it was only a chance meeting. He was busy texting while talking. I guess, curiosity made me so, he’s here to release all his worries. After having him talked as he wished, he left holding his mobile on hand. With just a few steps away, He turned his back and said, I think, I’m already in love! Ohhh! that’s the point I’ve been waiting for…

How could you forget something just as for me to repeat his name as he walk away.. I can recall other details with the facts that came in the corner of just a short conversation.It seems to be a typical love story revolving around teenagers of today.

An outdoor experience. A good setting where you can get more hours to refresh and think about what the next move.

Beautiful scenery, Manila Bay along Roxas Blvd.

I agree, this is the perfect place to relax but, if you ask me to relate the atmosphere here, I can just describe it as a lonely daybreak. I mean, at least, you must have a meaningful smile even if hectic school assignment arises! It’s just a part of education and for you to learn and grow up!

Looks like a solitaire but I don’t see any grim expression on his face.No matter what we go through life, to love and to be loved, it’s meant to make life worth living.

Far from the buzz of the university crowd. Sometimes, It’s more calm and peaceful to be with yourself for awhile.

Among my favorite places to go, I really believed this place is the best refreshing area that’s why I was also here at that time.

How wonderful to view the same area at this time of the day. It’s makes a big difference if you stay home and enclosed yourself to a room with only 4 wall corners to view every time. That would be very boring, isn’t it?

Taken 30 minutes before the sunset.

This refreshing sight is a wonder of nature. If you see these scenic views you’ll forget all your worries and what lies beyond… It would be a meaningful experience to view the sunset. It will help you appreciate and understand Mother Nature. And you? How do you refresh yourself? and where?

New Year Countdown to 2014 – Eastwood City

By livelifeandlove on January 5, 2014

December 31, 2013, New Year Countdown to 2014 at Eastwood City

People in the Philippines set-off fireworks to mark the end of the year and to welcome the new start. The noisier, the merrier it is. Night sky was alive with the crackling noises of whistles, honking of car horns, ringing of bells, flashing of cellphone lights is done traditionally every year to drive away evil spirits.

Crowd gathered at Eastwood to witness the 2014 countdown. It was a midnight noise to wake up everyone and be merry for the New year 2014. Tourists from all over the world came to celebrate and witness how the year ends. American Idol Jessica Sanchez is back in the city to perform and lead the New year countdown to 2014 with other local performers; Bamboo, Mitoy to name a few. Fireworks display draws thousands of people from different nationalities; Koreans,Indians, Turkish and many more. I was there to document the whole event. With the loud sounds and noises, I’m sure no bad spirit will stay alive, only good would be left around.

Here’s some shots taken during the countdown to 2014

Sky Blue with Muntingia Calabura

By livelifeandlove on October 9, 2013

Morning glow of the day is to appreciate all the good things in life as it was tightly packed with treasures and beautiful scenery. Watching the flowers take its shape in the morning and rate my favorites is the reason of enjoying the beauty of nature,it is something that I loved to do with passion that gives me a better view of the things around. Photographing the white flowers with the blue sky background looks well in a more natural setting,it is a learning fun and fascinating.
