Thanks again to blogging, I was able to buy my own Nikon D40 last week. Of course, Riz has a lot to do with it, hehe. Evidently, I don’t know anything about dSLRs, but I’ve been talking to some of my photography-adik friends and reading the manual (*nosebleed*), and guess what? I still pretty much don’t know how to use it. Lol. But that sad fact is NOT gonna stop me and my friends from taking amateur photos with it!
I like Teacher Julie’s weekly Weekend Snapshots idea. So much that I think it’s something I want to do from now on. I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to get it going every week as good as she does, though. But let me try. Hehe.
Baguio Visit
A friend who’s having some personal problems requested our company last week, so Deej and I hopped onto a bus bound for Baguio Friday night to take a short 2-day vacation with him. I’ve been to Baguio twice before but I didn’t stay there long enough to enjoy the place. Fortunately, we have two generous friends residing there whose doors are always open to us, bwisitas from Manila. They took us to the best sights to see and the good places to dine. It was a fun time. Nothing beats the cool, fresh mountain air!
Originally, we wanted to go there in time for the Panagbenga parade (February 23-24), but we were told the city is usually packed and the bus terminals crazy during those dates so we decided we’d rather visit the place pre-Panagbenga. Here are some pictures:
With Van at Burnham Park
View of SM Baguio from the lake
With Paolo Santos at Chill Out
..and some “Friendster shots” (Lol)
Family picture: Deej, me, Geh, Van, Jep
Baguio City is such a lovely, peaceful place. I definitely won’t mind living there someday. :)
wow!
kami naman next week. hehehehe. iv been to baguio twice too, but never during the “cold” season or the flower festival. excited na ako!!!
wow travel travel lang ah at may new dSLR pa! gawa ka na din photoblog :)
Tarits: Balik kaya kami no? tas kitakits dun! hehehe
Liz: Haha! I don’t think bagay sa akin ang magkaron ng “photoblog”. I still treat the dslr as a point-and-shoot digicam, LOL.
Wah jowni! Great start!! :) Tara let’s shoooot! And I love this weekend snapshots idea too. Hmm. Para may excuse to update your blog everyweek hehe. Gusto ko riiiin :)
Riz: Kung pwede lang mag-rant about our jobs eh no, updated regularly sana ung blogs natin, hahaha
Sure! Kinopya ko lang din naman yan hehehe!
Balik tayo sa panagbenga with Rita, dami mga bulaklak na pwedeng pikchuran dun :D
I’m going to Baguio next week, Joni! We will not be going on Panagbenga week because we’re going to do some serious tour of the place hehe :)
Sasha: Oooh, nice! I’m sure mageenjoy kayo. Sana mas malamig na next week, hehe :)
Congratz Jon’ on the new kick-ass camera! I’m really drooling over DSLRs, even though I also don’t know how to use one.hehe Basta nami gd ang quality sng pics ah. :D
wonderful! someday i too wish to visit baguio. i honestly never have been there… and it is just one of my must see cities/provices in the phils.
btw congrats to having your Nikon D40.
i also have to say, nice snapshots you squeezed in here. it did add spice and more life to your blog!
:D
Ooh Baguio – reminds me just how sucky the air in Metro Manila is. I’m a city girl, but our air is killing us all. *wheeze*gasp*wheeze*
Don’t worry Joni, you’ll get the hang of your new toy soon! Nobody’s born an expert.
Michelle: Di pa gid ko kabalo ya, kahuluya. Lol. Mapatudlo na lang ko next time, medyo busy pa hehehe :)
Ligaya: Thank you! :)
Aurus: Yep, we just scraped off 10 years of our lifespans just by living in the city. hehehe.
Sana matutunan ko na sya! Turuan mo pa ko. hehe :D
