Snippets: Guimaras



Since I find it hard to type in my thoughts these days--mostly due to irrational excuses--I'll be posting some of my photos instead. I'm making a new category dedicated entirely to single-captured photos that I randomly took on my trips all over the metro, the country, or somewhere across our national boarder. This basically lessens the pressure of pumping out paragraphs to compose an article when all I have to say are a few words. Plus, I really don't want this blog to die out due to sheer laziness. 

I really love promoting the Philippines despite her making me cuss on a daily basis. This is a lovely place to call home and I'll do what I can to tell her stories through the silence of a still frame. 

This photo was taken in Gumiaras, a small island in the Visayas region during one of my trips last August 28, 2010. The island is tucked between Iloilo and Negros, the small sloping bulge at the end of the horizon that can be seen across the bay of Bago, Negros Occidental.

I was with my older brother here, and we were snorkeling along a not so distant reef from the island. For Php800 we were able to charter a boat that took us around a few nearby diving spots. There were a couple of fishermen hauling their nets when our boat passed by this man who was then paddling his way back to the beach. There's another small canoe in front of him, but that shot came out blurry so I settled on sharing this one. This is where I saw the biggest grouper in my life! It was around 5 feet long!
