Airport's Sunrise Glow

Last November, mom, my sister and I headed south of the Philippines. We left Laguna at about 4am for our 7am flight to General Santos. We were dropped by the airport at around 5am, still dark but had a great time watching one of Pal's biggest plane surrounded by the golden glow of Manila's sunrise.

Philippine Farm

My parents would always make sure to bring me and my siblings to their respective farms whenever we get a chance to spend some long vacations at the province. I will never forget my very first farm trip experience – my first ride on top of a carabao, when we ate our lunch placed in banana leaves, the thrill I felt walking in the rice field, how I was amazed by the way the locals pick their fruits, my first taste of a sugar cane…and I was so young back then! These memories that retained in my young mind inspire me to know more about how life in a farm is. Yes, it always excites me to see new sites but what I love the most about travelling is visiting the familiar places that bring back some good old memories – like a Farm!

Sarangani Highlands: Great Food and Amazing Views

Sarangani Highlands Garden and Restaurant changed their name this year to Sarangani Highlands Resorts after expanding hotel rooms and spa. A great way to attract more tourists coming in, after all this is Cong. Manny Pacquiao's official jurisdiction.

Welcome to "The Walking Tripod"

We try to grab pieces of our lives as they speed past us. Photographs freeze those pieces and help us remember how we were. 
Gene McSweeney

The Walking Tripod is a photo blog - my personal photo gallery created to showcase a collection of chosen pictures taken from my past adventures, travels, food trips and even my kitchen hits and mishaps. Photos are my personal key favorite when it comes to bringing home pieces of souvenir captured away from home. They're more expressive and cheap :)

I am no pro at taking pictures but hopefully I could become one great photographer someday.
