Somewhere between the excitement over buying a new house and the horror of surgery are the forgotten photos from Speedy’s Puerto Galera trip last month. I remember saying I’d post them after the sunset photos but my mind had been elsewhere most of the time (like 10 minutes away from our house) and I just plain forgot.
These photos somehow makes me envious that as small as Speedy’s camera is, it can can do one important thing that mine can’t. Perhaps, someday, when I can afford the underwater housing for my dSLR…

Speedy and his officemates were in Puerto Galera for three days last week. It was a company-sponsored outing so I couldn’t go with him. He did bring home a lot of photos though.

White Beach is nothing compared to the solitude and pristine beauty of Puca Island and Crystal Cove.

The third batch of the photos taken by my daughter at the Pawikan Conservation Project site.
It wasn’t all work and study for the kids at the pawikan conservation site in Morong, Bataan. There was time for some soccer and beach volleyball.

These photos were taken on the beach behind Gerry’s Grill in Subic where we had lunch just before we left for Metro Manila during a weekend stay last month. All are zoomed in photos.
Above, the portion of the beach reserved for swimmers. The larger portion was for jetskiing.
A lighthouse. I don’t know if it’s a [...]
