Galera Galore

Puerto Galera is the northwesternmost municipality in the province of Oriental Mindoro,Philippines. It is located at the southwestern end of the Isla Verde Passage, about 130 kilometers (81 mi) south of Manila.


To go, ride bus to Batangas Pier. Bus leaves from Alabang, Muntinlupa or near LRT Gil Puyat Station in Pasay. From the pier, boats will take you to White Beach or Sabang. Sabang is more popular for foreign visitors, whearas White Beach is for the locals. I, and my two friends, went to White Beach. A lot of foreign visitors also frequent this place. 

Journeying the Year 2011

The Flags by the Mall of Asia seaside. 

My journey begins this 2011.

This year would probably be the beginning of a long wait, and the happening of previous waits. I am just ecstatic for the dates to come, for the dates I know I will be exposing myself to the world. I will do a lot of travelling this year, a lot of journeying. To some, it would just be an ordinary kind of travel. But to me, it will definitely mean a lot. Especially, now, I have the abilities and probably the skills to capture the every adventure I will take.

They say, when you tell everything, it may not come true. But the heck, the excitement just triggers the muscles of my not so talkative mouth, and dictates the strikes of my fingers through the keyboard. I am, fearlessly, telling that I will do travels this year, with my wonderful friends.

January. My very first, after a year to visit Baguio.

February. My first time to go to Puerto Galera, Mindoro. Two days of beach and partying by the Galera beach. I have other planned trips, but unsure of, like a second Baguio trip, and a Clark trip for the Hot Air Balloon Festival.

July. Legaspi, Albay, with my mom. I want to just look at how perfect the cone is. And breathe fresh air.

Still July. Malaysia. One of the top 10 most visited countries. Ride the Genting cable car. Play some casino game. Stare at the Petronas.

More of July. Laos. A beautiful country. A lot of rich history in here. Waterfalls, temples, mountains. May be like the Philippines. I have to go to believe.

Farther July. Kota Kinabalu. Foreign beaches. Probably not the best, but by the sound of the place, it's pretty interesting.

November. Brunei. A country of rich culture and religion. Excited for this one...

Mid November. Boracay. Need not elaborate. Just perfect!

November still. Naga, Camarines Sur. Camoroan Beach.

HAIL TO MY JOURNEY... But there is one thing I'm really most excited about. Something I cannot risk of not happening, so I'm not telling.

Floral Emotions.

Eagerness. Having or showing keen interest, intense desire, or impatient expectancy.

Anxiety. A state of uneasiness and apprehension, as about future uncertainties.

Triumph. A significant success or noteworthy achievement.

Grief. Deep mental anguish, as that arising from bereavement.

Longing. A strong persistent yearning or desire, especially one that cannot be fulfilled.

Anguish. Excruciating or acute distress, suffering, or pain.

Cheerfulness. A condition of supreme well-being and good spirits.

Gloom. To look, feel, or act sullen or despondent.

Amazement. A state of extreme surprise or wonder; astonishment.

Jealousy. Feeling resentment against someone because of that person's
rivalry, success, or advantages.

Glee. Exultant high-spirited joy; merriment.

Inspiration: Silhouette

       On December 20, 2011 just before a Christmas party, I met with two of my friends, John and Nancy, at the Mall of Asia. We decided to take our time to talk about stuff we cared about over some few drinks.

Inspiration: Nature

'Inspiration: Nature' is the very first web photo album I made posted on Facebook. For the link and if you want me to add as your friend on Facebook. Click on Aron Facebook Inspiration: Nature

Here are some of my favorites from this album.

Photography. The Long Been Undiscovered Hobby.

The web has very technical definitions of the word 'photography'. In fact, they become too technical I can only understand if I studied photography in schools. Nonetheless, the best definition there is of the word - what else, but mine.

My definition. I and the camera. That is photography!


The very first camera I really owned is the Canon EOS 400D which my brother used to have. I bought it at a considerable amount and started shooting with the camera. I have too many inspirations in mind. Probably the easiest inspiration will be NATURE. As they say, shooting nature will always be beautiful. So, if I did nature as my first inspiration, then my work shall always be, and will always be, beautiful.
