Chocolate Hills, Bohol

When you search Bohol in google, you probably end up with pictures of the famous Chocolate Hills. Well, here are some of my pictures in my latest visit of this popular tourist spot in Carmen, Bohol.  If you happen to be in the area soon, never forget to take your own version of the Chocolate Hills jump shot. ;)

Wedding Reception at Be Resorts

A couple of months ago, my officemate Lhei Rosales married her long time boyfriend Jericho Canete.  They held their wedding reception at the Be Resorts in Punta Engano, Mactan.  The resort is an awesome place to hold a beach weeding or a reception. Here is some of the pictures I took during that wonderful day in June.

Alona Beach Bohol during the day

 I recently went with family and friends to Bohol recently and we stayed at the famed Alona Beach in Panglao. The nice thing about Alona Beach is that the beach is not owned by a single resort. There are several resorts and restaurants located at that long strip of white beach.

 Here I am posing at the beach and really enjoying seeing it for the first time.

 By the time the purplish sunset came, we already enjoyed taking pictures, doing jumpshots, and even downing some bottles of San Mig Light.

The next morning, it was all about doing fun activities at the beach as well as sightseeing.  Alona Beach is probably one the best beaches in the Philippines.  You can truly enjoy a day at the beach without spending much compared to the expensive resorts in the neighboring Cebu.  This place reminds of those rustic beaches in Bantayan, Cebu with more options on food and accommodation.  If only Bohol is just a drive away, I would probably be in Alona everyday.

June 2013 Weddings: Laing-Polotan Nuptials

June has always been the favorite month for couples to tie the knot.  I was lucky to be invited to 2 weddings last month and I found out that weddings are also one of the best events to take some really nice photos.  Here are some photos I took for the first wedding I attended last month:
