Blog Announcement!

I have created a new blog, not in multiply though,even though this is convenient and guarantees that whateve's posted will somehow, someway be read by someone.

The title is temporary until we think of a new one --- or it may stay that way if we don't. This blog will have everything and anything related to the wedding. Right now, its still a little bare, but updates will follow since things have started happening.

Do drop by and visit it sometime: http://allanandsocs.blogspot.com/

Home Improvement

I promised myself a few months back that I would buy a few things for the apartment that would make it fee a little more like home. Last month, I splurged a bit and went ahead and bought a TV and an area rug for the living area.

I'm still missing decor, shelves, hangings on the wall and maybe even curtains, but at least now I have one area where I would want to spend a little more time in...

From this, to this:

It isn't much yet, but I think I've found the optimal furniture arrangement that would work for my space.

Batanes Day 5 - From sun up til sundown

Our last full day in Batanes started early...we walked for an hour in darkness in order to make it to Valugan Bay to watch and capture the sunrise. It was my first ever attempt at taking photos at that time of the day, and since it was a cloudy morning, I ended up playing with my flash. The result gave me lovely morning colors with lit subjects --- if only sunrise werent so early, I'd shoot more often at that time of the day.

Our third attempt at capturing sunset was spent at Shanedel's Inn. We were going to shoot and then have dinner -- in that order. The sunset was better than the past attempts, though it could have been better.
