Going Home




The saddest part of a trip to Boracay is leaving it. I had to separate these photographs from the Boracay Trip 2006 folder because of a different melancholic gaze of the camera upon the setting sun. Photos courtesy of дима ларионов.

  18. Yeah, I like it talaga. Six novels in all, brillantly done! I had them all dati, now kulang ng isa. May humiram ata. I can't find the missing one, "Caesar's Women" kasi eh. Eto o, this one's "CAESAR" Its the fifth book. Heheh.

    Right now i'm [trying to] read "Baudolino" by Umberto Eco, yung di ko pa nabasa sa 3 Ecos I bought a year ago. Hahaha!

  21. Hey Pare. My daughter (Lenora) saw your pics, and said she would like to paint this cloud view. Lenora and I are both amateur photographers. Glad to see your work. -Bruce

  22. Hi Bruce, I am glad that you liked the photos, but one thing though, I dint take these photos, it was taken by one of our companions during the trip. He is Dmitry Larionov, a former Russian exchange student at the University of the Philippines. He came with us during the trip and he took these while we were in the plane going home from Boracay. Let me know if she finishes her painting, and maybe you can take photos of it too and post it. :)
