POSTCARDS | Stairways to Heaven

Friday, June 22, 2012

I found myself thinking about my travels a few days ago while having my morning coffee; it has exactly been a month since I last had a real long trip. Later that same afternoon, I got a call from PHILTOA asking if I wanted to join a tour of the Ifugao the next day. The answer of course was obvious, most especially since I won’t be spending a single cent for the trip.

Fast forward 36 hours later and I’m staring dumbstruck at the veranda of our room in Banaue. The photo above is a tribute to my very first camera, my Canon Powershot S3IS which had been an invaluable tool that literally changed the direction of my life. The photo is one of the last photographs it captured today as its internal sensor finally gave out.

  2. awww.. wag iiyak. hihihi! kaya mo naman ng bumili ng tone-toneladang camera for sure. Pero sayang pa rin.

    Ang ganda talaga sa banaue noh? Kung hindi lang masakit sa pwet at nakaka-hulas ng make up ang lugar na yan, gugustuhin kong pumunta. Kaso maarte ako e. hahaha! Dati may nakita pa-kong heartshape na tanim ng palay. Ang kyot! sana nakita mo rin. Wag mong ipa-googlemap sakin ha. lol!
