Souvenirs from Cebu

These are things I found in Cebu City during my 3 day visit there last summer. There were so many things to look at. Good I was able to capture them. The place to be when it comes to buying souvenir items would be the one inside the compound of Lapu-Lapu monument. There, you can find anything from seashells, guitars, wallets, beaded bracelets, banig bags, and shirts with Cebu logos. Here, take a look..




It's really wonderful how such exquisite products are created out of seashells.


Don't you worry guys, these are not real. No frogs were killed in the process.They are just purely imitated objects made out of leather.



These are all thumb sized key chains that are sold for at least P10 each.

Here, I found these native bags inside Mactan airport. As much as I wanted to buy one, the price was higher than I expected. So I just took one snapshot of it to make my day.

summer leaves

Here are some of the photos I had taken during my island hopping in Cebu this summer. As I was standing under a tree nearby the seashore, I happened to look up and there I saw how vibrant and colorful those leaves were. Later did I realized the leaves had already been dried up. Nevertheless, so elegantly vibrant and beautiful especially when rays of sunlight hit them. I thought the light reflected by the water added colors and life to the leaves. I am so fond of these pictures because these remind me that there is always something good to look forward to...Everything begins and ends well...just like a fallen leaves...

secret garden

Last summer of 2008, my sister and I went to Tagaytay to visit Caleruega Church. That was the second time I saw that place. But the experience was quite different than the first time. I never had a chance to see the beauty of the place the first time I went there. We were having a retreat then with my college classmates, no time to roam around the vicinity. But now, I was able to capture the beauty of the place. Here are some of the beautiful things that made the place so special.
