Sudden Tagaytay Trip: On the Road to People's Park in the Sky

The heat was so unbearable today! So when the group decided to proceed to People's Park in the Sky from Picnic Grove, some of us stayed behind in the van. While the rest took advantage of the time to doze off, I took my trusty D40x and took some shots of the surroundings.

Here are some of them:

Sudden Tagaytay Trip: Villa Pura Backyard Photoshoot

My wife & I woke up feeling refreshed from the other night's long drive. Our rest house at Villa Pura was so nice. The other night, our companions played great music while we munched on chips and ice cream. We ended up sleeping at around 3AM already.

While having coffee, I decided to roam around the backyard of the rest house and took pictures of some random things that caught my eye.

Here are some of the things that I ended up taking pictures of:

Starbucks + Star Wars Repost

Saw this tweet just now. It was twitted last September and I missed it due to my heavy work load then. SithLord229 reposted my Instagram snapshot of Artoo and Threepio with a Starbucks drink on his tumblr.

Thanks SithLord! I appreciate it :)

Starbucks & Star Wars? A man after my own heart! Great Instagram snap by Israel M. Vinuya (@israelv) over at … tmblr.co/Z1WSAyTCAxkD

Hasbro Toy Fair 2012 at SM Fairview

I'm surprised to find out that there is a Hasbro Toy Fair at SM Fairview when my wife and I went there yesterday.

So today we went back to so I could take pictures of some of the large Transformers statues there. I checked out some of the Transformers figures on sale but there was only a limited selection. I think there were even more Baby Alive items on sale. I saw some KRE-O Transformers and they somewhat resemble Lego. Since I love Lego, my interest was piqued :)

Here are some of the shots I took earlier. These are from the movie version of Transformers:

My entry was included in the Hall of Fame Top 24 for November's "Reflection" Theme by IPicture

My entry made it as one of the Hall of Famers for last month's "Reflection" Theme in IPicture! :)

When my wife and I traveled to Baguio early in the year, the Pool of Pines easily became one of my favorite subjects. It has that quality that soothes and relaxes you. The reflection of the outreached trees is truly mesmerizing.

Can't wait to be back...
