incessant rambling

this is a series of pictures i took in lakawon island, negros occidetal. like old gnarled hands, the trees grow along the beachfront and makes an interesting collective subject. i added the woman to this set, she's probably as ancient as the trees.

they say meeting people is never coincidental, there is a reason for every encounter and your life is enriched or made a little bit sadder by each and every meeting. in this stage called earth, and the comedy called life i had the chance to meet characters that made this particualr chapter a happy one. some offer young exuberant innocence whereas some offer the laid back attitude of a person fulfilled. memories have a nasty habit of fading and names forgotten, this is my way of making sure this chapter never fades. cheers to everyone and as a dear friend of mine said, we never say goodbye - we say... until next time. the cast of characters starting from the upper left: enzo - i suspect he is taking uppers with his endless questions. he was the only one who was up early in the morning running around looking for me. inday - dare i say the real name? in this paradise she blossomed freely myka - if peter pan was a girl.. victor - dating boyfriend ni gina de venecia he he he. he's the b...
