oh well hai!

i have been oot and a aboot the philippines for this lunar year celebration.

however, it seems that any holiday this year is not the same without family. anyways, i believe the philippines is somewhere i would definitely be going back to. there are 7000 islands and i only visited 4.

i apologize for the lack and perhaps quality of photos. due to technical and weather difficulties, most of these pictures were just snapped out of luck.
