|  | Anticipating a fine weathered weekend, I decided to go on a quest to find the ugliest spot on the beach of Hac-sa here in Macau thinking how can i make it more attracting to would be tourists or visitors. It's been quite a challenge because it may end up wrong or a disaster if i don't make it right. Tourists and guests will be disgusted or turned away to see how hideous Macau is through my pictures. And it will be all my fault. By the way, Hac-sa Beach is already really hideous compared to the beaches we had there in Boracay or Bohol. And I am photographically challenged to accept this personal mission.
After all the troubles getting there, the traffic, long ride, long walk, etc., my personal assessment on my shots would be FAIR. Nothing extraordinary, as we sometimes say it, less is more. DUH! Ang layo ah?!
This album is dedicated to my photo buddies, Sir Allan S. (Nikon D300) and Sir Allan P. (Nikon D80), who went to Hong Kong without me. Due to financial constraint, I end up with this personal mission of mine. Hehehe! Pangontra inggit kasi alam ko iinggitin ako nila. Hahaha! And to all my idols... you know who you are. You are the reason why I do these things.

Comments & Critiques are very welcomed! (Don't be afraid to say how ugly these shots are! I won't bite you! Just be honest... hehehe)

| | Nestled along San Juan, Batangas' wide sandy coast is a family getaway haven like no other. This is a down-to-earth place - thatched roof cottages, uncluttered stretches of clean sand, few visitors, and warm bonfires.
Upon arriving, a welcome drink of Balai's own tamarind concoction prepares you for kicking back and enjoying your weekend stay.
Whether its to get away from the noise of the city, or to frolic in the sun, or to celebrate a momentous occasion you will discover that Balai sa Laiya is simply... perfect.
