Kudos ILOCOS : La Paz Sand Dunes and other Side Trips
Run for Ilog Pasig : 11.20.2011
The Pasig River is a 27km body of water in the Philippines. Through the years, the River fell victim to the urbanization of Manila. Pasig River was biologically dead as declared by Danish Int'l Development Agency. Main reasons were cited to be industial pollution, solid and liquid waste dumping, and urban migration.

This is a story of a puppy who was rescued from the hands of sunog-baga (drunkards). Minutes late and he should had been the pulutang azucena (illegal delicacy in some parts of the Philippines made of dog meat. ugh!)
After an hour of beseeching those sunog-baga not to cook this helpless puppy, they finally let it go but with a condition -- buy them more alcohol. Geez, those as**s!*sigh*
still shivering after that traumatic experience
"Don't let them eat me", with puppy eyes... literally.
gaaaah. can you see the fear in his eyes? @_@

Blog Test. Test 1. Test 2.
c.2010 La Paz Sand Dunes, Ilocos Norte |
Just when I thought that I won't ever join the sea of bloggers...now here I am, typing my first post. haha. You see, I'm too busy rather, too lazy to maintain one and it's been my favorite "palusot" every time someone would ask my blog site/blog link.
I'm an Exploration Geologist. Go google what I do. Yes, I travel but not as often during my undergraduate years. Hectic schedule at work has been eating my free weekends. Ugh.
I love taking photos of almost everything. Yes, you'll find it out pretty soon in the next posts. I've got a lot of unpublished photos simply because I've posted enough photos for that day and turned out I had another list of photos to upload the next day and the following day and the day after next....So, brace yourself. Random photos coming.
I'm a Geologist.
I'm a Lakwatsera*.
I'm a Photographer.
Thus, Lakwatserang Geologist PhotoBlog. (insert sound effect: tadaaaaa!!!)
*Lakwatsera - vernacular term for traveler, explorer (?) haha
PS: Thanks Ate Nin for this awesome idea. <3
