I have been to Cebu several times. In fact, I have been to this side of the country 5 times this year. But what I like Cebu is that, everytime I go there, there is always something new that awaits me.
Manila is known for its lovely sunset. But on the southern end of the country, the Shrine City of Dapitan is also known for the same thing: its fiery sunset.

Here’s some of the photos I took two weeks ago during the opening ceremonies of the annual Panaad sa Negros 2009. The opening was highlighted by the Best of the Festivals competition, where the Bailes de Luces Festival of La Castellana emerged as the Grand Champion.

The photo below features sunset at the calm Panay River in Roxas City. I took the photo last November 29, 2008. My trip to Roxas City is memorable to me since this is I guess the only solo trip I had for this year.
Travelling alone is very exciting. It gives me the flexibility to explore a certain place at my own pace, without having to think of other people. I don’t have to worry if my companions are allergic to shrimp or garlic. I don’t have to think if my friends who’ll be travelling with me loves to explore old churches or just hang out in the beach.
Travelling solo gives me all the freedom I want. Whether I will go to a wet market or wake up at five in the morning to shoot sunset, I don’t have to think of the others if they will like my itinerary or not.
