Winter Solstice

Something good happened yesterday. My only wish for Christmas was granted - to spend a perfect Christmas with Sweetypie♥. And hindi naman ako binigo ni Lord. On the way home in a cab ride, I saw na ang beautiful ng moon. Yun pala winter solstice.

Moon

Winter solstice! Yesterday marks the shortest length of daytime and the longest length of night time. Sunset is earlier and sunrise is a bit late. If you live in the northern hemisphere (say, Canada, Europe or USA), sunrise is approximately 8-9am and sunset is 4pm. If you live within or near the Arctic Circle, which lies 60 degrees above the equator, then you won’t see Mr. Sun. You have to wait for the next three months. Total darkness for the next three months. In other news, Australia, Argentina, south Brazil and New Zealand will be celebrating their Christmas and New Year at the beach. It’s summer in the southern hemisphere. Pretty cool, eh?

Sunset 5

I am starting to love sunsets... those golden sun rays are so beautiful. However, sunrises are still my love. They are very hard to capture because I love sleeping. However, whenever I happen to see sunrise, I feel hopeful throughout the day. I wish I could capture the beauty of sunrises too.

Potipot Adventure with the FA Team

I photo blogged last month about a weekend I spent with Sese, Charm and my former teammates. It was a weekend well spent. We went to Potipot - a small island in the province of Candelaria, Zambales. From the scorching heat of the city, we rented a van and drove more than 6 hours all the way to Zambales through NLEX.

After many hours of falling asleep and waking up to the team's laughter...... we finally arrived at the Dawal Resort. The team rented an over night room good for 6 people. The resort is clean and not crowded. The place is very cozy and great for relaxation.

But this is really not what we came here for. We came for that island not far away.

To get to the island, we rented a boat good for 6 people for Php400.00 pesos back and forth na yun. And 100.00 each as entrance to the Potipot Island.

This is a first time in this island for everyone of us. Charm has this goal to get a photograph of the Sunset and Sunrise so we agreed to go the island immediately after we arrived. We are not gonna waste a sunset with the look of that lovely white beach.

We were not dissapointed kahit na sobrang layo ng nilakbay namen para makarating lang dito. It was a journey worth all the hardships. The small island pristine. The water so clear.
