Going to and from field work in Oriental Mindoro gave me the chance to appreciate the beauty of Calapan Bay. I was billeted in Calapan Bay hotel, a stone's throw away from Calapan City pier. For the first 3 days, I was disappointed. It was always raining. On the 4th and 5th day of my stay in the hotel, bright sunny mornings greeted me. It was a break from gloomy breakfasts.
Initially, I thought it was just an ordinary daily scene. But then peeping through the grills of the fence that separates the sea and the hotel, I noticed some people gleaning (it was a lowtide). Again, another dramatic scene I always wanted to capture through my lenses. So, I dashed back to my room and grabbed my camera backpack and in minutes, I was shooting the beautiful scenery. Thus for three mornings, what could be better than enjoying morning sun, sniffing the salty sea air, savoring your coffee while admiring this God-given scenery? Lovely, isnt't it?

However, I did not have much chance of capturing Calapan Bay by nightfall. It was either raining at night or too late when I reach the hotel from field work. I had a full week and felt drained and sometimes I would just doze off until dinner time.
When it was dinnertime on my second to the last night in the hotel, a beautiful sunset became a reliever to my worn out body. Again, I ran back to my room to get my camera! (I seem to have a penchant of not bringing my camera with me! Well, it happens. Besides I had to dine and not shoot.).
Thinking that sunsets happen so fast I felt I had to do it again. Unlike my other previous sunset photos, it was not very dramatic, but then, sunsets always fascinates me. I was careful not to have camera shake as I did not have a tripod with me (Yeah, a lame excuse!). I tried on some, but I only made some good shots, especially in some long exposures, and increasing the ISO is the only way to have it fast.

Look at the way my friend Wesley Virgin's report starts with this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.
Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.
THESE are the EXACT same methods tons of famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNTAPPED.
Maybe that expression has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years back, while riding an unregistered, trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and $3.20 in his pocket.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I get my big break?"
You've been a part of those those types of questions, right?
Your very own success story is waiting to start. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
