I’m so happy that I’m about to reach 100 days for 365. March was an amazing month because it was the first time, after so many years, that my family was complete. We all gathered and enjoyed every day at home, dinner at different restaurants, and went out for a vacation as one whole big family.

My family, especially the families of my three siblings who are now living abroad, arrived because of my wedding. I was married last April 4, 2013 to my wonderful wife, Luz Victoria. Starting at the 3rd week and until the the last week of March, I always took photos of our wonderful moments together as a whole family. Every minute and hour was precious to us.

For this post, I’m sharing to everyone my enjoyment from the 3rd week to 4th week of March 2013 with my family.

I can’t believe I’m still able to continue with this project. Every new day always brings me lots of amazing ideas. Some of it I’ve been able to apply and some I haven’t. Sometimes, I can take lots of different photos and I have a hard time selecting the photo to highlight.

When it comes to concepts, it’s really complicated because I couldn’t achieve it if the requirements are incomplete. Especially since I’m getting married soon, so achieving some ideas could be hard because of all the wedding preparations that need to be done.

But it’s okay because it’s a good and fun experience. We were even thinking of joining again next year and going to shoot from morning until evening so we can make the most of our city’s best festival!

Another 365 for 2013.

Last 2011, I did a project 365 photography and took photos everyday. It was a tiring project because I also needed to think of good titles for each photo. It was the most challenging project for my photography. During that time, I was also a hobbyist. So there were no client photos shared. I did it just to sharpen my skill in photography.

Now that I take photos to earn some cash. So I’m back with my project 365 and I just finished my first month! The project is less stressful now because I no longer force myself to think of cute and awesome titles for each photo.

Happy February love to everyone!

The Fluvial Procession was to start at 7am and boats were gathering at one area in Mandaue City. So at around 6am in Pier One, I already arrived. I tried to enter the parade route and I wasn’t able to enter because my ID was only for the Sinulog main parade. At first I went to the pier side where the boat will dock but it wouldn’t give me a good view for the Fluvial Procession. So, What is Fluvial Procession?

“The day before the parade, the Fluvial Procession is held at dawn with a statue of the Santo Niño carried on a pump boat from Mandaue City to Cebu City, decked with hundreds of flowers and candles. The procession ends at the Basilica where a re-enactment of the Christianizing (that is, the acceptance of Roman Catholicism) of Cebu is performed. In the afternoon, a more solemn procession takes place along the major streets of the city, which last for hours due to large crowd participating in the event.”
~ Wiki

Let’s get back to my story. While waiting for the Galleon where the Señor Santo Niño was carried, people were starting to crowd everywhere near the pier, hoping to get a glimpse of the Galleon as it will pass nearby. However, it was a big letdown to all people because the Galleon did not pass nearby. It just cruised by the middle of sea and went straight to its destination point. People weren’t able to wave their hands and pray for Señor Santo Niño.

It was my first time experience taking photos of the Festival Queen competition for Sinulog 2013. All participants were stunningly beautiful and they performed very well in their stage dances. Not just that, their costumes were amazing, very creative and colorful. It’s really a good night for every photographer! Scroll down to this page and check out all of the photos I’ve posted for everyone to enjoy!

This performer is very good! Even if she was having a hard time with her costume because of the wind, she was still able to dance and perform well.

And everytime I snap a photo of a flower to include in my 365 project, I always get curious about its name. Google search was really complicated. If I search for Philippine native flowers, I can’t find the flower and my only solution was to ask my mother. When I then search for it on Google using my mother’s input, it gives me good results. From my experience in 365 photography of the inclusion of flowers as part of my subjects, here’s my share for those who want to try the project and provide the names of the flowers.

Bombil Flower Corsage Orchid Cosmos Flower Crown Cactus Dancing Ladies Ground Orchid Gumamela Kalachuchi Kalachuchi Orange Lily Phyllanthus Acidus Kalachuchi Santan Unnamed 01 Wild Violet Aster Dahlia Utot-utot Dendrobuim Water Lilies White Brush Head Yellow Bell

If I have given a wrong name to any of the flowers above, please do comment and correct me so that I can rename the flower’s name correctly. For the flowers which have remained unnamed, please comment with the name too. I’ll highly appreciate it. Thanks! :)
