Batanes Vlogs (Redux)

Remember almost three years ago I wrote about my misadventures in Batanes? Well, the end of that post had a YouTube playlist of “vlogs” of said misadventures. I had no clue about video editing at that time, which is more than evident in both the aesthetics and actual #content of the videos themselves.

Fret not, for in the years that followed, my video editing skills have been upgraded to “intermediary” — meaning while I am not ready to edit the next Oscar-winning movie, I am more than competent to make YouTube-worthy videos.

One does not need to believe the supernatural for them to enjoy the atmosphere in a purported supernatural island. Indeed the people enjoy their identity and have in fact embraced it. Just by looking around, their is this… delightful ambiance that I have a hard time putting in to words. Whatever it is, it was enough to charm even a cynic like me.

Byaheng Pandays: Oslob

The Pandays, a motley crew of confused kids, visit Oslob as part of their work’s team outing. They got to experience first hand swimming with the biggest fish in the world — the whale shark. These gentle giants look scary, an adult human can really fit inside their mouths, but they only feed on krill, microscopic shrimp-like creatures. Read on, my dudes!
