multiply revisited: awed in batanes

Back when life was simpler and uncomplicated, when all I cared about was myself, I had wanderlust. Back in the summer of 2006, I embarked on a journey to beautiful Batanes, one of the northernmost remote islands of the Philippines.

I'd thought I wanted to share a few pictures of my travel back in 2006.

photos were from my old and now dying blog host: http://capncrisp.multiply.com

SG and back again

quiet anticipation

this skyline may have already changed

chinatown

It will be 6 years since I've last been to the Merlion City. It was the time when we accompanied my sister to start work in a foreign land. Life is hard in Manila and she's looking to grab at the opportunities made available there. 

She has since found a boyfriend, got engaged and married. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last year. The family kept in touch with each other through Skype and Facebook. 

In the coming days, the record streak will be broken! We're going to Singapore! This time with my wife and my own baby in tow. We'll be there for only a few days but we're ready to make new memories.

Ill try to post new photos of Singapore 2012 soon.

goodbye multiply

dear multiply,


I was caught unaware that you have ceased to hold my photos, articles and videos. I know haven't been faithfully keep you up to date since Twitter and Facebook came along. In spite of it all, I've never treated them the same as I have treated you. I told you of my travels, shared with you my photos. I told you my life. I told you of my love story with the woman I will marry. I shared things which inspired me.

Now i heard that you'll be leaving and you changed careers. I'm mad that you sold out. 

I understand. You have to survive. You became a souvenir of a once vibrant era. I hope you'll make the transition easy. I won't forget you though. I'll remember you here. I'll share my old stories perhaps. my old pictures too. Maybe someday we'll meet again. maybe in a different form.
