Bataan


Some members of the office's camera club arranged to do some shoot at Bataan in hope of winning the Canon EOS 7D. Borrowed my brother's driver and car for our trip to Bataan. If not, I won't even attempt of going there by bus (what with all my gear?). Also, invited my friend to join us.

Woke up really early as our meeting place is at BDO branch in New York, Cubao at 6AM. While on the way, there were already a lot of stories and jokes exchanged, you don't have time to sleep. Stopped at McDonald's in NLEX for our breakfast. Used the SCTEX route to reach Bataan.

Upon reaching Bataan, our first stop is Mt. Samat where the Dambana ng Kagitingan (Shrine of Valor) can be found. It was built in memory of the soldiers of World War II.

We spent sometime there, enjoying the view and capturing through our lenses its beauty.

For lunch, we went to a friend's house of one in our group. We were served hipon (shrimp), kare-kare, inihaw na bangus, sylvannas, ice cream, etc. (BURP!)

We also did some shooting there, with the host's young son as our model. Of course, the rest of the group must have their chance infront of the camera. LOL

Since it is kind of late when we left our host, we decided to skip the Pawikan Center and proceed to Balanga Church. Also captured it with our camera.

We arrived Manila around 8PM. Dropped each near their place. Since still have groceries needed for Christmas, dropped by The Landmark to buy some groceries (the mall's extended their operating hours by two hours) and had dinner at a Venetto Pizzeria Ristorante.
