Mt. Pinatubo crater lake, Philippines. Mt. Pinatubo was the last stop on our memorable Philippines trip. The crater lake is big and its unique unworldly blue color is due to sulphur content. The water is safe to swim in, as my friend demonstrated by diving in! #1 was shot from the place where people are standing in #2. It was noon and the skies are blown out and the multi-hued mountainous crater...

...potato hanging out my mouth, you honestly think i want to answer your retarded questions?! I mean come ON! I don't care if you're not aware of half the things that go on here.

On the way to Mt. Pinatubo crater, Philippines. As we walked on our way to the Mt. Pinatubo crater, we passed through several kilometres of hilly terrain, small valleys and streams. They're all composed of volcanic ash and rocks, results of the pyroclastic flows and volcanic ash throw up by the volcano's 1991 eruption . The photos (and the actual surroundings) are pretty dull in color and...

...were also there anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to pick them up from there. The fun didn't stop there though. During the entire day, I was keeping in touch with my friend Cristina who's staying in the Philippines (see day 3) via text. She said if I was gonna be around Manila, we'd try to meet up... and that we did out of the blue. I was mentioning to her before I left for SM that I was gonna head there...

...he got used to me pretty quickly.  There's nothing like the easy acceptance of young kids. Though things have been thankfully low key late, I did manage to swing a visit to the University of the Philippines, my parents' alma mater.  My Godmom even took me to my dad's old "hangout" (a rundown-looking balcony in their Arts and Sciences building), where they spent their time in between classes. ...
