The End

I'm officially giving up on BatangBaler starting today. This is my last post. Something happened. I still want to live.

Cuaresma

For those waiting for Holy Week pictures, so sorry. I really took a break. In fact i'm still reeling from all the foods and alcohols I took last week. Check out the beach:



Good Friday Picnickers. The beach to the right.



The beach to the left.

Hand

Just experimenting with the nighshot setting while waiting for the electric lines to be fixed. March 20 brownout at a Suklayin drinking session. It's just Donnel's hand covering a candle.

Chatroom

How about a live chat with fellow Balerians? Let's populate the new Batangbaler Chatroom. Just go to www.batangbaler.net/chat.

9th Aurora Surfing Cup: Kidlat Pictures Pt. 1

Before this website shuts down again for bandwidth exhaustion, here are my pics. I saved them for last because these are mostly people pics. Just a few water pictures because the camera i was using can't zoom enough to distinguish a surfer from a flying fish.
