Photo walking: Scenes of Cebu City’s streets

Couple... holding hands. Sweet.

It was my rest day. I was bored and alone in my room. I decided to walk around the streets and took pictures. This idea was actually suggested by my co-worker who is also fond of taking pictures. He coined it – PHOTOWALKING.

Q. – What exactly is a Photowalk ?

A. – A photowalk is the act of walking around with your camera and photographing your surroundings. Recently the term has become synonymous with a group of photographers, walking in predetermined locations and then sharing their imagery. Alone or with a group, the purpose is still the same and that is to go out and shoot.

Let’s Talk It Over: Saint Theresa’s College High School Graduation 2012

A week ago, Saint Theresa’s College was unknown to many. But right now, the school becomes popular in the whole Philippines, perhaps the whole wide world.

How it became popular?

The school apparently banned their students from attending graduation rites after they posted sexy bikini photos of themselves on their Facebook profile. Saint Theresa’s College in the central city of Cebu said the 16-year-old had broken a rule which bans posting Internet pictures that show “ample body exposure”, and barred the student from her graduation ceremony. (Source: ABS-CBNnews.com Cebu girl sues school over Facebook bikini photo punishment) That news was posted last March 28, 2012.

It caused sleepless nights over their children. The parents of course sued the school. Having this issue reviewed carefully, the court allowed these students to graduate. (Source: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/video/nation/regions/03/29/12/court-allows-bikini-clad-girl-fb-graduate)

Two days later… 29… 30… Yes, March 30. Graduation came. I read a headline Six students barred from attending graduation rites despite court order 

Now this makes the school more popular.
