A Trip To The Unknown

Yesterday lhb and i went with a group of other photography enthusiasts to a place called Liliw. It was definitely a trip to the unknown for me because i was never the outdoorsy type. But because i knew it was a place with waterfalls (which i love!), it was a trip that i didn't want to pass up. It was a long drive but i must say it was worth every minute. On our way to Liliw, we stopped along the road to take pictures of the fields and mountains. The sights that we saw along the way were breathtaking. I loved it. Once we got to our destination, we had to park our cars at a certain area, eat lunch then walk to the falls. It was around a 15-20 minute walk. To my amazement there were a lot of people. There were even people camping out. Being photo enthusiasts, we couldn't leave or bring our cameras just anywhere. And we couldn't just take and take pictures with the people in it. But with the number of people around, it was difficult to take a good shot from where we were. So a bunch of us left our things (with lhb at first) and only with our precious cameras in hand(and a few tripods), we walked across the rocks (which weren't tiny, flat and evenly sized!) and sat down (or at least tried to) near the water/river. Being the only girl in that particular group it wasn't easy at all to walk across. I had to give all my things to my other friends because i couldn't climb the rocks without holding on to the surrounding rocks. It was slippery! And when i got to the other side i literally wanted to just lie down and rest. But i couldn't because there was hardly anything to sit down on. And my sole purpose for going there was to take pictures, which i did. And i was very happy :) The people i were with were wonderful! They helped me take great pictures (great for my standards at the very least:)). Luckily lhb was able to leave our things with another friend of ours and was able to join us. After getting our things, we also went to the middle part of the river where the water was calmer and took more pictures. It was a fabulous trip. On our way back, we had dinner together. Then a few of us still went to a gasoline station to take pictures of the highway. We parted ways at around 1030 pm. It was a fun fun day :) I cannot wait till the next trip :)


*today i am thankful for new found friends and hobbies :) I am also thankful for the safe trip we had yesterday.
