Nomadic Video 7: Yogyakarta

November 28, 2013

I could not wait to start writing about my trip to Yogyakarta, but a lack of time and too much procrastination in between disallowed me from diving straight in. However, I was able to put together, in a hurried state, a music video of the random footage I had taken while walking around that interesting city and visiting the temple complexes of both Borobudur and Prambanan. As a preview of my future blog posts about that journey of mine, here it was with The Byrds' "Turn! Turn! Turn!" serving as the soundtrack.

Nomadic Video 6: Romblon

July 29, 2012
The music of the Clash's "Police on my Back" provides the necessary beat to this random video footage I shot during our trip to Romblon last May. There were no police chasing us, just us hot on the trail of new places to see and experience. From the long 10-hour sea journey, toploading and island hopping from Romblon, Romblon to Sibuyan and back to Tablas island, eye popping scenery were the normal things to be seen. Judging a bikini open contest, festival food coma and spelunking in the beautiful island of Cobrador, meeting the friendly locals and some members of the indigenous tribe, made it a lock in maximizing my five day trip to this wonderful province - also the hometown of my friend Dazzle, who continued to incursion around the province for the next 20 days together with another travel blogger and photographer Josiah Strong. 

Nomadic Video 5: Mount Pulag, Benguet

May 27, 2012
I used to do a lot of hiking way back during College years, when my knee joints and legs muscles are still in top notch condition. Lately, all the climbing I do are on the LRT and MRT stairs, I even curse everytime I come across a busted escalator. But that's about to change since I now have my own tent, cookset, an ever improving stamina and a desire to chill in ultra cold peaks. I was re-introduced again to hiking when Christine, an avid climber and runner pitched the idea of a weekend atop Mount Pulag. I hurriedly said yes, since I missed out an opportunity to climb Mt. Pulag at least thrice during my hiking days, for reasons varying from lack of allowance money, conflict with university class schedule and other factors. It was an awesome weekend spent together with fellow travelers Gay, her husband Sherv, Izah, her boyfriend Joseph, master photographer Erick and Olay, with special mention to our pretty guide, Ditas - who will be wrapping up her education course at the University of Baguio in the coming university year. Here is a music video I created from the limited material I shot around Mount Pulag. The song is "Umagang Kay Ganda", which was covered by the band Bamboo.

Nomadic Video 4: Laguna Lakers (San Pablo, Liliw, Nagcarlan)

April 29, 2012

Since I started traveling around the Philippines three or four years ago, I've been to Mindanao, Visayas and the edge of Northern Luzon, doing so I was able to overlook nearby provinces like Laguna. Because of that realization, along with a couple of cool friends, Cathy and Abigail, we set out on a trip to a menage a trois of cities and municipalities in Laguna.

Nomadic Video 3: Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum | Cambodia

November 19, 2011

It was hard to write something about that place. It was hard enough being there with all your human emotions all over the place. It was more difficult to walk around and stare at the nameless portraits of those who died there. The air inside was that of modern-day peacetime, but the presence of the walls that surrounded you told of an unspoken grim and brutal past.

Nomadic Video 2: Angkor Wat

November 11, 2011

There was the music video featuring the various moving images of Angkor Wat and the many temples surrounding it. I made sure I was able to shoot enough scenes, as that had been the trip I had been wanting to make for the longest time.

Nomadic Video 1: Masskara Festival

August 29, 2011

I've been wanting to make a music video of some of my trips but haven't really sat down and edit some video clips. It doesn't help when my phone with a respectable video quality was stolen off inside the LRT last December, taking along with it countless video clips which, unfortunately wasn't transferred yet to my laptop. I had a blast putting this music video out in an hour of editing and exploring the controls of "Windows Live Movie Maker", but with the limited video clips I was happy at the result. Plus the song of the Pixies, "Where is My Mind" made it a bit better.
