“There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together” ~ Henry Wadsworth
Each day after my miscarriage, I’ve tried to deal with my emotions and feelings. I try to be strong and yet I feel so weak inside.
Just some photos I took of water droplets some time back…
After two months of not updating this photoblog, I have some sad news.
I lost my baby last May 16. As mentioned in a previous post in my main blog, I was pregnant with my second baby.
Unfortunately for me and my family, I had a miscarriage after a 4 day stay in the hospital because of bleeding. It was disappointing, sad and depressing… I can’t find all the words to explain how sad I feel.
I’ve always wanted to have another child. My first daughter is six years old and I guess it’s about time to have another child.
We had plans for the baby… Plans that are now useless. I feel so sad…
This picture represents the longing I have for another baby. I don’t know… It kind of reminds me of how I cuddle up with my first daughter… This was taken in Baguio Orchidarium during my last visit there.
Flickr’s Interestingness still, and will always baffle flickritis around the world when it comes to choosing pictures for Explore.
There are lots of things that make a photo ‘interesting’ (or not) in the Flickr. Where the clickthroughs are coming from; who comments on it and when; who marks it as a favorite; its tags and many more things which are constantly changing. Interestingness changes over time, as more and more fantastic photos and stories are added to Flickr.
A long time in the making, interestingness is a ranking algorithm based on user behavior around the photos taking into account some obvious things like how many users add the photo to their favorites and some subtle things like the relationship between the person who uploaded the photo and the people who are commenting (plus a whole bunch of secret sauce).
Here are some photos of mine from flickr that got ‘explored’:
This picture is my ‘highest’ ranking picture in flickr. It reached #24 last November 9. This was taken in Santiago Cove, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. It is a perfect disc-shaped shore. I first went here when I was still in college.
One of my favorite pictures. This is a couple walking in Burnham Park Lake, Baguio City, Philippines.
The picture below was taken in Mines View Park. Early morning fog is not uncommon here in Baguio City. Mines View Park, as its name suggests, provided a view of the mines, particularly those owned by the Benguet Corp.
Still taken in Mines View Park. This time, a shot of the observation deck.
These pictures were taken at Asin Road, Baguio City, Philippines. People are one of my favorite subjects and I was lucky to take pictures of these enthusiastic kids from an elementary school there.
Birds of Paradise flowers. Taken in Botanical Garden, Baguio City, Philippines.
A flower given to me by my husband…
This was taken with my Nokia N70 Camera Phone…

A Chinese temple near SLU Hospital…
Fog in Baguio
Web with water droplets…
Macro of flowers. Macro photography is very interesting and I love it. I used a Canon S3is on this one, in Super Macro mode. I love this feature of my S3is and I highly recommend the camera for beginners. Saving up for a Nikkor micro lens… :)

SQ or Sayote Queen is a photography enthusiast from Baguio City, Philippines. She thinks photography rocks. She is more of an outdoor photographer who loves to shoot (not literally) anything under the sun.
One of her favorite quotes in photography : "I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting. ~ Harry Callahan"
