I am Dam Alone

It was just one of my boring restdays. My budget was tight and I really don't have anybody to ask, this is what I gain for having a weekday off. But I came up with a smarter idea than bumming around and watching TV. So here I was, I found myself going to Wawa Dam, Montalban Rizal.

I have researched for this place along time ago, I heard so much stories, I guess I have been curious enough, I am no photographer, I knew that, I don't even have much time to learn Onin's manual settings but I guess I take fair photos.

I headed to Cubao and take FX going to Montalban, it passed Aurora blvd to Marikina and I think San Mateo going to Montalban. I am very much familiar with this route as it was like a home to me. At the very end of the FX route I reached the town proper, I guess this was not the end of it. I took another jeepney and there passing the beautiful elevated land of Rizal.

Welcomed by the stunning trees

I started my so called photowalk and observed the the small community, pretty much it is just the usual barrio community then, I came far from the summer months so I hardly see any tourist, I find it more interesting though. I really can say..

I am dam alone. :)

I bought candies, softdrinks and cigars, as I told you my budget is tight, I guess that explain everything.

I headed for a short hike going to the raging waters. I heard its sound and it was inviting, Oh no not so brave enough for a dip. I guess It isn't really needed. I took photos as I realized that the sky is getting dark, I arrive late afternoon, Onin's manual settings is really undiscovered so I better be hurry.

I just spend a short time here but it made me think of alot, this was just one of the drama scenes. We jsut had a death in the family and by sitting on top of the tall white rocks made me imagine that I was just close to her, I miss her so much, I never miss someone like the way I fee for her. I love her.

My intention was just to escape metro and take some fair photos, Not much of the observation, I took this time to think of what has happened in my life recently and that is too much personal but enjoyed talking to the locals and of course learn from them. This is just one of the what others call soul searching. maybe I really don't know. But this kind of quick photo escape is really helping alot, It is also fun doing it alone anyway you will never run out people to talk with, believe me it will never be boring. 

 SALAMAT WAWA DAM!!
