Congrats on your AC! Stay safe! I remember well walking down the street to my house in Cavite in knee deep water with the fish from the sea bumping into my legs! You live in such a wonderful country with amazing friendly helpful caring people. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: April 9, 2008 Comments: 71

Thanks for the support. I did not know that I made it to AC... I was supposed to go through this flood but I saw this big rig and I changed my mind. I'm only driving a small AUV... We still have rains pouring as we speak, but we are hoping for better conditions tomorrow... Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: November 13, 2005 Comments: 26

I'm Andrew and I come from the Philippines but I have chinese blood running through my veins. I love shooting photographs of Mother Earth and Mother Nature. Unfortunately, I've been out of the hobby for quite some time now and I'm just beginning to enjoy it once again. Most of my shots will be here in my own country. So come and see the Philippines, through my pictures, the way I see it in my eyes. ^_^v Thanks for viewing! Ratings and/or comments are very much appreciated! I have so much more to learn.
