I like taking pictures of power lines. you can take some nice little arty shots if you get it right. this one is alright but nothing spectacular. I like it because it looks black and white but it's not just a real flat day.

Picture of the Day (with a story to go with it)

This is a place called Piha on the wild west coast of New Zealand. It's about 45mins from Auckland City. I grew up in Piha so I'll probably be posting a lot of pics.
I almost died in Piha surfing. Theres a lot of jagged Rocks and caves all around the west coast. I was surfing with one of my friends just around the bay from this photo. I caught a big wave and ended going over the falls. I got smashed by a few waves and when I came up I was right against the rocks. A cave was about 5 meters away from me and the current was sucking me in there. That was about the freakiest time of my life because I couldn't see what was in the cave. So I ended up getting sucked in the cave which was like a washing machine. Very freaky. I got stuck in there for over an hour until I managed to climb up onto a ledge then climb out of the cave. My board was smashed already. I climbed out of the cave and sat on a perch. I decided I wasn't going anywhere until a helicopter came to save me haha. while I was in the cave my friend had gone to get the life guards so they ended up coming round in their IRB (rescue boat) to save me. I tell you that was the best sight of my life. I thanked the lord at that point because I thought that was it for me :D.

These pictures are taken of Lion Rock. From some angles it really looks like a lion sitting down but you can't really tell from these pics.

Chuva lang

Ito. Meron na akong nahanap na mga Filipino doon sa NZ. Buti naman. Kung ako lang ayaw kong lumipat doon pag nag asawa na kami. Mas gusto ko parin ang Pilipinas kahit saan bansa na akong nakapunta, dito parin ang aking puso. Siguro masyadong malakas yung hatak ng aking ugat dito saatin.

Ikikilala ko ang aking mga kababayan doon para naman meron parin akong mga makausap na Pinay palagi kung mapadpad man ako doon!

My fun surf trip

Well, Me and a few friends decided to go on a camping trip to Hot water Beach on Friday night. It's about an hour away from where I live. It's called Hot water Beach because hot springs come out of the sand. You can literally see the sand boiling in spots. All you need to do is dig a hole in the sand at low tide and voila! You have a hot pool. Pretty cool yea?

Anyway we went up there because it has a really fun surf break. It turned out to be pumping! As you can tell by the pics. We actually went up there not expecting too much but it turned out to be so much fun. The wind was pretty hard offshore but then it died down. We camped there on the beach that night then got up at 4:00 am (low tide) and dug a hole. It was so nice to lie in a hot pool looking up at the stars feeling the cold wind sweep across your face. The surf break is just behind us in the pic. After we were too hot we went out and caught some more fun waves! It was an all around good camping trip topped off with good waves and really hot, hotpools.
