I’ve always loved colors! I love them popping out of magazines, posters, clothes, banners, etc, etc. Bold shades of red, blue, green, orange, pink, and violet are absolutely stunning! I most especially love them popping out of photographs - strong, radiant colors are always eye-catching.

Now, I have never owned a camera. I am blessed to have parents who love photography, and it is always most convenient for me to borrow their equipment. I get to choose between a Canon 350D and a 40D; different lenses; monopods or tripods; and everything else that they call accessories.

For years now, I have been satisfied with just using our Sony Cybershot. I learned a few tricks here and there in editing photographs - to make even the most dull ones come out spectacular!

Using the Canon cameras, however, proved to be a different experience altogether - experimenting has never been so much fun! Contrasting colors of bottles are more emphasized; imperfections of butterflies are visible, yet they still look beautiful; the prints of the decor are more striking; the colors of the flowers are absolutely radiant. Travels are more cherished now as my captured subjects are presented more beautifully, more vibrant.

Who knew I could take pretty pictures? I didn’t! I was just too busy having fun, and getting lucky with my shots! Now, I’ll just have to wait for Santa to go buy me my own camera. Harharhar

Leyte Gulf Travel and Tours (LGTT) was borne primarily out of the need to promote travel and leisure tours to yet untapped and undeveloped tourist destinations in Eastern Visayas (Region VIII) - comprising the provinces of Samar, Eastern Samar, Northern Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte and Biliran; and, secondly, to provide linkage as well to other established leisure and travel agencies both domestic and international.

Spun off as a distinct travel agency separate from that of sister company Family Tours Educational Program (FTEP) - which caters more to domestic educational tours - Leyte Gulf Travel and Tours also handles airline ticketing services as well as other travel arrangements for both domestic and international tourists. LGTT is a duly-authorized agent of Philippine Airlines (PAL), the nation’s flag carrier.

Working hand in hand with the Regional Department of Tourism Office and the Tourism Departments of various Local Government Units in Region 8, LGTT has established pioneering inroads towards further development and promotion of the regional tourism thrust in this part of the country.

Our tour packages offer a wide variety of domestic tour destinations and are designed to ensure a unique learning as well as pleasurable experience. Packages are carefully arranged for quality, exciting destinations and interesting itineraries.

Aside from airline bookings and ticketing, we provide services for hotel accommodations, bus, car, van rentals & other travel necessities.

Leyte Gulf Travel and Tours also handles tour packages to other destinations in the Philippines.

I have always been curious about the online selling and buying world; but it was only in mid-2007 that I decided to take a peek into ebay.ph. I made a couple of purchases there (mostly for our home); had my share of good and bad transactions; and found myself enjoying despite the fact that I wasn’t physically shopping for items.

A few purchases after, I decided to try looking around Multiply for any interesting buys. I’ve been hearing that it was easier to purchase on Multiply, so why not give it a try? I was surprised to see a lot of sellers - from teens to mommies! And I was more surprised to find out that my teenage sister has actually been buying her accessories from there! This got me all psyched up, and next thing I knew, I was buying little things here and there - for myself, for my mom, for my sister. Later on, I was buying for my friends and other relatives. I even found new friends from my suppliers! It was then than I thought, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to try selling myself!

So, I gathered all my girl friends - told them to bring items they were selling to their classmates and colleagues, and we did our very first photoshoot! It was fun, fun, fun! We were so into our element that we forgot that it was the start of a new venture!

A few months into our buying and selling venture, we have gone from having fashion photoshoots to organizing 3 bazaars just before the end of the year. Come Christmas time, we had more than enough to send out gifts for everyone, and even got to travel because of our income!

I’m truly blessed to have very supportive family and friends. I’ve never felt any pressure in this business - as it was always playtime for us, and we bonded even more.

Thank you ladies, and a few gents! Business has never been so much fun.
