After 3 days of relaxation and excitements in Moorea, we finally arrived at the infamous honeymoon Paradise, Bora Bora! Albeit, given our experience, we got to admit that it's not as glamorous as it sounds, our preference is definitely Moorea over Bora Bora but then again it's really just our opinion :)

We got to stay at Sofitel's Motu (Motu = Private Island), and talk about private and quiet, only a good handful of couples on the island with another handful of resort staffs. From what you can see from the photos below, the 3.5 days in Bora Bora we spent most of our time sunbathing, swimming with the fishes (unfortunately not with the reef sharks), kayaking, and a 2 hour tour of their downtown district.
Mari's first time kayaking... after, she sworn to never do it again. :(

Our mini trip to downtown Vaitape was brief but more than enough time to explore.

Fancyyy dinner! Ok not that great (given that part of the chicken was still uncooked), but good to try something different than the nightly buffet.

This concludes our trip to the South Pacific, although there are still so many more photos from the trip but I'll go ahead and save them for HDR Fridays :)
In case you missed the other 3 posts of our South Pacific Adventure:
Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm never really a Halloween type of person, so call me a debbie downer if you wish.. but that doesn't mean I don't like taking photos of people in costumes! For example, here's a big nerd:

Have a safe and an awesome Halloween everyone!

Our experience in Moorea can definitely be categorized as "awesome"! From the Island Safari Tour, Jet Skiing around the island and swimming with the Sharks (mainly Stingrays), the only thing missing was deep sea diving... then again that's only if I can actually swim.
Anyhow, here are some photos and please check our jet ski video at the end of the post!
Next post, look out for some photos from Bora Bora!!!

I'm starting get used to doing nothing but chillin' on the beach, feeding the fishes, snorkeling and photo taking.. maybe if I stay here long enough I would end up learning how to swim.
Anyhow, here's the part 2 of our honeymoon trip to the French Polynesia. Feeling rejuvenated, I end up waking up at 5:30AM (which is unusual) and caught a glimpse of this gorgeous sunrise on the Island of Tahiti.

Happy Monday everyone! It's been couple weeks since I updated the blog, so I hope this post was worth the wait. My wife (still feel little odd to say) and I celebrated an awesome wedding with 450+ of our family and friends. Then after couple days of recovery, we kicked off our new chapter in life with a honeymoon in French Polynesia (Moorea & Bora Bora).
The trip was definitely a first for me, since I rarely did any vacations where all we do is relax and sit under the sun. Regardless, we brought 4 different cameras and my iPhone to document as much as we can. So for the next couple of blog posts, you'll see plenty of photos (and maybe couple videos) of scenic and activities. Don't worry, by "activities" I meant water sports and it'll be PG13.
Here are some iPhone shots via instagram & hipstamatic:

Growing up in LA you get accustom to the aggressive drivers and daily rush hours, but it's definitely nothing compares to the streets of Manhattan. It would be the one place I would hate to drive in, but then again I haven't yet traveled to China or India yet.

P.S. - I've once hear that 95% of life is anticipation, and that couldn't be more true for me. A whole year of planning will be for one single day to kick off the next chapter of our lives next week. So if you don't see any posts from me next week then it only means that I'm off getting married!
P.P.S. - Happy Friday!

I tend to be drawn to bridges when I'm out traveling and shooting HDRs. From one of the most photographed bridge in the world, the Golden State Bridge to Brisbane's Story Bridge in the OZ, I've photographed them as I find them. For the photo below, I honestly have no knowledge of its existence until a wrong detour in Seattle had caused me to pull over and while I was trying to figure out a direction back to the main road I saw this amazing looking structure. Sometime it's not the destination but rather the journey that matters, and that definitely applied in this case.
Location: Helix Pedestrian Bridge - Seattle, Washington
P.S. - Happy Friday folks!!!
Happy Monday everyone! Hope everyone's weekend was good in the sense of either productive or relaxed. My weekend consist of doggie sitting and wedding planning errands. I can't wait to get this show started already, but for now, like Dum Dum (my doggie, see photo below) I'll just wait patiently.
