Camella ends summer with the announcement of its nationwide "Take Your Best Splash" Photo Contest Winners

 Summer brings life to the tedium of a person's daily routine. Everything about this season speaks outdoors — trips to the beach, getting in touch with nature, afternoon picnics, and outdoor camping. It signals the perfect time to bring out the fashionable summer clothes in your closet, hang out with friends, binge on in-season fruits, and bask in vibrant days knowing there are fewer possibilities of rain ruining the day. 

In tropical countries like the Philippines, there are only two seasons, the wet, which is filled with rainy days and cold nights, and the dry, which is summer. Travelers around the world visit the country in April and May to maximize getaways to pristine beaches and experience all the unique archipelagic offerings. For locals, it is the best time to book a summer trip for the whole family. 

This year, in light of easing travel restrictions, access to the outdoors is beginning to come up again. Local and international travels have opened, destinations are getting filled with guests, restaurants are experiencing long queues, and beaches are flooded with tourists — making fun summer memories every bit possible.

Camella's Take Your Best Splash Photography Contest 2023. Camella spiced up summer through a photography contest for professionals and hobbyists. The "Take Your Best Splash” photography contest" allowed participants to showcase their passion for photography and the fun that comes along with shooting these images within their Camella community of choice. 

Splash photography, a feature in the contest, is a way of capturing and documenting natural or artificial water movements, ranging from waterfalls, dewdrops in plants, rain droplets, to capturing splashes of someone using the pool, children playing in puddles, or fur babies enjoying a sprinkler shower to cool down.

Make Your Best Splash Summer Campaign Splash photography is also a creative way to capture a blissful summer getaway. It is an excellent opportunity to convey different stories and emotions through photographs.

All communities of Camella in 47 provinces and 149 key cities and municipalities nationwide opened their gates and amenity areas to welcome the participants of "Take Your Best Splash” photography contest.

    Traveling is building memories in unexpected harmony. So everytime your on the road, it is wise to consider playing the best music that will elevate your mood. The spirit of your travel depends on how you set the melodies and beats in an equal proportion where you can engineer the gravity of thoughts and emotions.  Playing music on trips is more evocative than looking at photos.

The Fearless Journey to Basilan : Malamawi Travel Guide

Image
Long overshadowed by siege and stories of terrorism, Basilan has now started to outrun barriers from what seemed a collision between fear and prolific tense brought by the media. Even the most hardened travelers have to admit a certain amount of fear while traveling this isolated area of Mindanao. Well, unbeknownst to many, Basilan is never that overly haunting place. This can be justified by ubiquitous presence of Philippine Army who has been fortifying security in all barangays. Ruled by Gov. Hadjiman, Basilan is now deemed as peaceful place where splendid sceneries allure many thrill-seeking souls. But then just like any other story, before I came to that realization, I have gone to Gehenna of uncertainties. A backdrop of dubiety and distrustfulness.

Misteryum Brings Affordable yet Delicious Food Since 2015         I grew up eating a lot of Chinese food since my parents love it too so I have grown accustomed to dishes like Chow Mein, Wanton Noodle and the dumplings I actually crave for a lot but usually dishes like these are quite expensive and usually the cheaper counterpart is not really at par to ones I had as a child but luckily I was able to stumble upon a place that offer affordable Chinese cuisine in San Juan CIty! Misteryum has been established since 2015 and it has been serving affordable Chinese cuisine ever since. One of the things they do offer is that although their food is affordable it doesn’t skip on the taste and authenticity of food similar to the ones in Hongkong since the father of the owner has passed the recipes he had cooked back in Hongkong. Their location is actually beside Santolan Town Center which is where most major transport units pass from Tanay going to Quiapo. It is qu
