iHeart

Week 7.  Love is a lot of suspension of disbelief -- that according to a Manila radio jock that I totally agree.   Hold your horses guys, its not actually cynical but instead, its a romantic thought. People in love are in a state of euphoria thinking that their love would work and dispatching the idea that it would fail. Love is a leap of faith - hoping all the best there is... even if the world forbids. In this heart's month, when cupid is fully booked, Tagum City is surrounded with hearts and love on all corners that would hopefully spill over throughout the entire year. The set of photos radiate the hidden romantics in all of us - from fun run to school King and Queen coronation to Kasalang Bayan.
