satisfied with all the photos that i've taken during my trip to Bantayan island and metropolitan Cebu, i thought it was already time to keep my digital camera and rest. as the plane ascends, i watched by the window the city lights of Cebu during dawn. the photo above shows Cebu city (left) and the island of Mactan (right). 
the colorful skies displayed on my window made me decide not to sleep and instead watch the sunrise from the plane.
following Cebu's northern tip, i noticed that we were actually passing by the island of Bantayan. seeing the island from the plane confirms that i was really meant to be there. i noticed the shape of the Bantayan island with the neighboring Virgin and Hilantaga-an island.
going north leaving the islands of Visayas and we were now entering the Luzon island. i observed that there's a mountain shape tip coming from the skies. it was actually Mt. Mayon's peak! the Philippines only nearly perfect cone shaped mountain.
40minutes has passed and the sun's rays are really stunning from my point of view. it looks like they were one with the clouds in displaying the sunrise's beauty.
as we fly lower, this time we were over Mt. Banahaw. from all the flights that i've taken to and from Manila, i've never been this close to seeing Mt. Banahaw from the plane.
it simply shows that we were now approaching the Manila runway as we see more houses below. we were now landing with a view of Makati city's skyline and Fort Bonifacio.
it was another one memorable escape trip. i didn't expect this trip will really be this exciting. thanks for joining me on this travel.

I love the cloud, specially the 6th pic. Great shots even though your behind a glass.
Nothing nicer than going home with lots of beautiful memories!
Nice shots, especially of the Makati skyline in the morning!
>photo cache, yes. hindi na talaga.
>luke, thanks.
>hi em, thanks! i was lucky enough to have a clear window. happy memories that'll last forever.
>panaderos, lucky to have landed on makati side because sometimes it lands on the coastal road side.
These are wonderful, just gorgeous. Thanks for bringing me along for the flight.

Splendid magnificent skies from the plane: thanks for sharing these wonderful views!
Fantastic one that i have ever seen so far... Good work friend..

>hi pietro, thanks too for keeping in touch.
>selerines, lucky! lucky to have seen the colorful skies on my way back.
wow. banahaw from a plane. takes my breath away.
i reached the peak of banahaw years ago. the view was sublime. grand. breathtaking. beautiful.
maryosep. mismong ang bundok pala. *sigh*
ah so mt. banahaw pala yun.. i used to notice them when on board the plane and quite curious in what part of the archipelago was that.
btw, nice photos... love them.
amazing amazing shots! i love the clouds!!!
Sarap sumakay ng eroplano. Di nakakasawa.
>atticus, wow! galing naman at naakyat mo sya bago nila ito sinara for preservation.
>islander, yes banahaw yon pero nadadaan din kung minsan ang makiling at taal.
>hi aracir, i like it when the color of the skies changes during sunrise. specially when you view it from the plane.
>earvin, sinabi mo. sa daming beses ko ng pagbyahe sa eroplano, hindi pa rin ako nagsasawa. every flight iba ibang views at experience. kaya lagi ako sa window side.
salamat at sinama mo kame kuya dong! kahit sa pictures lang, nafeel namen at naimagine na kasama mo kame sa trip mo.
PS.
sana next time, hnde lang sa imagination. :D
ilang minutes byahe?
Thanks for letting us join you in this particular dramatic flight (and the rest of the Cebu travel), it is so nice of you, what with all those breathtaking sights from above.
It has been a great Cebu and Bantayan Island series Dong. Definitely one of the most comprehensive tour and feature that I have ever seen and I enjoyed every post you made of your trip. More places to come parekoy.
dong bilib na talaga ako sa galing ng mga shots mo...panu ba nakukuha ang ganung mga timpla ng kulay? sa camera a yun o sa pagdevelop...gusto ko rin kasi mahook sa photography...
Very beautiful scenery taken from the plane. I love the beautiful colours of the sky. Have a nice day.
Ang sarap lumipad... Hehe :)
Ang gandang tingnan ng mga ulap.
>hi vanny, hahaha... sana nga.
>ely, one hour ang trip from manila to cebu. fastest is 45minutes.
>major tom, more thanks to you for joining me in this escape.
>lawstude, oo. sana nga marami pa pero tag ulan ngayon so limited ang mga lugar na pwedeng puntahan ngayon. pero abangan pa rin ang mga susunod na byahe. inaabangan ko rin lagi mga byahe mo.
>hi lyzius, hindi pa ako ganun magaling sa camera. siguro nasa pagpili lang ng mga kukuhanan. tsaka at least sony or cannon ang gamit mong digicam kasi napansin ko may generic na brand hindi maganda ang quality. yung pagprint ay depende din sa printer at paper.
>alicesg, thank you! thank you!
>richard, sinabi mo. sarap bumyahe sa pinas!
It's been a while since I've rode a plane. Ten years ago pa yun nung nagpunta me sa States! Pero your photos made me reminice those moments when I'm looking outside the window and just see beds of clouds and the orange sunlight from the beautiful ball of sunrise on the end! Grabe sucha wonderful feeling as your great photos are!
Thanks for dropping by my Skywatch Friday Post and Leaving a comment! Hope to see you soon! God Bless and Have a great week starting tomorrow!
Steven^^
Awesomely beautiful pictures. That sunrise was spectacular and the cloud shapes are wonderful. What a great time!
these shots are so refreshing to the eyes. I paused and took time looking them again and again. nakakinggit na experience. hindi pa ako nakasakay ng eroplano. hahaha. than ks sa pagshare ng idea. when time comes na makasakay na ako ng plane for the first time, i will take pics too am sure patago rin. di ba bawal yun?
ganda talaga ng pilipinas! how wonderful the world is really created! thanks to HIM!
>steven, tagal na nga nun. parang dapat bumyahe ka na kahit papunta dito sa manila.
>sandpiper, clouds are simply the creator's way of displaying how great he can be. that's why the clouds are that beautiful.
>redlan, hindi naman bawal ang camera sa eroplano. yung mga electronic gadgets lang na nagtatransmit ng signal.
sana nga makalipad ka na rin. sa una mong flight siguraduhing mag occupy ka sa window side. request mo lang sa counter pag check in.
ganda talaga ng pinas!
beautiful shots, kuya dong!!! :) and i'm happy you enjoyed your short stay here! :) feel free to contact me when you come back, ha. :)
What a flight you had! Pity the poor people who do not want a window seat.
Thanks for taking us on vacation with you, Dong.
nice... very nice.
>hi acey, sure. we will inform you. we really enjoyed our stay there. saya sa cebu.
>dina, you're right about that. but i think more and more people choose to have the seat near the window. thanks for joining me on this escape.
>jasper, nice display of the creator's greatness.
ang ganda!
I've been flying to and back from Manila countless of times but I've never seen something like these ... or I may have been sleeping or reading throughout the trip.
Thanks to your photos I now have reason to watch closely! :)
beautiful photos of clouds and sunrise. i've been traveling to cebu regularly for the past 9 years but i didn't catch a sunrise or a sunset this beautiful. sleeping beauty kasi ako lagi.:D
I love the first photo... parang map ng Cebu with Mactan. You got great views from your seat Dong!
>hi bugsybee, i rarely sleep during air trips. i usually enjoy the view even how sleepy i am sometimes.
>hi luna, malamang nga. sleeping beauty ka lagi. ako din madalas bumyahe pero bihira rin ang ganito ka gandang view.
>hi toe, yes. i always make sure i get the window seat.
dong, amazing ung clouds na nacocover sa sun...very breathtaking,
i salute your photography skills in capturing such a picturesque scene!
-honey-
