Baligtos

BALIGTOS - /ba-lig-tos/ - noun. the Visayan term for 'tie'-- a long narrow piece of material worn (mostly by men) under a collar and tied in knot at the front


My weekend's completely fine; peaceful and relaxing. It wasn't a typical Friday though (Friday is the weekend here in Saudi) since I usually go out to unwind with friends. It's plainly fine çoz' I just stayed in my room and took a rest, until I finally thought of taking some photos. It took me hours actually to figure out what could possibly trance my lens until I noticed the ties left hangin' in my closet. So, I started my 'photoshoot' ...hehe..and here it goes..
