About Me

You can call me Dharzie from Romblon. Previously a part-time movie extra and now a full-time employee in a BPO. I love historical sites, nature, and outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and solo backpacking. At home, watching Travel Shows, Documentaries, and Korean Dramas is my interest.

Sirang Lente Description

Sirang Lente is a Filipino word that means “a defective lens,” which refers to my camera lens. I know you’re wondering why I'm writing and proud to have such a defective lens, correct?

Why Sirang Lente

It was in 2012 when I started hiking and backpacking. At that time, I didn’t have anything expensive, like DSLR cameras, to capture high-quality photos or even knowledge of photo editing. What I had was an old 5-megapixel Digital camera and a Nokia C3 phone with a 3.2-megapixel camera. They both have cracks on the LCD, so I thought they had defective lenses, but after transferring the photographs to my laptop, the images were beautiful. That's when I realized that there could be beauty in defects; it all depends on perspective.

I created this blog to list down the beautiful tourist attractions, tourist spots, and tourist destinations in all provinces I visited, upload great photos (must be raw and may not be of high quality), and tell my stories. I may not have perfect grammar, but I do believe that: “learning is constant, and practice makes permanent!”

As someone who has visited all 82 provinces in the Philippines, I’ve created a complete guide to help you explore each one. Check out my Philippines 82 Provinces Travel Guide here.
