Hi just wondering how you were able to get your images to display with your posts? I am using the imbalance 2 theme and for some reason it will not upload my images. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Pia.
Hi. Put a featured image when you publish post and that will do. Thanks for dropping by.

Di alam gamitin alin? Yung theme?
kakainggit naman! congratulations for going through the adventure.
Thank you sir. Let’s try this together some time. :)
Nabuksan ko Ito. Parang naligaw naman itong kaisaisa kong bahagi dito sa 14 mong paboritong thoughts? Ngunit kahit ano pa man, kahangahanga talaga di lamang sa husay ng iyong panulat pati pala ngayun
sa photography!
Hi sir! Natutuwa talaga ako sa tuwing makakakita ako ng mensahe mula sa inyo dito. Kailan lang ay binigyan ako ng aking kabiyak ng DSLR. Pinapag-aralan ko pa at sana’y makatulong ito para mas lalong mapabuti ang aking paglikha ng kwento gamit ang mga larawan. Maraming salamat sa pagbisita, sir!
Thanks Dahlia! It started snowing over here so I’ve been eagerly awaiting some of your gorgeous photos to fuel my imagination and warm me up! ~ Melissa
