In 2014, I could not afford a nice Android phone with an amazing camera feature.

I got an Oppo Neo 7 which was about PHP 8,000. I could not afford a phone over PHP 10,000 or over $200.

The fact that Android phones got downgraded easily.

And you have no choice but to upgrade to a better phone in the next few years.

But I already had a DSLR camera and an iPad mini.

I was being practical that it wasn't the best time to buy a phone with a beautiful camera feature.

I never regretted it.

My goal of using my phone was for immediate calls and using the phone as a portable Wi-Fi with a 3G connection.

Yeah right, my old phone never had a 4G capability.

Anyway, even though my phone never had high-quality photos, I still tried to take a few photos using panoramic shots.

Panorama 1 - Island Hopping in El Nido

The boat made a stop in one of the islands. I got the chance to go down first and took the chance to take a panoramic view from where I stood.

Panorama 2 - A Resort in Puerto Princesa

After a long trip from El Nido, we stayed in a resort in Puerto Princesa. Outside of the room is the view of the swimming pool.

Panorama 3 - Waiting for a ferry ride in Central, Hong Kong

We were going to our next destination around Hong Kong and we tried the ferry ride in Hong Kong. The ferry ride was about 2 Hong Kong Dollars if my memory was right.

Panorama 4 - The view from The Peak in Hong Kong

Part of our itinerary is to visit The Peak in Hong Kong. You can see the 360 degree view of Hong Kong from this place. There were several things to do here as well.

Panorama 5 - The Graduation Ceremony at CIT-University

Even though this photo was blurred but I still keep this in my photo memories because this was the only photo I got from where I was seating. My mom and I never had professionally taken photos during my graduation. My mother never had a camera phone and she never knew how to use my DSLR camera. I never brought my DSLR camera because nobody could take photos of us.

Anyway, even though these photos are of low quality but the good memories are still in my heart.

It's true, I think that even if they are not the best photos for others, for me they are a relic and a valuable memory.

I have so many fotos yot na blurry or even some low res (I never owned a phone above mid range) but they are usually the ones that hold the most memories kay they are easy to pull from the pockets during spontaneous moments! I'm just thankful now there's lightroom and AI upscalers to enhance old photos but even in its original res, the original is the most charming.
