Check out Al Alarilla’s photoblog (aldrichalarilla.tumblr.com), it’s breathtaking! He’s a VisCom student from UP Diliman (and I’m guessing he’s a member of UP Iris, an organization for photography enthusiasts).
Pardon my dodgy blending. This was shot handheld so misalignment was an issue in the blending process. Anyway I’m still practicing getting that realistic look that Elia Locardi does with his HDR work. He is so amazing! Check out his site www.blamethemonkey.com its full of jaw dropping photos!

Looking for the best Chemical Engineering school in the world?
According to the 2013 QS World University Rankings by Subject, it’s the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In all of the factors considered, such as research, teaching, facilities, and even employability and internationalization, MIT received 5 stars (the perfect score); its comprehensive focus and very high research output solidified its top position in chemical engineering excellence. It received a 5+ QS Star Rating and got an overall rating of 95.10.
As the pioneer in the field of Chemical Engineering, MIT leads in chemical engineering research with “groundbreaking investigations on nanotechnology, biomedical processes, molecular computation, and catalysis.” Home to world-class researchers and state-of-the-art laboratories, research projects espousing collaborative work with other disciplines within MIT and other research organizations and commercial enterprises are being undertaken by their ChemE students.
World-class education of course comes with a hefty price: the average annual tuition fees in MIT costs around USD41,000 (PhP1,640,000) for undergraduate studies and USD43,000 (PhP1,720,000). If you are interested for an MIT scholarship, you may try applying for their financial aid.
