Calaguas Islands, I love You
They say that true love comes only once in a lifetime. I used to believe in this saying. A cliché to most romantics at heart but otherwise is a part of reality. But then, some of you may ask how about those who have fallen […]
The Truly Majestic Metropolitan Theatre
After our visit to the Post Office Building just across the street, our group took a short break and found time to make new acquaintances. Our group scattered. Some took a rest on the front steps, others hurriedly bought a Php 10 ‘mineral water’ from […]
Post Office Building Heritage Tour
It was sweltering hot. We arrived promptly before the assigned meeting time set by my friend Ivan (11:30-12 NN) and hung out at Plaza Lawton. While we were waiting for them, we noticed several lounging around under the lazy trees. Some with cameras clicking away […]
