" Philippine Post Office "

Let's take a look inside the post office of Manila.
Bacically, this is how it looks like.
Its design were mostly of repeptitive patterns, from the flooring, to the windows, even the ceiling.
I didn't go further down the hall,
the security guard in front of the entrance was quick to notice my camera and told me that
without a permit, I couldn't take any photos inside, so he asked me for what purpose was it for.
I said it's for my blog that promotes clearly about Manila.
oh, Here we go again... ^0^

And like you, I'm glad to see its interior because,
I have never visited this place before even if I have passed by
a hundred times. ^-^

And these are some of the highlights for this month,
what it used to be like during the days.

ps: dear Missy,

For your delectable Laing request,
hope you don't mind this (deja vu) archived foto.
I hope it's enough to make you hungry. ^0^

  3. Sometimes it's really difficult to understand why you are not allowed to take certain photos. ... and sometimes you obey, sometimes you don't. :-)

  5. I remember how much I enjoy my rare visits to the post office. I wish I visited more often, but it was always so crowded before, if I remember correctly.

    PS. Pafedex naman ng laing oh.

  6. I've been there once during my college days. It was so crowded.

    In here, I started to be cautions on taking pictures as there are expats being jailed because of taking pictures of public buildings.

    Oh! Thank you so much for posting the LAING photo.Mas lalo akong nasabik!! I'm actually counting the days :)

  11. I wonderful reminder of the days when sending letters was the a really important activity in the life of the citizens. Now postmen mainly seem to deliver junk mail. All other communication has moved to the telephone or the internet.

    (Except, of course, for the odd love letter.)
