" Manila Metropolitan Theatre "

It was once a respectable and distinguished establishment called The Metropolitan Theatre.
Designed by Juan Arellano during 1930's.
I did some post awhile back, but from afar, see here.

Looking closely at its patterns and details.
Beautiful Art Deco leftovers in this structure, as molds and mildew starts proliferating.

almost 6 months after, the place is clearly abandoned,
the structure, dilapidated than ever and worst,
housed by vagrants and illegal settlers.
A pity that until now, it has been overlooked by the government.

so this foto has got nothing to do with Manila.
It's just me, bored after dinner, watching re-runs,
went to the sink and take these shots. ^0^

Have a great day ahead!

" The Fighter "

Photobucket

It took me awhile before I could post this foto because
I was hesitant at first.

Wondering why this guy has this sheepishly grin on his face? ^0^
Well, in a typical boisterous public market,
a crowd started to gather around this barricaded area,
so curious as I can be,
I walked further to see what's it about and saw that there's an unofficial cockfight that's about to happen.
It's illegal to hold cockfights and place bets elsewhere except in particular places.
But the locals can be err, really stubborn at times. ^-^

I was hoping to sneak a few fotos to post when this guy quickly caught sight of me, and oops! I thought he'd be mad, but instead, gave me this aha!-you-caught me-smile.
So,in a jiffy, I ended up with a blurry foto of him and his dear rooster.

" Divinity "

Photobucket

In a local street here in Manila there's a line of shops selling
religious relics and artifacts.
Pinoys tend to be superstitious if not believers of faith and the supreme being.
Regardless of whether or not you do,
I'm sure there's something interesting to see.
Take this shop for example, because I only have seconds before the car speeds ahead,
it was hard to get a good angle, so this is pretty far a good one.
When I was tweaking my foto, I was surprised to see that the religious figures are
still covered in plastics, for protection against dust and getting old I guess. ^0^
upon looking closer, they have a bust of Jose Rizal ( national hero) and they even sell tombstone!
how morbidly interesting is that?!

" Parol "

Photobucket

these fancy Christmas Parol.
it doesn't look interesting during the day, but its colorful lights are certainly magical at night.

" The guy with a cane "

Photobucket

He seem lost amidst the busy crowd in a public park.
He looks like a foreigner though...


afterthought:
Hi there dear bloggies,
How have you been?
I did take a long break off from posting.
Real life has been overwhelming and daunting,
but things have been patching up slowly.
Thanks for bearing with me. ^0^
