" Longer Route "

Photobucket

There is the short and long version,
but I prefer to take the latter,
less pollution and traffic.
This is one of the passageways on the way to LRT and MRT (railway stations)

it's a trilogy actually, based on the novel by Stieg Larsson.

how about you, any interesting films you've watched lately.
This foto was taken on the streets of Rizal avenue and Recto.

Happy weekend everyone!

either your shoes/feet get soak in those filthy water or
simply pay a small fee to that guy over there. ^0^

" Slow "

Photobucket

sometimes the signs are a bit confusing, look at where the slow-lane was pointing at?
but I think this time, it's right, that escalator and the rest of the escalators here are really slow.

" One day "

Photobucket

For those of you who're not familiar with this name.
Dilson is an old cinema house here in Rizal Avenue along Recto.
Already quite dilapidated but not abandoned,
it features unwanted movies and films that are strictly for adults only.

A pity that such a classic cinema house could end up like this.
Nowadays, if it's not downloaded, most of us rushed to the mall to watch a movie,
leaving establishments like this into bankruptcy.

" Manila Cathedral in Renovation "

Tourists and Locals won't be able to visit one of the oldest churches here in Intramuros- The Manila Cathedral Church.

I can only count the times i've been there and never seen its interiors yet!
The basilica's facade ( i think) is a neo-romanesque inspired architecture dating back during the spanish times.

you can learn about its history in this Link. which is its official site.

Photobucket

According to recent news, it will temporarily shut down for at least a year, as the structure is in dire need of renovation, in fear that it may not be able to withstand, in case an earthquake shall occur. ( God forbid, knock on wood 3x)

Photobucket

the Latin inscription reads:
Tibi cordi tuo immaculato concredimus nos ac consecramus.
We consecrate to your immaculate heart and entrust to you (Mary) for safekeeping
