Visita Iglesia part 2

Here are a few more noteworthy photos from Maundy Thursday's trip around Manila. Other shots on my FlickR. :) tamad kasi i-post lahat. Hehehe

After visiting most of the churches on the list and saying our prayers, we ended up in the parking lot behind the CCP where we sought shade and relief, and ate lunch (and discovered that the CRV actually has a fold out table in back by default).

UST church, probably the squarest church ever...

San Sebastian
Gothic, yes. Rusty too.

San Marcelino Church
I remember coming here... but I never realized that it shared the compound with Adamson.

Visita Iglesia on two wheels
Encountered these folks at two churches. UST and at Nstra Sra. de Guia

Nstra Sra. de Guia
The statue / image encased in glass is oooooooooooold (and miraculous too). Greenest indoor color cast not attributed to fluorescent lighting ever (I think).

Malate Church
I should've taken a picture of the doors to this place... last church we visited that day.

Answer to Somebody's prayers
A reminder to Parishioners at Malate Church

Just thought I'd post those up before we go on to see what Good Friday looks like. I'll have to gear up for tonight's walk around the city (Naks! Meycauayan City), candle-wax stained streets and night shots in and of the crowd.

Wow! Thanks for letting me do a vicarious Visita Iglesia of Manila churches -- something I never get to do in Baguio on Good Friday!

Simply beautiful!

Discussing the Term: Maniniyot

I was recently introduced to this term by a co-worker who said she'd been called one by her friend when said friend learned that she is now a photographer at The Picture Company . Supposedly " maniniyot " is the tagalog / filipino word for "photographer". Ok, first off, as far as the word goes, I'm not even sure if it's a real word. I can't begin to fathom what tagalog root-word could've birthed such a word (obvious from this reaction perhaps my revulsion to the term) if it is at all, in fact, tagalog. But language being such that it is, evolving I mean, I'm sure it was only a matter of time before we would invent such a word. Spurred on by curiosity and annoyance, googling (also an invented word now that one thinks about it) the term pointed me to several websites and blogs having to do with photography, and to a youtube video entitled "Mr. Kodaker (Ang Maniniyot) - Max Surban - Karaoke". All said links, none of which providing d

Review: A7 Sports Action Cam via Lazada.com.ph

4 Days later Not sure how I should begin the little review... no, I'm sorry. I know how: You get what you pay for. Ok. Granted I paid just Php 1,199. For that amount, I was promised the following: 1) A portable yellow Action camera with 2) 5MP still photo capability, and 3) HD video recording 4) A waterproof case with different mounts Given that there were at other similar cameras on offer for at least 3x the price (the SJ4000 for example costs roughly Php 4,400 ), I thought I'd take the risk and buy this cheap little thing fairly conscious of potential trade offs. I conditioned myself to expect the worst. In that regard, I guess I wasn't disappointed, though not fully so. The Good:  The A7 looks a lot like the GoPro and some other Chinese made action cams (like the SJ4000 as previously mentioned). Unlike the GoPro, it comes with a built in LCD with which you can see what you record. The water proof casing it comes with is indeed waterproof, though I have y

Travel Photography: Subic Sweet Water Beach Resort

Image
I 've previously shared with you several instances of my travels around the Philippines. This is the latest in the series, I guess. Hahaha. I t's summer time, and what better place to go than the beach? Because of insistent public demand (well, more like glowing reviews from beach goers from certain forums) , we decided to go to Subic Sweet Water Beach Resort. And I gotta say, this particular place is probably one of the best beaches I've been to lately, if not one of the best beaches I've been to period . D on't let the name fool you though. It might be called a resort, but it's really not (well, technically it really is but...) . I'd say, it's more of a haven actually. I home away from home, away from all the hustle and bustle and stress that the over-commercialized Subic Bay freeport area represents. It's fine and nearly white sand, it's breath-taking vistas, cool and surprisingly not so salty water (my personal estimation compared to some bea
