Wandering Photo: Paco Park Cemetery circa 2002

All Saints Day is being celebrated in the Philippines today so people trooped to the cemeteries to visit their dearly departed loved ones. Since I do not have anything to post about this day, let me just post this photo.

Ang mga Bugoy

This was way back in college when our professor ask  us to visit certain historical places in the Metro. It was my first time to pose for a photo right beside a grave. In this case the old grave of Dr. Jose Rizal. And we were all smiles. What were we thinking?

Munti Discovery: The Triumph of Science Over Death

Image
I have been living in Muntinlupa for the past 10 years (not counting the 5 years I spent back in grade school) and I am ashamed of the fact that I have not checked out the sights in this lovely city I call home. Had it not for my office mate Rai who mentioned that there is an interesting statue very near Festival Mall, I would have continued to be oblivious of its existence. The Triumph of Science over Death (Left) The statue I am talking about is a replica of The Triumph of Science Over Death , a clay sculpture made by Dr. Jose Rizal as a gift to his friend Ferdinand Blumentritt.

A Rockin' Great Time at the Liliputan Rocky Beach Park

 (July 2011) No, Virginia, we did not go to Lilliput nor did we see Gulliver or the tiny people known as Lilliputians. We went to a not so popular beach park in San Julian, Eastern Samar --- The Liliputan Rocky Beach Park. It was the last day of my short vacation in my hometown of Borongan so my folks decided to have some  R & R and head on to the beach after the fiesta in our barangay. But instead of just going to Cabong (a favorite place by Boronganons) they decided that we go to the nearby town of San Julian. Photos from isanjulian.bravehost.com Liliputan literally mean where one turns around a point, from the root word "liput" meaning to turn around a point. This can also mean a short cut. The way to the Liliputan Rocy Beach Park Rocky Beach Park Fees As you can see in the photo, rates are pretty cheap: Entrance Fee: Php5.00 Cottage Fee: Small - Php75.00 Medium - Php150.00 Large - Php200.00 Open Space with table: Php25.00 Use of shower/com
