I've received a few press releases from some friends, so I'd figure I'd do a little guide on where to go for Holy Week 2009 in the Philippines, including Easter: 1. Visita Iglesia. The Church Visit is quite common among Catholics,and the more churches, the better. I can still remember the times spent in my mother's hometown in Bulacan and how authentic the commemoration of Christ's suffering there was, with flagellants walking along the road. You'll never see a better picture of Catholicism in action that in the week leading up to Easter Sunday. 2. Trek to Mt. ... Continue Reading...

Mahirap kasi halos apat na libo na rin ang mga larawan ko sa Flickr, at ang iba namang paborito ko ay hindi na inabot ng digital age.

Cosplay, Manila-style
Even though we didn't mean to be there, it was fun watching a Cosplay Tour now ongoing at the Cyberzone of selected SM malls in Metro Manila. Pics in this post were taken at the Mall of Asia yesterday. I used to think that cosplay or "costume play" is so NOT my generation, but was surprised to read a Wiki entry that as early as 1975, Caucasian fans dressed the part of their favorite characters in the Rocky Horror Show.
