MANILA | SEPTEMBER 2013

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.”
~ George A. Moore

A fruit stand in Jenny’s Rosario, Pasig City.

Street scenes I saw when I secured Overseas Employment Certificate/Exit Clearance from POEA in EDSA.

Chowking, Robinson’s Metroeast. I shared the table with my parents prior watching the movie, OTJ.

Shots from LRT in Recto, Manila.

My mom and aunt walking with their long umbrellas. They accompanied me to Quiapo & Divisoria.

Despite its busy surrounding, Quiapo Church never fails to remind me that God is merciful and forgiving.



At Php 16 per piece, this lumpia from Globe Lumpia House in Raon, Quiapo, Manila is one of the best I’ve tasted!







My mom, together with my maternal aunt bought me half a kilo of Excelente ham. Perfect with pandesal!


Then they brought me to Kim Chong Tin Hopia Factory, the oldest in Manila. Hopia munggo is to die for!

Escolta, Manila.

The fountain in front of Sta Cruz Church, Manila.

At Lucky Chinatown Mall. Also new to me were 999 Mall, Puregold and a few others. Divisoria, we meet again!

Lunch at 168 Mall foodcourt.

In my darkest moments, I found my way home.

I thank the merciful Lord for few people who have been helping me to move on, despite and in spite of.

I shall return to my present work in Penang, Malaysia soon.
