Binondo Scenes
In the streets of old Binondo was where I, along with some of my friends and cousins, decided to walk one Sunday afternoon to rediscover one part of old Manila. But rather than let words describe what I saw, this time let me take you to a visual tour of scenes through some photos I took during our walk around some parts of Binondo, Manila.

Movie: A Very Special Love
Starring John Lloyd Cruz as Miggy and Sarah Geronimo as Laida, Miggy was the son from a second family who was always hot-tempered because he had to prove to the first family that he could be on his own. He ran the magazine The Bachelor. Laida applied for the job of editor assistant because she had a crush on Miggy.
Miggy was pressured on the anniversary release and was always shouting at his staff. Then Sarah who was so patient and understanding melted the heart of Miggy. Miggy started to notice her and soon began to fall in love and learn how to care.
When the launching of the cover was made and Miggy felt like a failure in the faces of his family, he drove out and even drove Sarah away. By talking to his dad on the tomb of his mother, he learned that he had a lot of pain in his heart that he could not see or prevented people from loving him.
In the end, he realized that mistake and came back to Laida. He realized that someone could love him for who he was and he could love somebody by just being him.
The movie was full of fan and “kilig” factors which most people who fell in love before would appreciate.
Cyma Greek Taverna
You would be surprised to know that although I love to eat and I mostly eat anything or at least try anything, I am extremely hesitant about anything that appears to contain a variety of spices I am not familiar with. Take Indian food. It would probably be the last food I will try, personally. Not that I have had the opportunity to try it but I have seen and smelled the spices that they use in their dishes that I have learned to stay away from it (my loss truly).
