Somewhere in Nueva Ecija

Here is another adventure with the Lakad Pamana guys.

It starts at this great place to eat, Arki's Tambayan. They have great food, good people and a really nice and cozy environment. With a price that won't make you poor.

Then this ordinary looking house at the front hides something amazing. The owner told us that the house was cut in half in order to give way to a road that was built at the back. By the way, at this part of the tour we have already reach Gapan, Nueva Ecija.

Some pictures are ugly because I was just using my phone camera, which is not so good with certain kinds of lighting.

Then we move to the heart of Gapan. We started with the old abandoned municipal hall. I wish they can do something about it. It was once used as a school and then  abandoned again.

Then we see this house said to be owned by Jay Taruc. Don't you want to tear down those ugly campaign banners? They are such an eyesore to heritage.

Here is a much more wonderful house said to be owned by Eula Valdez. Now that is one fine house with a family with also a name to boast of.

Then we go to the Church. We start at the old convent turned into an event hall. Since this is not a congregation run Church expect a lot of interesting things happen since original plan.

This is the National Shrine of the Divina Pastora. The Church also gives honor to the Three Kings.

The Church's foundation was laid in 1856 by the Agustinians.

There is this wonderful house of the Cuison Family near the Church.

Then we have this monstrosity of a place called Minalungao Park.

The place is overcrowded and badly planned. The parking is crazy and its over crowded. Maybe because it was summer.

The area has signs of destruction due to reasons beyond me. I think its because of mining for its rocks.

But lets for get that for now and enjoy another wonderful meal.

At least the view gets better when you go deeper. The water much clean.

There is also a thousand step climb to a cross nearby. It's a challenge to do for a person like me but if you are determined you can see the top and experience a wonderful view.

Sorry I was too tired to take a picture of the cross. Midway there is also a tomb of a Korean who donated money for such a journey.

May Vacation

My company just gave me one month vacation because they cannot say they are on a tight budget as usual. Anyways this gives me freedom from the latest bullshit and shallow lives of my co-workers, I wonder why they always need to talk about their boring lives. Maybe most of the time no one cares about them.

Anyways that means I have more time to write so much about the things I have never written about. I have been so busy doing two jobs in a day. If only I don't need to sleep I would do that.

The hard work has paid off and I am going to Japan this month. Expect tons of pictures from me then.

Church Tour of some Churches in Makati 2016

Since the planned Visita Iglesia of Bulacan did not push through because of some reasons. Me and my friend just decided to go around Makati. He also wanted to see the Cenaculo at Pio del Pilar in Makati.

This simple post will just talk about some of the Churches we have been through. This is not a Visita Iglesia since there is no chance to see the Church at close. We just really looked at the Churches and took pictures. No pretentious bullshit of being holy.

First stop is the Church kost people refer to as the Guadalupe Church. Actually it may have been but the proper name of the Church is Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church.
