Another round of updates

Posted by Enrico Dee on July 26, 2007

As usual, my full time job had chained me from head to foot to my office desk. That’s the reason why I’m not able to go out of town recently, nor explore another dingy corner of Manila. No, I’m not complaining since for the last 3 years, this has been my main bread and butter. Anyways, here’s just an update of what’s happening lately:

TOMORROW - I might meet some Ilonggo friends who are also members of the Sykscrapercity Forum.

July 28 – I might join Youth Trip’sChinese Cemetery Tour.

August 1-4 World Food Expo – I’ll be there! I just got my PASS! I guess I’ll go there on August 3 or 4. I still have to check if my aunt’s company will join this years expo.

August 21 – Mrs. Field’s second coming I’ll be going with blogger friend Borgy

And lastly, I have been keeping mum about this for the longest time but this is it! Hahaha I will be enrolling in Ateneo de Manila University sometime this September. What course? haha I’ll just spill the beans, once it’s final. Geez, I’m feeling the excitement already. ahahaha

The church, was originally built during the Spanish period, but it has obviously been renovated that it no longer looks old. The church is known for its symmetrical bell towers done in Gothic architecture. The church stands in the district of San Miguel, and is just a few meters away from the official residence of the Philippine President: the Malacañang Palace.

It was originally built in in 1976 upon the orders of then Philippine First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos for the scheduled State Visit of Libyan President, Muammar Khadafy. Unfortunately, the vist did not pushed through. But the construction of Metro Manila’s biggest mosque continued.

When we say Quiapo, what usually comes into our mind is the Church of the Black Nazarene. The Basilica Minore del Cristo Nazareno houses the dark-skinned Christ carrying the cross.
