Magellan’s Cross

   PHOTOHUNT : SYMBOLIC

Magellan’s Cross is located in Magallanes street, Cebu City. It is housed beside the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño church. A historical landmark not only for Cebu City but for the Philippines. It was planted in the year 1521 by Ferdinand Magellan, a Portugese navigator who worked for the King of Spain in search of the Spice Island.

It symbolizes the propagation of the Roman Catholic faith in Cebu. When Magellan and his crew arrived in the island they were greeted by the local natives led by Rajah Humabon. They befriended him and consequently accepted Christianity and was baptized accordingly.

Public Toilet

LITRATONG PINOY : PUBLIKO

Pampublikong palikuran sa Pier ng San Francisco, California. Di ko man nagamit pero mukhang malinis. Sana magkaroon din tayo ng ganitong pasilidad dito sa Pinas at sana ay mapanatili rin ang kalinisan nito.

(A public toilet in San Francisco Pier. I didn’t get the chance to use but it looks clean. I just wish that we can have facilities like that here in the Philippines and we can maintain its cleanliness.)

PBW50: Bye LA

by on Sep.12, 2010, under About Me, Family Get-Together, Pixel Bug Weekend, Travel

We spent our last night in LA having dinner with friends at Thai Patio along Hollywood Boulevard. I know for a fact that Hubs really felt good having to be reunited with his cousins and friends. I also had the time of my life enjoying their company.

Photo opp before we head out to the airport. I had the grandest time during our short visit to the US. Thanks to the generosity and hospitality of all our families and friends. These people are the real treasures in life and nothing can beat that. Hope to be back soon!

I hope you all had the grandest weekend.

240/365 The Excalibur at Las Vegas – nothing fancy with the building since I took the shot of the building from the side, definitely not the building’s most flattering angle. I actually fell in love with the clouds. Not much editing done on this photo except a little cropping.
