Manila

Here's something I want you guys to see... Some of these pictures were emailed to me, and I felt that I need to share them with you because they made me appreciate the place where I grew up... I used to hate Manila, but looking at these pictures made me smile, and felt that I am lucky that I've seen some of them and actually been to these places when I was uhummm, well, younger... For my children, this I think is worth blogging for. I am definitely going to save these pictures for my children's children to see...

And now...

Roxas Boulevard

We watch the news, we read newspapers, but what we often get are bad pictures, sad news, ugly sights, cheesy celebrities. Doesn't it feel good to see the beautiful side of Manila? For a change???
