PASTILLAS, BROOMS, AND GIANT SPOONS AND FORKS: ADVENTURES IN METRO MANILA AND THE PHILIPPINES

WHERE NEXT?
I am starting to run out of places to visit. No, no. Let me rephrase that. I am running out of ideas for this blog. I will now ask YOUR help and tell me what places, events, etc. you want to see here at Superpasyal. Post now.
I follow your blog since ages and I confess you did a very good job in showing us a lot of interesting stuff in Manila. I honestly don't know what exactly you left out in your blog but I am pretty sure that there is still work for you in the future. :-)
I am already an "alien-resident" of Metro Manila since more than 4 years (and a regular visitor for more than 15 years) and I was reflecting about the changes that took place in this city in all those years.
A lot of things changed and I regret that I didn't documented those changes in a more "scientific" way. Look at what happened in Malate. From almost a red light district 15 years ago to what it is today. Same with Roxas Blvd, Fort Boni, etc.
I think that you should continue to document your walks & travels inside this city as much as possible. What seems normal today might disappear tomorrow and it will never be the same again...
as for manila.... how about the DVD shops in Quiapo, the most faux-colonial church of Dasma Cavite, Arranque market, Cartimar, the money museum of the central bank, the orchidarium near the national museum, the nike outlets in laguna, pateros,corregidor, the shabu den of pasay, etc.
Linguist, I will calendar that soon but it sure will be very expensive to vist and eat just to take photos, he he! Then again, maybe id just visit the Mall and get a taste of that much talked about isaw!
Sidney, coming from you, that message is such an honor. Now if only i can get as much traffic as your blog does, he he!
No Playwrit, welcome to Superpasyal. I LOVE your art work at deviant!
How about an entry of food establishments within UP Diliman? Somehow, the plain becomes tempting with your photos...
