Plaza Goiti at night (sorry, my hand moved). There are street food galore down there and blind musicians too!

MY MISSION. MY STORY.
This blog was opened in March of 2005 as a personal travel blog called EAT AND RUN. I first featured actual food reviews of select restaurants I did for the Philippine Daily Inquirer's The Reviewer Magazine (now defunt. The magazine, I mean). Eventually, it evolved into a discovery blog based mostly on my frequent trips to the City of Manila, the capital city of the Republic of the Philippines and was named Guts. Grit. Gumption.
It has since been renamed SUPERPASYAL to reflect the style of chronicling scenes, places and people in this former Royal city, now dubbed affectionately as, well, The City of our Affections by its residents and those who may not be living within it but are enthralled and in-love just the same with this city's vibrant life, wonderful history, its rich past and its hopeful future.
In English, SUPERPASYAL means quite literally as super travel or someone who does a lot of travels, although travel does not really come very close to what pasyal means. Maybe tour or jaunt would be more like it. The Spanish word paseo is actually the closest, har har! At any rate, welcome and enjoy your stay!

ABOUT SUPERPASYAL
This is an attached weblog to RADIOACTIVE ADOBO. This is my adventure blog. Since i don't get to go about often because of what I do, this will be updated only when I have the chance to go anywhere outside my work area and my house. I also have started to travel outside Manila and I have posted photos and stories here for all of you to enjoy and hopefully learn from.
This blog also loosely patterned after a famous travel blog but with the distinct Manila twist. Manila, after all, is a city like no other - it has it charms and its equivalent quirks. The people are generally warm, but can be surprisingly rude (or extremely nonchalant) if you don't know how to tread lightly.

The people are generally warm, but can be surprisingly rude (or extremely nonchalant) if you don't know how to tread lightly.
Here we will try our best to document snippets of this great city's every day life - its stories, its rumors, its unusual sights and sounds (and smell, if need be!) - things that can easily become tomorrow's urban legends though not necessarily the scary kind.
To a city that has a great past, a colorful present, and an - uhm - unforseeable future, we dedicate the things we have seen and heard in Manila. Once again, welcome and Mabuhay!

Wow! ANg ganda pala ng Plaza Goiti at that time! Great nighshot!
I love the last picture! Nice perspective and view.
Is it Plaza Goiti or Plaza Lacson?
It's one and the same, Sidney. It was renamed Plaza Lacson eventually when that monument was 1st put up.
The memorial to Goiti can be found on one of the posts of Sta Cruz Church.
