Looking at Church structures and appreciating the city

Despite living in a city, there are still some wonderful things that you can see that will put a smile on your face. These are living and non-living things that we usually ignore in our busy lives. We need to learn how to stop and appreciate these creations that we often times neglect due to our hectic schedules.

A couple of weeks ago, Rizza, a friend of mine since college brought up the idea of visiting Churches around Manila. She prepared a list containing 14 Churches that we should visit. However, the idea of doing 14 Churches in one day (considering the distances where some of our friends live) would make it impossible for us to complete it, we narrowed it down to 7.

We invited the usual crew to join us. Only 4 of us were able to confirm their presence on the said activity (this includes Nanz, another friend of mine which they -college pals just met a week ago).On the actual day though, only three of us were able to complete our goals because of unexpected circumstances that happened the night before on Rizza's end.

It was a valid excuse and we understood what had happened. I honestly thought of cancelling the mission and just reschedule it on a different day so she can join us. But Rizza told us to go ahead with the plan even without her, so we did. I'm still glad that even though she wasn't with us during the main activity we set, she was able to join us late in the afternoon so we can talk and be in each other's company. It was still a good day. :)

I wouldn't elaborate more on our trip because I did a video to sum it up. This video is just a glimpse of what we were up to last Saturday. You'll notice that in this video I didn't focus much on the Churches itself as I don't want to disturb the ongoing events happening inside it (there are wedding mass, and some Church members were also practicing for their activities this coming week - Holy week).

Here's the a sort of vlog I made:

Zoo Trip with friends and hanging out at Harbor Square

Hello pixies!

Last Saturday, I and some of my college friends met up so we can fulfill one of our friend's (Tin) long time dream to visit Manila Zoo. Since I live nearby, visiting the zoo is no longer new to me however sharing this experience with my college pals is another thing.

We are actually a peer group of 9 but this meet is actually a half-meeting (for some part-time gig), half-exploring kind of thing, we decided to just stick with the usual crew...meaning the 4 of us.

It was a hot, sunny afternoon but we never complained about the heat because we have each others company to block that thought. We enjoyed looking at the remaining animals from the zoo and took some photos and short videos.

Above are some of the photos I manage to take using my iphone. I didn't bring my camera with me because I want to carry lightweight items as much as possible in my semi-medium size shoulder bag. Sorry Caspian, no enough space in my bag...

We also have a short break during the whole duration of our exploration so we can hydrate ourselves.

Check out this video I made to sum up the Zoo trip.

Tin's dream is now fulfilled... just look how happy she is here:

Happy Tin :)

After our trip, we walked from the zoo to the place called Harbor Square beside the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). We waited for the sunset and the sun didn't disappoint us. I was there the day before this trip so I'm still high with the "sunset feel good moment" and this time I want to share it with the gang as well.

The view is so breath-taking and it instantly captivated my heart. It signifies another beautiful day spent with lovely people.

Angels' adventure will continue.Watch out for more trips as we are already brewing some out of town trips this coming May.

Sprinkling positive fairy dusts to you reader!
