Nothing much really, just something that titillated my imaginative brain haha! I thought the sign meant “if you want sex & relationship, please ask for assistance”! On second thought, it really does mean so, right?
Yes, it does. Books on the topic that is, not the real makamundong pagnanasa!
This is at a bookstore am fond of visiting, am glad they have a branch in Cebu (Ayala Center)!
Another lovely experience!. I took the ' slow boat ' (in the past this was called ' barko ', nowadays it's called ' RORO ') from Cebu City to Catbalogan City - if only for another feel of "how it was" traveling inter-island, in the good old days of our forebears. Aba oy, malapit nang mawala ito! Mawawala? Ah eh, I'm just predicting, due to the advent of the "fastcrafts"! Why Ride A Ship? Actually, I was carrying a lot of "baggage" - books, references, handouts and printed materials of many kinds - too delicate if I checked them in on a plane to TAC or CYP. Also too heavy and cumbersome to handle, if I took them on a fastcraft, connecting to a series of UV Express rides with no luggage space . Thus, a ship was my best bet. Buti nalang, at salamat naman, meron pang ganito these days! How Long Is This Trip? I was told this was going to be an 11 to 12 hour night ride, departing at 7PM, where I supposedly ...
A vow to roam the country... Yes, your PinoyTraveler (that's me) is not at all religious but just the same made a "solemn" vow to roam the Philippines as much as I can and as long as I ever live (whichever ends first - as if they don't go together hehe)! This vow was "solemnized" by the fact that this occurred during a Sunday mass! I was a young 20 year old then. Way back then, really! The Scene The 9:30AM mass, the last row (pew) St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida - as homily was in progress The Dialogue American Guy : (smiling and with great enthusiasm noticeably inched to get nearer to me and whispered)... "you a Filipino? a Pinoy?" PinoyTraveler : (also whispering and wondering why the urgency of the question) "yes sir, I am, why?" AG : It has been like ages since I saw a Filipino. I love Filipinos, the Philippines. In fact I married one! You see my wife there in the front pews? You will recognize her, s...
Who goes to the Sto. Nino Shrine without glancing at the People’s Center beside it? Oh well, during this re-visit, I did not only want to glance at it, I wanted to roam the place once again. Alright folks, for those not familiar with it, google will help a lot as there too, are a lot of descriptions and images of it. The People’s Center simultaneously sprouted with the Sto. Nino Shrine beside it. They were the twin attractions of the city during their heydays, until the Marcoses were ousted out of Malacañang – but that’s another topic you and I may want to talk about in the future. I am not here to discuss that it was another extravagant thing commissioned by Imelda. That topic is already way too worn out. My visit was more for the what it was, and what it is now . The People’s Center and Library 'building'/'structure' was inspired by ancient greek architecture. Nabasa ko lang yan dati! Ah, that one will probably be hard to change even until obli...
