Every Saturday from 9 to 3, the park in front of our building fills up with tents, people, and LOTS of trucks and cars for the Salcedo Community Market. My little sister and I went down to buy some organic cashew nuts and soy milk. I also wanted to teach her how to take pictures. (So which of these pictures do you think were taken by a six year old?)

I know I'm posting an exception so soon, but I've been looking for a perfect outlet to post pictures from my trip to Cebu last year. It was the first time I'd been there, and I was really excited to explore - which is why I twisted my dad's arm to set up a city tour for the entire family, even if they'd already been there before.


Magellan's Cross, said to be the "most famous" landmark in Cebu. Check out the red balloons and the paintings of the conquistador & the Filipinos on the ceiling.

I went to Intramuros, the old Spanish Walled City, with two friends. Leng and I were there to take pictures and videos for our P.I. (Philippine Institutions; also fondly known by U.P. students as Putang Ina) 100 report. Pat went along just for fun.



Casa Manila courtyard - We thought this was such a perfect place to shoot a telenovela set in the 18th century.
