Photo Friday: Project 365 – Days 335-365

Here’s my final set for 2010′s project 365. It’s been a fantastic year. However, I no longer see myself doing another project 365 for this year at least. Things are getting quite busier, so I’ll have little time taking photos on a daily basis. Anyhoo, here are the photos that cap my 2010.

Metro Manila: Love It or Hate It?

Posted by Cedric A. Solidon On January - 6 - 201119 COMMENTS

Discussion Thursdays: This is the time of the week where we talk about (or argue) if you want about travel-related topics.

For this week, let’s talk about our relationship with Metro Manila.

I don’t like living in Manila. That is, if you mean living by being free from stress, pollution, and poverty. On the other hand, it’s also where the action is if you want to find work and work with interesting people. That is not to mention that I’ve lived here for a huge part of my life with my family. So I have a love-hate relationship with the Metro.

How about you, do you love or hate Metro Manila? Please leave a comment below. :)

There’s something inherently sad about abandoned buildings, well, for me at least. It’s like something has been lost that will no longer return. On the other hand, I also couldn’t help but imagine how the building would have looked in its heyday.

So you can imagine how I felt when I finally saw what many people refer to as the Ruins, located in Talisay City, Negros Occidental.

You can’t? Okay, let me tell you a story instead.

So 2010′s ended just like that. Sometimes time goes by so quickly that we’re left with little time to examine everything that happened in the past.

While I won’t spill my guts here, let me just say that it’s good to be travelling again. I’ve finally been able to travel to places that I haven’t been to before such as Iloilo and Bacolod, and returned to some of my favorite places like Baguio and Cebu.

Plus, it’s also great to meet new people along the road like Erick, Estan, Joel, Bernie, Nina, Chyng, Gael, James, Melo, Marky, the Sole Sisters, Ivan H., Ivan D., , Claire R., Claire A., Angel, Josiah, Cai, Fung, and the others. Pardon me if I’ve forgotten your name. I’ve got a pretty bad memory.
