IN RANDOM VIEWS of a city-bred and a promdi.

Justin
my cousin who is 1/4 filipino, 1/4 sicilian , and the other half is a mix of
1/2 european/american. Our grandparents are siblings, if ever you are wondering
how I came to have a cousin of mixed breed. Justin Taylan (with roots all the
way from Dingras, Ilocos Norte) lives in Hyde
  Park,

New   York, and has been coming back and forth searching for his roots since last year. I
toured him for the first time (since it was the only time I am available) on a
Friday, October 7, a week before my finals… and it turned out to be one of the
best moments of my life this year. I feel like writing about it.

Highly
recommended:

1.National Museum–
I always enjoy coming here for there is always something new everytime I visit.
The Corpse Jars which I only see in magazines when I was a kid will always be
my favorite. The latest in the gallery are the remains of the ship. The dinnerware, silverware,
guns and ammunitions in that ship are all displayed in the 1st and 2^nd
gallery - A
walk-in Diorama depicting the wreck site of the Spanish-ship  San Diego its
artifacts and how it appeared when discovered by archaeologists at a depth of
54 meters underwater. This ship I believe was built in Cebu. It had only 1 survivor when it sank. 

2. Inadvertently passed by  JonesBridge 
which is the wrong way (so wrong) to Intramuros. But, every accident turns to
be a blessing – we ended up hoppin in

Chinatown. We had dinner at Lai Palace, at  Ongpin Street. They
had the best salted fish rice and butter chicken (recommended by celdrantours I
spotted in blogspot) and d crab is yummy (the picture speaks for itself).

Mangyari Lamang

ni Ginoong Bobby Gueverra, guro ng Teolohiya sa Ateneode Manila University

Mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nagmahalnang makita ng lahat ang mukha ng pag- ibig.Ipamalas ang tamis ng malalim na pagkakaunawaan sa mgamalabo ang paningin.Mangyari lamang ay tumayo rin ang mga nagmahal atnasawinang makita ng lahat ang mga sugat ng isang bayani.Ipadama ang pait ng kabiguan habang ipinagbubunyi angwalang katulad na kagitingan ng isang nagtaya.

Mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nangangambangmagmahalnang makita ng lahat ang kilos ng isang bata.Ipamalas ang katapatan ng damdaminna pilit ikinukubli ng pusong lumaki sa mga engkantoat diwata.Mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nagmahal, minahal atiniwan ngunit handa pa ring magmahalnang makita ng lahat ang yaman ng karanasan.Ipamalas ang katotohanang nasaksihannang maging makahulugan ang mga paghagulgol sa dilim.

At sa mga nananatiling nakaupomangyari lamang ay dahan- dahang tumalilis papalabassa nakangangang pinto.Umuwi na kayo at sumbatan ang mga magulang nanagpalaki ng isang halimaw!

At sa lahat ng naiwang nakatayomangyari lamang ay hagkan ang isa't isa at yakapin angmga sugatan.Mabuhay tayong lahat na nagsisikap na makabalik saating pinagmulan!Manatiling masaya at higit sa lahat magpatuloy sapagmamahal.
