The Travel Freak

Sep 26, '09 5:27 AM
for everyone

Got invited to a free walking tour last weekend. This tour was actually designed for stamp collectors and aficionados. But with sheer number, we were able to 'transform' it to a photo walk. Hehehe.

Our group were able to go inside the Manila Post Office snap our hearts out of the place (where usually you need to get a permit to shoot).

We also had the pleasure to meet some of the organizers and members of the club. The club were auctioning vintage stuff. Name it... they got it. From old magazines... to 1800s documents and letters. Even got myself a copy of the National Geographic magazine where the infamous Afgan girl was the cover. Sweet!

The walk also covers part of Intramuros.

Just sharing some of my snaps.

hoping it last but remember just coz somethin good ends doesn't mean somethin better won't begin..

i always believe that there is someone out there who can take ur breath away with handwritten, of which i still adore till today compare to stiff online letters ☺

thank you po – for spreading this piece of love art..
