historian by heart

some would probably hate history, but i can honestly say i dont. we could learn a lot about ourselves from our history (mostly from books), but i learned a lot more after joining walk tours (i.e., oxford and intramuros), river cruises (i.e., loboc, singapore, bangkok, london), and museum tours.

this past few months, i got hooked with old intramuros or should i say pre-war manila (when we really were the "pearl of the orient"), especially our architecture, from the shopping center of escolta, mansions of ermita, and churches of intramuros! i even joined an online forum that shows images of old manila, bought lots of books (mostly about intramuros), and now am planning to take ab history, join a heritage conservation group and share our history thru this blog.

you can expect not only images from my travels but also little bit of history about the place -- and i hope that this will help our fellow kababayan appreciate our history and become prouder (maybe even learn to preserve) of our heritage..
