2012 10 27 Manila Weekend

I was in Mnaila for the weekend. I bought myself a new camera. The day after, I took my camera for a test drive. First  was a trip to my old Alama Mater.

UST Main Building

This building shall remain unnamed. I understand that while saying that it might sound like an old fogy. But a few elements do stand out, too bad it does not save the whole.

The Arch of the Centuries. A testament to the longevity of our institution. I may not agree with most of its history, but I am part of it now.

The Garden in front of the building is certainly seeing better days. I don't think I remember it this well lit.

Sentinels of UST have stood here almost a century. Not much, compared to the UST that is 400 years old. 

After relieving myself of home sickness it was time to visit another Heritage Landmark, The Luneta Hotel which is now currently under renovation.

The second half of the day was spent at KOMIKON. Most of the day meeting heroes and idols in the Philippine Comix scene.
