Take note, naka sapatos ang mga tao, walang naka tsinelas kahit sa Avenida... just sharing...sayang di ko to inabutan... super linis at discipline ang mga tao wala pang naka maong hehehe   Old Manila The environment was still very clean.  Very little wires hanging from posts.. Based on the Oldsmobiles, Studebakers, Buicks & Pontiacs, I must have been 10 years old then.     There were no Metro Aides, Bayani Fernando Cleaners, and stores cleaned their areas.  Pedestrians were also very disciplined. Very little “hukays” and Manholes were clean and were clearly visible to pedestrians. People were so disciplined.  Take a look at the Pedxings. I remember this part of Escolta as my Dad would buy us Boursege’s from Greg Shoes or Ang Tibay.  It could be much better looking than Colehaans and Ferragamos.  The streets were shiny, much like the streets of Singapore now. LYRIC Theatre (in the photo below), IDEAL, STATE, ODEON were the best theatres.  Environment inside and outside ....absolutely clean.  There were no double parking allowed and drivers followed.  Streets didn’t have 2 policemen and 4 Traffic Aides for each corner.  You’d be safe even if you held a clutch bag while shopping. Manholes were covered well and during those days, I remember them....as clean and polished, much like those you’d see in Champ Elysee’.  We could beat Paris .  Ang ganda ng bayan natin noon. Dencia’s was famous for Pansit Mami, much like Mamonluk or Ricebowl. P1.50 ang Mami, 10 sentimo ang coca cola.  5 centimo ang sarsaparilla. This was very near Villalobos and Carriedo. Look at the jeepneys.  They were not overloaded.  Pasig was very clean.  The photographer must have taken this photo (below)  October to December timeframe.  But Pasig , during summer would have beautiful water lilies, tiny Quiapo’s floating amidst white, yellow and purple water lilies that I remember.  Water from our rich and abundant rivers were emerald green and blue.  Napakalinis and walang amoy.  In fact, I know for a fact that a lot of private yachts would pass through our Pasig River from various parts of Rizal, Malabon and Marikina .  It was beautiful.  Manila was just a beautiful place. If you’d take an L5 plane or a Piper Cab and take pictures of Dewey Boulevard (now Roxas Boulevard) from above, you’d be so proud to say, that the place is much better than Cote’ d Azure.  My Dad would even bring soldiers sick of asthma from the PAF, so that they could do early morning breathing exercises at 5AM.  Environment was just so very clean, air was refreshing, and take a look at the sea....wasn’t that a gift given to us during those days?! Sidewalks were not extended to suit the pedestrians.   Quiapo Church was a blessed monument.  Nagbibigayan ang mga drivers.  Bihira ang nag-gigitgitan. Avenida Rizal was a treat to everyone.  There were no prostitutes nor body-brokers. Avenida was not a fickle place.  It was not  a “now a bistro boulevard, tomorrow a street; now a tiangge or night market and tomorrow a bistro boulevard”.  It was a simple avenida where everyone enjoyed to see what was “now showing”, what movie was “extended showing”, and if Otis or Good Earth had a big sale !!!   It was just a big clean place.  Ayala Avenue was just like Wilshire Boulevard .  Clean and no pollution.  You can walk and enjoy the sun.  Napakalinis.  Walang masyadong Trash bins pero walang basura sa paligid. Even Parks like Fort Santiago was much better.  No vendors, no cafe’s.  There was not even an ATM machine.  Malinis ang paligid. And then, we had more technocrats, more intelligent people educated here and.................. stateside. What did we do to our environment ? Sayang. Maswerte kami noon.  Mas na mas maswerte kami noon.  We saw a country that was much cleaner, a much better place to live in and a truly healthy place.         Words to live by:   Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.     P Please be gentle with our Planet - Print e-mails only when necessary   This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Hello there!

 

It’s been too long since I post here at my blog. Well, I’m so busy busyhan! I didn’t open it for long months. Many occasions happens this past month. After Christmas and New Year, our town fiesta was celebrated last January 20. Then followed by the event we organized for the feast of San Sebastian in Lumban Laguna which called “Lupe” or the ending celebration of our town fiesta. We organized new religious group named “Tropa ni Bro”. Don’t worry I’ll just make a post regarding this event even though its too late. I’ll find a time to post it or you may check my facebook account or my friends account. You may search it via facebook and become a member.

 

Then watch out for our summer vacation at Boracay coming this April, we already had plane tickets and resort reservation at Boracay.

 

Before that, holy week is coming so another thing to watch out! Full of summer activities, fun and adventures are coming to our barkadahan!

 

These pictures are our tamby last March 5-6, 2010 at NAIA 2, MOA, and Lumban. Just want to post these pictures. Nothing else just fun, actually last Friday after my work, I went home to get my bag and went to MOA to meet my friends. We eat at Max’s restaurant then hang out at around the mall including the sea side at that mall; then went to Zest air ticketing office for reservation before going home. At my friend’s quarters, we chat all night before we sleep. Take some online social networking. The next day we went to NAIA 2 we just to drop by and accompany my friend because he is working there. Then we go back to MOA to pay the reservation ticket for our Boracay. And do some shopping and tamby before we went home. I took the jeepney going to Buendia while my friend took a bus going to Mandaluyong. Because I will go home to Lumban, what a 3hrs traveled by bus or van. I arrived at Lumban at around 9pm, then eat my dinner before going to my tamby with friends again, were so excited because I show to them our ticket confirmation and our itinerary for Boracay. That weekend is so busy for my tamby! Well so happy to meet them again after a week. Moment with my friends is such a priceless things and a lifetime memories.

 

Thanks,
