A GAZEBO OF JOURNEYS AND RANDOM THOUGHTS OF AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER. Life is a series of pictures. Some blurred, others vivid and sharp; some are panoramic while others are close-up views with tiny little flaws. You may be taken by a luxurious DSLR camera or a plain Point and Shoot Cam, but in the end, when all of the films are used up and all batteries empty, people all have one thing in common: what we leave are footprints in the sand, pictures in the album, and flashes of memories.

THE WORLD'S LARGEST SHOES (Marikina)

This happened way way way way way (super way) back in August 2011 when I first set foot in Manila. 
Ooopsies! I have forgotten that this had been only a draft in this blog. (I am very forgetful, sorry)

Marikini City, known as the Shoe Capital of the Philippines had already stood up and recovered from the cruel catastrophe "Ondoy" when I arrived. We went to the Marikina Riverbanks Center (where my aunt worked), and there, I was welcomed widely, enormously and largely by the 

World's Largest Pair of Shoes (Guinness Book of World Records).

they say a total of 30 "normal" people can fit inside. O.o

529 cm x 237 cm in size

I stayed in Marikina for a while, embracing and trying to adapt to the hustle and bustle of this city. I honestly enjoyed my stay and had my first taste of Burger King....


and yet another taste of my all-time favorite COFFEE --- which I truly missed the most. (Sadly, there's no Starbucks in my hometown)
