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.

Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu (the return)

I went to Cebu last week to claim my PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) license and also to catch up with my college friends. Oh God, how I miss this place!

It was a Friday when I arrived, the novena day for Senior Santo Niño, so I immediately headed to the basilica after eating a satisfying breakfast at Chowking just across the church. 

I attended the mass and as promised (see article here), I captured more scenes on the infamous basilica. 
However, I missed (yet again!) one shot of the real relic of the Santo Niño. 

Oh, there's always a next time. :)

THE FACADE



The maroon-and-gold dressed women selling their candles and prayer offerings.

The belfry




This is the wide area for masses on Fridays and special occasions.
"Dagkotanan" (candle-lighting area)


A travel that satisfies the heart 
and fills the brain with cherished memories. 
This is TRAVEL-licious.
