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.

PLAZA INDEPENDENCIA

The Plaza Independencia is locally famous for its "dating" scenes. (Fact is, a lot of couples spend their "quality time" here) Why? Maybe because of its serenity or the breathe of fresh sea air as it is located near the port or maybe because of its strategic location as it is just a few blocks away from metro Cebu and the Sto. Nino Cathedral. Apart from having no entrance fee, the plaza has been newly renovated (when I went there) with more light posts, and wider space for strolling, jogging, biking, or parking. There's also a gazebo with medium-sized platform (I thought of this as a stage, strategic for holding a zumba exercise class. haha!)

Despite its remodeling into a modern kind of plaza, its role in history remains the same. What most people don't know is that this plaza has witnessed historical events since its establishment as a Plaza in the early1600's. That time, it was known as Plaza de Armas. Read here for more information)
