It's amazing how something 'illegal' can seem so appropriate. Nyarks... did I just say that? I was able to buy six new movies (Milk, Revolutionary Road, Slumdog Millionaire - this one's surprisingly awesome, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, Changeling & The Secret Life of Bees) for only Php200. Nope, haven't watched them all yet! I also bought the complete season of Smallville, thus, my current Clark Kent re-addiction (was before but I got tired of watching Lana Lang collecting boyfriends) and some (as usual) Korean novelas.
Note how my sister's hubby looks like he could disappear right there and then 'coz of too much embarrassment. =)From Quiapo, we walked along the cramped streets and narrow alleyways until we reached Carriedo, Sta.Cruz and passed through a lot of Jewellery shops in Ongpin. This photo I 'borrowed' from Nostalgia Manila and the photo I've taken using my ever-reliable KRZR cam phone shows that nothing's changed at the Plaza Goiti (Carriedo), except the fountain in the middle and probably, the stench.
Fun day all in all and I wouldn't trade it for a cozy 'date' at a coffeeshop... =)

I love Quiapo. As crowded and messy at it may be (though surprisingly, not so much of the latter), it's still a very interesting place to go to and get lost.
Haha, may picture din ako ng Plaza Goiti, habang nakatayo sa Carriedo station. I love the old feel of Quiapo. Sana ma-maintain nila yun.
yea, it's one of the oldest landmarks (if you could call it that) of old manila...
will always love quiapo, chaos and all... =)
