join me as i rediscover the beauty of manila through one photo a day
Please note that i am not a professional photographer. To those who are curious the camera i'm using is Canon Powershot A520.
UPDATE: a very kind soul gave me an ultra nice and spanking new Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS, last October 2008 which i have been using non-stop since then... Thanks again to the one and only Reyna Elena
UPDATE2: last 2009 i finally got myself a DSLR - Canon Rebel Xsi (Canon 450D) to be exact, and have been alternately using it with the PS from REynz
COPYRIGHT. i cant stop anyone from copying my photos, but if you are going to post it or use it in your blog or website please do link this blog or an attribution will do. thanks

voila ce qu'il nous faudrait en France pour pouvoir aller travailler pendant la grève. Un très beau cote nostalgique.
Je te souhaite un bon weekend
Voila what we need in France to go to work during the strike. A beautiful symbol of nostalgia.
I wish you a good weekend
Very nice photo. A good-looking horse who is very dedicated to his job.

I didn't know calesas are still allowed in the more upscale areas of Manila. I know caratelas (the one that has more passenger seats) were a nuisance in our old neighborhood but they served a useful purpose of transporting people around.
parang alamko ito ha??? malapit na ito sa round table!!!
@olivier - yeah this calesa could help the ongoing strike at paris! =)
@oldmanlicoln - thanks,
@bertn - calesa's still ply along certain manila areas
@peter - your right kid, i was standing in front of planetarium
They are popular in tourist areas and in Binondo where locals still use them.
Nice picture with the Manila Hotel as background!
eto ba yung kabayo na hinimatay? btw, nice blog! CHeers!
@sidney - thanks, when i saw the calesa coming, i really waited for the them to be on that spot :)
@shanoon- hindi naman at buti na lang :) thanks for dropping by
