doors of perception

“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception” ~ Aldous Huxley

i dont know what is it about doors that i love, especially old intricate doors. they always make my mind wander off and let my imagination run wild... anyways i found this door in an old somewhat abandoned mosoleum inside the La Loma Cemetery, if you click on the photo you would notice that the chains locking the door are already covered with rusts.

also, i would like to congratulate President elect Barack Obama - the 44th and the first black President of US, wishing him all the best and hoping that he can keep his promise, indeed change has come!

limbo's folly

one of the interesting old houses within the F.R. Hildago Street. acutally what really captured my attention is its doors, and the intriguing faded limbo's folly painted in it. and peeking in from the outside i was intrigued on what's inside behind this beautiful door. tomorrow i'll share with you the beauty behind limbo's folly :D

bahay nakpil-bautista

Open to the public, the Bahay Nakpil-Bautista is one of the'must' places in Manila to visit, located at 432 A. Bautista (formerly Barbosa) Street, perpendicular to Hidalgo Street opposite Quiapo Church. A. Bautista Street is parallel to Quezon Boulevard in Quiapo.

The house was built by Dr. Ariston Bautista ( a doctor who discovered a drug against cholera and is a known philantropist) and his wife Petrona Nakpil. The house was designed by architect Arcadio Arellano on 1914. Here also lived Julio Nakpil, brother of Petrona who married Gregoria de Jesus (widow of Andres Bonifacio, father of the Philippine Revolution). Julio Nakpil is also the composer of the Katipunan.
