Weekend Snapshots




This is the St. Augustine Church more popularly know as Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. It was built in 1694 and was made out of baked bricks, coral rocks, tree sap and lumber, and has 24 carved buttresses. This was taken in the Holy Week during my officemate's vacation.


While this one is the Heritage Village in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.
He had his grand vacation while we stayed behind the office working on skeletal workforce.

Seen in the pictures is his wife Anne.
I miss Ilocos.The place, the food, the beach and the people.
The first and last time I was there was in college about a gazillion years ago.
