One day while having a conversation with Jet, a thought
passed by my mind. It’s about other countries’ images as being overrated. Top
with a huge flag of US on it, notebooks covered with Eiffel tower and other
beautiful places in Europe, accessories, bags and other stuffs. I don’t have
any bad thoughts about it; there’s nothing wrong with it. I am just thinking if
Filipinos are aware about the wonders of our country? I mean, do they plan to
explore these wonders? I have this dream in my life: to travel around the
world. BUT ahead of that, I would like to travel around my own homeland
Philippines.
Quiapo is just an ordinary place for others. They work
there, they live there and it’s just nothing. Exceptionally, for me it is
something, something remarkable. Why? There are many reasons. These reasons I
just discovered last Friday when we went there. One could be the people
struggling very hard for their living is everywhere there. You can easily see
the eagerness to earn for their living in their faces. It’s up to you whether
you’ll feel good about it or bad. I feel good because I believe that hard work
pays off no matter what. Next is, of course, the historical Black Nazarene
Church, where devotees come and make adoration. And others like the assortment of
everything anything, from food to clothing, religious figures, electronic
equipment and a lot more other knickknack comes subsequently.
People there are so busy but they still manage to smile. If I
had a camera then, I would have absolutely take tons of photos. I realized that
every Filipino must spend a day in that place. Quiapo, a place in Philippines
with loads of emotions, stories and positive vibes.
