Angono Petroglyphs

Angono Petroglyphs is deemed the “oldest work of art in the Philippines, with 127 engraved human and animal figureson the rock wall, probably carved during the late Neolithic era.” This site is also among the historic sites of the World Monuments Watch and World Monuments Fund.

Movie Stars Café

For many people, a visit to the Movie Stars Café is largely because of its unique featuring of Hollywood and fantasy super heroes and many other characters from Marvel and Pixar.

People may have been coming here with their family and friends for the entertainment, because there are generous offerings of cosplays, and these alone make the visit memorable.

Grand Canal - Venice Piazza

The facade is pretty much a large imitation of Venice’s landmark, much to the delight of the “selfie” loving Pinoys. My family and I were blessed to be able to capture photographs of this site whilst it was not yet as crowded as it is now, of this writing. And how could anyone resist the Grand Canal Mall, especially the ‘gondola’ leisurely ride that could provide a mimicked experience once exclusive in the “City of Lovers” for Php500 per person.

About Side Tripper

“Make sure you don’t take any side trips,” warns Schumler, from a phrase in the 1993 American film Swing Kids. If you are someone who does not have time to lose, then it is better for you to stick to your main agenda, because there is something about side tripping that submerges the soul in experiences that sometimes make you hope that time would stand still, as the experiences they bring can be more impactful than the main trip itself. It is that free flowing agenda, an unexpected sleepover or a detour that has unintentionally brought pleasant surprises. You can live without it, like you can eat a cake without its icing, but your journey may not be as meaningful. If travel is the ‘best medicine for the heart’,* then for me, side trips are secret ingredients to the most memorable travels and other events that can happen in between or off the main route of one’s itineraries. Welcome to Side Tripper, a collection of photographs and blogs about the many side trip adventures of our family and friends. *Source: The Global Commission on Aging and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, in partnership with the U.S. Travel Association (Los Angeles Times, December 17, 2013 by Chris Erskine)
