Foot and Fire

*** Not exactly as picturesque as old churches in the Philippines, St. Anthony Church is a modern church painted in cool pastel pink said to be established after many Indians in Kuala Lumpur started to be converted as Roman Catholics in the late 19th century. They have sermons in English and Tamil. This Church has a pretty updated website too.  *** *** *** *** *** *** Since we stayed at  Jalan Pudu Street, my solemate and dedicated churchgoer Arlene and I traced the street only to realize that our hotel is on one end and this street called Jalan Robertson is on the opposite end of Jalan Pudu. This Jalan Robertson is a short street with the Church as dead end. There are many constructions around the church when we were there this April 2014, which might keep the church out of sight by the time you are looking for this church. Well, my tip is, just look for Jalan Pudu which has a train station... ***

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines. In April this year, I chanced to visit Baguio City for a very short time and it happens that it was noon time when my friend and I got there. The heat hit me like I am not in the Summer capital of the Philippines. What can I expect, given that it was summer and it was noon time. My friend and I went to the Mine's View Park and the Lourdes Grotto. The Mine's View was over crowded with stalls that tourists can hardly enjoy the view in the small viewing area. It was such a disappointment because the souvenir and pasalabong shops were mushrooming side by side each other with no air to breathe in between. When I get back, I shall prioritize in visiting Camp John Hay rather than this touristy area which is not that crowded eight summers ago. I was just happy that I was able to climb the Lourdes Grotto despite the direct sunlight... Here are my photos of the Mines's View: *** *** *** The allure of Mine's View...
