2011, you're mine and I know it!
Last week, I went to the famous Shrine of Our Lady of Manaoag in Manaoag, Pangasinan. Well because it was lunch and I had time to kill. I don’t have a store in the area, but it was on the way to my store in Pozorrubio. It was my first time there so I said a few prayers… then took my camera out for some test shots (trying hard to be a photographer haha!):

I wasn’t surprised that the area was already a bit touristy. Leading to the church and on the way back, street vendors and beggars hounded me to buy their goods or give them money. Well, siyempre because people always make a pilgrimage to Manaoag to fervently pray for something, such as passing an examination or if they have a major petition. I’m glad it’s only in my area, about 20-30 minutes away from Dagupan so it’s easy to go anytime :)
