Fort San Pedro Cebu
Last night I stumbled upon this blog dedicated to Cebu City named Cebu City Photos. I was checking some of his photos and it was cool. I'm here in Cebu for more than 2 weeks now and I'm still on the process of familiarizing the places here. The blog has been a very big help to me specialy in discovering new and exciting places here in Cebu. I saw one of his post about the Fort San Pedro here in Cebu and I was excited about it. When it comes to historical places here in the Philippines, I'm always go with it. So I decided to go to the place and try to check everything about it. When I got there, I immediately went inside but the problem is theres's a wedding reception being held inside. I went back outside and try to observe the people coming in and out. While waiting outside, I was talking to an old man outside selling key chains and offering paid photographs to the tourists. If I'm not mistaken, his name is Mang Victor. Mang Victor has been working in the area for about 15 years now. Mang Victor told me that it is OK to get inside the Fort. I went inside the Fort and asked the receptionist and she let me in but will have to pay 30Php for the entrance fee. The lower ground has been restricted because of the wedding reception and the only place allowed to the tourists are the upper level. It was really nice inside. I tried thinking the history of the place and realized that life before is very simple. People doesn't have cellphones, camera, laptops, electricity and other basic needs that the new civilization is enjoying. I think I can't live their life. I'm so used to the modern world. I had a great experience inside the Fort San Pedro and will discover more exciting places here in Cebu. Next stop? Taoist Temple!

Magellan's Cross
Mactan Bridge I
I have a friend from Davao who is currently working here in Cebu. We met once because I'd like to show him my new toy and also, to ask some advice from him about the basics of photography. His name is Raymund or others call him Bon, owner of RabPhotography. Raymund is a good friend of mine way back in Davao and he taught me a lot of things when it comes to computer, photography and other stuff. I asked him once if where are the good spots here in Cebu to take pictures, he advised me to try the Mactan Bridge. I went to Mactan Bridge and took some shots of it. The image above has been cropped to remove some unnecessary objects in the picture. This is the Mactan Bridge I and I never thought that Mactan Bridge II is way better than the I. Mactan Bridge II has a park beside it when I cross it on my way to Naval. Well, next time I'll try to go there and take some shot of the Mactan Bridge II.
