i just got back at the office from a trip to quiapo manila to buy camera/lens filters (whatevs) which will be used for upcoming photo shoots for the calendar. only two of the stores i went to carry the specific filters we need. by the end, i forgot which of the stores i asked and ended up asking some of them twice! and some of the salesladies were already giving me strange looks. i then gave up and went back to the two stores to buy the filters.
afterwards, the driver and i dropped by balikbayan handicrafts at pasay rd to browse for possible gifts suitable for a foreign contact who's leaving to go back to his native land. the proponent specifically asked for crystal figurines depicting different pinoy aspects encased in glass. since i don't have a proper camera, ended up taking these pictures in my camera phone to show them. most of them are actually waaay out of their budget.
a really good-looking but delicate bahay-kubo
an eternally-bound couple pounding rice
the king of our roads, the jeepney; and
a coconut tree
i'm wondering if i should just give them the "machete" statue in front of the store =D
oh, and i'm meeting a couple of friends for lunch tomorrow, and then its stardust for us =D
