      Thanks. Do you watch Lovers in Paris (Filipino version)? I saw from previous trailer that they shoot one of the scenes here.

    The photo is great… However, the meaning I grasped is heart-breaking—to bathe in public and not in a bathing place. *sigh*

      I had mixed emotions when I saw the boy. But I think at that moment he feels very lucky to being able to have regular access to the “pool”. And yes, it’s heartbreaking at the same time.

    what a nice to to get refreshed on a hot day! buti di sya hinuli ng pulis! he! he!

    yes, we choose our lives, we can make it either simple or complicated. i prefer the former.

    Wow ang galing ng photos mo. Heartwarming and truly real. I have been to this place many times but this is the first time I’ve seen a kid taking a shower in that fountain

    I see an artistic symbolism in these pics. But reality wise, it represent a negative side of our society.

    the kid provides a captivating contrast. Better than any cold statue I suppose.
