Natanggal yung hika ng sister ko. :) ~ But that was in the early fifties.-

My Tia Inez also used to take me to Luneta to enjoy the Manila Bay air because I was a sickly child, Reyd -- about the same time as when your dad used to take your sister there for a morning stroll. I sure hope that the bay hasn't lost its healing powers to date.

Iceberg's is still over there at Harbour Square, Cacofonix :) However, the eateries along Baywalk have all been torn down. Heard that a designated area in Intramuros will host a similar row of night spots and eateries instead -- sort of to revive the Walled City's night life. I think they ought to revive the daily cultural shows in the clamshell as when they did during the time of Dick Gordon as the tourism secretary.

You can't imagine how crazed I got, Carla, trying to get a parking spot along Roxas Boulevard so I could capture yesterday's sunset.
The weather was just glorious which we haven't had lately due to the rains. Luckily, I was able to take this photograph just before the sun finally disappeared in the horizon :)
Thanks, Carla!-

My kids love going to the baywalk. They can just sit on those walls and stare. Even at the junk below. Right now, they're misssing those dinosaurs which they removed last month. And that giant shark.
I have some baywalk pics but not nearly as nice as yours. However, I think models are a lot prettier than yours :)

In all honesty, 'coz of your blogsite, this certain desire, hunger and yearning to be back home was ignited within me. I left Maynila when I was 11, and am far too young to appreciate what I do now. Again thru your blogsite, certain yearnings are pacified, but the hunger n the thirsts continues to grow. ( that song by Asin, Bayan Ko, playing in my head) LOL. But don't get me wrong, this is not to put blame on u ; ) in fact just to let you know that I thank you for creating this desire to be back. Please keep up the great work that you re doing and more power to you Senor Enrique!

Wonderful pictures. It looks like you've been photowalking around Baywalk & Harbour Square lately.
Manila Bay is very beautiful. I hope the garbage there gets cleaned up already.-
Señor Enrique said...
Pare-pareho lahat tayo, Nell. We have very fond memories of Manila Bay :)

Señor Enrique said...
You girls are just so adorable, Scrooch!
I miss those dinosaurs and the shark, too :(-
Señor Enrique said...
It's all right, Romy -- you can put the blame on me because I love teasing our fellow Pnoys now abroad with lovely pictures of old Manila ... hehehe!
Just the same, it's here waiting for you when you're ready to come home for a visit :)
Thanks for visiting my site!-
Señor Enrique said...
Manila Bay sunsets are just simply smashing, Kyels! Our true pride and joy.
Thank you :)-
Señor Enrique said...
You're right Photowalker, I've been photowalking lots lately :)
Thanks so much ... and yes, I didn't see much garbage. It probably got cleaned up :)-

Beautiful photos! I'm going to live by the bay next year. I'm so excited!

As an artist one of my favorite subjects to paint is the sunset. Like you beautiful photo of the Manila sunset. I have seen so many sunsets during our many travels. My favorite is the Hawaiian sunset. If you have time,I'd like to invite you to check out my art blog on June 26,2007 (The Art Of
Seeing The Sunset):

You are so fortunate, Toe. Ah ... waking up to a view of a gorgeous sunrise or winding down from a busy day with a gorgeous sunset ... what more could you ask for?

Señor Enrique said...
Wonderful entry on sunsets, Ebb Tide! And such beautiful paintings of yours :)
You are a talented artist, indeed!-
Señor Enrique said...
Hello Ai!
I feel the same way! I guess, it's because I have many fond memories of the bay :)-
Señor Enrique said...
Nothing to be apologetic for, IndioBravo :)
Our Manila Bay sunset happens to be one of the most gorgeous, romantic, and soothing!-
