Globe Lumpia - Quiapo's Special Treat

There are a lot of places to see in Quiapo. It's a hobbyist heaven whether it be music, arts and crafts, sport, photography or whatever it may be, Quiapo is the place to go because of the affordable price of the things here. You can explore the whole district and wont be able to help yourself in shopping. But if in case that you get hungry from your trip, I highly recommend on eating at Globe Lumpia House in Gonzalo Puyat street. It was established in 1956 at Globe theater in Quiapo. The theater/movie house building is already closed for decades but the lumpia store survived the test of time. They served freshly prepared lumpia made of vegetables, peanut and lettuce and a special sweet sauce. The taste is so good that they are always featured in different television shows. The long queue at their store is another proof that they are serving delicious food. Just imagine for less than PHP20.00 you can order can 1 serving of their famous lumpia. 

Try it out and tell me you're experience at Globe Lumpia. 

Canon Click, Print and Treat

Canon does it again! They had organized activity together with HidalgoGomez Store Owners Association in putting up this Halloween event, Click, Print and Treat. It was a photography workshop at the same time cosplay competition. The workshop was facilitated by Canon Brand Ambassador, Jay Tablante and the Cosplay Queen Alodia Gosiengfiao.

I really learned a lot of things from Jay. I now understand what he means with "Photography is the last thing you should now". Its really a plus factor if a photographer knows something about makeup,fashion, clothes because that makes it easier for him to work and collaborate ideas with his group.

Another lesson that he had shared is that one should never stop in being child and imagine. It can get you all the inspiration that you need to create a wonderful shot.

Here are some photos from the event

They were also giving away cool prizes for those with great photos. The theme for the contest  is Cosplayers in Quiapo. Too bad my shots weren't that good enough. Hopefully next time I can win in one of their contest. 

Anyway congrats to Canon and everyone who had organized the event. Hopefully this will pave the way in bringing more people to shop in Quiapo.
