Mia’s Church High
I'm usually not the biggest eager beaver when Holy Week rolls around. But my mom and my guy are. So I decided this year, Visita Iglesia will be extra special for me. Instead of going to the usual churches that are near my place, we went to churches I liked—old churches with interesting architectural details, none near my place at all. Every time I get to visit a nice old church, I feel like I'm in another time and place (the ones in Ilocos are amazing 
).
We had to park in the weirdest places, push through huge crowds, and go home later than usual—but it was all so worth it. Because finding a new way to do the same old thing made me more excited about my faith, and reminded me why I love our country so much.
Check out some of my fave shots from that night:
Me in turista mode!
Manila Cathedral all lit up and festive
Love, love those columns. I wish I could have one in my room.
The new Eager Beaver Holy Week Mia
Gothic, slightly creepy, very beautiful. San Sebastian Cathedral's parts came from all over the world.
Looks like a castle doorway, noh?
I couldn't stop looking at this.
I have a thing for bell towers (ever since I went to field school), and this one is Sta. Ana's.
There was a full moon that night, and it definitely added to the festive vibe.

Miss Mia!
I love your turista mode picture. 
But I do not like old churches so much. Uhmm, it kind of scares me.
I have a verrrrry wild imagination kasi. :-/
Anyway, Miss, ang ganda ng new headshot mo sa mag.
And the class picture too. Love it! Love everything in the issue.

Roreyn, you’re so right! I felt it was a great time to say thanks too.
Ayessa, I know what you mean about the creepy factor. Once, I had to go to an old church site late at night because my group mate and I were arguing about the position of the ruins. We didn’t realize how creepy it would be until we got there!
Angel, am still inggit with your Batanes pics!
