Last week was a really tiring but good week. Mark and I went all around Manila making supply purchases and looking for one very important but rare material that I needed for a necklace design. It's been a huge headache looking for that material since it's not common in the Philippines but I finally secured a supplier for it last Sunday and made a good deal with her. I can finally be happy for the rest of this week!  

So, after that runabout, Mark and I dropped by Intramuros for a short walk. We passed by the area a few days ago but found it impossible finding a parking space so we decided to just drop by on a weekend. Good thing there weren't that many people last Sunday and parking was available everywhere. 

For those who aren't from the Philippines, Intramuros is a walled fortification in the city of Manila built during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines late 16th century. The place is rich with history and a few structures with amazing architecture and interiors that have been there since the Spanish era can still be seen around this small "city". War has ravaged a great part of Intramuros though, and today, the place mostly houses a number of the city's top colleges, government offices, restaurants, museums and parks. 

I'm a big architecture and history fan and although I've been to Intramuros countless times, I have to say every visit feels like a new one. I would've wanted to stay longer but we only had less than an hour to spare so we were only able to walk the wall. Which explains why I wasn't able to really take photos of the structures. And there also was the fact that I forgot to recharge the camera. Thankfully, it allowed us to snap a few shots before finally draining out. 

Second day of another work-filled week. Lots of work to do. Hoping to finish the new pieces real soon. Inspirations and ideas are running like mad in my head and I just can't wait to see them for real.
