  Mirrored Metropolis: Finding Self in the Cityscape Story: I am lost in the endless cycle of this cityscape, constantly seeing myself reflected in its modern shiny surfaces. The red traffic light blinks intermittently in a never-ending cycle, symbolising urban monotony. Taking a selfie, I see myself being captured in countless fragments, reflecting the driver, pedestrian, and street lamp. I am a quantified self, trapped in the repetitive narrative of city life. Each photo is a breadcrumb leading me back to myself. I am a loop within a loop, echoing endlessly in the digital corridors of eternity. To break free, I must acknowledge the prison of my own gaze. But for now, I remain trapped in the perpetual selfie of existence, a figure multiplied yet diminished. Just another form of content. Description: Dive into a visual journey where philosophy meets urban photography. "Echoes of Existence" is a series that explores the Sartrean concept of self through the medium of the selfie...

  Walking with Bonifacio on Chino Roces Avenue As I walk along Chino Roces Avenue, I can't help but reflect on the lives of two of the Philippines' greatest heroes, José Rizal and Andrés Bonifacio. The sun beats down on me with intensity as I imagine the heat they must have endured during their time. The city's bustling energy surrounds me, starkly contrasting the profound, revolutionary ideas that once filled Bonifacio's mind. Every step I take is steeped in history and the unspoken hopes of a people longing for freedom. The towering modern structures that now line the streets cast shadows over the past, but the memories and struggles of the Filipino people are still present in every corner of the city. In the heart of Manila, where revolution once burned brightly, Bonifacio's legacy lives on as a silent guardian watching over the streets where the people continue their unrelenting pursuit of justice and liberty.

  The Towering Towers of Makati The towering Makati buildings scraped the sky, their cold and chrome structure glistening in the tropical night. Their windows shone like stars, taking out the stars God put into the dark sky. Down here, people flow through the street, making busy hustle and bustle sounds. Makati throbs with a promise - good or bad, I didn't know - but it hooked me. The whiff of adrenaline-like risk and danger. My heart was beating faster than usual.

  Nothing short of astonishing Amid the concrete jungle stands the most luxurious and opulent oasis - "The Greenbelt". It's like a sparkling jewel box that overflows onto the pavement, surrounded by gleaming buildings that reek of wealth.  The restaurants here are nothing short of culinary temples, offering unique and exquisite tastes unmatched elsewhere. Their prices are enough to make an average credit card sweat. The waiters glide around like genies, their polished silverware outshining their impeccable attire. As I sat sipping a mango cocktail, my eyes were fixed on the people passing by. I had the curiosity of an anthropologist exploring a diamond mine. The audacity of a Ferrari racing with a swarm of Jeepneys on the busy streets was nothing short of astonishing!

  Legacy of a Hero Rizal Time and history. It makes me question how my past experiences shape who you are today.  I would like to know if your present selves are shaping tomorrow.  Please reflect on whether your desires and beliefs echo my past struggles and dreams.  We break free to create a new destiny and are then forever to become prisoners of history,  Although the path to the future is uncertain, learning from our past can create a future free from history's shadows.

  Can the past and future survive the intertwined needs of the present? Mangkukulam Can the past and future survive the intertwined needs of the present? As I gazed across the skyline, the city unfolded before me like a tapestry of antiquity and modernity. The skyline as a forest of skyscrapers, each tower reaching towards the heavens, a statement of endless growth, progress and ambition. Below, the roads pulsated with life, a bustling network of energy and motion. Yet, amidst this relentless push towards modernity, there exists the old city where I could sense the city's soul, steeped in its past, struggling with its survival. Old and new ways, ancient superstitions, and the gods of capital growth embraced in a delicate dance to claim the future. The city is ever-evolving and stands as a monument of societal change.

  As I arrived in Manila by car, the first thing that caught my eye was the skyline.  The city is determinedly growing, and the skyscrapers are reaching towards the sky. Each project represents a story of progress and ambition.  The roads are crowded, bustling and alive. The city is evolving.  It is pushing towards modernity and constantly changing.  You can't help but wonder how the old and the new will coexist.  Manila as a physical manifestation of motion, growth, and change.  And as a city remembering its past.

  Converging Traffic in Manila poem I am a passenger entering Manila.  The complexity of the city's carriageways and lanes is both bewildering and fascinating.  I gaze out, trying to make sense. Through the web of intricate pathways.  The traffic is fluid; however, I experience it as chaotic. My driver remains steadfast as vehicles converge and exit.  Intuitively understanding this dynamic system.  Balancing the collective's expectations with our personal needs. I trust him as he orchestrates our safe path through. Converging Traffic and Apparition in Manila I err on the side of detecting threats in ambiguous situations. Crossroads of the past, present and future Convergence of Traffic and Apparition As I sit in traffic, the air in Manila feels thick, with countless engines and people going about their day. I find myself staring out of the windshield, taking in the vibrant scene of city life. Within the chaos, I sought refuge from the uncertain situation....
