This is a hallway of Caleruega Church in Tagaytay City. This church is famous for its serenity and nice landscape. Most dream weddings are held here. About two hours away from Manila, it's a frequent destination for Catholics and non-Catholics for some contemplation and sightseeing.
An empty bench. I can feel its emptiness. Taken from the balcony of my colleagues' house in Tagaytay. You can tell that I'm a frequent visitor of that city. :)
The clock just hit 12:00 midnight, March 24. It's supposed to be a 'world shutdown of computers day'. It's an experiment to see if we can do that and what will happen if we do that. I'm not 100% sure I can do that since mostly, it's only during weekends that I get to go online. But I have an appointment with my orthodontist-bestfriend in the morning and will have a tooth extraction. So I have to rest in the afternoon and will probably catch up on my movie backlogs.
So far from the survey in the site, "I can" is a lot, lot higher than "I cannot". Let's see what we will get from this experiment. :)

Happy Friday, Lynn ! How are you ?
I like the idea of shut-down day --I think I can do it !
I liked the pictures you had up on you post -- that hallway looked peaceful, and I wanted to sit down on the bench !
Thank you for coming by my blog to visit, and leaving that nice comment about my feast !
typo - your
Beautiful photos. They both give of a sense of peacefulness. I want to go sit on that bench and enjoy some sun.
Happy weekend Annie and Vader's Mom. Thanks for liking my pictures! :)
*be back later. am off to my dentist now...*
I'll be shutting down so I posted early. Both of these are great shots, but I really like the bench photo.

Empty indeed, but it gives me the sence of peacefulness.
Very nice photos, great use of the theme. I had my own mini shut down computer day today because we had our electrical meter failed last night. It made me realize how much we take for granted all things electrical....
Great shots for today!

Beautiful photos! :)
Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful bench. I'm filipina so looking at your photos makes me a little bit homesick...
Hope your trip to the dentist wasn't too painful. Great pictures for the Hunt. Good choices for empty but so peaceful.
That is a beautiful photo! You're enticed to walk down the hallway and then sit on the bench.
~~~Beautiful~~~
Good luck with your tooth!
What a beautiful and peaceful looking place.
thanks for stopping by!
Well, you can certainly see why people would go there for contemplation in those lovely surroundings - and the bench looks very peaceful too, very inviting!
Thanks for visiting :)
Very pretty photos. Looks quiet and peaceful.
Lynn, thanks for stopping by for the first time. One of my best friends is from the Philippines!! She was an exchange student when we were both in high school in Illinois. Now I live in Georgia here in the states and she lives in New York. We have not seen in each other in some time now but still write!! Thanks for stopping and I hope you come back again. Great use of today's word...Sandy
BEAUTIFUL photographs. They actually illustrate a peace and serenity about being empty that the word alone does not convey. Thank you for stopping by Pollywog Creek and enjoy your day off the Internet!
Beautiful shots- I like benches

Such a peaceful looking place!
I´d love to relax for a while on the bench =)
lovely bench pic, thanks for visiting us
That is a beautiful church! I would love to sit and meditate on that bench too. I'm wondering: is this computer day the reason I can't find many photo hunts on the blog roll? I'm going thru name after name and nothing!
Beautiful photos! That church is lovely. :) Great choices for the theme!
Thanks for visiting!
theres no way I would do National Shutdown day for my computer! Beatiful photos! I love the empty bench!
What a gorgeous and peaceful place. It would be lovely to stroll those grounds and sit reading with peace and quiet all around. Great picture for the theme. Thanks for the visit.
What a beautiful place, I'd love to explore it. I'd curl up on that bench for a nap.
Good luck with computer shut down day. And thanks for visiting my bloggie.

Hi Lynn.
Thanks for visiting my photo hunt. Sorry for the late visit. I got home a bit late. I'll share about my wonderful day on my blog soon.
That's a beautiful church. You're right, many wonderful weddings have been held there.
Great photos for this week's theme. That empty bench seems like a lonely image but I'm sure it doesn't stay vacant for too long. It looks like a cozy spot for a nice conversation.
Hope everything has gone well with your visit to the orthodontist.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
how beautiful! lovely pics. and thanks for stopping by.
great choice for the hunt...lovely and very peaceful...
That's not the sort of church I'm used to seeing, nice photos thanks for the visit.
Serenity and calmness come from these pictures. I love them. Happy weekend.
I just love that bench. thanks for sharing. have a great weekend
Thanks to all for appreciating my pictures. :)
About the shutdown, no I wasn't able to participate fully. I wanted to visit blogs as a stress reliever after my 1 1/2 hours of dental "torture". :)
So pretty! Great choice for the theme.
It looks like a beautiful place.
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
What a lovely peaceful place that church looks. It has a silence about it.
Thanks for dropping by.
I had an empty bench too! In fact the entire park it was in was empty. I loved seeing you site and you have wonderful pictures as well! Hope you're having a great weekend!
