Corregidor's Mile Long Barracks


Corregidor's Mile Long Barracks key chain


This is what I only got from the island of Corregidor; it's somewhat a plain picture encased by a clear hard plastic. I bought it since I want something from there.

The picture is the Mile Long Barracks on the island of Corregidor. On this island you can see many preserved barracks and firearms used during the Second World War. Here are some of our trip photos on the island last April 2010:

Visiting this place would take you back in time. Even though we were not alive during those days, we can still savor the days of the war. Creepy as it sounds but we can know and better comprehend what our ancestors and grandparents are telling us. This is my second time to visit this place yet I still learned a lot.

facebook timeline


Finally just tonight I finally decided to turn my facebook profile into timeline format. Why? Because I saw my mom's profile more updated than mine. The picture on top is my chosen cover photo. The aspect ratio of it is 850px by 315px. It exactly fit there, need to search for it though as facebook doesn't have info on the exact size. The picture says the places I've been into here in the Philippines. I just don't know if it's complete but more likely it's 90% complete. Why I chose this? It's because I love to travel and I think it's one of my passions!
