Manila Office View

It's a fair weather today, it's been raining for the past few days due to the typhoon but the sun is almost out!

I'm sharing this awesome view in the office here in Manila area. For me, looking at this view is a reminder that in life, whenever there's a storm passing by, you need to stay strong and safe because the sun always comes out after the rain. And besides, the storm doesn't stay in one place, it passes always. ;)

So wherever you are, whatever you do, take time to look around and enjoy the view.

I hope everyone is having a great day. :)

Location: Ermita, Manila

History:

Ermita was founded in the late 16th century. Its name was taken from La Hermita, the Spanish word for "hermitage", after the fact that a Mexican hermit resided in the area and on this site was built a hermitage housing an image of the Virgin Mary known as the Nuestra Señora de Guia (Our Lady of Guidance). The Hermitage has since evolved into Ermita Church, which has been rebuilt several times since the early 17th century.

During the early half of the 20th century, the Ermita district as well as its adjacent district, Malate became known for the gilded mansions built by the upper classes. The richest people then lived in the two neighborhoods who are both facing the Manila Bay.
