What happens when you send a request out to the world to chronicle, via video, a single day on Earth? You get 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countries. Producer Ridley Scott and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald took this raw material — all shot on July 24, 2010 — and created Life in a Day, a groundbreaking, feature-length documentary that portrays this kaleidoscope of images we call life. National Geographic is bringing it to theaters starting July 24, 2011. Prepare to be amazed.
Ola! This is superly overdue, but finally, here’s part two of my Manila, Philippines visit this August. About a 45-50 minute drive from where I was putting up in Quezon, the stunning San Agustin Church was worth the ride. It was beautiful being there. Certainly brought much needed calm to my heart.
“A Roman Catholic church under the auspices of The Order of St. Augustine, San Agustin is located inside the historic walled city of Intramuros, Manila. It was completed in 1607 and is the oldest church still standing in the Philippines.
Its interior is absolutely charming. The beautiful ceiling murals were handpainted in 1875 by Italian artists.”
