Sibulan Flea Market

Every thirteenth day of the month, the municipality of Sibulan (15 minutes away from Dumaguete) holds a flea market in the park. The flea market is locally known as "ukayan" where people do "ukay-ukay" meaning to dig in piles and piles of second-hand clothing sold for low prices. But you don't just find clothes here. Vendors also sell used shoes, bags, blankets, etc.

I once visited Sibulan during the 13th a few months ago and found that it was quite nice to just go around and take pictures and look at people busy with thrift shopping, others just window thrift shopping. One thing I love reading are the signs the vendors put up. They're just so straight to the point and funny how they're written in the dialect! I love those kinds of signs actually, wherever they may be. They just have so much personality.

So after this little escapade, I took home a gray hoodie for Php 75.00. Not bad, but it would have been perfect if I got it at Php50.00 or below.

Dumaguete's Old Cafe Mamia

Today, Cafe Mamia is situated along corner Sta. Catalina St. and San Jose St, along the same street as Sans Rival Pastries in Dumaguete.

The old cafe was found along Rizal Boulevard just beside Mamia's Restaurant. It was really a nice cozy place to hang out. I was quite sad they had to move away from that location. But nonetheless, the new place is equally charming, the new interior being the renovated first floor of the Perdices house if I'm not mistaken.

I haven't photographed that place yet and had only been there once. But I leave you with some snaps from the last time I ate at the old Cafe Mamia, shot using a Pentax KX and a roll of Centuria 400.
