Sorry can anyone help me please? Which place is this again?

The Palais Garnier is a 1,979-seat opera house which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was originally called the Salle des Capucines, because of its location on the Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, but soon became known as the Palais Garnier, in recognition of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier.

The theatre is also often referred to as the Opéra Garnier and historically was known as the Opéra de Paris or simply the Opéra, as it was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when the Opéra Bastille opened at the Place de la Bastille. The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.

School bag! PUTI.. Bagay for med school, right guys? Ateneo Blue pa ang kulay ng loob hehe. Ate thought long & hard between the 2. But in the end, the one on the left won out. Kayo, anong palagay nyo? 🙂

Having daughters is costly. VERY COSTLY, lemme tell you. But in the same manner. Sulit din naman kung magmahal, mag-alaga, at maglambing, very sulit. 🙂

Me so happy! <3 I love painted-on bags, as you can probably tell with my maleta, lol. May “X” factor.

The guys met up at Laduree along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, a boulevard known for its theatres, cafés and luxury shops, and for the military parade that takes place each year on the avenue on 14 July to celebrate Bastille Day. The name is French for the Elysian Fields, the paradise for dead heroes in Greek mythology. The French proudly nickname this world-famous avenue “la plus belle avenue du monde” (“the world’s most beautiful avenue”).

Paguwi nila tinanong ko si Kap.. kumusta meryenda? Ang sagot: Anong makakain jan, gutom pa ako! ;)) Trololol!

She tries to get her hands on crepes as much as she is able to. 🙂 On rare times that Kap is not out looking for rice meals.

It is more economical & faster to go on the Metro, which is what Kap is trying to instill in me. Uber pa rin ang gusto ko! 😛 Beh.

The Pont des Arts is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the River Seine. It links the Institut de France and the central square of the Palais du Louvre.

Between 1802 and 1804, under the reign of Napoleon I, a nine-arch metallic bridge for pedestrians was constructed at the location of the present day Pont des Arts. This was the first metal bridge in Paris. The engineers Louis-Alexandre de Cessart and Jacques Dillon initially conceived of a bridge which would resemble a suspended garden, with trees, banks of flowers, and benches. The French Ministry of Culture listed the Pont des Arts as a national historic monument.

The bridge has sometimes served as a place for art exhibitions, and is today a studio en plein air for painters, artists and photographers who are drawn to its unique point of view. The Pont des Arts is also frequently a spot for picnics during the summer.

Signed, sealed & delivered. Pont des arts, the original love-lock bridge. Love intact, secrets kept. Now no one can ever tear us apart.

Since late 2008, tourists have taken to attaching padlocks (love locks) with their first names written or engraved on them to the railing or the grate on the side of the bridge, then throwing the key into the Seine river below, as a romantic gesture. This gesture is said to represent a couple’s committed love

From 1 June 2015, city council workmen from Paris started to cut down all the locks after years of complaints from locals. Health and Safety officials said the romantic gestures cause long term Heritage degradation and danger to visitors. Pero alam nyo na, may matitigas pa rin ang mga ulo.. tulad nalang ng GOppets! 😛

Constructed using puddle iron, the Tower is protected from oxidation by several coats of paint to ensure that it lives forever. The Tower has been re-painted 18 times since its initial construction, an average of once every seven years. It has changed colour several times, passing from red-brown to yellow-ochre, then to chestnut brown and finally to the bronze of today, slightly shaded off towards the top to ensure that the colour is perceived to be the same all the way up as it stands against the Paris sky. Sixty tons of paint are necessary to cover the Tower’s surface, as well as 50 kilometers of security cords, 5 acres of protection netting, 1500 brushes, 5000 sanding disks, 1500 sets of work clothes…and more than a year for a team of 25 painters to paint the Tower from top to bottom.

Life is a happy adventure with you in it. <3 Thankful for all the memories we make together, my Honey.
