Singapore and Hong Kong Pasalubongs!

     My parents and my sister went to Singapore and Hongkong recently and they got me really nice pasalubongs!  Feeling ko nag Kinokuniya, Page One and Eslite na rin ako.  Hehe!

The Constant Reader in Bataan (Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar)

          Luis was turning two.  Because I had no money to spend on a lavish birthday party and I am an introvert, the chances of Luis celebrating with a birthday party are very slim, hehe!  But, really, I find that special occasions are best celebrated exploring new places with the people who matter most.  In that way, we create special memories that will last a lifetime.  Walang kupas, walang laos.

          This year, we went to Bataan, which, coincidentally,  was a good follow up to our Corregidor trip because of its many historical landmarks.

                  Then, we went to the real jewel of Bataan.  And it's not Anvaya Cove, (sorry, Anton), hehe!  It's Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan.

     Para akong nagtime warp to the past.  Ang ganda dito!  Truly a good place to learn more about our culture and heritage.  It's more fun in the Philippines!
