So I have already been in the Philippines for a couple of days now and I am going to attempt to blog a little bit about my trip as I go along. So on the first it day, it was pretty much a "settling in" kind of day. Was able to visit my lola's old house, visit family, and visit my lolo's grave. It's weird being here because I already have a sense of familiarity with the sights, sounds, smells of it. It's pretty much like being home away from home. It does not take away how much I miss my family back in the states already though! I guess it's true that home is where the heart is.
( melta is my grandparents old business. "Mel" from Melo which is my lolo's last name. And "Ta" from Tabing which is my lola's maiden name)
I definitely will not be blogging about EVERY SINGLE DAY because I am not that diligent in journalling. I will specifically try to keep up with posting pictures and significant events. What I hope to do during my stay here is to explore a lot more of the place (such as the natural scenery of the PI). Even though I have been here a number of times, I feel like there's always something new and beautiful to see. Trying to stray away from JUST shopping this trip... Let's hope that I save myself from frivolous buys and gain some more insight on the real Philippines. Hopefully there will be a lot more exploring!
