The Conjurors

The Sampaguita Gardens located in New Washington Kalibo Aklan is home of Precious Moments creator Samuel John Butcher. Never in my life, I have seen hundreds of dolls in various colors and sizes. Luckily, they arent porcelain hence they are pleasing to look at. We arrive at the museum/park/manythingscanbedoneinthearea at night after negotiating with three tricycles with round trip prices ranging from P300 to P600. We are locals not tourists but nature has its own mysterious ways and we were able to get a roundtrip fare of P250. It was worth the ride and worth the visit despite the fact that we werent aware that the owners house can be visited up to 7 pm. And the P50 consumable entrance fee was an added bonus. The Christmas Museum was closed hence we still managed to have fun. (pictures copyright-ask permission pag may time i repost)

Its Boracay not Bora!

As my title goes, so does the poster I saw in one of the tourist destinations. Our first family vacation, complete with father and mother was a success despite the bickering and fights in between over simple things. I was able to apply a leave because I do not want to miss this event. Its family, its a priority.

Its my third time to visit Boracay. First in 2000 with college friends, then 209 with my other friends and this year. So much have changed, so many people mostly koreans. Food are everywhere, stalls are all around. It has changed, progressed and had become commercialized. The places that I used to see are now flooded with hotels but the locals are still courteous. There are plenty of things to do in Boracay and I have enjoyed my vacation. copyright applies
