Double Cause for Celebration: Big Bad Wolf in Manila and Dana's Birthday

03 March 2019

One of the biggest book events that we always look forward to is the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale.  If you haven't heard of it, it's a week-long event that's open for 24 hours with tons of books on sale.  This year, it was held between Feb 22 and march 4 and we went twice :)

Also, the 2nd day that we went coincided with Dana's birthday and this was where she wanted to spend it so Hurrah for books! :)

Check out our "haul" from the two days at the Big Bad Wolf :)

Celebrating Family Day at the Kids' Respective Schools

2019 February/March

This February, the kids were busy with their respective celebrations of Family Day in their schools. 

The highlight of Dana's Family Day is their award-winning performance of their Hip Hop Dance number.

Dylan's class had a lot of activities so you'll see a lot of pictures of those :)

Still, all of it was good fun! :)

Gulu Gulu PH at Savemore Nagtahan, Manila

28 February 2019

As you may know, we are always in search of new restaurants that serve delicious food.  It's always an adventure to try new dishes and new locations together.

I learned that a new Takoyaki store, Gulu Gulu PH opened last February 25 at our local neighborhood supermarket, Savemore Nagtahan.  It was exciting because it was near and pretty accessible and also, we're fans of Takoyaki.

So here are some pictures of the place and what we ordered during our trip.

What to see at the National Museum of Natural History: Our first visit 2019

At last, we were able to visit the recently-opened National Museum of Natural History in the former Department of Tourism Building in Luneta Park in Manila.

Opened in May 2018, this Museum has 6 floors, 5 of which have various displays and exhibits.

Prepare to walk a minimum of 2 hours if you want to visit all the exhibits!

Let's go!

Re-visiting the National Museum of Anthropology (2019)

26 January 2019

We've been to the Museum of Anthropology before, in 2016 (read about it here), but while there were staple exhibits, like the San Diego, Bangsamoro and Lumad exhibits, there were also a few new additions, like the Garing (Ivory Trade), Biyay (about the Negrito Community), Entwined Spheres (Baskets and Mats as containers), the Pina-Seda (Pineapple and Silk Cloth) and the San Isidro Shipwreck.

Prepare 2 hours to walk around the Museum of the Filipino People.
