Hello cheery chums! It was full day for us exploring every nook and cranny of this amazing city called Manila. Our taxi driver, Leo, a middle-aged Pinoy full of humility and wisdom, was with us all the way. By late evening, we made a stop at the “must see” place ~… »
A Lolli by any other Name
Our lil one doesnt fancy candies much. The reason we confidently claim so is becos he has never looked at a candy the way he would at a toy or book or a DVD, for that matter. So we have always remembered that day when SZ actually took notice and insisted on one...in fact, just a day before he officially turned 24 months. And it was a Jolly Rancher Lolli (watermelon flavoured to be exact) from a neighbourhood party shop. Since then he would always request for a lollipop each time he spots one, altho not always Jolly Ranchers..haha. Just today he wanted another. So we made him say "Lolli-Pop" first. To which SZ somehow stuttered, "Lolli-Lop-Pop". We broke into laughter and decided SZ deserves the best lolli in the whole wide world for improvising a simple sweet name of a lollipop! more storieSZ...

Hello cheery chums! We arrived Manila late afternoon, checked into the hotel and headed to Intramurous by the Pasig River. What’s a better way to get acquainted with a city steeped in history than going back to where it all began. And my, the infamous Intramurous was not as I imagined…. »
