New updates! Finally, I'm able to update my blog site today, since I wasn't able to yesterday. I think the site was down as I tried to access it several times, and I couldn't access it.

This is the Bamboo Organ Church in Las Pinas, Manila, taken after attending first mass at 6:00 A.M.

Guess what? Today is my birthday, September 16, and we're celebrating my birthday here at the Mall of Asia with my two nieces, mother, sister and her husband. This is, I think, the biggest mall yet I've seen. It has almost 700 shops (according to their Ad), and it is located right next to the Ocean Bay -- a beautiful view!

This picture was taken at 6:10 P.M. from the 2nd floor of the Mall of Asia; it is overlooking towards ocean view.

I stayed with my sister in Bamban, Tarlac for almost two weeks. Left Tarlac yesterday, and I'm now staying with my brother in Las Pinas. I've visited some places while I was in Tarlac, such as the Lourdes Grotto, downtown Angeles City, the market in Capas, Tarlac, and a beautiful farm. The following are pictures I've taken while I was in Tarlac.



Hon, I thought you'd like this picture, the guy in his Harley. I know you like Harley better than Yamaha, NOT! (lol) I was inside the jeepney when I took this picture.



And, more bikes for you to check out.






This is the view of the Lourdes Grotto looking up. It has 100+ steps to get to the top.












We were on top of the Lourdes Grotto, and this is the view looking down. You can see the new Bamban Bridge, a remodeled one after it was destroyed when Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the early 90s.





The site of Lourdes Grotto from the distance.





My sister and I in the middle of the Orchids Garden (in the farm). This place is very peaceful, and I love the fresh air and the scent of the beautiful orchids.




Ma, here's the picture when we went to the farm. I hope you made it back to New Zealand safely. Please leave me a message/comment if you're able to view this. Take care and we love you!





Ma, here's Jing and Mana Sonia's picture.






I assembled Jennilyn's computer for her.




Hon, this is the computer desk that my brother-in-law made from scratch. I think the computer desk turned out very nice.
