Ulingan is a small slum community in Tondo, Manila that sits on a dumpsite and surrounded by charcaol factories that emit toxic smoke; there is no electricity, no access to toilets or sanitation. Children and families have no choice but to live with soot, garbage, mosquitoes, flies, vermin all day and all night. Children as young as three-year olds work in the charcoal factory to help their families. The common meal is "pagpag"(leftover food from fast-food restaurants scavenged from garbage sites) "Pagpag" means to shake away the dirt and maggots in the food.

The Drum Tao Experience

Last Saturday night, my husband and I watched Drum Tao : The Art of Drum at the Newport Performing Arts Theater , Resorts World Manila. I was able to see their sample performance few days before the actual show and I decided to invite my husband for a Saturdate. It was raining the whole day, some parts of the city was flooded.  We left a little early to anticipate the traffic and flood, but luckily , we were there in no time.  Here's a few pictures to share:

Outside the theater while waiting for the show to start

after 7 long years , we finally had some time for ourselves . We got the deluxe seats from Ensogo :)

And here is my favorite boy from the entire cast.. Takuya Era

Everything was great! The stage production, cast , music .. everything! It was one heart thumping experience we will surely not forget. No dull moment at all. There were some parts where they asked for audience participation. They said they would definitely come back, well I'll watch them again , that's for sure!

A New Addition to our Bathroom

Growing up, I had always wanted to have a big bathroom just like the ones that you see in the hotel; something about it just speaks beauty and elegance.  I consider the bathroom as my personal sanctuary, the one room in the house where I could spend some quality time alone. As we are about to do some minor repairs around the house, I started looking for claw foot bath tubs and see if there's one that will be perfect for our bathroom. 

Its shape and style complements a classic and Victorian themed bathroom along with other accessories that can highlight the area. I'm excited to check out the different models and colors that online stores offer and I'm hoping to find out that will fit perfectly on our bathroom. 

Flower shots

I really miss my grandma's garden. This is one of her favorite place in the house aside from the kitchen where she prepares our yummy food.  She has a vast collection of flowers from roses to orchids and daisies. I remember she would stay there to take care of her plants every morning. Its good that I was able to keep some pictures of her beloved garden , it brings me so much closer to her.
