On Becoming Filipina in 10 months...

Islands=27 So now that I'm spending about 10 months in the Philippines, I'll be living the Manila life, reconnecting with my extended family and hopefully learning my Tagalog. I'll also be tallying how many times people ask me if I have a boyfriend and how times they tell me I'm fat. McFattie: 14 McSingle: 22

Eco Park


After the Aliwan Festival, Ryan invited some of us to accompany him to the Eco Park Dam for some photo ops. I really liked the place, but it seemed difficult to get there without a car. I remember when I was living in Fairview and I'd see it on the maps, but I never actually went there. Oh well, that's just another hidden gem in the city right? Roy, Jason and I piled into Ryan's car and went on a little detour. Found this sign that was quite amusing. We got into the park at around 4, after picking up some picniking food after the rain stopped.
Lots of picturesque scenery like the fishing pond and flower hill. Apparently it's a favorite for many wedding pictures, so we decided to model some out. Romantic at all?











After the picnic of cheese bread, chips and peanut butter, we walked around for a bit and I couldn't resist running off to the playground.












I love swing sets.















We cooled off a bit with some watermelon. It wasn't that sweet, but was still a refreshing treat. All in all I'd say it was a good day, despite the fact we didn't get a chance to stay that long. I would have loved to laze around and get some leisure reading done. Maybe we'll see if there's another lazy Sunday around the corner.
