"Lian, Batangas" Lian by monina_c

It was a stormy evening...

Not a creature was stirring...

NOT! every young person in Lian, Batangas seemed to be on the road from Matuod, Lian, Batangas where the vacation house of Marie and Antonio was located. It was a blessing for us since the darkness had obscured the landmarks we were supposed to watch out for. Thank you young people for your willingness to help "lost" travelers! Mwah!!! ;D

We eventually found the house after our designated navigator was given further directions by Antonio. The first sight of the house was indeed a pleasant surprise! I for one immediately relaxed when I saw the wide open spaces and wide, wide, white-covered day beds.... dreams of rest floating in my head. :)

Sungka Olympics

VT Juniors Sungka Olympics.
Jaro and Rafael took over the sungka board after Yen and Hiedi showed them how the game was played. They had fun playing against each other that Pauline (Rafael's sister) didn't get the chance to play. :(
