Quezon City, Philippines - 13th December 2011
By: abbyaguas
Hello Mom,
Have you been worried about my travel? Well, I'm glad to let you know that I have finally arrived!
An angry bird even surrounded me when I reached here in the Philippines! Well, he sure did celebrated the day that I first arrived here.
That's me, just awakening from my travel.
Abby was very delighted with the candy that you've shared to her
I'm going to take a rest now! I'm just so tired! Tomorrow, Abby told me that I'm going with her to her Class Christmas Party! Yippee

Quezon Memorial Circle, Philippines - 14th December 2011
By: abbyaguas
Finally, I have been out of the plastic and breathing fresh air again! The weather here is warm and humid.
Abby visited her friend's house, which also serves as a church in their community.
(oooh, it's dark in here)
(lights please)
There you go.. As I entered, I was welcomed into a bench made out of bamboo! And even met Abby's SUPPOSED to be Toy Traveller.
Her friends started to prepare food for the Christmas Celebration, and I eventually got curious. I decided to take a peep
While they cook, I got the opportunity to hold Abby's gift for the Exchange Gift part of the program. She told me that it was a book that she wanted for herself.
So much for that, we went next to going to the Quezon Memorial Circle, the landmark of Quezon City.
(HEY look! I'm actually touching the top!)
Since Abby's other classmates are nowhere in sight, they decided to look for them... leaving me and Abby to guard their belongings.
(This one reminds me of Narnia... and the lamp post there)
Over here, we've got a pot of cooked hot rice.
and oohhh, look at that! The sun is setting down.
Night Time!
Behind me are the food the class have accumulated, to be shared later.
Together with Janine, Abby's close friend
At this part, the cake is dedicated to Jesus. They are all going together! And look, they have made me guest
They had a BOODLE Fight!
Eating with bare hands is something that I am particularly new. And now that I'm full... I'm just going to sit here in the skateboard.
The tower changes colors from time to time. Here I have witnessed it from blue to green.
I got to hang out with some of the group. Can you see where I am?
And this is the most important part of the celebration:
It was a blast! Abby's classmates were funny, and loves food.
This was a time to bond.
More adventures to come here in my journey
at the Philippines

PUP (The school), Philippines - 18th December 2011
By: abbyaguas
Welcome to the Polytechnic University of the Philippines! It's a Sunday, and plus, it's the Christmas break. There are very few people inside this vast university.
Here you can see The Obelisk, standing majestic on its base, which depicts the strength of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines as an institution of higher learning, promoting educational and moral aims which are fortified by a determined leadership with a clear vision for the Filipino youth and an efficient support system inspired by the virtues of public service. (just copied and pasted that... hehe
The building with the red roof is called The Interfaith Chapel, while the building with the 6 floors is called "Main". You can see the Philippine flag on the pole, and a belen over there.
Here I am, Caroline, on the 6th floor, and we saw a Christmas tree and a Parol. Might as well grab a chance to take a picture with it.
And now, the different Parols!
This one is made of "Banig", and woven,with red fans on the outside.
The star is made from the bottles of Yakult.
I like this one.
It's because....
.... it's made of popcorn!
There are more parols made by the students, by it's hard to visit them all. And now, I'm here in a Christmas wreath, with a picture on it. The story is, the department will accumulate 3,000 gifts from the students voluntarily, and then they will be given to children. This was from last year's photo.
Abby let me sneak into the small office of their organization. I have went here before.
Then later...
THE BANAUE RICE TERRACES!!
A former wonder of the world, and now a UNESCO site. I didn't get there physically, but I can't help stare its majestic beauty in aerial view.
Abby's mom is pointing to the sign. It says "Ayala Triangle". Oh, so that's where we are heading.
Going up!
Entering...
AND now, we're here.
Just enjoying
A Closer View... ooh, there's another belen!

Home, Philippines - 15th April 2012
By: abbyaguas
After going from Church, that afternoon, we had ice cream... because it was soooo hot! I got a Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Cone from Dan and Eric's.
Here, you can see this old tree. Abby told me that her late grandfather planted this in the year 1952, so it's 60 years old already. This tree is becoming rare nowadays, as you cannot see its fruit anywhere in the market. It's called a "mabolo" in Filipino. Velvet Apple in English. It has its own unique taste.
This is a view of their house. That's the second floor you can see there.
And now, I am here to relax together with my other fellow toys.

Home, Philippines - 16th April 2012

I had one of my last dinners, before I go back to the country.
Abby's mom cooked "Sinigang sa Hipon" and "Galunggong" or Hard-tail mackerel/round scad in english. Both are Filipino dishes. The Galunggong is usually cooked as food for the cats, but we do eat them when we want to eat more. It is usually pan-fried and served with white rice.
