"i came ... i saw ... i conquered"
My favourite thing is to go where I've never been. -- Diane Arbus

One of my life's goals is to see the beauty this world has to offer ... and if travelling is the only way to reach that goal, then so be it. Just give me a good destination and together with my travel buddies and my trusty camera, we'll make time for it and we'll be there...if you're as interested, come join me and see the world through my eyes .... ENJOY!!!

strawberries everywhere

...strawberries. a bright red fruit enjoyed fresh or prepared (jams, pies, shakes, ice cream), very expensive back home if you buy it in groceries, very fresh if you buy it in Baguio (that is if you want to travel that far), we usually dip it in sugar. here, they actually have a strawberry festival ... see, i get curious easily and so off we go strawberry picking and going to the strawberry festival fair!!

June, I think it was, the strawberry festival ... we had to go and taste strawberry shortcake. i've only heard of this as that cartoon character strawberry shortcake (you know her! that girl with a big fluffy, chef-looking, pink, strawberry of a hat!) -- and now i have the chance to actually taste strawberry shortcake (homemade style) and not the commercial type. i like those original recipes, they always seem better tasting to me. And so we went ... and as you can see, i got my strawberry shortcake fix :)

The experience will not be complete though, until we get to strawberry farm and pick our own strawberries ... and so the day after off we went again. you go to the farm (where we got our pumpkins but not the apples) on a hayride. strawberries, strawberries everywhere, big and small ... the smaller ones are sweeter .... we got ourselves a ton of strawberries.... oh i tell ya, we've been eating strawberries for more than a week, and after that, i think i've had enough strawberries to last me until this year's festival!!

...appreciating God's wondrous paradise...
