OH. MY. GOODNESS. To be honest, when I was writing that part, the only images inside my head were the colorful jackets. And they definitely belong to Mike Velarde. LOL Oh my goodness! OH. MY.

I also love old buildings (actually anything old, like old wooden benches, old coins, old sewing machines, old bauls, old books, etc.). I do love photography (very basic, I didn't take any lessons), food (eating, a little of cooking), interior design (I took it up in PSID but didn't finish the Advance Course) that's why I enjoy reading your articles. I'm a fan of yours. I admire how you raise your two wonderful kids. Your marriage & partnership with your hubby is worth emulating.=) Anyway, I’m sure it was just a slip-up when you combined Mike Velarde’s and Eddie Villanueva’s names. Mike Velarde is the head of El Shaddai movement, not Eddie Velarde.;-) Keep on writing Connie coz you inspire so many Filipinas to be assertive when the situation calls for it. Kudos to you! GOD bless! Hi Connie!=)

But I didn't know there's an old church there. Sayang. Next time. Ooooh, we passed Majayjay. But I didn’t know there’s an old church there. Sayang. Next time.

I remember visiting the church in Majayjay, Laguna. It had a huge tree which literally grew on one of its outside walls, the roots hugging the stone blocks that make up the wall. Too bad, I didn't have a camera with me that day. Churches in Laguna are really marvelous sites. I remember visiting the church in Majayjay, Laguna.

Like ornaments from long ago. It's better to turn them into something useful and functional so that the occupants have an impetus to preserve and take care of them. Old large houses, for instance, can be wonderful as small hotels. Imagine the added value and attraction to tourists!
