The Sassy Lawyer & Pinoy Cook on food, family and home.
These photos were taken on the beach behind Gerry’s Grill in Subic where we had lunch just before we left for Metro Manila during a weekend stay last month. All are zoomed in photos.
Above, the portion of the beach reserved for swimmers. The larger portion was for jetskiing.
A lighthouse. I don’t know if it’s a new lighthouse being constructed, an old lighthouse being renovated or a derelict lighthouse no longer in use. It was too far away to tell.

Casa is Spanish for house. CASA is also an acronym for Connie, Antonio, Sam and Alex. We are all surnamed Veneracion. We all love to take photos -- of anything that catches our fancy. It's a family obsession.
This is a journal of how we live, eat, learn, play and have fun. Work? Work is part of playing and having fun. Seriously.
In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP. Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to pinoycook.net.

It’s too bad that Subic was initally a military base. It isn’t laid out correctly to be a resort. You can always see industrial areas — kinda takes away from the relaxation aspect. Did you see the Spanish Gate? That was the main gate to the Naval Station back in Spanish times. The square and church on close by there was actually the town square of Olongapo back then. When the Americans took over, the base was expanded and the entire town was moved across the river to its present location
Yeah, passed by the Spanish Gate. We didn’t go down though. Just passed by on our last day. I wanted to take photos but it was just after lunch. Wrong time of the day to take outdoor photos.
