Holy Week in Bicol

March 19, 2012 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Holy Week in Bicol

It’s been almost a year since we moved back to the Philippines. We arrived just in time for Holy Week – our first Holy Week and Easter as a married couple. Who would have thought that one year later, we would be pretty much settled, attempting to start this travel business? This was definitely not […]

Gawad Kalinga: Our Love Story

February 17, 2012 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Save GK Siruma

Gawad Kalinga is our love story. The team here in Camarines Sur is just like the many volunteers scattered across the country. We all start the same way, falling crazily head over heals with the chance to serve our God in the most noble of way. We fall in love with the communities we sought […]

Reverse Migration – Moving Back

Reverse Migration by Tammy

Update as of March 2016: After five years in the Philippines (so, five years after this post), we’ve moved again. This time, with the little ones in tow. Back in Vancouver! Looking forward to our adventures here. (But we didn’t pack any balikbayan boxes this time). ——————————– It seems to me as if everyone just […]

Friendship and YTRiP

January 15, 2009 By Tammy 1 Comment

Last night I was able to meet up with a good friend (Hi Clare!). And as always, it was good. Coffee/Hot Chocolate and a hearty breakfast at the odd-hour of 9pm at Bo’s Katipunan. A familiar, homey area to set the tone of our life-updates. There are some friendships that are formed over years of […]

Kaya. [I am a Raya Fan]

October 10, 2008 By Tammy 3 Comments

Most of my close friends know that my ultimate dream is to modify the curriculum of Sibika at Kultura (which I’ve heard has been changed into Makabayan). Something has to be done to tweak it so that our students can relate to it and not just memorize dates and names… Something that can make them […]

“San Jose Forever!” That is what my Tito Ato would shout out whenever he’d see me. According to him, I’m a die-hard San Jose fan – someone who would give up everything for that little town in Partido, Camarines Sur. Every summer, I would look forward to going to the province and visiting San Jose. […]
