Snaps

Taal Lake, with the volcano in the middle of it, looking deceptively serene when I took these photos five years ago. There are restaurants all around the lake shore with this incredible view, and where they serve tawilis, a freshwater sardine that can be found nowhere else in the world except in that lake. Only time will tell what impact today’s eruption will have on the environment, the ecology, and the lives of the people of this region. #taalvolcano

Happy feast of the #epiphany a.k.a. the Three Kings. When I was little we would leave our shoes out for them to fill with candy...a last little treat before school started again after the Christmas holidays. So I’m starting to get that same bittersweet feeling, but I’m also eager to get 2020 into full swing!! Lots to look forward to. Have a great start to the year everybody! #twelfthdayofchristmas #happy2020

Last #vintagephoto find of the day: my mom’s high school grad. Here she is with her mom and her grandmother, who got an award for three generations of her family having attended the same school, St Scholastica’s College, Manila.

Sisterly love 😁 #sisters

My mom and grandmother on the grounds of Malacañang Palace on the day my great-grandfather was sworn in as a judge. Love their matching outfits! #vintage #mommyandme

A little late for Rizal Day, but still a precious bit of history that I found today while helping Mom sort out a trunkful (or two or three) of old photos. The first one shows my grandmother sitting in the lap of Narcisa, her great-grandmother and Rizal’s favourite sister. The second photo was taken at Luneta Park on a long-ago Rizal Day. Narcisa is the elderly lady and the lady in black beside her is her granddaughter, my great-grandmother Ana. #familyphotos #familyhistory #ancestors #joserizal
