Full Moon Tonight


Are we looking at the same sky tonight?
Full Moon tonight...



"The full moon's majestic presence reminds us that there is beauty in every phase of life, 
even during times of darkness."

Lola Paz Lomi


We ran away from the middle of the metro and ended in this place for our lunch.
Yey! indeed we left this place with our tummy full and happy
😁😁😁😁


Located along the national highway and their place is spacious, comfy and they do have outdoor dining as well. 

Lola Paz is a family business with a family recipe that they shared with us through their own outlet here in Batangas.



Their servers were all courteous and indeed very accommodating.
I like them being happy to assist and very willing to answer all your questions.
Another thing, they are more than willing to provide you products not available from their eatery, like they do not have iced tea in a bottle and they are willing to buy those from a different store. As in na pa WOW! ako sa sagot ni Kuya sa amin nito...

iStar: Sir, meron po kayong iced tea?
Kuya: Sorry Mam, wala po kami dito pero pede ko po kayong bilhan sa iba.
iStar: Naku Kuya, wag na po kung anung drinks nalang po available dyan sa inyo.
 

We chose to eat sa labas kase malamig at spacious at kami lang din yung laman nang bahay kubo dito. Madaming puno na naka pag-bibigay nang shades lalo na singuro kung tirik yung araw dito. 


Spacious naman yung bakyard nila na pede pang tayuan nang ilang kubong maliliit to cater their customers pag di na kasya sa main eatery nila.


Condiments na pede mong gawan nang sarili mong sawsawan.


At eto talaga yung superstar nang lamesa dito


Loming Batangas


Nakakatuwa kase andami nyang laman. 
Hitik sa laman at hindi lang po iyon masarap din po sya.


Dalawang malalaking bowl yung inorder namin and mind you, 
as in nahirapan kaming maubos yun kase sa dami nang servings nila.


Kita nyo naman, hindi nila tinipid mga laman and yung ingredients na din.


We also ordered Pansit Bihon


Pansit Bihon, anyone?


Spacious dining dito sa loob nang eatery 


Napupuno po ito at nawawalan nang upuan  


Well ventilated naman at open at the same time hindi sya madilim dito sa loob.





Eto yung harap nang Kainan, hindi sya punain kaya nag dalawang isip pa kami kung open sila.


Walang parking space talaga, kaya sa side lang kami nang eatery nag parked.
And be very careful kase highway yung kalsada as in dindaanan sya nang malalaki at mabibilis na sasakyan.


Sarap dito, anu pang ina-antay nyo tara, dayo nah!

You could check their FB Page for updated announcements and prices.
Hindi ko na sya inilagay dito cause prices changes without prior notice.

Insult


Never ever respond and stoop down to their level.


Never respond to an insult.
The main purpose of an insulter is to make you act without thinking.
Frustrate them with your silence.

COVID19 Asymptomatic

Ganito po kase yun:

Nagkita tayo. 
Nung araw na nagkita tayo, wala akong nararamdamang kahit ano. 
Walang ubo, sipon, lagnat. Kaya nakampante ka, hinubad mo ang face mask mo habang nagkkwentuhan tayo. 

Ganun ka rin, wala kang nararamdamang kahit ano, kaya tinanggal ko rin ang mask ko. 
Tayong dalawa lang naman ang magkasama. 

Eh ang kaso, may nakasalamuha pala akong covid positive na asymptomatic kaya naging carrier din ako, asymptomatic lang din. 

Dahil pareho tayong walang mask nung nagkita tayo, nahawaan kita nung virus. 
Pero malakas ang immune system mo at naging asymptomatic ka lang din. 
Kaso, pag-uwi mo sa bahay niyo, meron ka palang kasamahan na hindi naman lumalabas ng bahay pero mahina ang resistensya, nahawaan mo siya pero siya, naging symptomatic.”

"Hindi naman lumalabas ng bahay, paano naging covid?" Eh kasi nga ikaw ang nagdala ng virus sa bahay niyo. Hindi porket kaya ng resistensya mo yung virus ay kaya na rin ng ibang tao.

Sa madaling sabi, hindi ka dapat makampante kahit sino pa ang makakasalamuha mo. 
Walang pinipili ang covid. Responsibilidad mong ingatan ang sarili mo and by doing so, naiingatan mo rin ang mga tao sa paligid mo.

Isang taon na mahigit, people. Hindi pa rin maintindihan ng karamihan ang basics. 

ALWAYS WEAR YOUR MASKS AND PRACTICE ACTUAL PHYSICAL DISTANCING. AND NOT TO MENTION, DO RELIGIOUS HAND HYGIENE

According to CDC, hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. You can spread certain "germs" (a general term for pathogens like viruses and bacteria) casually by touching another person.

Keep safe, everyone!

You may share para sa mga taong di pa rin nag sisink-in sa kanila na "COVID IS REAL and CAN KILL".

Ang Lumang Gapan


Opened to the public last year 2020 amidst NCOV19 Pandemic. 

Gapan Mayor Emerson Pascual initiate this project to promote tourism in the area. Stating that "Gusto nating ibahagi at makita nang mga kabataan natin ang maganda at maayos na pamumuhay nang mga sinauna nating ninuno sa bahaging ito ng Pilipinas".


Three years prior to this project I was able to pass by this very street and indeed fell in love with those old Filipino houses that stood the test of time. 

They were so lovely to look at and still do not lose the old charm that they had before. It is a very nice idea to change the pathways and the street into a cobbled street like what we had in Intramuros Manila.

It gives a Madrid, Spain feel during the old days.
 


Old Houses façade restoration was made through the help of the homeowners and the LGU of Gapan. 

I love how the effort of the entire street restoration and beautification has been made as it gives highlights on how beautiful and lovely those old houses are. 
 


Every detail has been restored to give life, to preserved parts of the house for a longer period of time, while others were left untouched that still gives its old beautiful self to be admired.  


There is no entrance fee being imposed however for certain houses they collect donations for you to take pictures of their old house interior. The money they collected was used for maintenance. 




The other side of this boundary arch will take you to the dining area where native delicacies of Gapan, Nueva Ecija are being sold. Tables and benches were provided an easy open-air dine-in experience.
 



The lamppost was adapted to those like in Jones Bridge in Manila that gives you the olden time feels when darkness hit the street of this Lumang Gapan.

It's like you are walking the old street of Manila way back in the Spanish era. 

And I think it would be much better to wear your Filipiniana and have some pictures taken in any and every corner of these streets as it is all IG-worthy. 
 


Dolores Street of Lumang Gapan literally is "Walking in Memory Lane", Why?

Because as soon as you set your foot on it- it will give you that feeling of walking back in time. 

Where life is simple and this kind of beautiful house is owned by the rich and affluent part of the society. Where they thrive in a street now known as the Lumang Gapan. 

This is indeed a very good project of the Gapan LGU as this will boost tourism in their area and promote our very culture and heritage.

So anu pang hinihintay nyo, Tara na sa Gapan!
