Every April, Pandan celebrates its Tugbong Festival. It’s the time of the year where my family and other relatives get together. I also get to meet some of my friends. With all the activities during the fiesta, I lost my voice the first time I attended an event which was my High School’s Alumni Homecoming on April 22, 2008. See the schedule of activities at the Tugbong Festival Website.
Boracay island has been voted as the best beach in the world a long time ago. I can’t give you any reference as it was the time when there was no internet yet as far as I can recall. Now a days, it’s still being considered somehow as one of the best beaches in the world.
This spring season I went to the Philippines for a vacation. I left Switzerland on April 13, 2008 and then came back on May 07, 2008. Although it was spring here (still spring up to now), it was summer in the Philippines. As usual, I got sick in the Philippines because of dust and heat but it never stopped me from having fun with family and friends.
I got a surprise call a few days before Annie travelled to Europe. She said she was going to Switzerland too. She called me up first week of December but we were not around then as we were in Cyprus. She thought she dialed the wrong number but she tried calling me up again and finally we were able to talk to each other. I have not seen my cousin Annie for more than 12 years.
It was Monday afternoon, 18th of February 2008, when I fetched Annie at the train station in Lucerne, Switzerland. She stayed with us for five (5) days and four (4) nights here in Weggis.
