the lighter side

This is one good thing about travel, it can’t be that we can’t learn as we go along the way. Like this one, I was curious if St. Wenceslas was the same person to the son of the “king” (or Duke), who also ruled in Bohemia after his father. So this sent me on a [...]

From the Old Town Square we walked our way to the unusually-long St. Wenceslas Square, another historic quaint tourist attraction.
It’s main and well-known landmark is the equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas. On the upper part of the avenue is the National Museum. As always, tourists were still around, but because of the length of the [...]

After the Holy Mass at the Infant Jesus of Prague Church, M had to find a parking place for the car. This is challenge which car owners here have to hurdle in the city proper. We (Dad, M, Dy, little C and I) then proceeded to the Old Town Square. Everyone was walking along the [...]

LOL!!! And so Daisy detailed what I didn’t touch in my previous post. That’s one thing that made our trip unforgettable! Do read through her post, it will make your day!
The airline staff was sort of grumpy (and who would not be, minus the explanation?) when she asked how come we had [...]

Our flight from Manila to Prague, with stopover in Amsterdam (the Netherlands), was Saturday, May 17. Due to bad weather boarding was delayed, and upon reaching Amsterdam, we were told our plane had left 30 minutes earlier.

Yep, that’s a bouquet of roses I got as welcome from Karel, Mart*’s dad – a sweet and gentlemanly gesture. (I recall when I went to India, I received also a bouquet of flowers from a cyber-nephew; these thoughtfulness are surely long-remembered.) So to him I dedicate this post.
He was the one who extended us [...]

Today is the birthday of our beloved “sponsor”, the cute! A Blessed Happy Birthday, ta`! God bless you more and more as you continue doing His will in your daily living. This post I then dedicate to you
I went ahead of them to Manila, to follow up and get our visa (a miracle [...]

As you can read in my previous post, Ed and I submitted our visa application last week, ahead of Carey.
While we were still here in Negros, the plan was for us to request the Czech embassy that the application of our daughter would be considered, as her passport at that time was still processed in [...]

It’s now the month we are supposed to depart for Prague together with “the cute” who has now her own cutie baby, who is also to travel with us. I’ve halted my attending of parish and community planning meetings (though the prayer meetings go on) for I’ll not be with them for quite some time [...]
