Learning Filipino is FUN at The Learning Library

By Leave a Comment

David grew up speaking Filipino. He spoke it fluently and he even had Bahay Kubo memorized when he started pre-school.  In David's school, the primary language for teaching is English and David's classmates all spoke English too. Soon enough David was speaking purely in English and we found ourselves with a 3 year old who was more fluent in English than Filipino. We didn't think much of it to be honest. We took Filipino for granted and figured David wouldn't have any problem at all with it, … [Continue reading]

By Leave a Comment

In our recent trip to La Finca, our family was assigned to bring breakfast food and snacks.  For these essentials, we went to S&R at BGC.

Must Try: Pie Guys at Box Park, Congressional Ave Extension

By Leave a Comment

Congressional Ave extension is a busy main road. We pass by it everyday on our way out to QC along with huge trucks that most likely go to NLEX with their deliveries. At night though, Congressional Ave opens up as a foodie haven. A lot of small food stalls have opened along "Congrext" and one of them is Box Park, which is a small lot jampacked with food stalls that were build out of small container vans! It's a cute concept but the best part is that they all offer pretty decent food at … [Continue reading]
