Travel: Philippines (Photo of the Day) - BBQ

This was seriously my favorite part of every afternoon: merienda. We typically had BBQ, pancit, and/or ice cream. :::Drool:::

Travel: Philippines (Photo of the Day) - Coke

My favorite soda in my favorite container: Coke in a bottle. I know foreign nations use real sugar instead of corn syrup, but if it weren't that, I'd swear the bottle makes it taste better.

Travel: Philippines (Photo of the Day) - Rooster

This evil creature woke me up every morning at around 5AM. I requested that he be killed but was informed that he's a cockfighting chicken; thus, his life was sacred. grrr.

Travel: Philippines (Photo of the Day) - Wedding

My cousin snuck me a peace sign, while the real wedding photographers were busy doing their thing. It was a rainy, yet happy day!

Travel: Philippines (Photo of the Day) - Dome

The dome of the church that my family attends in the Philippines is actually quite beautiful. Sorry, I could not do it justice.

Travel: Philippines (Photo of the Day) - Stove

When I saw my aunt cooking on this cute, little, wood-burning stove, I knew I had to photograph it. It's truly amazing how simple life is in the province.

Travel: Philippines (Photo of the Day) - Birthday

I celebrated a birthday while in the Philippines. It was a humble, intimate affair that consisted mostly of family. I'll never forget the 50 people singing to me the birthday song before I blew out the candles on my two cakes. :D
