Parol

This year, we bought our very first Christmas lantern ("parol" in Filipino). We got it from the strip of stores along Gilmore Ave. Malik came with us, because the strip is not to long as to be overwhelming even for a child.


I've gained some weight, courtesy of Baby No. 2. Can you spy him here?



After walking back and forth for about an hour, we took home this one -


That's how its looks like unlighted, at least before Kuya Greg put it up outside our bedroom window.


We got this medium sized capiz lantern for P1,700. The next I day, I had to take a day trip to Pampanga (where most lanterns are made in the Philippines) and found out that they sold the same lantern for the same price. We didn't even have to travel 2 hours and spend on gas. Yey, Ironman.
