Drumming up support
I heard drums and a lot of noise out in our street yesterday afternoon, so I grabbed my camera and ran outside to take photos of whatever it was. Turns out, it was a group of candidates for district councilor and their supporters making the rounds of the barangays.

There were even utility vehicles equipped with speakers blaring out the campaign songs of the candidates.

The candidates themselves were walking along with their people, and I ended up being introduced to and having to shake the hands of three of them. The worst part was, I had to let go of my camera to do so, so these were the clearest shots I got of the sortie and I wasn't able to take photos of the candidates (who all looked exhausted after walking around all afternoon in our summer heat—one lady told me ours was their fifth barangay).
The Philippines will have its midterm general elections—national and local—on May 13.

My prayers for all those who were killed and hurt during the Boston Marathon explosions, their families and friends, and the many men and women who have given their help.

Taste, look, listen
The cafe of Casa San Miguel in Zambales can be accessed from the garden. The garden has a simple stage (not in the photo, however) for outdoor performances. I love what they did with the garden lights strung between the trees—they're just bare bulbs covered with brown paper bags.
Everything that we ordered from their menu was delicious, especially since they use fresh, local ingredients. And as can be expected from a foundation that focuses on music and the arts, the interior is also a feast for the eyes.
The cafe even has a piano nook. It was just too bad that there was no pianist in residence when we visited.

I apologize for my sudden disappearance again. We had internet connection problems the entire week! Everything's okay now, thank goodness.
