3 years. 350 posts. 3,500,000 calories eaten. 3 faithful readers. There is nothing more I could ask for. Well, maybe for the 3 faithful readers to increase to 4 as wanderingbakya.com enters its 4th year of existence.
Here is Year Three in photos.
The places I visited ranged from treasure troves of historical artifacts (I love Philippine history) and Mother Nature’s wonderful gifts to mankind.
I attended events as a student of Instituto Cervantes – Manila, a gatecrasher, and a sports fan.
Some of the memorable events I attended were Mario Vargas Llosa’s talk in Manila and 1st Philippine Visit of the Pilgrim Relics of Sts. Louis and Zélie Martin. Also, I was also able to say goodbye to fellow Ilonggo, the steadfast and admirable Senator Miriam Defensor – Santiago.
The things I have seen and bought brought me happiness, some longer than others. The pasalubong from different provinces of the Philippines.
Traditional musical instruments from Southeast Asian countries
Things I saw, some of which I bought, at Sidcor Sunday Market.
Then my stomach discovered its affinity for buffet restaurants, hence the 3,500,000 calories eaten.
Buffet 101 – Glorietta 2 and Robinsons Magnolia
The photos taken at Four Seasons Buffet & Hotpot by Vikings are vivid, so here is another set. ☺
Not a buffet restaurant, but it is worth checking, AM PM Brunch, Bar & Café
Provenciano, the only all-Filipino food restaurant featured on my blog
I embraced being a Filipino movie fan and started writing about Filipino movies and their hugot lines.
Barcelona: A Love Untold, My Ex and Whys, Luck at First Sight, Can’t Help Falling in Love, and Can We Still Be Friends?

Thank you, Juan! I appreciate your feedback as much as I do a bar of chocolate. ☺ Your positivity is infectious, so I hope that I will gain one more follower this year. Hehe. The buffet trips are fun, filling and fattening. 🙂
