Philippines 2011

My mom was actually sad cause she said they grow up so fast. Then she saw Kavana who is actually her favorite and she said "Oh, Kavana didn't grow up that much yet!"

I'm hoping the organizers will tour them to Bohol which is just beside Cebu so the kids can see the famous Chocolate Hills. And then in Manila, the Ocean Park with lots of colorful fish bigger & fatter than cows.

If I ever get to visit the Philippines, I know who to ask for touring advice.

And wouldn't it be great if Libera DID get to go, they'd show pictures of it?

My first day in my trip to Manila last weekend also consisted of a lot of eating. Vacations, and in their case, tours, are for eating! I think we drove by the Balikbayan store on Sunday/Monday. I'd love to hear that impromptu jazz piece that Liam and Josh played in the store.

Not to mention photo-ops with cute little tarsiers!

Reading their blog makes me sooooo hungry! Man i'm craving for Asian food. Here's a video of Lechon being cut. Notice how crisp and juicy the skin looks.. they have plenty of these in the Philippines and Libera said what they're having is 'enormous.'

Time Magazine chose Lechon as the best pork dish in the world. I'm very glad that the kids got to taste this!

Anytime Lauren I'm wondering why they haven't been there yet, it'll be great for their video blogs.
I also wish they would build theaters at the Banaue Rice Terraces, Chocolate Hills or the perfect coned Mayon volcano.
Then Libera will perform there having those landscapes in the background-- that'll be awesome!

Meanwhile i don't think Libera will be happy with that youtube link of Himig ng Pasko; but fans obviously would love to see it. The video's cut security must've caught him but the video should've been erased from his camera.

I think they all got to be back at school again on monday, so there is not much time for fun. I still hope it's not too exhausting for them with all that jetlag and the tight schedule.

timjanni, aren't halloween and all saints day holidays in the UK? my school follows the British calendar and they're holidays for us. i'm not sure though, could anyone actually living in the UK confirm?

The blog talks about a photo shoot - I wonder who did the shoot and what it was for (maybe for their own website gallery?). Looking forward to those pictures!

I love that last picture with the boys on stage in an arc - one of those trademark Libera live pictures that every tour seems to have some of.
I also love the picture of Josh and Liam at the piano, it looks so natural the way they're playing together

I would be thrilled if Tiarnán was the blog author as I feel I can identify with him a lot and I am also a writer

Also, I think the author of the Inquirer article does prefer the video walls - she talks about being able to single out soloists this time around, and the walls helped to do that. So an improvement from last time.

I only checked the school holidays on common websites for the southern London boroughs. From that I think holidays were from Oct 24th to Oct 27th. But I really have absolutely no idea what else might change that, as I'm German. Would be interested, too, if I'm wrong about that.

Have fun!

While we wait for your rave review, here are some pics I took with my sis ipod touch. Sorry for the quality.








This group of girls were just about ready to propose to Josh.
