Maskara is a festive street party in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.
But this magnet has this Mediterranean appeal, pang-Masquerade party…. Ms.
Cecile’s pasalubong from another
field work in May 2013.

St. Paul Cathedral
Tita Vangie’s
(Katz’s mom) ambag to my collection from Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, May 2013.
Santorini copycat
I have never been to Santorini but the blue-white themed
atmosphere together with the alluring bluish seawater, all made me feel like
I was in that Mediterranean land. So I
brought home this magnet from Thunderbird
Resort, San Fernando City, La Union in
April 2013 during the CEM summer outing 2013.
Ao Dai
What’s Vietnamese in this magnet? Ao Dai (female dress)… Ms. Ludy’s pasalubong from Vietnam last
April 2013.
Stuff Tarsier
An endemic animal in Bohol,
tarsier – pasalubong from Rodney’s vacation last April 2013.
Mara Clara
I am definitely referring to one of the longest running
telenovela aired here in the Philippines when I named this magnet as such. There’s no physical trace of the telenovela
in this magnet but the little girl in Pre
Rup temple in Angkor Archaeological
Park (Cambodia) used the
telenovela to catch my attention and eventually, persuaded me to buy this last April 2013.
Bayon
This summer of April
2013, I went on a vacation with Mama and some travel buddies in the Kingdom
of Wonders – Siem Reap, Cambodia. The place was indeed enchanting – very
archaeological. I was mesmerized with
the creative architectures built by ancient people – it’s called Khmer
style! So I brought home this magnet
which features one of my favorite art work, the famous “face towers”, and I
named it after its home, Bayon.
Indian elephant
Wish granted – I was joking when I asked for an elephant to Ms. Cecile before she left for field
work in India last April 2013 and she got this one for me
(actually for most of us, lol!)
Isdaan
I got this from Isdaan
Restaurant in Gerona, Tarlac last
March 2013. I together with Mitch, Lanie and their
friend, Paul had a stopover there on our road trip back to Manila.
Twin cups: black version
This magnet has a white counterpart – this is #3 of the
three magnets given by Leo from Qatar last February 2013.
Twin cups: white version
This magnet has a black counterpart – this is #2 of the
three magnets sent by Leo from Qatar last February 2013.
Qatari player
My high school friend, Leo,
sent this (together with 2 more magnets) to me when Sir Nonoy and Rex went to Doha, Qatar in February 2013.
Loving Bohol
His fascination with Bohol is undeniable – it is exuded in
this magnet, Jaypee’s pasalubong from his vacation in Bohol last January 2013.

Sailing
Everything
in here says something about sailing – maybe, it’s the “in-thing” in New Zealand J… My present from Lanie on new year’s day (January
2013).
2012 Year End Count Down
2012 was indeed a
year when my road magnet collection flourished.
Thanks to the creation of this blogspot which paved the way in letting people know of my collection and encouraged some friends and acquaintances in
contributing.
To date, there have
been a total of 40 magnets collected throughout the year. 24 of which were given as presents by readers
of this blog – most of whom are my officemates.
So, I would like
to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have been part of my 2012
road magnet collection. I wish you all
more out of town trips in 2013.
Nakakataba ng puso
ang mga ambag n’yo!!! J
Barong at Saya
These
are two of the Filipino traditional costumes – barong
(Tagalog) refers to an embroidered formal garment worn by
males while baro’t saya, a
contraction of two Tagalog words which means blouse and skirt, is a famous
custome worn by women and usually referred to as saya.
I got this from Papemelroti – SM
Manila, Ermita, Manila last December
27, 2012.
Venetian Macao
From
her recent trip abroad, Mommy Cion
brought home souvenir of the world’s largest casino, The Venetian – from Macau last December 2012.
Colorful Dubai
This
is such a colorful magnet. It’s another pasalubong given by best bud, Elen, on her recent homecoming from Dubai, United Arab Emirates in December 2012.
Tsinelas ni Elen
It was
the time of the year when my best bud, Elen,
visits home. And it won’t be complete
without bringing home magnets for me.
This is her pasalubong from Dubai, United Arab Emirates in December 2012.
Dalagang Bukid
We
were having chitchat on singlehood when Glycinea
hand me over this magnet, her Christmas present from Bolinao, Pangasinan in December
2012. It was coincidental that it
resembles the red fish, dalagang-bukid
– the word dalaga means maiden in
English. Hence, this magnet
got its name. J
Gondolier
Before
the year ends, Jats hand me over her ambag to my roadmagnet collection – a gondolier
from her Macau trip in October 2012. J
