St. Helena with Constantine. Each year, during May, in almost every town in the Philippines, there is a Santacruzan . It is a parade commemorating the pilgrimage of Reyna Elena (St. Helena) to Calvary, together with other reynas  including Mary Magdalene, in finding Jesus' cross. This Catholic tradition is usually celebrated every 3rd week of May. The Tres Marias. Reyna De Virgines. Reyna Divina Pastora.

It's time for me to go back to the classics... I was actually inspired by my son who never gets tired of watching Journey to the Center of the Earth .

I am starting with Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas  that I bought from a book sale last Friday.

Finally! After a week of waiting for a day off, I finally had the chance to watch The Avengers with my son, sister and nieces. It was absolutely fantastic! I hope they will launch it in 3D! Who is your favorite Avenger? My son and I favors Capt. America while my sister and nieces adore Iron Man. Of course the rest of them were great. Thor is the hottest demigod (I should have watched the movie), Black Widow is bad ass babe, Hulk is adorable despite being green and Hawk Eye is so mysterious. I love all of them!
